73 when they load they cannot be used due to missing HW support),
74 developers still, opposing to distributors, might want to build such

135 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
136 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
137 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
138 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
139 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
141 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
142 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
143 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
144 supplied by Christian Ludwig)
146 High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
147 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
150 If in doubt, select 'gzip'
154 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP
156 The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance
157 between compression ratio and decompression speed.
161 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2
163 Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
164 Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
165 size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
166 Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
167 will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
171 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
173 This compression algorithm's ratio is best. Decompression speed
174 is between gzip and bzip2. Compression is slowest.
175 The kernel size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
179 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
181 XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
182 BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
183 code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
184 comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
185 filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
186 will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
188 The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
189 speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
190 and LZO. Compression is slow.
194 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
196 Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
197 size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
198 (both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
202 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZ4
204 LZ4 is an LZ77-type compressor with a fixed, byte-oriented encoding.
205 A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at
206 <https://code.google.com/p/lz4/>.
208 Its compression ratio is worse than LZO. The size of the kernel
209 is about 8% bigger than LZO. But the decompression speed is
214 config DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
215 string "Default hostname"
218 This option determines the default system hostname before userspace
219 calls sethostname(2). The kernel traditionally uses "(none)" here,
220 but you may wish to use a different default here to make a minimal
221 system more usable with less configuration.
224 bool "Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)"
225 depends on MMU && BLOCK
228 This option allows you to choose whether you want to have support
229 for so called swap devices or swap files in your kernel that are
230 used to provide more virtual memory than the actual RAM present
231 in your computer. If unsure say Y.
236 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
237 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
238 exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
239 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
240 you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
241 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
242 you'll need to say Y here.
244 You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in

246 <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
248 config SYSVIPC_SYSCTL
255 bool "POSIX Message Queues"
258 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
259 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
260 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
261 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
262 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
264 POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
265 and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
266 operations on message queues.

281 Enabling this option adds the system calls process_vm_readv and

283 to directly read from or write to another process' address space.
284 See the man page for more details.
287 bool "uselib syscall"
288 def_bool ALPHA || M68K || SPARC || X86_32 || IA32_EMULATION
290 This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
291 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
292 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
293 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
294 running glibc can safely disable this.
297 bool "Auditing support"
300 Enable auditing infrastructure that can be used with another

390 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
391 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
394 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
395 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
396 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
397 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
398 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
399 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
400 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
401 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
402 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
404 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
405 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
406 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
409 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
410 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
411 process and it's parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
412 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
413 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
414 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.
417 bool "Export task/process statistics through netlink"
422 Export selected statistics for tasks/processes through the

486 of which kernel options are used in a running kernel or in an
487 on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the kernel
488 image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as
489 input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel.
490 It can also be extracted from a running kernel by reading

506 Select the minimal kernel log buffer size as a power of 2.
507 The final size is affected by LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT config
508 parameter, see below. Any higher size also might be forced
509 by "log_buf_len" boot parameter.

520 int "CPU kernel log buffer size contribution (13 => 8 KB, 17 => 128KB)"
523 default 12 if !BASE_SMALL
524 default 0 if BASE_SMALL
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,
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.
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.
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.
547 Examples shift values and their meaning:
548 17 => 128 KB for each CPU
549 16 => 64 KB for each CPU
550 15 => 32 KB for each CPU
551 14 => 16 KB for each CPU
552 13 => 8 KB for each CPU

555 config PRINTK_SAFE_LOG_BUF_SHIFT
556 int "Temporary per-CPU printk log buffer size (12 => 4KB, 13 => 8KB)"
561 Select the size of an alternate printk per-CPU buffer where messages
562 printed from usafe contexts are temporary stored. One example would
563 be NMI messages, another one - printk recursion. The messages are
564 copied to the main log buffer in a safe context to avoid a deadlock.
565 The value defines the size as a power of 2.
567 Those messages are rare and limited. The largest one is when
568 a backtrace is printed. It usually fits into 4KB. Select
569 8KB if you want to be on the safe side.

757 bool "PIDs controller"
759 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

762 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
763 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
764 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
765 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.

