CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL: Source checksum for all modules

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL has multiple definitions:

Source checksum for all modules found in kernel/module/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL:

• prompt: Source checksum for all modules
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in kernel/module/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.0–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD

Help text

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