710 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
711 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
712 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
713 asymmetric multiprocessors.
714
715 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
716 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800717 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
718 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
719 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
720 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
721 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
722 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
723 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

847 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
848 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
849 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
850 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
851 e.g. backtraces.
852
853 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
854 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
855 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
856 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
857 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
858 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1076 help
1077 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1078 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1079 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1080 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1081 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1082 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +05301083 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -05001084
1085 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +05301086 to a cgroup hierarchy will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller),
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -05001087 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1088 attach to a cgroup.

1107 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1108 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1109 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1110 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1111 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1112 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1113 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The

2054 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.

2079 bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
2080 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2081 help
2082 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2083 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2084 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2085 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2086
2087 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2088 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2089 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2090 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
