config CONFIG_INSMOD
bool "insmod"
default n
help
insmod is used to load specified modules in the running kernel.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE
bool " Support older (pre 2.1) Linux kernels"
default n
depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
help
Provide insmod support for older (pre 2.1) Linux kernels.
if CONFIG_INSMOD && !CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE
config CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE
default y
comment " Support new (post 2.1) Linux kernels (Forced enabled)"
endif
if CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE
config CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE
bool " Support new (post 2.1) Linux kernels"
default y
depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
help
Support module loading for newer (post 2.1) Linux kernels.
endif
config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_VERSION_CHECKING
bool " Module version checking"
default n
depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
help
Support checking of versions for modules. This is used to
ensure that the kernel and module are made for each other.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_KSYMOOPS_SYMBOLS
bool " Add module symbols to kernel symbol table"
default n
depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
help
By adding module symbols to the kernel symbol table, Oops messages
occuring within kernel modules can be properly debugged. By enabling
this feature, module symbols will always be added to the kernel symbol
table for properly debugging support. If you are not interested in
Oops messages from kernel modules, say N.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOADINKMEM
bool " In kernel memory optimization (uClinux only)"
default n
depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
help
This is a special uClinux only memory optimization that lets insmod
load the specified kernel module directly into kernel space, reducing
memory usage by preventing the need for two copies of the module
being loaded into memory.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
bool " Enable load map (-m) option"
default n
depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
help
Enabling this, one would be able to get a load map
output on stdout. This makes kernel module debugging
easier.
If you don't plan to debug kernel modules, you
don't need this option.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP_FULL
bool " Symbols in load map"
default y
depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
help
Without this option, -m will only output section
load map.
With this option, -m will also output symbols
load map.
config CONFIG_LSMOD
bool "lsmod"
default n
help
lsmod is used to display a list of loaded modules.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_QUERY_MODULE_INTERFACE
bool " Support lsmod query_module interface (add 638 bytes)"
default y
depends on CONFIG_LSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE
help
This will provide some extra information about each module when
running lsmod. The fields provided are address, size, flags and
usage count.
config CONFIG_MODPROBE
bool "modprobe"
default n
help
Handle the loading of modules, and their dependancies on a high
level.
config CONFIG_RMMOD
bool "rmmod"
default n
help
rmmod is used to unload specified modules from the kernel.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE
bool "Support tainted module checking with new kernels"
default y
depends on CONFIG_INSMOD || CONFIG_LSMOD
help
Support checking for tainted modules. These are usually binary
only modules that will make the linux-kernel list ignore your
support request.
This option is required to support GPLONLY modules.
