152	  Decompression speed is slowest among the choices.  The kernel
153	  size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
154	  Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you

168	help
169	  XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
170	  BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
171	  code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
172	  comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
173	  filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
174	  will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
175
176	  The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
177	  speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
178	  and LZO. Compression is slow.

224	  Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and

226	  exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
227	  and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
228	  you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
229	  DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
230	  you'll need to say Y here.

246	  POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
247	  queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
248	  of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
249	  programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
250	  queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
251
252	  POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'

267	help
268	  If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
269	  file names to handle and then later use the handle for
270	  different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
271	  userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
272	  of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
273	  get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)

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

1675	help
1676	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1677	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1678	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1679	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1680	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1681	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1682	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1683	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1684	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1685
1686	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1687	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1688	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1689	  this).
1690

1697	default n
1698	help
1699	  Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe
1700	  --force).  Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
1701	  is usually a really bad idea.
1702
1703config MODULE_UNLOAD
1704	bool "Module unloading"
1705	help
1706	  Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1707	  modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1708	  anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1709	  and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.
1710
1711config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1712	bool "Forced module unloading"
1713	depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1714	help
1715	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1716	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1717	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1718	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1719	  If unsure, say N.
1720
1721config MODVERSIONS
1722	bool "Module versioning support"
1723	help
1724	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1725	  Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1726	  compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1727	  to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1728	  make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
1729	  unsure, say N.
1730
1731config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1732	bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1733	help
1734	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1735	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1736    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1737	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1738	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1739	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1740	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.

1757
1758	  !!!WARNING!!!  If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1759	  module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed.  This includes the
1760	  debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1761	  inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.
