9 This can be either a single cpio archive with a .cpio suffix or a
10 space-separated list of directories and files for building the
11 initramfs image. A cpio archive should contain a filesystem archive
12 to be used as an initramfs image. Directories should contain a
13 filesystem layout to be included in the initramfs image. Files
14 should contain entries according to the format described by the
15 "usr/gen_init_cpio" program in the kernel tree.
16
17 When multiple directories and files are specified then the
18 initramfs image will be the aggregate of all of them.

87 This option decides by which algorithm the builtin initramfs
88 will be compressed. Several compression algorithms are
89 available, which differ in efficiency, compression and
90 decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant
91 when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at
92 each boot.

97 High compression options are mostly useful for users who are
98 low on RAM, since it reduces the memory consumption during
99 boot.

104 bool "None"
105 help
106 Do not compress the built-in initramfs at all. This may
107 sound wasteful in space, but, you should be aware that the
108 built-in initramfs will be compressed at a later stage
109 anyways along with the rest of the kernel, on those
110 architectures that support this.
111 However, not compressing the initramfs may lead to slightly
112 higher memory consumption during a short time at boot, while
113 both the cpio image and the unpacked filesystem image will
114 be present in memory simultaneously
