Alain Knaff30d65db2009-01-04 22:46:17 +0100136 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
137 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
138 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
139 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
140 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

143 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
144 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
145 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

363 accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each

538 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
539 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
540 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
541 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
542 e.g. backtraces.
543
544 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
545 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
546 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
547 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
548 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
549 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
550
551 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
552 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1747 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1748 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1749 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1750 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1751 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1752 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1753 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1754 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1755 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1756
1757 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1758 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1759 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1760 this).
1761
1762 If unsure, say Y.
