570 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
571 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
572 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
573 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
574 e.g. backtraces.
575
576 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
577 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
578 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
579 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
580 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
581 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
582
583 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
584 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1402 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1403 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1404 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1405 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,

1744 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1745 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1746 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.

1757 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1758 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,

1761 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1762 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1763
1764 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1765 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1766 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1767 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1818 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1819 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1820 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1821 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1822 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1823 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1824 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1825 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1826 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1827
1828 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1829 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1830 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1831 this).
