13 bool "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
14 ---help---
15 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
16 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
17 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
18 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
19 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
20 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
21 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
22 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
23 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
24 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
25 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
26 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
27 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
28 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
29 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
30 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
31
32 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
33 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
34 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
35
36 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
37 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
38 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
39 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
40 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
41 drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

565 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
566 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
567 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
568 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
569 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.

641 bool "Enable loadable module support"
642 help
643 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
644 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
645 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
646 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
647 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
648 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
649 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
650 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
651 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
652
653 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
654 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
655 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
656 this).

664 Without this option you will not be able to unload any

673 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
674 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
675 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
676 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

683 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
684 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules

694 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
695 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
696 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
697 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
698 others sometimes change the module source without updating
699 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
700 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

706 Normally when you have selected some parts of the kernel to
707 be created as kernel modules, you must load them (using the
708 "modprobe" command) before you can use them. If you say Y
709 here, some parts of the kernel will be able to load modules
710 automatically: when a part of the kernel needs a module, it
711 runs modprobe with the appropriate arguments, thereby
712 loading the module if it is available. If unsure, say Y.
