+config CRAMFS
+ tristate "Compressed ROM file system support (cramfs)"
+ select ZLIB_INFLATE
+ help
+ Saying Y here includes support for CramFs (Compressed ROM File
+ System). CramFs is designed to be a simple, small, and compressed
+ file system for ROM based embedded systems. CramFs is read-only,
+ limited to 256MB file systems (with 16MB files), and doesn't support
+ 16/32 bits uid/gid, hard links and timestamps.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/filesystems/cramfs.rst> and
+ <file:fs/cramfs/README> for further information.
+
+ To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+ cramfs. Note that the root file system (the one containing the
+ directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.
+
+ This filesystem is limited in capabilities and performance on
+ purpose to remain small and low on RAM usage. It is most suitable
+ for small embedded systems. If you have ample RAM to spare, you may
+ consider a more capable compressed filesystem such as SquashFS
+ which is much better in terms of performance and features.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config CRAMFS_BLOCKDEV
+ bool "Support CramFs image over a regular block device" if EXPERT
+ depends on CRAMFS && BLOCK
+ default y
+ help
+ This option allows the CramFs driver to load data from a regular
+ block device such a disk partition or a ramdisk.
+
+config CRAMFS_MTD
+ bool "Support CramFs image directly mapped in physical memory"
+ depends on CRAMFS && CRAMFS <= MTD
+ default y if !CRAMFS_BLOCKDEV
+ help
+ This option allows the CramFs driver to load data directly from
+ a linear adressed memory range (usually non volatile memory
+ like flash) instead of going through the block device layer.
+ This saves some memory since no intermediate buffering is
+ necessary.
+
+ The location of the CramFs image is determined by a
+ MTD device capable of direct memory mapping e.g. from
+ the 'physmap' map driver or a resulting MTD partition.
+ For example, this would mount the cramfs image stored in
+ the MTD partition named "xip_fs" on the /mnt mountpoint:
+
+ mount -t cramfs mtd:xip_fs /mnt
+
+ If unsure, say N.
