Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.2-rc1
There are a number of ACPI patches in here as well, as Rafael said they
should go through this tree due to the driver core changes they
required. They have all been acked by the ACPI developers.
There are also a number of small subsystem-specific changes in here, due
to some changes to the kobject core code. Those too have all been acked
by the various subsystem maintainers.
As for content, it's pretty boring outside of the ACPI changes:
- spdx cleanups
- kobject documentation updates
- default attribute groups for kobjects
- other minor kobject/driver core fixes
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

config UEVENT_HELPER
|
|
bool "Support for uevent helper"
|
|
help
|
|
The uevent helper program is forked by the kernel for
|
|
every uevent.
|
|
Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
|
|
used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
|
|
usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
|
|
This should not be used today, because usual systems create
|
|
many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
|
|
frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
|
|
that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
|
|
it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.
|
|
|
|

To disable user space helper program execution at by default

via /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug or via /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
|
|
later at runtime.

|
config DEVTMPFS
|
|
bool "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev"
|
|
help
|
|
This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
|
|
In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
|
|
nodes with their default names and permissions for all
|
|
registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
|
|
Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
|
|
symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
|
|
It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
|
|
udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
|
|
symlinks.
|
|
In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
|
|
functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
|
|
rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.
|
|
|
|
Notice: if CONFIG_TMPFS isn't enabled, the simpler ramfs
|
|
file system will be used instead.
|

config DEVTMPFS_MOUNT
|
|
bool "Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs"
|
|
depends on DEVTMPFS
|
|
help
|
|
This will instruct the kernel to automatically mount the
|
|
devtmpfs filesystem at /dev, directly after the kernel has
|
|
mounted the root filesystem. The behavior can be overridden
|
|
with the commandline parameter: devtmpfs.mount=0|1.
|
|
This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here
|
|
the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually
|
|
after the rootfs is mounted.
|
|
With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in
|
|
rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory
|
|
on the rootfs is completely empty.

config PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD

bool "Disable drivers features which enable custom firmware building"
|
|
default y
|
|
help
|
|
Say yes to disable driver features which enable building a custom
|
|
driver firmware at kernel build time. These drivers do not use the
|
|
kernel firmware API to load firmware (CONFIG_FW_LOADER), instead they
|
|
use their own custom loading mechanism. The required firmware is
|
|
usually shipped with the driver, building the driver firmware
|
|
should only be needed if you have an updated firmware source.
|
|
|
|
Firmware should not be being built as part of kernel, these days
|
|
you should always prevent this and say Y here. There are only two
|
|
old drivers which enable building of its firmware at kernel build
|
|
time:
|
|
|
|
o CONFIG_WANXL through CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE
|
|
o CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX through CONFIG_AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE

Say Y here if you want the Driver core to test driver remove functions

by calling probe, remove, probe. This tests the remove path without

having to unbind the driver or unload the driver module.

This option is expected to find errors and may render your system
