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) . (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 bool "Gzip" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP help The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance between compression ratio and decompression speed. config KERNEL_BZIP2 bool "Bzip2" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2 help Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate. Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip. Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting. config KERNEL_LZMA bool "LZMA" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA help This compression algorithm's ratio is best. Decompression speed is between gzip and bzip2. Compression is slowest. The kernel size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in comparison to 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. config KERNEL_LZO bool "LZO" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO help Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed (both compression and decompression) is the fastest. config KERNEL_LZ4 bool "LZ4" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZ4 help LZ4 is an LZ77-type compressor with a fixed, byte-oriented encoding. A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at . Its compression ratio is worse than LZO. The size of the kernel is about 8% bigger than LZO. But the decompression speed is faster than LZO. endchoice config DEFAULT_HOSTNAME string "Default hostname" default "(none)" help This option determines the default system hostname before userspace calls sethostname(2).

It is generally considered to be a good thing, and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from ), you'll need to say Y here.

In POSIX message queues every message has a priority which decides about succession of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message queues (functions mq_*) say Y here. POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue' and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem operations on message queues. If unsure, say Y. config POSIX_MQUEUE_SYSCTL bool depends on POSIX_MQUEUE depends on SYSCTL default y config FHANDLE bool "open by fhandle syscalls" select EXPORTFS help If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map file names to handle and then later use the handle for different file system operations. This is useful in implementing userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names get renamed.

On systems which use systemd or a similar central process to restart login services this should be set to true. On older systems in which an admin would typically have to directly stop and start processes this should be set to false. Setting this to true allows one to drop potentially dangerous capabilites from the login tasks, but may not be backwards compatible with older init systems. source "kernel/irq/Kconfig" source "kernel/time/Kconfig" menu "CPU/Task time and stats accounting" config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING bool choice prompt "Cputime accounting" default TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING if !PPC64 default VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE if PPC64 # Kind of a stub config for the pure tick based cputime accounting config TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING bool "Simple tick based cputime accounting" depends on !S390 && !NO_HZ_FULL help This is the basic tick based cputime accounting that maintains statistics about user, system and idle time spent on per jiffies granularity.

If in doubt, say N here. endchoice config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT bool "BSD Process Accounting" help If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The information includes things such as creation time, owning user, command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete list is in the struct acct in ). It is up to the user level program to do useful things with this information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y. config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format" depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT default n help If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each process and it's parent.

It means that when a CPU runs in userspace, it is excluded from the global RCU state machine and thus doesn't try to keep the timer tick on for RCU. Unless you want to hack and help the development of the full dynticks mode, you shouldn't enable this option. It also adds unnecessary overhead.

This value must be at least the fourth root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS to be insanely large. The default value of RCU_FANOUT should be used for production systems, but if you are stress-testing the RCU implementation itself, small RCU_FANOUT values allow you to test large-system code paths on small(er) systems.

Systems that synchronize their scheduling-clock interrupts for energy-efficiency reasons will want the default because the smaller leaf-level fanout keeps lock contention levels acceptably low. Very large systems (hundreds or thousands of CPUs) will instead want to set this value to the maximum value possible in order to reduce the number of cache misses incurred during RCU's grace-period initialization. These systems tend to run CPU-bound, and thus are not helped by synchronized interrupts, and thus tend to skew them, which reduces lock contention enough that large leaf-level fanouts work well. Select a specific number if testing RCU itself. Select the maximum permissible value for large systems. Take the default if unsure. config RCU_FANOUT_EXACT bool "Disable tree-based hierarchical RCU auto-balancing" depends on TREE_RCU || TREE_PREEMPT_RCU default n help This option forces use of the exact RCU_FANOUT value specified, regardless of imbalances in the hierarchy. This is useful for testing RCU itself, and might one day be useful on systems with strong NUMA behavior. Without RCU_FANOUT_EXACT, the code will balance the hierarchy. Say N if unsure. config RCU_FAST_NO_HZ bool "Accelerate last non-dyntick-idle CPU's grace periods" depends on NO_HZ_COMMON && SMP default n help This option permits CPUs to enter dynticks-idle state even if they have RCU callbacks queued, and prevents RCU from waking these CPUs up more than roughly once every four jiffies (by default, you can adjust this using the rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay parameter), thus improving energy efficiency. On the other hand, this option increases the duration of RCU grace periods, for example, slowing down synchronize_rcu().

