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47	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

1158config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1159	bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1160	help
1161	  Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1162	  field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1163    	  sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
1164	  see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1165	  others sometimes change the module source without updating
1166	  the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1167	  will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.

1172	bool
1173	help
1174	  Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_map and
1175	  cpu_possible_map, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_map
1176	  with all 1s, and others with all 0s.  When they were centralised,
1177	  it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1178	  and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
