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

131	  version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
132	  supplied by Christian Ludwig)

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

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.

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)

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.

1677	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1678	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1679
1680	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make

1682	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1683	  this).

1693	  Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe

1695	  is usually a really bad idea.

1697config MODULE_UNLOAD
1698	bool "Module unloading"
1699	help
1700	  Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1701	  modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1702	  anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1703	  and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.

1708	help
1709	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1710	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1711	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1712	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1718	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1719	  Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1720	  compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1721	  to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1722	  make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If

1728	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1729	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1730    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1731	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1732	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1733	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1734	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.
