Some questions/thoughts about the ‘Installation of the kernel’ systemd
documentation.
Hello,
Thank you for reporting this, I'm going to follow up here (I just
submitted a change to LFS that handles these kernel configuration fixes)
Where is the following?
General setup →
[ ] Enable deprecated sysfs features by default
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a previous version of the kernel, this was valid (both would appear
at the same time). Now that is no longer the case, so I have adjusted it
(this option only exists when the one above it,
[CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED], is enabled)
Would the full path for ‘[*] Open by fhandle syscalls’ be clearer?
General setup →
[*] Configure standard kernel features (expert users) --→
[*] open by fhandle syscalls
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it would, I changed the text there so that it matches what
Linux-5.5+ uses.
Is ‘[ ] Fallback user-helper invocation for firmware loading’ the
following?
Device Drivers --→
Generic Driver Options --→
Firmware Loader --→
[ ] Enable the firmware sysfs fallback mechanism
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it is, that's another Linux-5.4/5.5 change (I didn't research the
exact one). I've adjusted the text for that as well.
Should ‘[*] Export DMI identification via sysfs to userspace’ be moved
above the Device Drivers section and below General setup?
I've moved the "Firmware Drivers" section above the "Device Drivers"
section, so that should be factored in. That was changed as part of the
kernel menu redesign.
A small matter, but should the wording of ‘Kernel automounter version
4 support (also supports v3)’ be:
Kernel automounter version 4 support (supports v3, v4 and v5)
Yes it should! The description in the book was implemented in a past
kernel version. I've adjusted that.
I also adjusted the path for the Frame Pointer Unwinder (it is now under
"x86 Debugging" in the Kernel Hacking menu). This was done at r11751
Thank you for bringing this up!
