35 ---help---
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).
52
53 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
54 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
55 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
56
57 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
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
61 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
62 drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

141 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
142 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
143 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
144 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
145 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

148 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

1151 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1152 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1153 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1154 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1155 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1156 then the flag will be ignored.

1158 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1159 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

1161 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be

1206 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1207 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1208 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1209 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1210 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1211 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1212 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1213 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1214 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1215
1216 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1217 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1218 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1219 this).
