The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable. Several compression algorithms are available, which differ in efficiency, compression and decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at each boot. If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was supplied by Christian Ludwig) High compression options are mostly useful for users, who are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram size matters less. If in doubt, select 'gzip' config KERNEL_GZIP |

config KERNEL_XZ bool "XZ" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ help XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA. The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip and LZO. Compression is slow. |

help This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, e.g. backtraces. The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation. Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer. The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring |

Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g., names of variables from the data sections, etc). This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or something like this). Say N unless you really need all symbols. |

default n help Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled, then the flag will be ignored. This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator. Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems, it is normally safe to say Y here. See Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt for more information. |

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

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

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

config TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols" depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS help The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration, many of those exported symbols might never be used. This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing binary size. This might have some security advantages as well. |
