127 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

1704 bool "Forced module unloading"
Kees Cook19c92392012-10-02 11:19:29 -07001705 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001706 help
1707 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1708 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1709 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1710 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
1711 If unsure, say N.

1716 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1717 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1718 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1719 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1720 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1721 unsure, say N.

1726 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1727 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1728 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1729 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1730 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1731 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1732 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

David Howellsea0b6dc2012-09-26 10:09:50 +01001751 !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the
1752 module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the
1753 debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and
1754 inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

1778 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1779 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1780 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1781 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
