36 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
37 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
38 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
39 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
40 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
41 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
42 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
43 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
44 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
45 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
46 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
47 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
48 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
49 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
50 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
51 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).

53 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
54 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
55 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.

57 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
58 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
59 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
60 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If

1253 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1254 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1255
1256 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1257 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1258 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1259 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1300 help
1301 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1302 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1303 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1304 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1305 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1306 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1307 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1308 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1309 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1310
1311 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1312 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1313 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1314 this).

1330 help
1331 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1332 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1333 anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1334 and simpler. If unsure, say Y.

1336 config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1337 bool "Forced module unloading"
1338 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
1339 help
1340 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1341 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1342 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1343 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1344 If unsure, say N.

1346 config MODVERSIONS
1347 bool "Module versioning support"
1348 help
1349 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1350 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1351 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1352 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1353 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1354 unsure, say N.

1356 config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1357 bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1358 help
1359 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1360 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1361 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1362 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1363 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1364 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1365 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1371 help
1372 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_map and
1373 cpu_possible_map, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_map
1374 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1375 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1376 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
