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).

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

656 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,

663 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
664 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads.

1250 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1251 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

1253 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1254 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1255 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1256 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1297 help
1298 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1299 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1300 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1301 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1302 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1303 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1304 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1305 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1306 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1307
1308 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1309 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1310 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1311 this).

1327 help
1328 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1329 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1330 anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1331 and simpler. If unsure, say Y.

1335 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD && EXPERIMENTAL
1336 help
1337 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1338 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1339 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1340 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1343 config MODVERSIONS

1345 help
1346 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1347 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1348 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1349 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1350 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1351 unsure, say N.

1353 config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1354 bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1355 help
1356 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1357 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1358 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1359 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1360 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1361 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1362 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1369 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_map and
1370 cpu_possible_map, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_map
1371 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1372 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1373 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
