614 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
615 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
616 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
617 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
618 e.g. backtraces.
619
620 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
621 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
622 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
623 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
624 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
625 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
626
627 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

1059 a boost value and marked as latency-sensitive or not. This option
1060 provides the "schedtune" controller.
1061
1062 This new controller:
1063 1. allows only a two layers hierarchy, where the root defines the
1064 system-wide boost value and its direct childrens define each one a
1065 different "class of tasks" to be boosted with a different value
1066 2. supports up to 16 different task classes, each one which could be
1067 configured with a different boost value
1068
1069 Latency-sensitive tasks are not subject to energy-aware wakeup

1071 influence task placement and CPU frequency selection (if

1742 bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
1743 default y
1744 help
1745 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1746 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1747 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1748 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1749 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1750 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1751 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1752 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1753 command line.

1853 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

1855 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1856 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1857 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1858 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1859 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1860 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1861 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1862
1863 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1864 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1865 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1866 this).
