579 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
580 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
581 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
582 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
583 e.g. backtraces.
584
585 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
586 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
587 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
588 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
589 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
590 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
591
592 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
593 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

858 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't

860 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
861 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know

1413 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1414 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1415 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,

1743 Per cpu partial caches accellerate objects allocation and freeing
1744 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1745 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1746 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.

1758 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,

1761 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1762 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1763
1764 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1765 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in

1818 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1819 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1820 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1821 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1822 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1823 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1824 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1825 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1826 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1827
1828 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1829 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1830 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1831 this).
