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.

723 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
724 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
725 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
726 asymmetric multiprocessors.

728 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
729 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800730 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
731 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
732 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
733 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
734 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
735 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
736 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

860 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
861 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
862 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
863 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
864 e.g. backtraces.
865
866 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
867 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
868 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
869 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
870 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
871 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
872
873 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
874 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
875
876 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
877 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
878 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

881 17 => 128 KB for each CPU
882 16 => 64 KB for each CPU
883 15 => 32 KB for each CPU

1055 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1056 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1057 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1058 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1059 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1060 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1061 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1062 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1697 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1698 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1699 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1700 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently

1730 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1731 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1732 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1733 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1734 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1735 then the flag will be ignored.
1736
1737 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1738 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1739
1740 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1741 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1742 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1743 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1798 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1799 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1800 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1801 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1802 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1803 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1804 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1805 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1806 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1807
1808 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1809 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1810 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1811 this).
1812
