555 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
556 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
557 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
558 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
559 e.g. backtraces.
560
561 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
562 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
563 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
564 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
565 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
566 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
567
568 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
569 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

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

1793 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1794 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1795 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1796 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1797 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1798 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1799 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1800 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1801 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1802
1803 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1804 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1805 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1806 this).
1807
