config SYSFS bool "sysfs file system support" if EXPERT default y select KERNFS help The sysfs filesystem is a virtual filesystem that the kernel uses to export internal kernel objects, their attributes, and their relationships to one another. Users can use sysfs to ascertain useful information about the running kernel, such as the devices the kernel has discovered on each bus and which driver each is bound to. sysfs can also be used to tune devices and other kernel subsystems. Some system agents rely on the information in sysfs to operate. /sbin/hotplug uses device and object attributes in sysfs to assist in delegating policy decisions, like persistently naming devices. sysfs is currently used by the block subsystem to mount the root partition. If sysfs is disabled you must specify the boot device on the kernel boot command line via its major and minor numbers. For example, "root=03:01" for /dev/hda1. Designers of embedded systems may wish to say N here to conserve space. c25e92'/> net-next plumbingsTobias Klauser

efi/fdt: Avoid FDT manipulation after ExitBootServices()
Some AArch64 UEFI implementations disable the MMU in ExitBootServices(), after which unaligned accesses to RAM are no longer supported. Commit: abfb7b686a3e ("efi/libstub/arm*: Pass latest memory map to the kernel") fixed an issue in the memory map handling of the stub FDT code, but inadvertently created an issue with such firmware, by moving some of the FDT manipulation to after the invocation of ExitBootServices(). Given that the stub's libfdt implementation uses the ordinary, accelerated string functions, which rely on hardware handling of unaligned accesses, manipulating the FDT with the MMU off may result in alignment faults. So fix the situation by moving the update_fdt_memmap() call into the callback function invoked by efi_exit_boot_services() right before it calls the ExitBootServices() UEFI service (which is arguably a better place for it anyway) Note that disabling the MMU in ExitBootServices() is not compliant with the UEFI spec, and carries great risk due to the fact that switching from cached to uncached memory accesses halfway through compiler generated code (i.e., involving a stack) can never be done in a way that is architecturally safe.
