535 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
536 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
537 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
538 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
539 e.g. backtraces.
540
541 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
542 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
543 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
544 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
545 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
546 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
547
548 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
549 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1707 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
Denys Vlasenkof7f5b672008-07-22 19:24:26 -05001708 anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster
1709 and simpler. If unsure, say Y.

1715 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1716 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1717 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1718 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1724 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1725 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1726 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1727 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1728 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

1738 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1739 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1740 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1741 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1742 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1743 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1744 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