800 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
801 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
802 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
803 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
804 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
805 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The

902 In this namespace tasks work with IPC ids which correspond to
903 different IPC objects in different namespaces.
906 bool "User namespace"
909 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
910 to provide different user info for different servers.
912 When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is
913 recommended that the MEMCG option also be enabled and that
914 user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount
915 of memory a memory unprivileged users can use.
920 bool "PID Namespaces"
923 Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple
924 processes with the same pid as long as they are in different
925 pid namespaces. This is a building block of containers.
928 bool "Network namespace"
932 Allow user space to create what appear to be multiple instances
933 of the network stack.
937 config SCHED_AUTOGROUP
938 bool "Automatic process group scheduling"
941 select FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
943 This option optimizes the scheduler for common desktop workloads by
944 automatically creating and populating task groups. This separation
945 of workloads isolates aggressive CPU burners (like build jobs) from
946 desktop applications. Task group autogeneration is currently based
949 config SYSFS_DEPRECATED
950 bool "Enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools"
954 This option adds code that switches the layout of the "block" class
955 devices, to not show up in /sys/class/block/, but only in
958 This switch is only active when the sysfs.deprecated=1 boot option is
959 passed or the SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is set.
961 This option allows new kernels to run on old distributions and tools,
962 which might get confused by /sys/class/block/. Since 2007/2008 all
963 major distributions and tools handle this just fine.
965 Recent distributions and userspace tools after 2009/2010 depend on
966 the existence of /sys/class/block/, and will not work with this

983 Only if you are using a new kernel on an old distribution, you might
984 need to say Y here. Even then, odds are you would not need it
985 enabled, you can always pass the boot option if absolutely necessary.
988 bool "Kernel->user space relay support (formerly relayfs)"
991 This option enables support for relay interface support in
992 certain file systems (such as debugfs).
993 It is designed to provide an efficient mechanism for tools and
994 facilities to relay large amounts of data from kernel space to
999 config BLK_DEV_INITRD
1000 bool "Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support"
1001 depends on BROKEN || !FRV
1003 The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the
1004 boot loader (loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root
1005 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1006 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
1007 etc. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst> for details.
1009 If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this
1010 also enables initial RAM disk (initrd) support and adds
1011 15 Kbytes (more on some other architectures) to the kernel size.

1030 helpful compile-time warnings.
1032 config CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
1033 bool "Optimize for size"
1035 Enabling this option will pass "-Os" instead of "-O2" to

1099 This option enables support for non-root users, groups and
1102 If you say N here, all processes will run with UID 0, GID 0, and all
1103 possible capabilities. Saying N here also compiles out support for

