Generic Driver Options --->驱动程序通用选项
(/sbin/hotplug) path to uevent helper
[*] Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev
[*] Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the r│ │
该两个选项在启动时(mount rootfs之前)起作用,主要用于map一些外置设备,诸如外置硬盘、光驱、u盘等等。如果需要在启动时访问这写设备,可以考虑启用两个选项。其中第二个选项可以保证内核自动mount devtmpfs至/dev中,这就保证我们自己不必在构建initramfs时手动挂载了。
[ ] Create a kernel maintained /dev tmpfs (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external fir│
只显示那些不需要内核对外部设备的固件作map支持的驱动程序,除非你有某些怪异硬件,否
则请选上
[*] Prevent firmware from being built
不编译固件.固件一般是随硬件的驱动程序提供的,仅在更新固件的时候才需要重新编译.
建议选上
选Y可以阻止编译固件。固件通常和驱动相连,只有在升级固件后,才需要重新编译。
如果不清楚,选Y
-*- Userspace firmware loading support
提供某些内核之外的模块需要的用户空间固件加载支持,在内核树之外编译的模块可能需要它
用户空间固件装载支持
这个选项用于非内核的模块对固件的装载支持,它需要使用用户空间。内核本身的模块不一定提供相关支持。
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary
() External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary
[ ] Driver Core verbose debug messages

[*] Managed device resources verbose debug messages
<*> Connector - unified userspace <-> kernelspace linker --->
统一的用户空间和内核空间连接器,工作在netlink socket协议的顶层.不确定可以不选
连接器--用户空间<-> 内核空间统一连接
这是在网络连接套接口协议上运行的用户空间<-> 内核空间统一连接。
连接器可以编译为模块,名为 cn.ko 。
[*] Report process events to userspace
向用户空间报告进程事件(fork,exec,id变化(uid,gid,suid)
让连接器向用户空间报告进程事件。比如派生指令、执行指令、ID变化和退出指令。
用户空间和内核空间
User space – 用户空间,指在内核外部或发生在内核外部的任何东西。
Kernel space – 内核空间 ,与用户空间相对,指那些发生在内核内部。
Linux将4G的地址划分为用户空间和内核空间两部分。在Linux内核的低版本中(2.0.X),通常0-3G为用户空间,3G-4G为内核空间。这 个分界点是可以可以改动的。
正是这个分界点的存在,限制了Linux可用的最大内存为2G.而且要通过重编内核,调整这个分界点才能达到。实际上还可以有更好的方法来解决这个问题。 由于内核空间与用户空间互不重合,所以可以用段机制提供的保护功能来保护内核级代码。
2.2.X版的内核对此进行了改动。这样内核空间扩张到了4G。从表面上看内核的基地址变为了0,但实际上,内核通常仍在虚址3G以上。
用户空间在2.2.X中从直观上变为0-4G,让人迷惑,不是可以直接访问内核了?
其实不然,同过使用页机制提供的保护,阻止了用户程序访问内核空间。
Linux地址的来龙去脉
Linux里的物理地址,虚拟地址,系统空间,用户空间,页目录,中间目录,页面表 等等概念,把人搞的晕头转向,下面我试图澄清这些数据结构之间的关系。
我 们应该先搞清楚虚拟地址和物理地址的关系,我们在i386CPU里最少得有一层映射,即段映射,具体请参照有关文档。Linux对这一层进行了简单化,就 一个段,0-4G,另一 层映射就是开启了页映射功能之后了,要么你就不要开,开了之后CPU就要把所以的地址 都到页目录,页表里走一遍,找到相应的物理地址。所以内核中GCC编译后的地址都是虚 拟地址,用户空间中的虚拟地址都必须找到其对应的物理地址方能使用。

