Alain Knaff30d65db2009-01-04 22:46:17 +0100123 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
124 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
125 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
126 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
127 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

712 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
713 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
714 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
715 asymmetric multiprocessors.
716
717 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
718 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800719 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
720 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
721 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
722 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
723 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
724 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
725 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

849 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
850 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
851 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
852 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
853 e.g. backtraces.
854
855 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
856 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
857 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
858 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
859 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
860 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
861
862 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
863 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
864
865 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
866 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
867 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

1061 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1062 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1063 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1064 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1065 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1066 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1067 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1068 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1743 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1744 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1745 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1746 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1747 then the flag will be ignored.

1749 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1750 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

1810 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1811 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1812 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1813 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1814 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1815 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1816 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1817 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1818 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1819
1820 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1821 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1822 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1823 this).
1824
