12 insmod is used to load specified modules in the running kernel.
14 config CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE
15 bool " Support older (pre 2.1) Linux kernels"
17 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
19 Provide insmod support for older (pre 2.1) Linux kernels.
21 if CONFIG_INSMOD && !CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE
22 config CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE
24 comment " Support new (post 2.1) Linux kernels (Forced enabled)"
27 if CONFIG_FEATURE_OLD_MODULE_INTERFACE
28 config CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE
29 bool " Support new (post 2.1) Linux kernels"
31 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
33 Support module loading for newer (post 2.1) Linux kernels.
36 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_VERSION_CHECKING
37 bool " Module version checking"
39 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
41 Support checking of versions for modules. This is used to
42 ensure that the kernel and module are made for each other.
44 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_KSYMOOPS_SYMBOLS
45 bool " Add module symbols to kernel symbol table"
47 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
49 By adding module symbols to the kernel symbol table, Oops messages
50 occuring within kernel modules can be properly debugged. By enabling
51 this feature, module symbols will always be added to the kernel symbol
52 table for properly debugging support. If you are not interested in
53 Oops messages from kernel modules, say N.
55 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOADINKMEM
56 bool " In kernel memory optimization (uClinux only)"
58 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
60 This is a special uClinux only memory optimization that lets insmod
61 load the specified kernel module directly into kernel space, reducing
62 memory usage by preventing the need for two copies of the module
63 being loaded into memory.
65 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
66 bool " Enable load map (-m) option"
68 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
70 Enabling this, one would be able to get a load map
71 output on stdout. This makes kernel module debugging
73 If you don't plan to debug kernel modules, you
74 don't need this option.
76 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP_FULL
77 bool " Symbols in load map"
79 depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
81 Without this option, -m will only output section
83 With this option, -m will also output symbols
90 lsmod is used to display a list of loaded modules.
92 config CONFIG_FEATURE_QUERY_MODULE_INTERFACE
93 bool " Support lsmod query_module interface (add 638 bytes)"
95 depends on CONFIG_LSMOD && CONFIG_FEATURE_NEW_MODULE_INTERFACE
97 This will provide some extra information about each module when
98 running lsmod. The fields provided are address, size, flags and
101 config CONFIG_MODPROBE
105 Handle the loading of modules, and their dependancies on a high
112 rmmod is used to unload specified modules from the kernel.
114 config CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE
115 bool "Support tainted module checking with new kernels"
117 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD || CONFIG_LSMOD
119 Support checking for tainted modules. These are usually binary
120 only modules that will make the linux-kernel list ignore your
