648 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
649 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
650 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
651 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
652 e.g. backtraces.
653
654 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
655 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
656 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
657 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
658 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
659 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1801 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to

1804 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits

Rusty Russell5f054e32012-03-29 15:38:31 +10302117 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
2118 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
Rusty Russell98a79d62008-12-13 21:19:41 +10302119 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
2120 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
Matt LaPlante692105b2009-01-26 11:12:25 +01002121 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.

2135 Build a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler that produces a bytecode output
2136 that can be interpreted by the ASN.1 stream decoder and used to
2137 inform it as to what tags are to be expected in a stream and what
2138 functions to call on what tags.
