563 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
564 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
565 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
566 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
567 e.g. backtraces.
568
569 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
570 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
571 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
572 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
573 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
574 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
575
576 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
577 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1779 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1780 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1781 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1782 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1783 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1784 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1785 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1786 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1787 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1788
1789 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1790 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1791 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1792 this).
1793
