CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH: Path to modprobe binary

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH has multiple definitions:

Path to modprobe binary found in kernel/module/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH:

• prompt: Path to modprobe binary
• type: string
• depends on: (none)
• defined in kernel/module/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD

Help text

When kernel code requests a module, it does so by calling the "modprobe" userspace utility. This option allows you to set the path where that binary is found. This can be changed at runtime via the sysctl file /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. Setting this to the empty string removes the kernel's ability to request modules (but userspace can still load modules explicitly).

Path to modprobe binary found in init/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH:

• prompt: Path to modprobe binary
• type: string
• depends on: (none)
• defined in init/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 5.13–5.19, 5.19+HEAD