1120 bool "Sysfs syscall support" if EXPERT
1123 sys_sysfs is an obsolete system call no longer supported in libc.
1124 Note that disabling this option is more secure but might break
1125 compatibility with some systems.
1127 If unsure say Y here.
1129 config SYSCTL_SYSCALL
1130 bool "Sysctl syscall support" if EXPERT
1131 depends on PROC_SYSCTL
1135 sys_sysctl uses binary paths that have been found challenging
1136 to properly maintain and use. The interface in /proc/sys
1137 using paths with ascii names is now the primary path to this
1140 Almost nothing using the binary sysctl interface so if you are
1141 trying to save some space it is probably safe to disable this,
1142 making your kernel marginally smaller.
1144 If unsure say N here.
1147 bool "open by fhandle syscalls" if EXPERT
1151 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
1152 file names to handle and then later use the handle for
1153 different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
1154 userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
1155 of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
1156 get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)
1160 bool "Posix Clocks & timers" if EXPERT
1163 This includes native support for POSIX timers to the kernel.
1164 Some embedded systems have no use for them and therefore they
1165 can be configured out to reduce the size of the kernel image.
1167 When this option is disabled, the following syscalls won't be
1168 available: timer_create, timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun,
1169 timer_settime, timer_delete, clock_adjtime, getitimer,
1170 setitimer, alarm. Furthermore, the clock_settime, clock_gettime,
1171 clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls will be limited to
1172 CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only.
1178 bool "Enable support for printk" if EXPERT
1181 This option enables normal printk support. Removing it
1182 eliminates most of the message strings from the kernel image
1183 and makes the kernel more or less silent. As this makes it
1184 very difficult to diagnose system problems, saying N here is
1185 strongly discouraged.
1193 bool "BUG() support" if EXPERT
1196 Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing
1197 the size of your kernel image and potentially quietly ignoring
1198 numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this
1199 option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors.
1205 bool "Enable ELF core dumps" if EXPERT
1207 Enable support for generating core dumps. Disabling saves about 4k.
1210 config PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1211 bool "Enable PC-Speaker support" if EXPERT
1212 depends on HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1216 This option allows to disable the internal PC-Speaker
1217 support, saving some memory.
1221 bool "Enable full-sized data structures for core" if EXPERT
1223 Disabling this option reduces the size of miscellaneous core
1224 kernel data structures. This saves memory on small machines,
1225 but may reduce performance.
1228 bool "Enable futex support" if EXPERT
1232 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1233 support for "fast userspace mutexes". The resulting kernel may not
1234 run glibc-based applications correctly.
1238 depends on FUTEX && RT_MUTEXES
1241 config HAVE_FUTEX_CMPXCHG
1245 Architectures should select this if futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
1246 is implemented and always working. This removes a couple of runtime
1250 bool "Enable eventpoll support" if EXPERT
1254 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1255 support for epoll family of system calls.
1258 bool "Enable signalfd() system call" if EXPERT
1262 Enable the signalfd() system call that allows to receive signals
1263 on a file descriptor.
1268 bool "Enable timerfd() system call" if EXPERT
1272 Enable the timerfd() system call that allows to receive timer
1273 events on a file descriptor.
1278 bool "Enable eventfd() system call" if EXPERT
1282 Enable the eventfd() system call that allows to receive both
1283 kernel notification (ie. KAIO) or userspace notifications.
1288 bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EXPERT
1292 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1293 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1294 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1295 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1296 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
1299 bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT
1302 This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used
1303 by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling
1304 this option saves about 7k.
1306 config ADVISE_SYSCALLS
1307 bool "Enable madvise/fadvise syscalls" if EXPERT
1310 This option enables the madvise and fadvise syscalls, used by
1311 applications to advise the kernel about their future memory or file
1312 usage, improving performance. If building an embedded system where no
1313 applications use these syscalls, you can disable this option to save
1317 bool "Enable membarrier() system call" if EXPERT
1320 Enable the membarrier() system call that allows issuing memory
1321 barriers across all running threads, which can be used to distribute
1322 the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming
1323 pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of membarrier() and a

1329 bool "Checkpoint/restore support" if EXPERT
1330 select PROC_CHILDREN
1333 Enables additional kernel features in a sake of checkpoint/restore.
1334 In particular it adds auxiliary prctl codes to setup process text,
1335 data and heap segment sizes, and a few additional /proc filesystem
1338 If unsure, say N here.
1341 bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT
1344 Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
1345 symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
1346 somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
1349 bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
1350 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
1352 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1353 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1354 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare
1355 cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g.,
1356 names of variables from the data sections, etc).
1358 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1359 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1360 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1361 something like this).
1363 Say N unless you really need all symbols.
1365 config KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU
1368 default X86_64 && SMP
1370 config KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE
1373 default !IA64 && !(TILE && 64BIT)
1375 Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
1376 emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
1377 each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
1378 or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
1379 an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
1380 range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
1381 address encountered in the image.
1383 On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
1384 but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
1385 time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
1386 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.

1451 default y if PROFILING
1452 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1457 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1458 by software and hardware.
1460 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1461 use of generic tracepoints.
1463 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1464 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1465 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1466 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1467 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1468 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1469 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1471 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1472 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1473 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1474 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1475 capabilities on top of those.

1488 that don't require it.
1494 config VM_EVENT_COUNTERS
1496 bool "Enable VM event counters for /proc/vmstat" if EXPERT
1498 VM event counters are needed for event counts to be shown.
1499 This option allows the disabling of the VM event counters
1500 on EXPERT systems. /proc/vmstat will only show page counts
1501 if VM event counters are disabled.
1505 bool "Enable SLUB debugging support" if EXPERT
1506 depends on SLUB && SYSFS
1508 SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can
1509 result in significant savings in code size. This also disables
1510 SLUB sysfs support. /sys/slab will not exist and there will be
1511 no support for cache validation etc.
1513 config SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON
1515 bool "Enable memcg SLUB sysfs support by default" if EXPERT
1516 depends on SLUB && SYSFS && MEMCG
1518 SLUB creates a directory under /sys/kernel/slab for each
1519 allocation cache to host info and debug files. If memory
1520 cgroup is enabled, each cache can have per memory cgroup
1521 caches. SLUB can create the same sysfs directories for these
1522 caches under /sys/kernel/slab/CACHE/cgroup but it can lead
1523 to a very high number of debug files being created. This is
1524 controlled by slub_memcg_sysfs boot parameter and this
1525 config option determines the parameter's default value.
1528 bool "Disable heap randomization"
1531 Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it
1532 also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).
1533 This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization
1534 disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting
1535 /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2.
1537 On non-ancient distros (post-2000 ones) N is usually a safe choice.

