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33 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

525 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
526 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.

533 This option allows the disabling of the VM event counters
534 on EMBEDDED systems. /proc/vmstat will only show page counts

598 bool "Enable loadable module support"
599 help
600 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
601 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
602 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
603 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
604 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
605 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
606 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
607 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
608 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
609
610 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
611 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
612 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
613 this).
614
615 If unsure, say Y.

621 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
622 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
623 anyway), which makes your kernel slightly smaller and

629 help
630 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
631 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
632 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
633 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
634 If unsure, say N.

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

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

663 Normally when you have selected some parts of the kernel to
664 be created as kernel modules, you must load them (using the
665 "modprobe" command) before you can use them. If you say Y
666 here, some parts of the kernel will be able to load modules
667 automatically: when a part of the kernel needs a module, it
668 runs modprobe with the appropriate arguments, thereby
669 loading the module if it is available. If unsure, say Y.
