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

885 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
886 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
887 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring

1380 which allows to set a system-wide boost value in range [0..100].
1381

1383 - a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by
1384 scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their
1385 workload demand
1386 - a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task
1387 performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
1388
1389 A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
1390 power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the

2080 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2081 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2082 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2083 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2084 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2085 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2086 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2087 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2088 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2089
2090 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2091 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2092 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2093 this).
2094
2095 If unsure, say Y.
