10 This can be either a single cpio archive with a .cpio suffix or a
11 space-separated list of directories and files for building the
12 initramfs image. A cpio archive should contain a filesystem archive
13 to be used as an initramfs image. Directories should contain a
14 filesystem layout to be included in the initramfs image. Files
15 should contain entries according to the format described by the
16 "usr/gen_init_cpio" program in the kernel tree.
17
18 When multiple directories and files are specified then the
19 initramfs image will be the aggregate of all of them.

25config INITRAMFS_FORCE
26 bool "Ignore the initramfs passed by the bootloader"
27 depends on CMDLINE_EXTEND || CMDLINE_FORCE
28 help
29 This option causes the kernel to ignore the initramfs image
30 (or initrd image) passed to it by the bootloader. This is
31 analogous to CMDLINE_FORCE, which is found on some architectures,
32 and is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the image
33 your bootloader passes to the kernel.

110 prompt "Built-in initramfs compression mode"
111 depends on INITRAMFS_SOURCE!=""
112 optional
113 help
114 This option allows you to decide by which algorithm the builtin
115 initramfs will be compressed. Several compression algorithms are
116 available, which differ in efficiency, compression and
117 decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant
118 when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at
119 each boot. Also the memory usage during decompression may become
120 relevant on memory constrained systems. This is usually based on the
121 dictionary size of the algorithm with algorithms like XZ and LZMA
122 featuring large dictionary sizes.
123
124 High compression options are mostly useful for users who are
125 low on RAM, since it reduces the memory consumption during
126 boot.
127
128 Keep in mind that your build system needs to provide the appropriate
129 compression tool to compress the generated initram cpio file for
130 embedding.

134config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP
135 bool "Gzip"
136 depends on RD_GZIP
137 help
138 Use the old and well tested gzip compression algorithm. Gzip provides
139 a good balance between compression ratio and decompression speed and
140 has a reasonable compression speed. It is also more likely to be
141 supported by your build system as the gzip tool is present by default
142 on most distros.

144config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2
145 bool "Bzip2"
146 depends on RD_BZIP2
147 help
148 It's compression ratio and speed is intermediate. Decompression speed
149 is slowest among the choices. The initramfs size is about 10% smaller
150 with bzip2, in comparison to gzip. Bzip2 uses a large amount of
151 memory. For modern kernels you will need at least 8MB RAM or more for
152 booting.
153
154 If you choose this, keep in mind that you need to have the bzip2 tool
155 available to be able to compress the initram.

158 bool "LZMA"
159 depends on RD_LZMA
160 help
161 This algorithm's compression ratio is best but has a large dictionary
162 size which might cause issues in memory constrained systems.
163 Decompression speed is between the other choices. Compression is
164 slowest. The initramfs size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in
165 comparison to gzip.
166
167 If you choose this, keep in mind that you may need to install the xz
168 or lzma tools to be able to compress the initram.
169
170config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_XZ
171 bool "XZ"
172 depends on RD_XZ
173 help
174 XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and has a large dictionary which may cause
175 problems on memory constrained systems. The initramfs size is about
176 30% smaller with XZ in comparison to gzip. Decompression speed is
177 better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip and LZO. Compression is
178 slow.
179
180 If you choose this, keep in mind that you may need to install the xz
181 tool to be able to compress the initram.

187 It's compression ratio is the second poorest amongst the choices. The
188 kernel size is about 10% bigger than gzip. Despite that, it's
189 decompression speed is the second fastest and it's compression speed
190 is quite fast too.
191
192 If you choose this, keep in mind that you may need to install the lzop
193 tool to be able to compress the initram.

199 It's compression ratio is the poorest amongst the choices. The kernel
200 size is about 15% bigger than gzip; however its decompression speed
201 is the fastest.
202

204 by default which could cause a build failure.

206config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE
207 bool "None"
208 help
209 Do not compress the built-in initramfs at all. This may sound wasteful
210 in space, but, you should be aware that the built-in initramfs will be
211 compressed at a later stage anyways along with the rest of the kernel,
212 on those architectures that support this. However, not compressing the
213 initramfs may lead to slightly higher memory consumption during a
214 short time at boot, while both the cpio image and the unpacked
215 filesystem image will be present in memory simultaneously
