This can be either a single cpio archive with a .cpio suffix or a
|
|
space-separated list of directories and files for building the
|
|
initramfs image. A cpio archive should contain a filesystem archive
|
|
to be used as an initramfs image. Directories should contain a
|
|
filesystem layout to be included in the initramfs image. Files
|
|
should contain entries according to the format described by the
|
|
"usr/gen_init_cpio" program in the kernel tree.
|
|
|
|
When multiple directories and files are specified then the
|
|
initramfs image will be the aggregate of all of them.
|
|
|
|
See <file:Documentation/early-userspace/README> for more details.

prompt "Built-in initramfs compression mode"
|
|
help
|
|
This setting is only meaningful if the INITRAMFS_SOURCE is
|
|
set. It decides by which algorithm the INITRAMFS_SOURCE will
|
|
be compressed.
|
|
Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
|
|
in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
|
|
Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
|
|
Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with bzip2 or LZMA compressed
|
|
initramfs, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>.
|
|
|
|
High compression options are mostly useful for users who
|
|
are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
|
|
size matters less.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, select 'gzip'

config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE
|

bool "None"

|
help
|
|
Do not compress the built-in initramfs at all. This may
|
|
sound wasteful in space, but, you should be aware that the
|
|
built-in initramfs will be compressed at a later stage
|
|
anyways along with the rest of the kernel, on those
|
|
architectures that support this.
|
|
However, not compressing the initramfs may lead to slightly
|
|
higher memory consumption during a short time at boot, while
|
|
both the cpio image and the unpacked filesystem image will
|
|
be present in memory simultaneously

help

The old and tried gzip compression. Its compression ratio is
|
|
the poorest among the 3 choices; however its speed (both
|
|
compression and decompression) is the fastest.

config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2

bool "Bzip2"
|
|
depends on RD_BZIP2
|
|
help
|
|
Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
|
|
Decompression speed is slowest among the three. The initramfs
|
|
size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
|
|
Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
|
|
will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.

config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA

The most recent compression algorithm.
|
|
Its ratio is best, decompression speed is between the other
|
|
two. Compression is slowest. The initramfs size is about 33%
|
|
smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
