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

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.

223	---help---
224	  Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and

226	  exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
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.

278	  If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
279	  file names to handle and then later use the handle for
280	  different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
281	  userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
282	  of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
283	  get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)

290	  This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
291	  dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier.  glibc does not use this
292	  system call.  If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or

1674	   SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1675	   instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1676	   Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1677	   of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
1678	   and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for

1774	help
1775	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1776	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1777	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1778	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1779	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1780	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1781	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1782	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1783	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1784
1785	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1786	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1787	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do

1814	  This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the

1836	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1837	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1838	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
