config PROC_FS

	bool "/proc file system support" if EMBEDDED

	default y

	help

	  This is a virtual file system providing information about the status

	  of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on

	  your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when

	  you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older

	  version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.



	  It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives

	  information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment

	  (there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer

	  that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --

	  often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured

	  to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some

	  information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.



	  Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,

	  meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.

	  That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc

	  /proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.



	  The /proc file system is explained in the file

	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage

	  ("man 5 proc").



	  This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB. Several

	  programs depend on this, so everyone should say Y here.



config PROC_KCORE

	bool "/proc/kcore support" if !ARM

	depends on PROC_FS && MMU



config PROC_VMCORE

        bool "/proc/vmcore support (EXPERIMENTAL)"

        depends on PROC_FS && CRASH_DUMP

	default y

        help

        Exports the dump image of crashed kernel in ELF format.



config PROC_SYSCTL

	bool "Sysctl support (/proc/sys)" if EMBEDDED

	depends on PROC_FS

	select SYSCTL

	default y

	---help---

	  The sysctl interface provides a means of dynamically changing

	  certain kernel parameters and variables on the fly without requiring

	  a recompile of the kernel or reboot of the system.  The primary

	  interface is through /proc/sys.  If you say Y here a tree of

	  modifiable sysctl entries will be generated beneath the

          /proc/sys directory. They are explained in the files

	  in <file:Documentation/sysctl/>.  Note that enabling this

	  option will enlarge the kernel by at least 8 KB.



	  As it is generally a good thing, you should say Y here unless

	  building a kernel for install/rescue disks or your system is very

	  limited in memory.
