配置 linux kernel 特性

编译内核的第一步就是配置内核，这是增加或是减少对一些内核特性支持的必要步骤。

为完成内核的配置必须切换到root 用户，然后转入内核源码目录：

#cd /usr/src/linux

#make config

make 后面跟上什么样的config 可以查看一下帮助信息：

root@ubuntu:/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-32# make config
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldaskconfig Kconfig
*
* Linux/i386 3.2.30 Kernel Configuration
*
DMA memory allocation support (ZONE_DMA) [Y/n/?]

从上面执行make config 输入的log 可以看出是执行的script/kconfig/conf 可执行文件，然后跟上选项参数。

因此可以，

#cd scripts/kconfig/

#./conf --help

root@ubuntu:/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-32/scripts/kconfig# ./conf --help
./conf：无法识别的选项“--help”
Usage: ./conf [option] <kconfig-file>
[option] is _one_ of the following:
  --listnewconfig         List new options
  --oldaskconfig          Start a new configuration using a line-oriented program
  --oldconfig             Update a configuration using a provided .config as base
  --silentoldconfig       Same as oldconfig, but quietly, additionally update deps
  --oldnoconfig           Same as silentoldconfig but set new symbols to no
  --defconfig <file>      New config with default defined in <file>
  --savedefconfig <file>  Save the minimal current configuration to <file>
  --allnoconfig           New config where all options are answered with no
  --allyesconfig          New config where all options are answered with yes
  --allmodconfig          New config where all options are answered with mod
  --alldefconfig          New config with all symbols set to default
  --randconfig            New config with random answer to all options
