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.

372 dynticks systems. This accounting is implemented by watching every
373 kernel-user boundaries using the context tracking subsystem.
374 The accounting is thus performed at the expense of some significant

841 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
842 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
843 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
844 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
845 e.g. backtraces.
846
847 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
848 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
849 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
850 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
851 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
852 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
853
854 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
855 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
856
857 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
858 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
859 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

1049 The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
1050 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
1051 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
1052 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
1053 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
1054 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.

1063 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1064 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1065 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1066 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1067 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1068 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1069 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1070 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1756 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1757 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1758 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1759 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1760 then the flag will be ignored.

1762 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1763 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1764

1823 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1824 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1825 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1826 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1827 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1828 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1829 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1830 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1831 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1832
1833 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1834 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1835 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1836 this).
1837
