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.

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

1041 The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
1042 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
1043 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
1044 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
1045 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
1046 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.

Vladimir Davydov2ee06462014-06-04 16:07:28 -07001048 WARNING: Current implementation lacks reclaim support. That means
1049 allocation attempts will fail when close to the limit even if there
1050 are plenty of kmem available for reclaim. That makes this option

1059 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1060 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1061 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1062 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1063 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1064 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1065 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1066 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1067 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1701 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1702 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

1704 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1705 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1706 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1707 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1762 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1763 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1764 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1765 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1766 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1767 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1768 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1769 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1770 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1771
1772 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1773 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1774 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1775 this).
1776
1777 If unsure, say Y.
