560 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
561 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
562 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
563 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
564 e.g. backtraces.
565
566 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
567 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
568 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
569 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
570 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
571 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
572
573 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
574 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1776 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1777 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1778 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1779 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1780 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1781 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1782 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1783 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1784 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1785
1786 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1787 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1788 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1789 this).
