menu "General setup"

config EXPERIMENTAL
	bool "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
	---help---
	  Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
	  drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
	  of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
	  testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
	  known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
	  currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
	  uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
	  avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
	  testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
	  may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
	  in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
	  with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
	  (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
	  <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
	  <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
	  <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).

	  This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
	  scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.

	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

config BROKEN
	bool

config BROKEN_ON_SMP
	bool
	depends on BROKEN || !SMP

config LOCK_KERNEL
	bool

config INIT_ENV_ARG_LIMIT
	int
	default 32 if !UML
	default 128 if UML
	help
	  Maximum of each of the number of arguments and environment
	  variables passed to init from the kernel command line.


config LOCALVERSION
	string "Local version - append to kernel release"
	help
	  Append an extra string to the end of your kernel version.
	  This will show up when you type uname, for example.
	  The string you set here will be appended after the contents of
	  any files with a filename matching localversion* in your
	  object and source tree, in that order.  Your total string can
	  be a maximum of 64 characters.

config LOCALVERSION_AUTO
	bool "Automatically append version information to the version string"
	default y
	help
	  This will try to automatically determine if the current tree is a
	  release tree by looking for git tags that belong to the current
	  top of tree revision.

	  A string of the format -gxxxxxxxx will be added to the localversion
	  if a git-based tree is found.  The string generated by this will be
	  appended after any matching localversion* files, and after the value
	  set in CONFIG_LOCALVERSION.

	  (The actual string used here is the first eight characters produced
	  by running the command:

	    $ git rev-parse --verify HEAD

	  which is done within the script "scripts/setlocalversion".)

config SWAP
	bool "Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)"
	depends on MMU && BLOCK
	default y
	help
	  This option allows you to choose whether you want to have support
	  for so called swap devices or swap files in your kernel that are
	  used to provide more virtual memory than the actual RAM present
	  in your computer.  If unsure say Y.

config SYSVIPC
	bool "System V IPC"
	---help---
	  Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
	  system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
	  exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
	  and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
	  you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
	  DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
	  you'll need to say Y here.

	  You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in
	  section 6.4 of the Linux Programmer's Guide, available from
	  <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.

config SYSVIPC_SYSCTL
	bool
	depends on SYSVIPC
	depends on SYSCTL
	default y

config POSIX_MQUEUE
	bool "POSIX Message Queues"
	depends on NET && EXPERIMENTAL
	---help---
	  POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
	  queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
	  of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
	  programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
	  queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.

	  POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
	  and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
	  operations on message queues.

	  If unsure, say Y.

config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
	bool "BSD Process Accounting"
	help
	  If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
	  kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
	  information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
	  that process will be appended to the file by the kernel.  The
	  information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
	  command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
	  list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>).  It is
	  up to the user level program to do useful things with this
	  information.  This is generally a good idea, so say Y.

config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
	bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
	depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
	default n
	help
	  If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
	  in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each

config CLASSIC_RCU
	bool "Classic RCU"

	  This option selects the classic RCU implementation that is
	  designed for best read-side performance on non-realtime
	  systems.

	  Select this option if you are unsure.

config TREE_RCU

	  This option selects the RCU implementation that is
	  designed for very large SMP system with hundreds or
	  thousands of CPUs.

config PREEMPT_RCU
	bool "Preemptible RCU"
	depends on PREEMPT
	help
	  This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making certain
	  RCU sections preemptible. Normally RCU code is non-preemptible, if
	  this option is selected then read-only RCU sections become
	  preemptible. This helps latency, but may expose bugs due to
	  now-naive assumptions about each RCU read-side critical section
	  remaining on a given CPU through its execution.

config RCU_TRACE
	bool "Enable tracing for RCU"
	depends on TREE_RCU || PREEMPT_RCU
	help
	  This option provides tracing in RCU which presents stats
	  in debugfs for debugging RCU implementation.

	  Say Y here if you want to enable RCU tracing
	  Say N if you are unsure.

	help
	  This option controls the fanout of hierarchical implementations
	  of RCU, allowing RCU to work efficiently on machines with
	  large numbers of CPUs.  This value must be at least the cube
	  root of NR_CPUS, which allows NR_CPUS up to 32,768 for 32-bit
	  systems and up to 262,144 for 64-bit systems.

	  Select a specific number if testing RCU itself.
	  Take the default if unsure.

config RCU_FANOUT_EXACT
	bool "Disable tree-based hierarchical RCU auto-balancing"
	depends on TREE_RCU
	default n
	help
	  This option forces use of the exact RCU_FANOUT value specified,
	  regardless of imbalances in the hierarchy.  This is useful for
	  testing RCU itself, and might one day be useful on systems with
	  strong NUMA behavior.

	  Without RCU_FANOUT_EXACT, the code will balance the hierarchy.

	  Say N if unsure.

config TREE_RCU_TRACE
	def_bool RCU_TRACE && TREE_RCU

	  This option provides tracing for the TREE_RCU implementation,

	  This option provides tracing for the PREEMPT_RCU implementation,