Say Y here if you are working with real-time apps or heavy loads Say N here if you are unsure. config RCU_BOOST_PRIO int "Real-time priority to boost RCU readers to" range 1 99 depends on RCU_BOOST default 1 help This option specifies the real-time priority to which long-term preempted RCU readers are to be boosted. If you are working with a real-time application that has one or more CPU-bound threads running at a real-time priority level, you should set RCU_BOOST_PRIO to a priority higher then the highest-priority real-time CPU-bound thread. The default RCU_BOOST_PRIO value of 1 is appropriate in the common case, which is real-time applications that do not have any CPU-bound threads. Some real-time applications might not have a single real-time thread that saturates a given CPU, but instead might have multiple real-time threads that, taken together, fully utilize that CPU. In this case, you should set RCU_BOOST_PRIO to a priority higher than the lowest-priority thread that is conspiring to prevent the CPU from running any non-real-time tasks. For example, if one thread at priority 10 and another thread at priority 5 are between themselves fully consuming the CPU time on a given CPU, then RCU_BOOST_PRIO should be set to priority 6 or higher. Specify the real-time priority, or take the default if unsure. config RCU_BOOST_DELAY int "Milliseconds to delay boosting after RCU grace-period start" range 0 3000 depends on RCU_BOOST default 500 help This option specifies the time to wait after the beginning of a given grace period before priority-boosting preempted RCU readers blocking that grace period. Note that any RCU reader blocking an expedited RCU grace period is boosted immediately. Accept the default if unsure. config RCU_NOCB_CPU bool "Offload RCU callback processing from boot-selected CPUs" depends on TREE_RCU || TREE_PREEMPT_RCU default n help Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered asymmetric multiprocessors. This option offloads callback invocation from the set of CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter. For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded, and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

Additional no-CBs CPUs may be specified by the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter. config RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE bool "No build_forced no-CBs CPUs" depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU && !NO_HZ_FULL help This option does not force any of the CPUs to be no-CBs CPUs. Only CPUs designated by the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter will be no-CBs CPUs, whose RCU callbacks will be invoked by per-CPU kthreads whose names begin with "rcuo". All other CPUs will invoke their own RCU callbacks in softirq context. Select this option if you want to choose no-CBs CPUs at boot time, for example, to allow testing of different no-CBs configurations without having to rebuild the kernel each time. config RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO bool "CPU 0 is a build_forced no-CBs CPU" depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU && !NO_HZ_FULL help This option forces CPU 0 to be a no-CBs CPU, so that its RCU callbacks are invoked by a per-CPU kthread whose name begins with "rcuo". Additional CPUs may be designated as no-CBs CPUs using the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter will be no-CBs CPUs. All other CPUs will invoke their own RCU callbacks in softirq context. Select this if CPU 0 needs to be a no-CBs CPU for real-time or energy-efficiency reasons, but the real reason it exists is to ensure that randconfig testing covers mixed systems. config RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL bool "All CPUs are build_forced no-CBs CPUs" depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU help This option forces all CPUs to be no-CBs CPUs. The rcu_nocbs= boot parameter will be ignored. All CPUs' RCU callbacks will be executed in the context of per-CPU rcuo kthreads created for this purpose. Assuming that the kthreads whose names start with "rcuo" are bound to "housekeeping" CPUs, this reduces OS jitter on the remaining CPUs, but might decrease memory locality during RCU-callback invocation, thus potentially degrading throughput.

(See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt) Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead associated with each page of memory in the system. By this, 8(16)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out at boot. Only enable when you're ok with these trade offs and really sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads. (and lose benefits of memory resource controller) This config option also selects MM_OWNER config option, which could in turn add some fork/exit overhead. config MEMCG_SWAP bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension" depends on MEMCG && SWAP help Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words, when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information. Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y, if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted. Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry.

When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage. The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages. config CGROUP_PERF bool "Enable perf_event per-cpu per-container group (cgroup) monitoring" depends on PERF_EVENTS && CGROUPS help This option extends the per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring to threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the designated cpu.

For enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y; for enabling throttling policy, set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y. See Documentation/cgroups/blkio-controller.txt for more information. config DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP bool "Enable Block IO controller debugging" depends on BLK_CGROUP default n ---help--- Enable some debugging help. Currently it exports additional stat files in a cgroup which can be useful for debugging. endif # CGROUPS config CHECKPOINT_RESTORE bool "Checkpoint/restore support" if EXPERT default n help Enables additional kernel features in a sake of checkpoint/restore. In particular it adds auxiliary prctl codes to setup process text, data and heap segment sizes, and a few additional /proc filesystem entries. If unsure, say N here. menuconfig NAMESPACES bool "Namespaces support" if EXPERT default !EXPERT help Provides the way to make tasks work with different objects using the same id. For example same IPC id may refer to different objects or same user id or pid may refer to different tasks when used in different namespaces. if NAMESPACES config UTS_NS bool "UTS namespace" default y help In this namespace tasks see different info provided with the uname() system call config IPC_NS bool "IPC namespace" depends on (SYSVIPC || POSIX_MQUEUE) default y help In this namespace tasks work with IPC ids which correspond to different IPC objects in different namespaces. config USER_NS bool "User namespace" depends on UIDGID_CONVERTED select UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS default n help This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces to provide different user info for different servers. When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is recommended that the MEMCG and MEMCG_KMEM options also be enabled and that user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount of memory a memory unprivileged users can use. If unsure, say N. config PID_NS bool "PID Namespaces" default y help Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple processes with the same pid as long as they are in different pid namespaces. This is a building block of containers. config NET_NS bool "Network namespace" depends on NET default y help Allow user space to create what appear to be multiple instances of the network stack. endif # NAMESPACES config UIDGID_CONVERTED # True if all of the selected software conmponents are known # to have uid_t and gid_t converted to kuid_t and kgid_t # where appropriate and are otherwise safe to use with # the user namespace. bool default y # Filesystems depends on XFS_FS = n config UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS bool "Require conversions between uid/gids and their internal representation" depends on UIDGID_CONVERTED default n help While the nececessary conversions are being added to all subsystems this option allows the code to continue to build for unconverted subsystems. Say Y here if you want the strict type checking enabled config SCHED_AUTOGROUP bool "Automatic process group scheduling" select EVENTFD select CGROUPS select CGROUP_SCHED select FAIR_GROUP_SCHED help This option optimizes the scheduler for common desktop workloads by automatically creating and populating task groups. This separation of workloads isolates aggressive CPU burners (like build jobs) from desktop applications. Task group autogeneration is currently based upon task session. config MM_OWNER bool config SYSFS_DEPRECATED bool "Enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools" depends on SYSFS default n help This option adds code that switches the layout of the "block" class devices, to not show up in /sys/class/block/, but only in /sys/block/. This switch is only active when the sysfs.deprecated=1 boot option is passed or the SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is set. This option allows new kernels to run on old distributions and tools, which might get confused by /sys/class/block/. Since 2007/2008 all major distributions and tools handle this just fine. Recent distributions and userspace tools after 2009/2010 depend on the existence of /sys/class/block/, and will not work with this option enabled. Only if you are using a new kernel on an old distribution, you might need to say Y here. config SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 bool "Enable deprecated sysfs features by default" default n depends on SYSFS depends on SYSFS_DEPRECATED help Enable deprecated sysfs by default. See the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option for more details about this option. Only if you are using a new kernel on an old distribution, you might need to say Y here. Even then, odds are you would not need it enabled, you can always pass the boot option if absolutely necessary. config RELAY bool "Kernel->user space relay support (formerly relayfs)" help This option enables support for relay interface support in certain file systems (such as debugfs). It is designed to provide an efficient mechanism for tools and facilities to relay large amounts of data from kernel space to user space. If unsure, say N. config BLK_DEV_INITRD bool "Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support" depends on BROKEN || !FRV help The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the boot loader (loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system, etc. See for details. If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this also enables initial RAM disk (initrd) support and adds 15 Kbytes (more on some other architectures) to the kernel size. If unsure say Y. if BLK_DEV_INITRD source "usr/Kconfig" endif config CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE bool "Optimize for size" help Enabling this option will pass "-Os" instead of "-O2" to gcc resulting in a smaller kernel. If unsure, say N. config SYSCTL bool config ANON_INODES bool config HAVE_UID16 bool config SYSCTL_EXCEPTION_TRACE bool help Enable support for /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace. config SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_NO_WARN bool help Enable support for /proc/sys/kernel/ignore-unaligned-usertrap Allows arch to define/use @no_unaligned_warning to possibly warn about unaligned access emulation going on under the hood. config SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_ALLOW bool help Enable support for /proc/sys/kernel/unaligned-trap Allows arches to define/use @unaligned_enabled to runtime toggle the unaligned access emulation. see arch/parisc/kernel/unaligned.c for reference config HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM bool menuconfig EXPERT bool "Configure standard kernel features (expert users)" # Unhide debug options, to make the on-by-default options visible select DEBUG_KERNEL help This option allows certain base kernel options and settings to be disabled or tweaked. This is for specialized environments which can tolerate a "non-standard" kernel. Only use this if you really know what you are doing. config UID16 bool "Enable 16-bit UID system calls" if EXPERT depends on HAVE_UID16 default y help This enables the legacy 16-bit UID syscall wrappers. config SYSCTL_SYSCALL bool "Sysctl syscall support" if EXPERT depends on PROC_SYSCTL default n select SYSCTL ---help--- sys_sysctl uses binary paths that have been found challenging to properly maintain and use. The interface in /proc/sys using paths with ascii names is now the primary path to this information. Almost nothing using the binary sysctl interface so if you are trying to save some space it is probably safe to disable this, making your kernel marginally smaller. If unsure say N here. config KALLSYMS bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT default y help Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image. config KALLSYMS_ALL bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms" depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS help 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. config PRINTK default y bool "Enable support for printk" if EXPERT select IRQ_WORK help This option enables normal printk support. Removing it eliminates most of the message strings from the kernel image and makes the kernel more or less silent. As this makes it very difficult to diagnose system problems, saying N here is strongly discouraged. config BUG bool "BUG() support" if EXPERT default y help Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing the size of your kernel image and potentially quietly ignoring numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors. Just say Y. config ELF_CORE depends on COREDUMP default y bool "Enable ELF core dumps" if EXPERT help Enable support for generating core dumps. Disabling saves about 4k. config PCSPKR_PLATFORM bool "Enable PC-Speaker support" if EXPERT depends on HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM select I8253_LOCK default y help This option allows to disable the internal PC-Speaker support, saving some memory. config BASE_FULL default y bool "Enable full-sized data structures for core" if EXPERT help Disabling this option reduces the size of miscellaneous core kernel data structures. This saves memory on small machines, but may reduce performance. config FUTEX bool "Enable futex support" if EXPERT default y select RT_MUTEXES help Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without support for "fast userspace mutexes". The resulting kernel may not run glibc-based applications correctly. config EPOLL bool "Enable eventpoll support" if EXPERT default y select ANON_INODES help Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without support for epoll family of system calls. config SIGNALFD bool "Enable signalfd() system call" if EXPERT select ANON_INODES default y help Enable the signalfd() system call that allows to receive signals on a file descriptor. If unsure, say Y. config TIMERFD bool "Enable timerfd() system call" if EXPERT select ANON_INODES default y help Enable the timerfd() system call that allows to receive timer events on a file descriptor. If unsure, say Y. config EVENTFD bool "Enable eventfd() system call" if EXPERT select ANON_INODES default y help Enable the eventfd() system call that allows to receive both kernel notification (ie. KAIO) or userspace notifications. If unsure, say Y. config SHMEM bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EXPERT default y depends on MMU help The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory. It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code, which may be appropriate on small systems without swap. config AIO bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT default y help This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling this option saves about 7k. config PCI_QUIRKS default y bool "Enable PCI quirk workarounds" if EXPERT depends on PCI help This enables workarounds for various PCI chipset bugs/quirks. Disable this only if your target machine is unaffected by PCI quirks. config EMBEDDED bool "Embedded system" select EXPERT help This option should be enabled if compiling the kernel for an embedded system so certain expert options are available for configuration. config HAVE_PERF_EVENTS bool help See tools/perf/design.txt for details. config PERF_USE_VMALLOC bool help See tools/perf/design.txt for details menu "Kernel Performance Events And Counters" config PERF_EVENTS bool "Kernel performance events and counters" default y if PROFILING depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS select ANON_INODES select IRQ_WORK help Enable kernel support for various performance events provided by software and hardware. Software events are supported either built-in or via the use of generic tracepoints. Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance counter registers. These registers count the number of certain types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be used to profile the code that runs on that CPU. The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event capabilities on top of those. Say Y if unsure. config DEBUG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC default n bool "Debug: use vmalloc to back perf mmap() buffers" depends on PERF_EVENTS && DEBUG_KERNEL select PERF_USE_VMALLOC help Use vmalloc memory to back perf mmap() buffers. Mostly useful for debugging the vmalloc code on platforms that don't require it. Say N if unsure. endmenu config VM_EVENT_COUNTERS default y bool "Enable VM event counters for /proc/vmstat" if EXPERT help VM event counters are needed for event counts to be shown. This option allows the disabling of the VM event counters on EXPERT systems. /proc/vmstat will only show page counts if VM event counters are disabled. config SLUB_DEBUG default y bool "Enable SLUB debugging support" if EXPERT depends on SLUB && SYSFS help SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can result in significant savings in code size. This also disables SLUB sysfs support. /sys/slab will not exist and there will be no support for cache validation etc. config COMPAT_BRK bool "Disable heap randomization" default y help Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based). This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2. On non-ancient distros (post-2000 ones) N is usually a safe choice. choice prompt "Choose SLAB allocator" default SLUB help This option allows to select a slab allocator. config SLAB bool "SLAB" help The regular slab allocator that is established and known to work well in all environments. It organizes cache hot objects in per cpu and per node queues. config SLUB bool "SLUB (Unqueued Allocator)" help SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach). Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for a slab allocator. config SLOB depends on EXPERT bool "SLOB (Simple Allocator)" help SLOB replaces the stock allocator with a drastically simpler allocator. SLOB is generally more space efficient but does not perform as well on large systems. endchoice config SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL default y depends on SLUB bool "SLUB per cpu partial cache" help Per cpu partial caches accellerate objects allocation and freeing that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes. Typically one would choose no for a realtime system. config MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED bool "Allow mmapped anonymous memory to be uninitialized" depends on EXPERT && !MMU 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. config PROFILING bool "Profiling support" help Say Y here to enable the extended profiling support mechanisms used by profilers such as OProfile. # # Place an empty function call at each tracepoint site. Can be # dynamically changed for a probe function. # config TRACEPOINTS bool source "arch/Kconfig" endmenu # General setup config HAVE_GENERIC_DMA_COHERENT bool default n config SLABINFO bool depends on PROC_FS depends on SLAB || SLUB_DEBUG default y config RT_MUTEXES boolean config BASE_SMALL int default 0 if BASE_FULL default 1 if !BASE_FULL menuconfig MODULES bool "Enable loadable module support" 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. if MODULES config MODULE_FORCE_LOAD bool "Forced module loading" default n help Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe --force). Forced module loading sets the 'F' (forced) taint flag and is usually a really bad idea. config MODULE_UNLOAD bool "Module unloading" help Without this option you will not be able to unload any modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster and simpler. If unsure, say Y. config MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD bool "Forced module unloading" depends on MODULE_UNLOAD help This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users. If unsure, say N. config MODVERSIONS bool "Module versioning support" 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. config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL bool "Source checksum for all modules" 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 MODULE_SIG bool "Module signature verification" depends on MODULES select KEYS select CRYPTO select ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE select ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE select PUBLIC_KEY_ALGO_RSA select ASN1 select OID_REGISTRY select X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER help Check modules for valid signatures upon load: the signature is simply appended to the module. For more information see Documentation/module-signing.txt. !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced. config MODULE_SIG_FORCE bool "Require modules to be validly signed" depends on MODULE_SIG help Reject unsigned modules or signed modules for which we don't have a key. Without this, such modules will simply taint the kernel. config MODULE_SIG_ALL bool "Automatically sign all modules" default y depends on MODULE_SIG help Sign all modules during make modules_install. Without this option, modules must be signed manually, using the scripts/sign-file tool. comment "Do not forget to sign required modules with scripts/sign-file" depends on MODULE_SIG_FORCE && !MODULE_SIG_ALL choice prompt "Which hash algorithm should modules be signed with?" depends on MODULE_SIG help This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check the signature on that module. config MODULE_SIG_SHA1 bool "Sign modules with SHA-1" select CRYPTO_SHA1 config MODULE_SIG_SHA224 bool "Sign modules with SHA-224" select CRYPTO_SHA256 config MODULE_SIG_SHA256 bool "Sign modules with SHA-256" select CRYPTO_SHA256 config MODULE_SIG_SHA384 bool "Sign modules with SHA-384" select CRYPTO_SHA512 config MODULE_SIG_SHA512 bool "Sign modules with SHA-512" select CRYPTO_SHA512 endchoice config MODULE_SIG_HASH string depends on MODULE_SIG default "sha1" if MODULE_SIG_SHA1 default "sha224" if MODULE_SIG_SHA224 default "sha256" if MODULE_SIG_SHA256 default "sha384" if MODULE_SIG_SHA384 default "sha512" if MODULE_SIG_SHA512 endif # MODULES config INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE bool help Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised, it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys. config STOP_MACHINE bool default y depends on (SMP && MODULE_UNLOAD) || HOTPLUG_CPU help Need stop_machine() primitive. source "block/Kconfig" config PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS bool config PADATA depends on SMP bool # Can be selected by architectures with broken toolchains # that get confused by correct const<->read_only section # mappings config BROKEN_RODATA bool config ASN1 tristate help Build a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler that produces a bytecode output that can be interpreted by the ASN.1 stream decoder and used to inform it as to what tags are to be expected in a stream and what functions to call on what tags. source "kernel/Kconfig.locks"
