2019-07-15docs: early-userspace: move to driver-api guideMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+2
Those documents describe a kAPI. So, add to the driver-api book. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2019-07-15docs: early-userspace: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+2
The two files there describes a Kernel API feature, used to support early userspace stuff. Prepare for moving them to the kernel API book by converting to ReST format. The conversion itself was quite trivial: just add/mark a few titles as such, add a literal block markup, add a table markup and a few blank lines, in order to make Sphinx to properly parse it. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2018-08-22initramfs: move gen_initramfs_list.sh from scripts/ to usr/Masahiro Yamada1-1/+1
scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh is only invoked from usr/Makefile. Move it so that all tools to create initramfs are self-contained in the usr/ directory. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2013-09-11initmpfs: use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specifiedRob Landley1-0/+4
Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior, and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic reasons).
