  • 6a108a14f   kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT ... Browse Code »

    The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
    is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
    only small devices.

    This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
    references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
    option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
    can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
    considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

    Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
    expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
    are making should enable it.

  • 6acc7d485   MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command line ... Browse Code »

    Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
    hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore,
    using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
    command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
    the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.

    This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
    scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
    currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
    is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
    arguments override the hardcoded ones.

    [Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
    change.]
