From c027b02d89fd42ecee911c39e9098b9609a5ca0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Changbin Du Date: Tue, 12 May 2020 23:36:07 +0800 Subject: streamline_config.pl: add LMC_KEEP to preserve some kconfigs Sometimes it is useful to preserve batches of configs when making localmodconfig. For example, I usually don't want any usb and fs modules to be disabled. Now we can do it by: $ make LMC_KEEP="drivers/usb:fs" localmodconfig Signed-off-by: Changbin Du Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada --- Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst index cc6151fc0845..5fb526900023 100644 --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst @@ -209,15 +209,22 @@ Configuring the kernel store the lsmod of that machine into a file and pass it in as a LSMOD parameter. + Also, you can preserve modules in certain folders + or kconfig files by specifying their paths in + parameter LMC_KEEP. + target$ lsmod > /tmp/mylsmod target$ scp /tmp/mylsmod host:/tmp - host$ make LSMOD=/tmp/mylsmod localmodconfig + host$ make LSMOD=/tmp/mylsmod \ + LMC_KEEP="drivers/usb:drivers/gpu:fs" \ + localmodconfig The above also works when cross compiling.
