875 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
876 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
877 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
878 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
879 e.g. backtraces.
880
881 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
882 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
883 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
884 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
885 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
886 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1362 The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the

1364 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1365 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
