12 insmod is used to load specified modules in the running kernel.
14 config CONFIG_FEATURE_2_2_MODULES
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 config CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES
22 bool " Support version 2.1.x to 2.4.x Linux kernels"
24 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
26 Support module loading for newer (post 2.1) Linux kernels.
28 config CONFIG_FEATURE_2_6_MODULES
29 bool " Support version 2.6.x Linux kernels"
31 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD
33 Support module loading for newer (post 2.1) Linux kernels.
35 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_VERSION_CHECKING
36 bool " Module version checking"
38 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && ( CONFIG_FEATURE_2_2_MODULES || CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES )
40 Support checking of versions for modules. This is used to
41 ensure that the kernel and module are made for each other.
43 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_KSYMOOPS_SYMBOLS
44 bool " Add module symbols to kernel symbol table"
46 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && ( CONFIG_FEATURE_2_2_MODULES || CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES )
48 By adding module symbols to the kernel symbol table, Oops messages
49 occuring within kernel modules can be properly debugged. By enabling
50 this feature, module symbols will always be added to the kernel symbol
51 table for properly debugging support. If you are not interested in
52 Oops messages from kernel modules, say N.
54 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOADINKMEM
55 bool " In kernel memory optimization (uClinux only)"
57 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && ( CONFIG_FEATURE_2_2_MODULES || CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES )
59 This is a special uClinux only memory optimization that lets insmod
60 load the specified kernel module directly into kernel space, reducing
61 memory usage by preventing the need for two copies of the module
62 being loaded into memory.
64 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
65 bool " Enable load map (-m) option"
67 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD && ( CONFIG_FEATURE_2_2_MODULES || CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES )
69 Enabling this, one would be able to get a load map
70 output on stdout. This makes kernel module debugging
72 If you don't plan to debug kernel modules, you
73 don't need this option.
75 config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP_FULL
76 bool " Symbols in load map"
78 depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_INSMOD_LOAD_MAP
80 Without this option, -m will only output section
81 load map. With this option, -m will also output
88 lsmod is used to display a list of loaded modules.
90 config CONFIG_FEATURE_QUERY_MODULE_INTERFACE
91 bool " Support lsmod query_module interface (add 638 bytes)"
93 depends on CONFIG_LSMOD && ( CONFIG_FEATURE_2_4_MODULES || CONFIG_FEATURE_2_6_MODULES )
95 This will provide some extra information about each module when
96 running lsmod. The fields provided are address, size, flags and
99 config CONFIG_MODPROBE
103 Handle the loading of modules, and their dependancies on a high
110 rmmod is used to unload specified modules from the kernel.
112 config CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_TAINTED_MODULE
113 bool "Support tainted module checking with new kernels"
115 depends on CONFIG_INSMOD || CONFIG_LSMOD
117 Support checking for tainted modules. These are usually binary
118 only modules that will make the linux-kernel list ignore your
120 This option is required to support GPLONLY modules.
