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

1409 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported

1753 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1754 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1755 then the flag will be ignored.

1757 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1758 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1759
1760 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1761 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1762 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1763 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1814 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1815 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1816 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1817 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1818 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1819 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1820 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1821 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1822 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1823
1824 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1825 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1826 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1827 this).
