615 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

618 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
619 e.g. backtraces.
620
621 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
622 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
623 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
624 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
625 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
626 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1060 a boost value and marked as latency-sensitive or not. This option
1061 provides the "schedtune" controller.
1062
1063 This new controller:
1064 1. allows only a two layers hierarchy, where the root defines the
1065 system-wide boost value and its direct childrens define each one a
1066 different "class of tasks" to be boosted with a different value
1067 2. supports up to 16 different task classes, each one which could be
1068 configured with a different boost value
1069
1070 Latency-sensitive tasks are not subject to energy-aware wakeup

1072 influence task placement and CPU frequency selection (if

1743 bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
1744 default y
1745 help
1746 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1747 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1748 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1749 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1750 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1751 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1752 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1753 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1754 command line.

1856 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1857 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,

1862 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1863
1864 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1865 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/

1867 this).
