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47	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

1157	bool "Enable loadable module support"
1158	help
1159	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1160	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1161	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1162	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1163	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1164	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1165	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1166	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1167	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1168
1169	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1170	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1171	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1172	  this).
1173
1174	  If unsure, say Y.

1179	bool "Forced module loading"
1180	default n
1181	help
1182	  Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe
1183	  --force).  Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
1184	  is usually a really bad idea.
1185
1186config MODULE_UNLOAD
1187	bool "Module unloading"
1188	help
1189	  Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1190	  modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1191	  anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1192	  and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.
1193
1194config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1195	bool "Forced module unloading"
1196	depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
1197	help
1198	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1199	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1200	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1201	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1202	  If unsure, say N.
1203
1204config MODVERSIONS
1205	bool "Module versioning support"
1206	help
1207	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1208	  Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1209	  compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1210	  to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1211	  make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
1212	  unsure, say N.
1213
1214config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1215	bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1216	help
1217	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1218	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1219    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1220	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1221	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1222	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1223	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.

1227config INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE
1228	bool
1229	help
1230	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_map and
1231	  cpu_possible_map, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_map
1232	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
1233	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1234	  and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
