104 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP || HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2 || HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA || HAVE_KERNEL_XZ || HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
106 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
107 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
108 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
109 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
110 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
112 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
113 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
114 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
115 supplied by Christian Ludwig)
117 High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
118 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
121 If in doubt, select 'gzip'
125 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP
127 The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance
128 between compression ratio and decompression speed.
132 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2
134 Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
135 Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
136 size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
137 Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
138 will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
142 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
144 This compression algorithm's ratio is best. Decompression speed
145 is between gzip and bzip2. Compression is slowest.
146 The kernel size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
150 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
152 XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
153 BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
154 code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
155 comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
156 filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
157 will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
159 The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
160 speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
161 and LZO. Compression is slow.
165 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
167 Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
168 size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
169 (both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
173 config DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
174 string "Default hostname"
177 This option determines the default system hostname before userspace
178 calls sethostname(2). The kernel traditionally uses "(none)" here,
179 but you may wish to use a different default here to make a minimal
180 system more usable with less configuration.
183 bool "Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)"
184 depends on MMU && BLOCK
187 This option allows you to choose whether you want to have support
188 for so called swap devices or swap files in your kernel that are
189 used to provide more virtual memory than the actual RAM present
190 in your computer. If unsure say Y.
195 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
196 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
197 exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
198 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
199 you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
200 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
201 you'll need to say Y here.
203 You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in
204 section 6.4 of the Linux Programmer's Guide, available from
205 <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
207 config SYSVIPC_SYSCTL
214 bool "POSIX Message Queues"
217 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
218 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
219 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
220 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
221 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
223 POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
224 and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
225 operations on message queues.
229 config POSIX_MQUEUE_SYSCTL
231 depends on POSIX_MQUEUE
236 bool "open by fhandle syscalls"
239 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
240 file names to handle and then later use the handle for
241 different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
242 userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
243 of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
244 get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)
248 bool "Auditing support"
251 Enable auditing infrastructure that can be used with another
252 kernel subsystem, such as SELinux (which requires this for
253 logging of avc messages output). Does not do system-call
254 auditing without CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL.

275 config AUDIT_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE
276 bool "Make audit loginuid immutable"
279 The config option toggles if a task setting its loginuid requires
280 CAP_SYS_AUDITCONTROL or if that task should require no special permissions
281 but should instead only allow setting its loginuid if it was never
282 previously set. On systems which use systemd or a similar central
283 process to restart login services this should be set to true. On older
284 systems in which an admin would typically have to directly stop and
285 start processes this should be set to false. Setting this to true allows
286 one to drop potentially dangerous capabilites from the login tasks,
287 but may not be backwards compatible with older init systems.

319 accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
320 kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel

357 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
359 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
360 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
361 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
362 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
363 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
364 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
365 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
366 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
367 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
369 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
370 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
371 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
374 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
375 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
376 process and it's parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
377 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
378 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
379 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.

495 puts RCU in extended quiescent state when the CPU runs in
496 userspace. It means that when a CPU runs in userspace, it is
497 excluded from the global RCU state machine and thus doesn't
498 try to keep the timer tick on for RCU.
500 Unless you want to hack and help the development of the full

521 depends on TREE_RCU || TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
525 This option controls the fanout of hierarchical implementations
526 of RCU, allowing RCU to work efficiently on machines with
527 large numbers of CPUs. This value must be at least the fourth
528 root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS to be insanely large.
529 The default value of RCU_FANOUT should be used for production
530 systems, but if you are stress-testing the RCU implementation
531 itself, small RCU_FANOUT values allow you to test large-system
532 code paths on small(er) systems.

541 depends on TREE_RCU || TREE_PREEMPT_RCU
544 This option controls the leaf-level fanout of hierarchical
545 implementations of RCU, and allows trading off cache misses
546 against lock contention. Systems that synchronize their
547 scheduling-clock interrupts for energy-efficiency reasons will
548 want the default because the smaller leaf-level fanout keeps
549 lock contention levels acceptably low. Very large systems
550 (hundreds or thousands of CPUs) will instead want to set this
551 value to the maximum value possible in order to reduce the
552 number of cache misses incurred during RCU's grace-period
553 initialization. These systems tend to run CPU-bound, and thus
554 are not helped by synchronized interrupts, and thus tend to
555 skew them, which reduces lock contention enough that large
556 leaf-level fanouts work well.

