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47	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

1156	bool "Enable loadable module support"
1157	help
1158	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1159	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1160	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1161	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1162	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1163	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1164	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1165	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1166	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1167
1168	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1169	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1170	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1171	  this).
1172
1173	  If unsure, say Y.

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

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