IPMI
事 实上为降低服务器管理系统的开发成本及管理成本,并解决不同的服务器与周边设备因接口不同而无法沟通的问题, Intel、HP、NEC、Dell共同领导并结合了多家服务器及芯片制造厂商,为新一代的服务器制定了一项重要的共通规格 – IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface),IPMI意义是智能平台管理接口。IPMI是一个开放的标准硬件管理接口规范。它提供了这样的体系结构,其中定义了各种不同的个体 设备如何能以标准的方式与CPU通信。透过IPMI这样的标准接口,系统管理员可轻易地从远程监控到服务器及Client端计算机的各项「健康状况」,并 可依此获得各项MIS管理所需要的信息,即使当操作系统(OS)失效时,IPMI仍可独立运作,协助管理者迅速了解硬件失效的原因,并进一步诊断硬件的各 项问题,以使系统能在最短时间内重新恢复运作。Intel、HP、Dell、IBM、和DEC是当今IPMI标准的推动者,他们努力促进IPMI规范被工 业广泛、开放的采用。作为推动者,这些公司协同工作,制定并合理化IPMI规范;不仅如此,他们还负有开发可支持IPMI规范的产品的使命。还有其他公司 在采用和注册IPMI标准。Intel IPMI web站点上有加入这个规范的正在实际采用IPMI的公司列表。

I2C(Inter-Integrated Circuit)总线是一种由PHILIPS公司开发的两线式串行总线,用于连接微控制器及其外围设备。I2C总线产生于在80年代,最初为音频和视频设 备开发,如今主要在服务器管理中使用,其中包括单个组件状态的通信。例如管理员可对各个组件进行查询,以管理系统的配置或掌握组件的功能状态,如电源和系 统风扇。可随时监控内存、硬盘、网络、系统温度等多个参数,增加了系统的安全性,方便了管理。它以1根串行数据线(SDA)和1根串行时钟线(SCL)实 现了双工的同步数据传输。具有接口线少,控制方式简化,器件封装形式小,通信速率较高等优点。在主从通信中,可以有多个I2C总线器件同时接到I2C总线 上,通过地址来识别通信对象。
I2C是Philips极力推动的微控制应用中使用的低速串行总线协议,可用于监控电压/风扇转速/温度等.SMBus(系统管理总线)是I2C的子集. 除硬件传感器外"Video For Linux"也需要该模块的支持

-*- Support for frame buffer devices --->
对帧缓冲构架设备的支持。这东西可以让你在F1控制台下显示图像。
什么是frame buffer?
自kernel 2.2以来,Linux就具备了在控制台下显示图像的能力,这都归功于frame buffer。所谓的frame buffer,是计算机图形显示硬件(例如显卡)的一个抽象,它提供了一套通用的指令集,使得应用程序能够直接访问计算机的图形显示硬件。一般而言, frame buffer可以在以下几方面强化控制台的能力:
* 通过使用frame buffer,某些程序可避免使用X服务器,例如mplayer,如果设定视频输出设备为frame buffer,-vo fbdev,可以在控制台下播放视频。
使用它的方法:kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda2 vga=0×317
如果发现CONFIG_FB=y,那么frame buffer选项已经开启,否则的话,你的内核还未支持frame buffer,你需要重新编译内核。
在确定了frame buffer已开启之后,就可以在Grub等启动器中加入frame buffer特有的选项。修改/boot/grub/menu.1st文件,加入类似于下文的文字:
title foo root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda2 '''vga=0x317'''
注意上文中的粗体就是加入的frame buffer特有的选项,vga=0×317表示设置控制台的分辨率为1024×768,色深为16位。
帧缓冲设备是为了让应用程序使用统一的接口操作显示设备而对硬件进行的抽象,建议桌面用户选择
[ ] Enable firmware EDID
固件的EDID支持。一般都选。
EDID(Extended Display Identification Data) 是一种 VESA 标准数据格式,其中包含有关监视器及其性能的参数,包括供应商信息、最大图像大小、颜色设置、厂商预设置、频率范围的限制以及显示器名和序列号的字符串。 这些信息保存在 display 节中,用来通过一个 DDC(Display Data Channel)与系统进行通信,这是在显示器和 PC 图形适配器之间进行的。最新版本的 EDID 可以在 CRT、LCD 以及将来的显示器类型中使用,这是因为 EDID 提供了几乎所有显示参数的通用描述。
