910 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

913 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
914 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
915 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
916 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring

1405 This option enables the system-wide support for task boosting.
1406 When this support is enabled a new sysctl interface is exposed to
1407 userspace via:
1408 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost
1409 which allows to set a system-wide boost value in range [0..100].
1410
1411 The currently boosting strategy is implemented in such a way that:
1412 - a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by
1413 scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their
1414 workload demand
1415 - a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task
1416 performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
1417
1418 A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
1419 power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
1420 scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
1421 efficiency.
1422
1423 Since this support exposes a single system-wide knob, the specified
1424 boost value is applied to all (CFS) tasks in the system.
1425

2099 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2100 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2101 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2102 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2103 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2104 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2105 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2106 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2107 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2108
2109 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2110 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2111 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2112 this).
2113
2114 If unsure, say Y.
