Breno Leitao fad361a2ee netconsole: Enable compile time configuration 
Enable netconsole features to be set at compilation time. Create two
Kconfig options that allow users to set extended logs and release
prepending features at compilation time.

Right now, the user needs to pass command line parameters to netconsole,
such as "+"/"r" to enable extended logs and version prepending features.

With these two options, the user could set the default values for the
features at compile time, and don't need to pass it in the command line
to get them enabled, simplifying the command line.

bool "Network device support"
help
You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
any other computer at all.
You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as
AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
See also "The Linux Network Administrator's Guide" by Olaf Kirch and
Terry Dawson. Available at <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
If unsure, say Y.

Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet
Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco,
'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux.
The driver supports multiple bonding modes to allow for both high
performance and high availability operation.
Refer to <file:Documentation/networking/bonding.rst> for more
information.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called bonding.
config DUMMY
tristate "Dummy net driver support"
help
This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to
this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP
address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently
inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs.
If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. It won't
enlarge your kernel. What a deal. Read about it in the Network
Administrator's Guide, available from

WireGuard is a secure, fast, and easy to use replacement for IPSec
that uses modern cryptography and clever networking tricks. It's
designed to be fairly general purpose and abstract enough to fit most
use cases, while at the same time remaining extremely simple to
configure. See www.wireguard.com for more info.
It's safe to say Y or M here, as the driver is very lightweight and
is only in use when an administrator chooses to add an interface.
config WIREGUARD_DEBUG

help
This will write log messages for handshake and other events
that occur for a WireGuard interface. It will also perform some
extra validation checks and unit tests at various points. This is
only useful for debugging.
Say N here unless you know what you're doing.
config EQUALIZER
tristate "EQL (serial line load balancing) support"
help
If you have two serial connections to some other computer (this
usually requires two modems and two telephone lines) and you use
SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone
lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like
one double speed connection using this driver. Naturally, this has
to be supported at the other end as well, either with a similar EQL
Linux driver or with a Livingston Portmaster 2e.
Say Y if you want this and read
<file:Documentation/networking/eql.rst>. You may also want to read
section 6.2 of the NET-3-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called eql. If unsure, say N.

help
Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
intended to replace SCSI.

This allows one to create gtp virtual interfaces that provide
the GPRS Tunneling Protocol datapath (GTP-U). This tunneling protocol
is used to prevent subscribers from accessing mobile carrier core
network infrastructure. This driver requires a userspace software that
implements the signaling protocol (GTP-C) to update its PDP context
base, such as OpenGGSN <http://git.osmocom.org/openggsn/). This
tunneling protocol is implemented according to the GSM TS 09.60 and

TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
via physical media writes them to the user space program.
When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above
devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
all routes corresponding to it.
Please read <file:Documentation/networking/tuntap.rst> for more
