  	  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'

  	  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.

  	  Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and

  	  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.

  	   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.

  	  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.

  	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.
