axfs: add new filesystem type

2015-10-14T21:47:30+00:00

The Advanced XIP File System is a Linux kernel filesystem driver that enables files to be executed directly from flash or ROM memory rather than being copied into RAM. It has the ability to store individual *pages* in a file uncompressed/XIP or compressed/Demand Paged. This commit only adds support for 'XIP all' mode, so all the files that have the execute attribute set will be XIP'ed. At the moment, the FS is not supported in Linux mainline (v4.3-rc5), so the kernel has to be built with the axfs patches to be able to read it.

Move rootfs content options under system configuration

2011-05-12T21:40:05+00:00

Instead of the current mix between system config and filesystem menus. At the same time rename 'Target filesystem options' menu to 'Filesystem images' as it now only contains options about image formats. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Allow several device tables and split in two parts our device table

2011-05-09T14:52:22+00:00

This allows to have a device table for all directories/files and another device table for the device files themselves. Both are needed for static /dev, but only the first one is needed when devtmpfs/mdev/udev are used. We take this opportunity to move the documentation of the device table format in a common location, package/makedevs/README.

Create menu entry to select device creation method

2011-05-09T12:20:03+00:00

Four methods for the creation of device files in /dev are now proposed: - static method uses device table as before - devtmpfs method enables this feature in kernel - mdev method adds mdev starting script to the file system and selects mdev itself for installation - udev method selects udev for installation All dynamic methods are based on devtmpfs, so one doesn't need to care about /dev folder.

fs: change the way the device table is configured

2010-04-17T02:36:23+00:00

Until now, the location of the device table was specified by a variable in board Makefiles. Unfortunately, this variable is not accessible from fs/common.mk, since the target/ code is included *after* fs/common.mk. Anyway, the general idea is to move away from these boards Makefile, and provide configuration option for things like the device table location. Therefore, this patch adds a BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE option which allows to specify which device table should be used. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
