602 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
603 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
604 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
605 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
606 e.g. backtraces.
607
608 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
609 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
610 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
611 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
612 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
613 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
614
615 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

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

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

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

881 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't

883 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
884 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
885 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The

1045 This option enables support for task classification using a new
1046 cgroup controller, schedtune. Schedtune allows tasks to be given
1047 a boost value and marked as latency-sensitive or not. This option
1048 provides the "schedtune" controller.
1049
1050 This new controller:
1051 1. allows only a two layers hierarchy, where the root defines the
1052 system-wide boost value and its direct childrens define each one a
1053 different "class of tasks" to be boosted with a different value
1054 2. supports up to 16 different task classes, each one which could be
1055 configured with a different boost value
1056
1057 Latency-sensitive tasks are not subject to energy-aware wakeup
1058 task placement. The boost value assigned to tasks is used to
1059 influence task placement and CPU frequency selection (if
1060 utilization-driven frequency selection is in use).

1841 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1842 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1843 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1844 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1845 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1846 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1847 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1848 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1849 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1850
1851 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1852 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1853 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1854 this).
