599 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
600 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
601 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
602 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
603 e.g. backtraces.
604
605 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
606 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
607 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
608 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
609 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
610 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
611
612 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

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

1039 bool "Boosting for CFS tasks (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1040 depends on SMP
1041 help
1042 This option enables support for task classification using a new
1043 cgroup controller, schedtune. Schedtune allows tasks to be given
1044 a boost value and marked as latency-sensitive or not. This option
1045 provides the "schedtune" controller.
1046
1047 This new controller:
1048 1. allows only a two layers hierarchy, where the root defines the
1049 system-wide boost value and its direct childrens define each one a
1050 different "class of tasks" to be boosted with a different value
1051 2. supports up to 16 different task classes, each one which could be
1052 configured with a different boost value
1053
1054 Latency-sensitive tasks are not subject to energy-aware wakeup
1055 task placement. The boost value assigned to tasks is used to
1056 influence task placement and CPU frequency selection (if
1057 utilization-driven frequency selection is in use).

1838 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1839 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1840 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1841 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1842 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1843 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1844 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1845 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1846 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1847
1848 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1849 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1850 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1851 this).
