588 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
589 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
590 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
591 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
592 e.g. backtraces.
593
594 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
595 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
596 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
597 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
598 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
599 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
600
601 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
602 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

825 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

827 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
828 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

830 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The

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

1752 Per cpu partial caches accellerate objects allocation and freeing
1753 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1754 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1755 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.

1766 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1767 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1768 then the flag will be ignored.

1770 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1771 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

1773 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1774 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1775 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1776 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1827 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1828 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1829 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1830 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1831 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1832 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1833 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1834 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1835 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1836
1837 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1838 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1839 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1840 this).
