+config INITRAMFS_SOURCE
+ string "Initramfs source file(s)"
+ default ""
+ help
+ This can be either a single cpio archive with a .cpio suffix or a
+ space-separated list of directories and files for building the
+ initramfs image. A cpio archive should contain a filesystem archive
+ to be used as an initramfs image. Directories should contain a
+ filesystem layout to be included in the initramfs image. Files
+ should contain entries according to the format described by the
+ "usr/gen_init_cpio" program in the kernel tree.
+
+ When multiple directories and files are specified then the
+ initramfs image will be the aggregate of all of them.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/early-userspace/README for more details.
+
+ If you are not sure, leave it blank.
+
+config INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID
+ int "User ID to map to 0 (user root)"
+ depends on INITRAMFS_SOURCE!=""
+ default "0"
+ help
+ This setting is only meaningful if the INITRAMFS_SOURCE is
+ contains a directory. Setting this user ID (UID) to something
+ other than "0" will cause all files owned by that UID to be
+ owned by user root in the initial ramdisk image.
+
+ If you are not sure, leave it set to "0".
+
+config INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID
+ int "Group ID to map to 0 (group root)"
+ depends on INITRAMFS_SOURCE!=""
+ default "0"
+ help
+ This setting is only meaningful if the INITRAMFS_SOURCE is
+ contains a directory. Setting this group ID (GID) to something
+ other than "0" will cause all files owned by that GID to be
+ owned by group root in the initial ramdisk image.
+
+ If you are not sure, leave it set to "0".
