851 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

853 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
854 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
855 e.g. backtraces.
856
857 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
858 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
859 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
860 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
861 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
862 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1174 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

1177 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

1179 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The

1407 The currently boosting strategy is implemented in such a way that:
1408 - a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by
1409 scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their
1410 workload demand
1411 - a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task
1412 performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
1413
1414 A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
1415 power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
1416 scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
1417 efficiency.
1418
1419 Since this support exposes a single system-wide knob, the specified
1420 boost value is applied to all (CFS) tasks in the system.

2084 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2085 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2086 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2087 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2088 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2089 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2090 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2091 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2092 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2093
2094 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2095 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2096 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2097 this).
2098
2099 If unsure, say Y.

2132 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