570 regardless of imbalances in the hierarchy. This is useful for
571 testing RCU itself, and might one day be useful on systems with
572 strong NUMA behavior.
574 Without RCU_FANOUT_EXACT, the code will balance the hierarchy.
578 config RCU_FAST_NO_HZ
579 bool "Accelerate last non-dyntick-idle CPU's grace periods"
580 depends on NO_HZ_COMMON && SMP
583 This option permits CPUs to enter dynticks-idle state even if
584 they have RCU callbacks queued, and prevents RCU from waking
585 these CPUs up more than roughly once every four jiffies (by
586 default, you can adjust this using the rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay
587 parameter), thus improving energy efficiency. On the other
588 hand, this option increases the duration of RCU grace periods,
589 for example, slowing down synchronize_rcu().

592 don't care about increased grace-period durations.
594 Say N if you are unsure.

623 This option specifies the real-time priority to which long-term
624 preempted RCU readers are to be boosted. If you are working
625 with a real-time application that has one or more CPU-bound
626 threads running at a real-time priority level, you should set
627 RCU_BOOST_PRIO to a priority higher then the highest-priority
628 real-time CPU-bound thread. The default RCU_BOOST_PRIO value
629 of 1 is appropriate in the common case, which is real-time
630 applications that do not have any CPU-bound threads.
632 Some real-time applications might not have a single real-time
633 thread that saturates a given CPU, but instead might have
634 multiple real-time threads that, taken together, fully utilize
635 that CPU. In this case, you should set RCU_BOOST_PRIO to
636 a priority higher than the lowest-priority thread that is
637 conspiring to prevent the CPU from running any non-real-time
638 tasks. For example, if one thread at priority 10 and another
639 thread at priority 5 are between themselves fully consuming
640 the CPU time on a given CPU, then RCU_BOOST_PRIO should be
641 set to priority 6 or higher.
643 Specify the real-time priority, or take the default if unsure.

652 a given grace period before priority-boosting preempted RCU
653 readers blocking that grace period. Note that any RCU reader
654 blocking an expedited RCU grace period is boosted immediately.

665 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
666 asymmetric multiprocessors.
668 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of

672 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
673 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
674 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
675 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used

838 bool "Device controller for cgroups"
840 Provides a cgroup implementing whitelists for devices which
841 a process in the cgroup can mknod or open.
844 bool "Cpuset support"
846 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
847 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
848 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
849 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.
853 config PROC_PID_CPUSET
854 bool "Include legacy /proc/<pid>/cpuset file"
858 config CGROUP_CPUACCT
859 bool "Simple CPU accounting cgroup subsystem"
861 Provides a simple Resource Controller for monitoring the
862 total CPU consumed by the tasks in a cgroup.
864 config RESOURCE_COUNTERS
865 bool "Resource counters"
867 This option enables controller independent resource accounting
868 infrastructure that works with cgroups.
871 bool "Memory Resource Controller for Control Groups"
872 depends on RESOURCE_COUNTERS
875 Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous
876 memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
878 Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
879 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
880 20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
881 usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
884 Only enable when you're ok with these trade offs and really
885 sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
886 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
887 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads.
888 (and lose benefits of memory resource controller)
890 This config option also selects MM_OWNER config option, which
891 could in turn add some fork/exit overhead.
894 bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension"
895 depends on MEMCG && SWAP
897 Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you
898 enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words,
899 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
900 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
901 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
902 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
903 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
904 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
905 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
906 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
907 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
908 Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
909 size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.
910 config MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED
911 bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension enabled by default"
912 depends on MEMCG_SWAP
915 Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension comes with its price in
916 a bigger memory consumption. General purpose distribution kernels
917 which want to enable the feature but keep it disabled by default
918 and let the user enable it by swapaccount boot command line
919 parameter should have this option unselected.
920 For those who want to have the feature enabled by default should
921 select this option (if, for some reason, they need to disable it
922 then swapaccount=0 does the trick).
924 bool "Memory Resource Controller Kernel Memory accounting"
926 depends on SLUB || SLAB
928 The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
929 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
930 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
931 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
932 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
933 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.
935 config CGROUP_HUGETLB
936 bool "HugeTLB Resource Controller for Control Groups"
937 depends on RESOURCE_COUNTERS && HUGETLB_PAGE
940 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
941 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
942 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
943 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
944 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
945 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
946 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
947 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
948 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

986 bool "Group scheduling for SCHED_RR/FIFO"
987 depends on CGROUP_SCHED
990 This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
991 to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
992 schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
993 realtime bandwidth for them.
994 See Documentation/scheduler/sched-rt-group.txt for more information.
999 bool "Block IO controller"
1003 Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
1004 cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling
1007 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
1008 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
1009 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
1010 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.
1012 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
1013 One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For
1014 enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set
1015 CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y; for enabling throttling policy, set
1016 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.

