Re: kernel internal built in module loading order

Hi,
Does the kernel load internal built in modules (obj-y) in a certain
order, or in a random order? Does the kernel internal module loading
based on a configuration file?
I am running an ARM system, is there a way to delay the Ethernet module
loading until some other internal modules are loaded?
Thank you.


Yes, it follows some rules.

Please refer to the "3.2 Built-in object goals - obj-y" section of your
kernel_source_root/Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
