[PATCH 0/3] Implement /proc/built-in file similar to /proc/modules

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Sun Sep 14 2014 - 06:18:46 EST


This series implements a possibility to show the list of built-in drivers
to userspace. The names of drivers will be the same as when they are modules.
So, if your system has "loop" driver then it appears either in /proc/modules
or in /proc/built-in and userspace will be able to know about this.

Now this is impossible. The only way to get kernel configuration is
/proc/config.gz, but CONFIG_* names can change from time to time. Module
names are more or less standardized.
