518 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
519 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
520 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
521 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
522 e.g. backtraces.
523
524 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
525 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
526 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
527 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
528 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
529 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
530
531 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
532 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -0500683 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
684 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
685 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
686 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.

Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -0500688 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.

753 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

791 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
792 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
793 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
794 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
795 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know

1035 This requires that the arch annotates or otherwise protects
1036 its external entry points from being discarded. Linker scripts
1037 must also merge .text.*, .data.*, and .bss.* correctly into
1038 output sections. Care must be taken not to pull in unrelated

1052 This can reduce on disk and in-memory size of the kernel
1053 code and static data, particularly for small configs and
1054 on small systems. This has the possibility of introducing
1055 silently broken kernel if the required annotations are not
1056 present. This option is not well tested yet, so use at your
1057 own risk.

1716 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

1733 is usually a really bad idea.

1747 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1748 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1749 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1750 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1756 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1757 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1758 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1759 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1760 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

1770 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1771 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1772 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1773 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1774 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1775 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1776 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
