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

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

1689	  the keyring are considered to be trusted.  Keys may be added at will
1690	  by the kernel from compiled-in data and from hardware key stores, but
1691	  userspace may only add extra keys if those keys can be verified by
1692	  keys already in the keyring.

1697	bool "Enable loadable module support"
1698	option modules
1699	help
1700	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1701	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1702	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1703	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1704	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1705	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1706	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1707	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1708	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1709
1710	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1711	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1712	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1713	  this).
1714

1723	  Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe

1725	  is usually a really bad idea.

1727config MODULE_UNLOAD
1728	bool "Module unloading"
1729	help
1730	  Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1731	  modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1732	  anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1733	  and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.

1735config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1736	bool "Forced module unloading"
1737	depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1738	help
1739	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1740	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1741	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1742	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1746	bool "Module versioning support"
1747	help
1748	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1749	  Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1750	  compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1751	  to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1752	  make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
1753	  unsure, say N.

1755config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1756	bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1757	help
1758	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1759	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1760    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1761	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1762	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1763	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1764	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.
