164 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
165 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
166 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
167 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
168 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

171 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
172 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was

1835 help
1836 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1837 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1838 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1839 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1840 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1841 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1842 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1843 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1844 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1845
1846 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1847 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1848 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1849 this).
1850
1851 If unsure, say Y.

1859 Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe

1861 is usually a really bad idea.

1865 help
1866 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1867 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
1868 anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1869 and simpler. If unsure, say Y.

1873 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1874 help
1875 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1876 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1877 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1878 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1884 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1885 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1886 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1887 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1888 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1889 unsure, say N.

1898 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1899 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1900 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1901 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1902 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1903 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1904 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1917 library.

1919 !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1920 module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the
1921 debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1922 inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

2025 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for

2027 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2028 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2029
2030 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2031 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2032 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2033 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
