CONFIG_BASIC_MODVERSIONS: Basic Module Versioning Support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_BASIC_MODVERSIONS:

• defined in kernel/module/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.14-rc+HEAD

Help text

This enables basic MODVERSIONS support, allowing older tools or kernels to potentially load modules.

Disabling this may cause older `modprobe` or `kmod` to be unable to read MODVERSIONS information from built modules. With this disabled, older kernels may treat this module as unversioned.

This is enabled by default when MODVERSIONS are enabled. If unsure, say Y.
