703 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
704 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
705 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
706 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
707 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

765 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
766 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
767 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
768 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
769 e.g. backtraces.
770
771 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
772 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
773 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
774 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
775 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
776 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1037 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1038 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1039 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1040 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1041 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1042 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1043 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1044 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1045 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1890 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1891 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

1893 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make

2069 bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
2070 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2071 help
2072 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2073 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2074 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2075 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2076
2077 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2078 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2079 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2080 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.

Rusty Russell5f054e32012-03-29 15:38:31 +10302093 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
2094 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
