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.

130 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

721 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
722 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800723 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
724 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
725 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
726 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
727 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
728 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
729 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

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.
855
856 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
857 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
858 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

1033 The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
1034 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
1035 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
1036 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
1037 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
1038 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.

1053 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1054 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1055 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1056 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1057 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1058 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1059 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1060 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1712 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1713 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1714 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1715 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1716 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1717 then the flag will be ignored.
1718
1719 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1720 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1721
1722 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1723 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1724 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1725 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1780 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1781 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1782 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1783 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1784 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1785 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1786 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1787 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1788 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1789
1790 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1791 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1792 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1793 this).
1794
