871 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
872 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
873 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
874 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
875 e.g. backtraces.
876
877 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
878 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
879 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
880 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
881 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
882 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
883
884 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

2028 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
2029 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
2030 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
2031 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
2032 If unsure, say N.

2037 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
2038 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
2039 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
2040 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
2041 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
2042 unsure, say N.

2051 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
2052 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
2053 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
2054 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
2055 others sometimes change the module source without updating
2056 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
2057 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

2178 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