1041 menuconfig NAMESPACES
1042 bool "Namespaces support" if EXPERT
1045 Provides the way to make tasks work with different objects using
1046 the same id. For example same IPC id may refer to different objects
1047 or same user id or pid may refer to different tasks when used in
1048 different namespaces.

1074 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
1075 to provide different user info for different servers.
1077 When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is
1078 recommended that the MEMCG and MEMCG_KMEM options also be
1079 enabled and that user-space use the memory control groups to
1080 limit the amount of memory a memory unprivileged users can
1086 bool "PID Namespaces"
1089 Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple
1090 processes with the same pid as long as they are in different

1129 select FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
1131 This option optimizes the scheduler for common desktop workloads by
1132 automatically creating and populating task groups. This separation
1133 of workloads isolates aggressive CPU burners (like build jobs) from
1134 desktop applications. Task group autogeneration is currently based
1140 config SYSFS_DEPRECATED

1145 This option adds code that switches the layout of the "block" class
1146 devices, to not show up in /sys/class/block/, but only in
1149 This switch is only active when the sysfs.deprecated=1 boot option is
1150 passed or the SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is set.
1152 This option allows new kernels to run on old distributions and tools,
1153 which might get confused by /sys/class/block/. Since 2007/2008 all
1154 major distributions and tools handle this just fine.
1156 Recent distributions and userspace tools after 2009/2010 depend on
1157 the existence of /sys/class/block/, and will not work with this

1174 Only if you are using a new kernel on an old distribution, you might
1175 need to say Y here. Even then, odds are you would not need it
1176 enabled, you can always pass the boot option if absolutely necessary.
1179 bool "Kernel->user space relay support (formerly relayfs)"
1181 This option enables support for relay interface support in
1182 certain file systems (such as debugfs).
1183 It is designed to provide an efficient mechanism for tools and
1184 facilities to relay large amounts of data from kernel space to
1189 config BLK_DEV_INITRD
1190 bool "Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support"
1191 depends on BROKEN || !FRV
1193 The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the
1194 boot loader (loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root
1195 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1196 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
1197 etc. See <file:Documentation/initrd.txt> for details.
1199 If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this
1200 also enables initial RAM disk (initrd) support and adds
1201 15 Kbytes (more on some other architectures) to the kernel size.
1207 source "usr/Kconfig"
1211 config CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
1212 bool "Optimize for size"

1248 config HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1252 bool "Configure standard kernel features (expert users)"
1253 # Unhide debug options, to make the on-by-default options visible
1256 This option allows certain base kernel options and settings
1257 to be disabled or tweaked. This is for specialized
1258 environments which can tolerate a "non-standard" kernel.
1259 Only use this if you really know what you are doing.
1262 bool "Enable 16-bit UID system calls" if EXPERT

1266 This enables the legacy 16-bit UID syscall wrappers.
1268 config SYSCTL_SYSCALL
1269 bool "Sysctl syscall support" if EXPERT
1270 depends on PROC_SYSCTL
1274 sys_sysctl uses binary paths that have been found challenging
1275 to properly maintain and use. The interface in /proc/sys
1276 using paths with ascii names is now the primary path to this
1279 Almost nothing using the binary sysctl interface so if you are
1280 trying to save some space it is probably safe to disable this,
1281 making your kernel marginally smaller.
1283 If unsure say N here.
1286 bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT
1289 Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
1290 symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
1291 somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
1294 bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
1295 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
1297 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1298 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1299 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare
1300 cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g.,
1301 names of variables from the data sections, etc).
1303 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1304 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1305 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1306 something like this).
1308 Say N unless you really need all symbols.
1312 bool "Enable support for printk" if EXPERT
1315 This option enables normal printk support. Removing it
1316 eliminates most of the message strings from the kernel image
1317 and makes the kernel more or less silent. As this makes it
1318 very difficult to diagnose system problems, saying N here is
1319 strongly discouraged.
1322 bool "BUG() support" if EXPERT
1325 Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing
1326 the size of your kernel image and potentially quietly ignoring
1327 numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this
1328 option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors.
1334 bool "Enable ELF core dumps" if EXPERT
1336 Enable support for generating core dumps. Disabling saves about 4k.
1339 config PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1340 bool "Enable PC-Speaker support" if EXPERT
1341 depends on HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1345 This option allows to disable the internal PC-Speaker
1346 support, saving some memory.
1350 bool "Enable full-sized data structures for core" if EXPERT
1352 Disabling this option reduces the size of miscellaneous core
1353 kernel data structures. This saves memory on small machines,
1354 but may reduce performance.
1357 bool "Enable futex support" if EXPERT
1361 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1362 support for "fast userspace mutexes". The resulting kernel may not
1363 run glibc-based applications correctly.
1365 config HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG
1369 Architectures should select this if futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
1370 is implemented and always working. This removes a couple of runtime
1374 bool "Enable eventpoll support" if EXPERT
1378 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1379 support for epoll family of system calls.
1382 bool "Enable signalfd() system call" if EXPERT
1386 Enable the signalfd() system call that allows to receive signals
1387 on a file descriptor.
1392 bool "Enable timerfd() system call" if EXPERT
1396 Enable the timerfd() system call that allows to receive timer
1397 events on a file descriptor.
1402 bool "Enable eventfd() system call" if EXPERT
1406 Enable the eventfd() system call that allows to receive both
1407 kernel notification (ie. KAIO) or userspace notifications.
1412 bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EXPERT
1416 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1417 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1418 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1419 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1420 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
1423 bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT
1426 This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used
1427 by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling
1428 this option saves about 7k.
1432 bool "Enable PCI quirk workarounds" if EXPERT
1435 This enables workarounds for various PCI chipset
1436 bugs/quirks. Disable this only if your target machine is
1437 unaffected by PCI quirks.

