- [[https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel][Gentoo wiki page on kernels]]
|
|
- Linux also has official documentation on kernel.org and tldp.org
|
|
- the kernel is large today, most of which can be configured to be compiled or not;
|
|
there is a default configuration when compiling the kernel
|
|
- most of the features you would expect can be included + run ELF binaries
|
|
+ various filesystem support + virtualization support
|
|
+ Android drivers + debugging options for kernel hacking
|
|
+ pseudo-filesystems + most drivers for common hardware (e.g., LED, USB, and network devices)
|
|
+ special hardware drivers (e.g., Steam controller, Nintendo Wii)
|
|
- most of the options can be configured either to be included inside of the kernel image or as an external module
|
|
- most of the features are available as kernel options + =CONFIG_HID_GENERIC= enables support for generic devices such as mice, keyboards, joysticks
|
|
+ you can know what compile options is included from the kernel with =/proc/config.gz= but only if =CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC= is included
|
|
+ =CONFIG_HID_BATTERY_STRENGTH= enables reporting battery strength
|
|
- you can know what kernel options of the compiled kernel by looking at =/proc/config.gz= (e.g., ~gunzip --stdout /proc/config.gz | bat~);
|
|
though, it is only possible if compiled with =CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC= option.
