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.

1674	help
1675	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1676	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1677	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1678	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1679	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1680	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1681	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1682	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1683	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1684
1685	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1686	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1687	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1688	  this).
1689
1690	  If unsure, say Y.

1694config MODULE_FORCE_LOAD
1695	bool "Forced module loading"
1696	default n
1697	help
1698	  Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe
1699	  --force).  Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
1700	  is usually a really bad idea.
1701
1702config MODULE_UNLOAD
1703	bool "Module unloading"
1704	help
1705	  Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1706	  modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1707	  anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1708	  and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.
1709
1710config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1711	bool "Forced module unloading"
1712	depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1713	help
1714	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1715	  kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1716	  without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1717	  rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1718	  If unsure, say N.
1719
1720config MODVERSIONS
1721	bool "Module versioning support"
1722	help
1723	  Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1724	  Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1725	  compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1726	  to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1727	  make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
1728	  unsure, say N.
1729
1730config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1731	bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1732	help
1733	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1734	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1735    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1736	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1737	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1738	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1739	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.

1755	  Documentation/module-signing.txt.
1756
1757	  !!!WARNING!!!  If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1758	  module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed.  This includes the
1759	  debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1760	  inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

1784	  This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1785	  signature generation.  This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1786	  directly so that signature verification can take place.  It is not
1787	  possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
1788	  the signature on that module.
