02 - Disable Kconfig, Scheduler and Initrd
Summary
This fragment disables kernel configuration debugging options, scheduler tracing mechanisms, and initial RAM disk (initrd) support. These features are mostly unnecessary in embedded systems with static root filesystems and limited resources.
Configuration breakdown
Kconfig debugging options
CONFIG_IKCONFIG
CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC
-
Disables embedding of the kernel .config file.
-
Disables access to configuration through /proc/config.gz.
Scheduler debugging and tracing
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG
- Disables detailed scheduler stats and debug code.
Initial RAM disk support
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
- Disables initrd/initramfs support, reducing early boot complexity.