1555 select HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
1557 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1558 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1559 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1560 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
1561 and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for
1566 bool "SLOB (Simple Allocator)"
1568 SLOB replaces the stock allocator with a drastically simpler
1569 allocator. SLOB is generally more space efficient but
1570 does not perform as well on large systems.
1574 config SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
1575 bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
1578 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1579 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1580 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1581 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1582 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1583 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1584 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1585 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1588 config SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM
1590 depends on SLAB || SLUB
1591 bool "SLAB freelist randomization"
1593 Randomizes the freelist order used on creating new pages. This
1594 security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel slab
1595 allocator against heap overflows.
1597 config SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED
1598 bool "Harden slab freelist metadata"
1601 Many kernel heap attacks try to target slab cache metadata and
1602 other infrastructure. This options makes minor performance

1608 depends on SLUB && SMP
1609 bool "SLUB per cpu partial cache"
1611 Per cpu partial caches accellerate objects allocation and freeing
1612 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1613 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1614 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.
1615 Typically one would choose no for a realtime system.
1617 config MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED
1618 bool "Allow mmapped anonymous memory to be uninitialized"
1619 depends on EXPERT && !MMU
1622 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1623 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1624 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1625 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1626 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1627 then the flag will be ignored.
1629 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1630 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1632 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1633 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1634 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1635 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1690 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1691 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1692 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1693 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1694 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1695 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1696 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1697 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1698 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

1718 bool "Module unloading"
1720 Without this option you will not be able to unload any

1732 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1736 bool "Module versioning support"
1738 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1739 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules

1756 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1757 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1758 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
1761 bool "Module signature verification"
1763 select SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION
1765 Check modules for valid signatures upon load: the signature
1766 is simply appended to the module. For more information see
1767 <file:Documentation/admin-guide/module-signing.rst>.
1769 Note that this option adds the OpenSSL development packages as a
1770 kernel build dependency so that the signing tool can use its crypto
1773 !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1774 module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the
1775 debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1776 inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.
1778 config MODULE_SIG_FORCE
1779 bool "Require modules to be validly signed"
1780 depends on MODULE_SIG
1782 Reject unsigned modules or signed modules for which we don't have a
1783 key. Without this, such modules will simply taint the kernel.
1785 config MODULE_SIG_ALL
1786 bool "Automatically sign all modules"
1788 depends on MODULE_SIG
1790 Sign all modules during make modules_install. Without this option,
1791 modules must be signed manually, using the scripts/sign-file tool.

1797 prompt "Which hash algorithm should modules be signed with?"
1798 depends on MODULE_SIG
1800 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1801 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1802 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1803 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
1804 the signature on that module.

1837 config MODULE_COMPRESS
1838 bool "Compress modules on installation"
1842 Compresses kernel modules when 'make modules_install' is run; gzip or
1843 xz depending on "Compression algorithm" below.
1845 module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod MAY support gzip and xz.
1847 Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be
1848 compressed upon installation.
1850 Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
1851 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
1853 Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.
1858 prompt "Compression algorithm"
1859 depends on MODULE_COMPRESS
1860 default MODULE_COMPRESS_GZIP
1862 This determines which sort of compression will be used during
1863 'make modules_install'.
1865 GZIP (default) and XZ are supported.

1875 config TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
1876 bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
1877 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
1879 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
1880 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
1881 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
1882 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
1884 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1885 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1886 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1887 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
1889 If unsure, or if you need to build out-of-tree modules, say N.

1897 config INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE
1900 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
1901 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
1902 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1903 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1904 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