1462 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1466 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1467 by software and hardware.
1469 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1470 use of generic tracepoints.
1472 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1473 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1474 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1475 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1476 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1477 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1478 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1480 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1481 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1482 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1483 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1484 capabilities on top of those.

1497 that don't require it.
1503 config VM_EVENT_COUNTERS
1505 bool "Enable VM event counters for /proc/vmstat" if EXPERT
1507 VM event counters are needed for event counts to be shown.
1508 This option allows the disabling of the VM event counters
1509 on EXPERT systems. /proc/vmstat will only show page counts
1510 if VM event counters are disabled.
1514 bool "Enable SLUB debugging support" if EXPERT
1515 depends on SLUB && SYSFS
1517 SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can
1518 result in significant savings in code size. This also disables
1519 SLUB sysfs support. /sys/slab will not exist and there will be
1520 no support for cache validation etc.
1523 bool "Disable heap randomization"
1526 Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it
1527 also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).
1528 This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization
1529 disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting
1530 /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2.
1532 On non-ancient distros (post-2000 ones) N is usually a safe choice.
1535 prompt "Choose SLAB allocator"
1538 This option allows to select a slab allocator.
1543 The regular slab allocator that is established and known to work
1544 well in all environments. It organizes cache hot objects in
1545 per cpu and per node queues.
1548 bool "SLUB (Unqueued Allocator)"
1550 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1551 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1552 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1553 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
1554 and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for
1559 bool "SLOB (Simple Allocator)"
1561 SLOB replaces the stock allocator with a drastically simpler
1562 allocator. SLOB is generally more space efficient but
1563 does not perform as well on large systems.
1567 config MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED
1568 bool "Allow mmapped anonymous memory to be uninitialized"
1569 depends on EXPERT && !MMU
1572 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1573 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1574 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1575 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1576 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1577 then the flag will be ignored.
1579 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1580 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1582 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1583 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1584 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1585 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1625 bool "Enable loadable module support"
1627 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1628 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1629 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1630 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1631 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1632 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1633 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1634 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1635 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1637 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make

1646 config MODULE_FORCE_LOAD
1647 bool "Forced module loading"
1650 Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe

1652 is usually a really bad idea.

1655 bool "Module unloading"
1657 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1658 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1659 anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1660 and simpler. If unsure, say Y.
1662 config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD
1663 bool "Forced module unloading"
1664 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1666 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1667 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1668 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1669 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1673 bool "Module versioning support"
1675 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1676 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1677 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1678 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1679 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

1685 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1686 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1687 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1688 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1689 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1690 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1691 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1705 Check modules for valid signatures upon load: the signature
1706 is simply appended to the module. For more information see
1707 Documentation/module-signing.txt.
1709 !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1710 module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the
1711 debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1712 inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

1716 depends on MODULE_SIG
1718 Reject unsigned modules or signed modules for which we don't have a
1719 key. Without this, such modules will simply taint the kernel.
1721 config MODULE_SIG_ALL
1722 bool "Automatically sign all modules"
1724 depends on MODULE_SIG
1726 Sign all modules during make modules_install. Without this option,
1727 modules must be signed manually, using the scripts/sign-file tool.

1733 prompt "Which hash algorithm should modules be signed with?"
1734 depends on MODULE_SIG
1736 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1737 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1738 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1739 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
1740 the signature on that module.

1778 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
1779 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
1780 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1781 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1782 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.

1812 functions to call on what tags.
