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.

724 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
725 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
726 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
727 asymmetric multiprocessors.
728
729 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
730 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800731 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
732 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
733 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
734 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
735 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
736 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
737 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

848 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
849 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
850 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
851 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
852 e.g. backtraces.
853
854 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
855 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
856 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
857 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
858 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
859 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
860
861 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
862 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
863
864 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
865 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
866 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

868 Examples shift values and their meaning:

870 16 => 64 KB for each CPU
871 15 => 32 KB for each CPU

1049 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1050 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1051 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1052 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1053 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1054 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1055 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1056 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1725 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1726 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1727 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1728 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1729 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1730 then the flag will be ignored.
1731
1732 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1733 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1734
1735 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1736 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1737 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1738 it is normally safe to say Y here.

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
