10 Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
11 used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
12 usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
13 This should not be used today, because usual systems create
14 many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
15 frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
16 that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
17 it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

4237e5fd

33 In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
34 nodes with their default names and permissions for all
35 registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
36 Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
37 symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
38 It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
39 udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
40 symlinks.
41 In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
42 functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
43 rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.

93 help
94 The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
113647a2 95 that are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
156faf90 96 use these is to run "make firmware_install", which, after
97 converting ihex files to binary, copies all of the needed
98 binary files in firmware/ to /lib/firmware/ on your system so
d172e7f5
DW
99 that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
100
101 Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob
102 into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find
103 them without having to call out to userspace. This may be
113647a2 104 useful if your root file system requires a device that uses
105 such firmware and do not wish to use an initrd.

127 the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
113647a2 128 by default the firmware subdirectory of the kernel source tree.
4d2acfbf 129
113647a2 130 For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy
131 the usb8388.bin file into the firmware directory, and build the kernel.
