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54      drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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.

139      The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
140      Several compression algorithms are available, which differ

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

265      information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
266      that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
267      information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
268      command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
269      list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is

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

1198      SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can
1199      result in significant savings in code size. This also disables

1207      Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it
1208      also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).
1209      This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization
1210      disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting
1211      /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2.

1229    bool "SLUB (Unqueued Allocator)"
1230    help
1231       SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1232       instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1233       Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1234       of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
1235       and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for
1236       a slab allocator.

1249    bool "Allow mmapped anonymous memory to be uninitialized"
1250    depends on EXPERT && !MMU
1251    default n
1252    help
1253      Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1254      from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1255      userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1256      mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1257      providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1258      then the flag will be ignored.
1259
1260      This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1261      ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1262
1263      Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1264      enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1265      userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1266      it is normally safe to say Y here.

1306    bool "Enable loadable module support"
1307    help
1308      Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1309      be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1310      permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1311      tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1312      many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1313      answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1314      useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1315      for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1316      modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1317
1318      If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1319      modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1320      where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1321      this).
1322

1331      Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe
1332      --force). Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
1333      is usually a really bad idea.
1334
1335config MODULE_UNLOAD
1336    bool "Module unloading"
1337    help
1338      Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1339      modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1340      anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1341      and simpler. If unsure, say Y.
1342
1343config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1344    bool "Forced module unloading"
1345    depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
1346    help
1347      This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1348      kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1349      without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1350      rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1351      If unsure, say N.
1352
1353config MODVERSIONS
1354    bool "Module versioning support"
1355    help
1356      Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1357      Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1358      compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1359      to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1360      make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1361      unsure, say N.
1362
1363config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1364    bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1365    help
1366      Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1367      field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1368          sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1369      see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1370      others sometimes change the module source without updating
1371      the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1372      will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1381      with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1382      it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
