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

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53 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

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

644 Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous
645 memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
646
647 Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
648 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
649 20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
650 usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
651 at boot.
652
653 Only enable when you're ok with these trade offs and really
654 sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
655 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
656 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads.

668 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
669 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
670 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
671 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
672 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
673 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
674 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
675 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
676 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.

527 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
528 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
529 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
530 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
531 e.g. backtraces.
532
533 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
534 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
535 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
536 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
537 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
538 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
539
540 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
541 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
542
543 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
544 hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case
545 scenario while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

1717 bool "Module unloading"
1718 help
1719 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1720 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1721 anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1722 and simpler. If unsure, say Y.

1726 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1727 help
1728 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1729 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1730 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1731 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1737 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1738 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1739 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1740 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1741 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1742 unsure, say N.

1751 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1752 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1753 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1754 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1755 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1756 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1757 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1770 library.

1772 !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the

1775 inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

1878 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1879 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1880 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1881 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
1882
1883 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1884 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1885 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1886 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
