Alain Knaff30d65db2009-01-04 22:46:17 +0100123 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
124 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
125 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
126 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
127 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

836 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
837 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
838 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
839 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
840 e.g. backtraces.
841
842 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
843 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
844 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
845 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
846 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
847 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
848
849 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
850 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
851
852 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
853 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
854 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

858 16 => 64 KB for each CPU

1056 bool "PIDs controller"
1057 help
1058 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1059 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1060 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1061 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1062 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1063 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1064 PIDs cgroup subsystem is designed to stop this from happening.
1065
1066 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1067 to a cgroup hierarchy will *not* be blocked by the PIDs subsystem),
1068 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1069 attach to a cgroup.

1088 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1089 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1090 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1091 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1092 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1093 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1094 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1095 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1096 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1720 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1721 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1722 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1723 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
Simon Arlott02f56212008-11-05 22:18:19 +00001724 and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for
1725 a slab allocator.

1743 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1744 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared

1753 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1754 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1755 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1756 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1757 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1758 then the flag will be ignored.
1759
1760 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1761 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1762
1763 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1764 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1765 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1766 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).
1841
