714 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered

Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800719 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to

723 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
724 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used

850 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

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

1079 help
1080 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1081 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1082 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1083 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1084 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1085 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +05301086 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -05001087
1088 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +05301089 to a cgroup hierarchy will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller),
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -05001090 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to

1110 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1111 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1112 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1113 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1114 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1115 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1116 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1117 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means

1722 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1723 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
Thomas Gleixner0793a612008-12-04 20:12:29 +01001724 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1725 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1726 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1727 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1728 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

Rusty Russellb6c09b52015-06-16 12:16:22 +09302074 Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
2075 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.

2100 bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
2101 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2102 help
2103 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2104 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2105 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2106 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2107
2108 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2109 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2110 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2111 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
