867 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
868 e.g. backtraces.

870 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
871 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
872 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
873 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
874 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
875 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

2085 this).
