+ This option allows you to choose the algorithm which will be used to
+ compress modules when 'make modules_install' is run. (or, you can
+ choose to not compress modules at all.)
- Compresses kernel modules when 'make modules_install' is run; gzip or
- xz depending on "Compression algorithm" below.
+ External modules will also be compressed in the same way during the
+ installation.
- module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod MAY support gzip and xz.
+ For modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient to
+ compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
- Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be
- compressed upon installation.
+ This is fully compatible with signed modules.
- Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
- to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
+ Please note that the tool used to load modules needs to support the
+ corresponding algorithm. module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod
+ MAY support gzip, xz and zstd.
- Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.
+ Your build system needs to provide the appropriate compression tool
+ to compress the modules.
- If in doubt, say N.
+ If in doubt, select 'None'.
