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_2_6_MODULES
22 bool " Support version 2.6.x Linux kernels"
24 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
26 Support module loading for newer 2.6.x Linux kernels.
28 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_VERSION_CHECKING
29 bool " Module version checking"
31 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
33 Support checking of versions for modules. This is used to
34 ensure that the kernel and module are made for each other.
36 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_KSYMOOPS_SYMBOLS
37 bool " Add module symbols to kernel symbol table"
39 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
41 By adding module symbols to the kernel symbol table, Oops messages
42 occuring within kernel modules can be properly debugged. By enabling
43 this feature, module symbols will always be added to the kernel symbol
44 table for properly debugging support. If you are not interested in
45 Oops messages from kernel modules, say N.
47 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOADINKMEM
48 bool " In kernel memory optimization (uClinux only)"
50 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
52 This is a special uClinux only memory optimization that lets insmod
53 load the specified kernel module directly into kernel space, reducing
54 memory usage by preventing the need for two copies of the module
55 being loaded into memory.
57 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
58 bool " Enable load map (-m) option"
60 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
62 Enabling this, one would be able to get a load map
63 output on stdout. This makes kernel module debugging
65 If you don't plan to debug kernel modules, you
66 don't need this option.
68 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP_FULL
69 bool " Symbols in load map"
71 depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
73 Without this option, -m will only output section
74 load map. With this option, -m will also output
81 lsmod is used to display a list of loaded modules.
83 config CONFIG_FEATURE_LSMOD_PRETTY_2_6_OUTPUT
84 bool " lsmod pretty output for 2.6.x Linux kernels "
86 depends on CONFIG_LSMOD
88 This option makes output format of lsmod adjusted to
89 the format of module-init-tools for Linux kernel 2.6.
91 config CONFIG_FEATURE_QUERY_MODULE_INTERFACE
94 depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES && !CONFIG_FEATURE_2_6_MODULES
96 config CONFIG_MODPROBE
100 Handle the loading of modules, and their dependancies on a high
103 Note that, in the state it is, modprobe can pass only one option
104 to the modules it loads. See option below.
106 config CONFIG_MODPROBE_MULTIPLE_OPTIONS
107 bool "Multiple options parsing"
109 depends on CONFIG_MODPROBE
111 Allow modprobe to understand more than one option to pass to
114 This is a WIP, while waiting for a common argument parsing
115 common amongst all BB applets (shell, modprobe, etc...) and
116 adds around 600 bytes on x86, 700 bytes on ARM. The code is
117 biggish and uggly, but just works.
119 Saying Y here is not a bad idea if you're not that short
126 rmmod is used to unload specified modules from the kernel.
128 config CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE
129 bool "Support tainted module checking with new kernels"
131 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD || CONFIG_LSMOD
133 Support checking for tainted modules. These are usually binary
134 only modules that will make the linux-kernel list ignore your
136 This option is required to support GPLONLY modules.
