851 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

853 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
854 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
855 e.g. backtraces.
856
857 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
858 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
859 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
860 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
861 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
862 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1156 help
1157 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

1159 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1160 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

1162 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
