911 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

1213 help
1214 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

1217 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1218 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1219 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The

1246 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't

1248 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1249 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know

1412 The currently boosting strategy is implemented in such a way that:
1413 - a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by
1414 scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their
1415 workload demand
1416 - a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task
1417 performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
1418
1419 A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
1420 power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
1421 scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
1422 efficiency.
1423
1424 Since this support exposes a single system-wide knob, the specified
1425 boost value is applied to all (CFS) tasks in the system.

2110 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2111 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2112 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2113 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2114 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2115 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2116 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2117 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2118 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2119
2120 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2121 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2122 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2123 this).
2124
2125 If unsure, say Y.
