6 menu "Linux Module Utilities"
12 insmod is used to load specified modules in the running kernel.
14 config CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
15 bool " Support version 2.2.x to 2.4.x Linux kernels"
17 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
19 Support module loading for 2.2.x and 2.4.x Linux kernels.
21 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_VERSION_CHECKING
22 bool " Module version checking"
24 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
26 Support checking of versions for modules. This is used to
27 ensure that the kernel and module are made for each other.
29 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_KSYMOOPS_SYMBOLS
30 bool " Add module symbols to kernel symbol table"
32 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
34 By adding module symbols to the kernel symbol table, Oops messages
35 occuring within kernel modules can be properly debugged. By enabling
36 this feature, module symbols will always be added to the kernel symbol
37 table for properly debugging support. If you are not interested in
38 Oops messages from kernel modules, say N.
40 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOADINKMEM
41 bool " In kernel memory optimization (uClinux only)"
43 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
45 This is a special uClinux only memory optimization that lets insmod
46 load the specified kernel module directly into kernel space, reducing
47 memory usage by preventing the need for two copies of the module
48 being loaded into memory.
50 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
51 bool " Enable load map (-m) option"
53 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
55 Enabling this, one would be able to get a load map
56 output on stdout. This makes kernel module debugging
58 If you don't plan to debug kernel modules, you
59 don't need this option.
61 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP_FULL
62 bool " Symbols in load map"
64 depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
66 Without this option, -m will only output section
67 load map. With this option, -m will also output
74 lsmod is used to display a list of loaded modules.
76 config CONFIG_FEATURE_2_6_MODULES
77 bool " Support version 2.6.x Linux kernels"
79 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD || CONFIG_LSMOD
81 Support module loading for newer 2.6.x Linux kernels.
83 config CONFIG_FEATURE_QUERY_MODULE_INTERFACE
86 depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES && !CONFIG_FEATURE_2_6_MODULES
88 config CONFIG_MODPROBE
92 Handle the loading of modules, and their dependancies on a high
99 rmmod is used to unload specified modules from the kernel.
101 config CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE
102 bool "Support tainted module checking with new kernels"
104 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD || CONFIG_LSMOD
106 Support checking for tainted modules. These are usually binary
107 only modules that will make the linux-kernel list ignore your
109 This option is required to support GPLONLY modules.
