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. --- Kirill Tkhai (3): kbuild: Make targets names tree-wide unique on x86 core: Save list of built-in drivers names core: create /proc/built-in file to show the list of built-in drivers drivers/acpi/acpica/Makefile | 28 +++++++-------- drivers/pnp/pnpacpi/Makefile | 4 +- fs/proc/Makefile | 1 + fs/proc/builtin.c | 70 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 3 ++ init/Makefile | 19 ++++++---- scripts/Makefile.build | 14 +++++-- 7 files changed, 112 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) create mode 100644 fs/proc/builtin.c -- Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai
