525 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
526 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
527 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
528 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
529 e.g. backtraces.
530
531 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
532 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
533 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
534 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
535 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
536 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
537
538 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
539 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

760 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

801 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access

1399 Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
1400 emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
1401 each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
1402 or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
1403 an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
1404 range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
1405 address encountered in the image.
1406
1407 On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
1408 but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
1409 time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
1410 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.
