349 Select this option to enable task and CPU time accounting on full
350 dynticks systems. This accounting is implemented by watching every
351 kernel-user boundaries using the context tracking subsystem.
352 The accounting is thus performed at the expense of some significant

355 For now this is only useful if you are working on the full

510 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
511 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
512 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
513 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
514 e.g. backtraces.
515
516 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
517 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
518 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
519 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
520 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
521 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
522
523 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
524 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1708 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

1710 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
