389 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
390 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
391 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
392 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
393 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
394 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is

1709 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1710 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1711 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1712 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1713 If unsure, say N.

1718 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1719 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1720 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1721 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1722 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1723 unsure, say N.

1728 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1729 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1730 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1731 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1732 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1733 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1734 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1753 module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the
1754 debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1755 inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

1779 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1780 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1781 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1782 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
