8 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
9 bool "Simplified modutils"
14 With this option modprobe does not require modules.dep file
15 and does not use /etc/modules.conf file.
16 It scans module files in /lib/modules/`uname -r` and
17 determines dependencies and module alias names on the fly.
18 This may make module loading slower, most notably
19 when one needs to load module by alias (this requires
20 scanning through module _bodies_).
22 At the first attempt to load a module by alias modprobe
23 will try to generate modules.dep.bb file in order to speed up
24 future loads by alias. Failure to do so (read-only /lib/modules,
25 etc) is not reported, and future modprobes will be slow too.
27 NB: modules.dep.bb file format is not compatible
28 with modules.dep file as created/used by standard module tools.
30 Additional module parameters can be stored in
31 /etc/modules/$module_name files.
33 Apart from modprobe, other utilities are also provided:
34 - insmod is an alias to modprobe
35 - rmmod is an alias to modprobe -r
36 - depmod generates modules.dep.bb
38 As of 2008-07, this code is experimental. It is 14kb smaller
39 than "non-small" modutils.
41 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MODPROBE_SMALL_OPTIONS_ON_CMDLINE
42 bool "Accept module options on modprobe command line"
44 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
46 Allow insmod and modprobe take module options from command line.
48 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MODPROBE_SMALL_CHECK_ALREADY_LOADED
49 bool "Skip loading of already loaded modules"
51 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
53 Check if the module is already loaded.
55 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSMOD
58 depends on !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
60 insmod is used to load specified modules in the running kernel.
62 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_RMMOD
65 depends on !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
67 rmmod is used to unload specified modules from the kernel.
69 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LSMOD
72 depends on !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
74 lsmod is used to display a list of loaded modules.
76 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LSMOD_PRETTY_2_6_OUTPUT
79 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LSMOD
81 This option makes output format of lsmod adjusted to
82 the format of module-init-tools for Linux kernel 2.6.
83 Increases size somewhat.
85 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE
88 depends on !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
90 Handle the loading of modules, and their dependencies on a high
93 Note that in the state, modprobe does not understand multiple
94 module options from the configuration file. See option below.
96 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MODPROBE_BLACKLIST
98 prompt "Blacklist support"
100 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE
102 Say 'y' here to enable support for the 'blacklist' command in
103 modprobe.conf. This prevents the alias resolver to resolve
104 blacklisted modules. This is useful if you want to prevent your
105 hardware autodetection scripts to load modules like evdev, frame
108 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEPMOD
111 depends on !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
113 depmod generates modules.dep (and potentially modules.alias
114 and modules.symbols) that contain dependency information
117 comment "Options common to multiple modutils"
119 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
120 bool "Support version 2.2/2.4 Linux kernels"
122 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_RMMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LSMOD
124 Support module loading for 2.2.x and 2.4.x Linux kernels.
125 This increases size considerably. Say N unless you plan
126 to run ancient kernels.
128 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_VERSION_CHECKING
129 bool "Enable module version checking"
131 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES && (BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE)
133 Support checking of versions for modules. This is used to
134 ensure that the kernel and module are made for each other.
136 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_KSYMOOPS_SYMBOLS
137 bool "Add module symbols to kernel symbol table"
139 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES && (BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE)
141 By adding module symbols to the kernel symbol table, Oops messages
142 occuring within kernel modules can be properly debugged. By enabling
143 this feature, module symbols will always be added to the kernel symbol
144 table for proper debugging support. If you are not interested in
145 Oops messages from kernel modules, say N.
147 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOADINKMEM
148 bool "In kernel memory optimization (uClinux only)"
150 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES && (BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE)
152 This is a special uClinux only memory optimization that lets insmod
153 load the specified kernel module directly into kernel space, reducing
154 memory usage by preventing the need for two copies of the module
155 being loaded into memory.
157 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
158 bool "Enable insmod load map (-m) option"
160 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSMOD
162 Enabling this, one would be able to get a load map
163 output on stdout. This makes kernel module debugging
165 If you don't plan to debug kernel modules, you
166 don't need this option.
168 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP_FULL
169 bool "Symbols in load map"
171 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP && !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
173 Without this option, -m will only output section
174 load map. With this option, -m will also output
177 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE
178 bool "Support tainted module checking with new kernels"
180 depends on (BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LSMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES) && !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
182 Support checking for tainted modules. These are usually binary
183 only modules that will make the linux-kernel list ignore your
185 This option is required to support GPLONLY modules.
187 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MODUTILS_ALIAS
188 bool "Support for module.aliases file"
190 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEPMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE
192 Generate and parse modules.alias containing aliases for bus
194 alias pcmcia:m*c*f03fn*pfn*pa*pb*pc*pd* parport_cs
196 and aliases for logical modules names e.g.:
197 alias padlock_aes aes
199 alias aes_generic aes
203 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MODUTILS_SYMBOLS
204 bool "Support for module.symbols file"
206 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEPMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE
208 Generate and parse modules.symbols containing aliases for
209 symbol_request() kernel calls, such as:
210 alias symbol:usb_sg_init usbcore
214 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEFAULT_MODULES_DIR
215 string "Default directory containing modules"
216 default "/lib/modules"
217 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEPMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
219 Directory that contains kernel modules.
220 Defaults to "/lib/modules"
222 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEPMOD_FILE
223 string "Default name of modules.dep"
224 default "modules.dep"
225 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEPMOD || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MODPROBE_SMALL
227 Filename that contains kernel modules dependencies.
228 Defaults to "modules.dep"
