Intro ==== This patchset removes classic initrd (initial RAM disk) support, which was deprecated in 2020. Initramfs still stays, and RAM disk itself (brd) still stays, too. init/do_mounts* and init/*initramfs* are listed in VFS entry in MAINTAINERS, so I think this patchset should go through VFS tree. This patchset touchs every subdirectory in arch/, so I tested it on 8 (!!!) archs in Qemu (see details below). Warning: this patchset renames CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD (!!!) to CONFIG_INITRAMFS and CONFIG_RD_* to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_DECOMPRESS_* (for example, CONFIG_RD_GZIP to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_DECOMPRESS_GZIP). If you still use initrd, see below for workaround.
Details ==== I not only removed initrd, I also removed a lot of code, which became dead, including a lot of code in arch/. Still I think the only two architectures I touched in non-trivial way are sh and 32-bit arm. Also I renamed some files, functions and variables (which became misnomers) to proper names, moved some code around, removed a lot of mentions of initrd in code and comments. Also I cleaned up some docs. For example, I renamed the following global variables: __initramfs_start __initramfs_size phys_initrd_start phys_initrd_size initrd_start initrd_end to: __builtin_initramfs_start __builtin_initramfs_size phys_external_initramfs_start phys_external_initramfs_size virt_external_initramfs_start virt_external_initramfs_end New names precisely capture meaning of these variables. Also I renamed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD (which became total misnomer) to CONFIG_INITRAMFS. And CONFIG_RD_* to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_DECOMPRESS_*. This will break all configs out there (update your configs!). Still I think this is okay, because config names never were part of stable API. Still, I don't have strong opinion here, so I can drop these renamings if needed. Other user-visible changes: - Removed kernel command line parameters "load_ramdisk" and "prompt_ramdisk", which did nothing and were deprecated - Removed kernel command line parameter "ramdisk_start", which was used for initrd only (not for initramfs) - Removed kernel command line parameter "noinitrd", which was inconsistent: it controlled initrd only (not initramfs), except for EFI boot, where it controlled both initramfs and initrd. EFI users still can disable initramfs simply by not passing it - Removed kernel command line parameter "ramdisk_size", which used for controlling ramdisk (brd), but only in non-modular mode. Use brd.rd_size instead, it always works - Removed /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev . It was used for initrd only This patchset is based on v6.17-rc5. Testing ==== I tested my patchset on many architectures in Qemu using my Rust program, heavily based on mkroot [1]. I used the following cross-compilers: aarch64-linux-musleabi armv4l-linux-musleabihf armv5l-linux-musleabihf armv7l-linux-musleabihf i486-linux-musl i686-linux-musl mips-linux-musl mips64-linux-musl mipsel-linux-musl powerpc-linux-musl powerpc64-linux-musl powerpc64le-linux-musl riscv32-linux-musl riscv64-linux-musl s390x-linux-musl sh4-linux-musl sh4eb-linux-musl x86_64-linux-musl taken from this directory [2]. So, as you can see, there are 18 triplets, which correspond to 8 subdirs in arch/. And note that this list contains two archs (arm and sh) touched in non-trivial way. For every triplet I tested that: - Initramfs still works (both builtin and external) - Direct boot from disk still works Workaround ==== If "retain_initrd" is passed to kernel, then initramfs/initrd, passed by bootloader, is retained and becomes available after boot as read-only magic file /sys/firmware/initrd [3]. No copies are involved. I. e. /sys/firmware/initrd is simply a reference to original blob passed by bootloader. This works even if initrd/initramfs is not recognized by kernel in any way, i. e. even if it is not valid cpio archive, nor a fs image supported by classic initrd. This works both with my patchset and without it. This means that you can emulate classic initrd so: link builtin initramfs to kernel. In /init in this initramfs copy /sys/firmware/initrd to some file in / and loop-mount it. This is even better than classic initrd, because: - You can use fs not supported by classic initrd, for example erofs - One copy is involved (from /sys/firmware/initrd to some file in /) as opposed to two when using classic initrd Still, I don't recommend using this workaround, because I want everyone to migrate to proper modern initramfs. But still you can use this workaround if you want. Also: it is not possible to directly loop-mount /sys/firmware/initrd . Theoretically kernel can be changed to allow this (and/or to make it writable), but I think nobody needs this. And I don't want to implement this. P. S. When I sent this patchset first time, zoho mail banned me for too much email. So I resend this using gmail. The only change is email change, there are no other changes [1] https://github.com/landley/toybox/tree/master/mkroot [2] https://landley.net/toybox/downloads/binaries/toolchains/latest [3]
