| 851 | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size |
| 852 | according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution |
| 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. |
| 863 | |
| 864 | Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is |
| 865 | used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer. |

| 1393 | This option enables the system-wide support for task boosting. |
| 1394 | When this support is enabled a new sysctl interface is exposed to |
| 1395 | userspace via: |
| 1396 | /proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost |
| 1397 | which allows to set a system-wide boost value in range [0..100]. |
| 1398 | |
| 1399 | The currently boosting strategy is implemented in such a way that: |
| 1400 | - a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by |
| 1401 | scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their |
| 1402 | workload demand |
| 1403 | - a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task |
| 1404 | performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption |
| 1405 | |
| 1406 | A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the |
| 1407 | power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the |
| 1408 | scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy |
| 1409 | efficiency. |
| 1410 | |

| 1412 | boost value is applied to all (CFS) tasks in the system. |

| 2261 | The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for |

| 2266 | This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from |
| 2267 | the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities |
| 2268 | (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing |
| 2269 | binary size. This might have some security advantages as well. |
