What's strange is that Archlinux builds it without this option, and have the Intel libdrm anyway

Code:

build() {
  arch-meson $pkgname-$pkgver build \
    -D udev=false \
    -D etnaviv=disabled \
    -D freedreno=disabled \
    -D vc4=disabled \
    -D valgrind=disabled \
    -D install-test-programs=true
  meson compile -C build
}

Code:

usr/lib/libdrm_amdgpu.so.1.0.0
usr/lib/libdrm_intel.so
usr/lib/libdrm_intel.so.1
usr/lib/libdrm_intel.so.1.0.0

10 updates (x86_64). Including a (* Security fix *)! : 4 Upgraded, 1 Rebuilt, 5 Added

Code:

Sun Oct 22 19:30:42 UTC 2023
a/lvm2-2.03.22-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
kde/kstars-3.6.7-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  It's time for KStars in Slackware to be less of a toy and more of a useful
  tool. The required dependencies have been added for EKOS, the INDI client
  included in KStars, which will allow for computer control of astronomy
  devices. Additional deps and drivers may be required, but these are runtime
  dependencies. See (for example) gpsd, libdc1394, libftdi1, libindi-libraries,
  and libindi-drivers, all of which can be found on slackbuilds.org.
  Huge thanks to Edward W. Koenig for the detailed writeup - it was extremely
  helpful! :-) Here's a link to the article:

  Hey folks, if you've been following LQ you know I've talked before about
  dropping the huge kernel and moving the distribution to use only the generic
  kernel plus an initrd. After mulling this over for a few months, I think I
  was looking at the problem in the wrong way. First of all, it's clear that
  some Slackware users have been using the huge kernel all along, without an
  initrd, and are (to say the least) unhappy about the prospect of a new
  requirement to start using one. I've been recommending the generic kernel for
  some time, and a major reason is that we've been using the same set of kernel
  modules with two slightly different kernels. Because of this, there have
  always been a few (generally seldom used) kernel modules that won't load into
  the huge kernel. These are things that aren't built into the huge kernel, but
  because of a difference in some kernel module dependency, they won't load.
  The conclusion that I've come to here is that rather than drop the huge
  kernel, or slap a LOCALVERSION on it and provide a whole duplicate tree of
  kernel modules especially for the huge kernel, it would be better to make the
  generic kernel more huge, and minimize the differences between the two kernel
  configs.
  That's what I've done here.
  Shown below are the differences between the previous generic kernel config
  and the one shipping in this update. You'll notice that most of the popular
  filesystems are built in. At this point the main difference it that the huge
  kernel has a couple of dozen SCSI drivers built into it. The modules for those
  drivers won't load into the huge kernel, but they're fully built in so that
  doesn't matter. If you find any other modules that will not load into the huge
  kernel, please make a note about it on LQ and I'll see what can be done.
  So, tl;dr - what does this change mean?
  Unless your root device is on SCSI, if you were able to use the huge kernel
  without an initrd previously, you should now be able to use the generic
  kernel without an initrd. The kernel is a bit bigger, but we probably have
  enough RAM these days that it won't make a difference.
  Enjoy! :-)

Do the Linux kernel really allocate RAM for modules not in use? From what little I've grasped about the very efficient Linux Memory Management System, I find it hard to believe...

Kernel memory is not swappable, so building in a driver (=y) permanently uses some memory unlike building a module (=m) and not loading it.

regarding modules:

lsmod | wc

first column will tell you how many modules are loaded at specific time

and

Quote:

find /lib/modules/name/ -type f | wc -l

will tell how many modules were compiled

I think that adding items as build in instead modules should be avoided. Whoever wants to run kernel without initrd should build custom kernel.
