| 840 | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size |
| 841 | according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution |
| 842 | of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few |
| 843 | lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, |
| 844 | e.g. backtraces. |
| 845 | |
| 846 | The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and |
| 847 | the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems |
| 848 | with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of |
| 849 | contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring |
| 850 | buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set |
| 851 | so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation. |
| 852 | |
| 853 | Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is |
| 854 | used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer. |

| 1888 | Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can |
| 1889 | be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being |
| 1890 | permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe" |
| 1891 | tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here, |
| 1892 | many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by |
| 1893 | answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most |
| 1894 | useful for infrequently used options which are not required |
| 1895 | for booting. For more information, see the man pages for |
| 1896 | modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod. |
| 1897 | |
| 1898 | If you say Y here, you will need to run "make |
| 1899 | modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/ |
