35	---help---
36	  Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
37	  drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
38	  of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
39	  testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
40	  known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
41	  currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
42	  uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
43	  avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
44	  testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
45	  may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
46	  in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
47	  with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
48	  (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
49	  <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
50	  <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
51	  <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
52
53	  This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
54	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
55	  scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
56
57	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
58	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
59	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
60	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
61	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
62	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

618	  is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and

1148	  userspace.  Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1149	  mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1150	  providing a huge performance boost.  If this option is not enabled,
1151	  then the flag will be ignored.
1152
1153	  This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1154	  ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1155
1156	  Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1157	  enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in

1159	  it is normally safe to say Y here.

1200	help
1201	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1202	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1203	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1204	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1205	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1206	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1207	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1208	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1209	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1210
1211	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1212	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1213	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1214	  this).
1215

1224	  Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe

1230	help
1231	  Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1232	  modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1233	  anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1234	  and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.

1236config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD

1238	depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
1239	help
1240	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1241	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1242	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1243	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1247	bool "Module versioning support"
1248	help
1249	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1250	  Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1251	  compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1252	  to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1253	  make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
1254	  unsure, say N.

1256config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL

1259	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1260	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1261    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1262	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1263	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1264	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1265	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.

1274	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
1275	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1276	  and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
