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.

715 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
716 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
717 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
718 asymmetric multiprocessors.
719
720 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
721 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800722 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
723 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
724 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
725 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
726 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
727 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
728 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

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

872 Examples shift values and their meaning:
873 17 => 128 KB for each CPU
874 16 => 64 KB for each CPU
875 15 => 32 KB for each CPU

1034 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
1035 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard

1046 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1047 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1048 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1049 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1050 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1051 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1052 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1053 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1054 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1689 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1690 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1691 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1692 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently

1722 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1723 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1724 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1725 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1726 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1727 then the flag will be ignored.
1728
1729 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1730 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1731
1732 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1733 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1734 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1735 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1790 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1791 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1792 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1793 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1794 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1795 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1796 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1797 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1798 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1799
1800 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1801 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1802 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1803 this).
1804
