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56	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

141	  The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
142	  Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
143	  in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
144	  Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.

148	  kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

182
183config KERNEL_XZ
184	bool "XZ"
185	depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
186	help
187	  XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
188	  BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
189	  code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
190	  comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
191	  filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
192	  will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
193
194	  The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
195	  speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
196	  and LZO. Compression is slow.

229	---help---
230	  Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
231	  system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
232	  exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
233	  and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
234	  you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
235	  DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),

252	  POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
253	  queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
254	  of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
255	  programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
256	  queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
257
258	  POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'

260	  operations on message queues.

274	  If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
275	  file names to handle and then later use the handle for
276	  different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
277	  userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
278	  of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names

314	  The config option toggles if a task setting its loginuid requires
315	  CAP_SYS_AUDITCONTROL or if that task should require no special permissions
316	  but should instead only allow setting its loginuid if it was never
317	  previously set.  On systems which use systemd or a similar central
318	  process to restart login services this should be set to true.  On older
319	  systems in which an admin would typically have to directly stop and
320	  start processes this should be set to false.  Setting this to true allows
321	  one to drop potentially dangerous capabilites from the login tasks,
322	  but may not be backwards compatible with older init systems.
