Alain Knaff30d65db2009-01-04 22:46:17 +0100123 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
124 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
125 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
126 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
127 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

836 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
837 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
838 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
839 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
840 e.g. backtraces.
841
842 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
843 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
844 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
845 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
846 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
847 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
848
849 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
850 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
851
852 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
853 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
854 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

856 Examples shift values and their meaning:
857 17 => 128 KB for each CPU
858 16 => 64 KB for each CPU

1032 The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
1033 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
1034 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
1035 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
1036 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
1037 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.

Vladimir Davydov2ee06462014-06-04 16:07:28 -07001039 WARNING: Current implementation lacks reclaim support. That means
1040 allocation attempts will fail when close to the limit even if there
1041 are plenty of kmem available for reclaim. That makes this option
1042 unusable in real life so DO NOT SELECT IT unless for development

1050 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1051 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1052 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1053 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1054 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1055 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1056 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1057 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1058 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1696 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1697 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1698 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1699 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1700 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1701 then the flag will be ignored.
1702
1703 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1704 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1705
1706 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1707 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1708 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1709 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1764 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1765 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1766 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1767 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1768 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1769 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1770 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1771 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1772 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1773
1774 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1775 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1776 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1777 this).
1778
