  23         ---help---
  24           Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
  25           drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
  26           of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
  27           testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
  28           known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
  29           currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
  30           uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
  31           avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
  32           testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
  33           may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
  34           in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
  35           with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
  36           (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
  37           <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
  38           <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
  39           <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
  40
  41           This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
  42           drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
  43           scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
  44
  45           Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
  46           falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
  47           using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
  48           cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
  49           you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
  50           drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

 139           POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
 140           queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
 141           of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
 142           programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
 143           queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
 144
 145           POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
 146           and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
 147           operations on message queues.

 156           information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
 157           that process will be appended to the file by the kernel.  The
 158           information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
 159           command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
 160           list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>).  It is

 171           process and it's parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
 172           with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools

 846           Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
 847           be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
 848           permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
 849           tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
 850           many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
 851           answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
 852           useful for infrequently used options which are not required
 853           for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
 854           modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
 855
 856           If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
 857           modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
 858           where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
 859           this).
 860
 861           If unsure, say Y.

 868         help
 869           Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe
 870           --force).  Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and
 871           is usually a really bad idea.
 872
 873 config MODULE_UNLOAD
 874         bool "Module unloading"
 875         help
 876           Without this option you will not be able to unload any
 877           modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
 878           anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
 879           and simpler.  If unsure, say Y.

 882         bool "Forced module unloading"
 883         depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
 884         help
 885           This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
 886           kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
 887           without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
 888           rmmod).  This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
 889           If unsure, say N.

 893         help
 894           Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
 895           Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
 896           compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
 897           to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
 898           make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
 899           unsure, say N.

 902         bool "Source checksum for all modules"
 903         help
 904           Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
 905           field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
 906           sum of the source files which made it.  This helps maintainers
 907           see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
 908           others sometimes change the module source without updating
 909           the version).  With this option, such a "srcversion" field
 910           will be created for all modules.  If unsure, say N.

 937           systems.  Classic RCU is the default.  Note that the
