584 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
585 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
586 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
587 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
588 e.g. backtraces.
589
590 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
591 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
592 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
593 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
594 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
595 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
596
597 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

820 help
821 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
822 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
823 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
824 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
825 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
826 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +0530827 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.

Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +0530830 to a cgroup hierarchy will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller),
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -0500831 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to

862 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
863 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
864 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
865 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
866 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
867 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
868 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means

1037 This option enables support for task classification using a new
1038 cgroup controller, schedtune. Schedtune allows tasks to be given
1039 a boost value and marked as latency-sensitive or not. This option
1040 provides the "schedtune" controller.
1041
1042 This new controller:
1043 1. allows only a two layers hierarchy, where the root defines the
1044 system-wide boost value and its direct childrens define each one a
1045 different "class of tasks" to be boosted with a different value
1046 2. supports up to 16 different task classes, each one which could be
1047 configured with a different boost value
1048
1049 Latency-sensitive tasks are not subject to energy-aware wakeup
1050 task placement. The boost value assigned to tasks is used to
1051 influence task placement and CPU frequency selection (if
1052 utilization-driven frequency selection is in use).

1842 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1843 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1844 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1845 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1846 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1847 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1848 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1849 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1850 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1851
1852 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1853 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1854 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1855 this).
