| 15 | Simplified modutils. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | With this option modprobe does not require modules.dep file |
| 18 | and does not use /etc/modules.conf file. |
| 19 | It scans module files in /lib/modules/`uname -r` and |
| 20 | determines dependencies and module alias names on the fly. |
| 21 | This may make module loading slower, most notably |
| 22 | when one needs to load module by alias (this requires |
| 23 | scanning through module _bodies_). |
| 24 | |
| 25 | At the first attempt to load a module by alias modprobe |
| 26 | will try to generate modules.dep.bb file in order to speed up |
| 27 | future loads by alias. Failure to do so (read-only /lib/modules, |
| 28 | etc) is not reported, and future modprobes will be slow too. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | NB: modules.dep.bb file format is not compatible |
| 31 | with modules.dep file as created/used by standard module tools. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Additional module parameters can be stored in |
| 34 | /etc/modules/$module_name files. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Apart from modprobe, other utilities are also provided: |
| 37 | - insmod is an alias to modprobe |
| 38 | - rmmod is an alias to modprobe -r |
| 39 | - depmod generates modules.dep.bb |
| 40 | |
| 41 | As of 2008-07, this code is experimental. It is 14kb smaller |
| 42 | than "non-small" modutils. |

| 108 | Say 'y' here to enable support for the 'blacklist' command in |
| 109 | modprobe.conf. This prevents the alias resolver to resolve |

| 140 | select PLATFORM_LINUX |
| 141 | help |
| 142 | This option causes module loading code to try to mmap |
| 143 | module first. If it does not work (for example, |
| 144 | it does not work for compressed modules), module will be read |
| 145 | (and unpacked if needed) into a memory block allocated by malloc. |
| 146 | |
| 147 | The only case when mmap works but malloc does not is when |
| 148 | you are trying to load a big module on a very memory-constrained |
| 149 | machine. Malloc will momentarily need 2x as much memory as mmap. |
| 150 | |
