Small embedded systems typically execute the kernel code in place (XIP) directly from flash to save on precious RAM usage. This adds the ability to consume filesystem data directly from flash to the cramfs filesystem as well. Cramfs is particularly well suited to this feature as it is very simple and its RAM usage is already very low, and with this feature it is possible to use it with no block device support and even lower RAM usage. This patch was inspired by a similar patch from Shane Nay dated 17 years ago that used to be very popular in embedded circles but never made it into mainline. This is a cleaned-up implementation that uses far fewer memory address at run time when both methods are configured in. In the context of small IoT deployments, this functionality has become relevant and useful again. To distinguish between both access types, the cramfs_physmem filesystem type must be specified when using a memory accessible cramfs image, and the physaddr argument must provide the actual filesystem image's physical memory location.
