351 Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
352 accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
353 kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
354 between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
355 small performance impact. In the case of s390 or IBM POWER > 5,

526 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
527 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
528 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
529 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
530 e.g. backtraces.
531
532 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
533 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
534 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
535 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
536 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
537 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
538
539 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
540 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

687 Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
688 cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling
689 policies.

Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -0500691 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
692 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
693 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
694 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.

Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -0500696 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
697 One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For
698 enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set
699 CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y; for enabling throttling policy, set
700 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.

758 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
759 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
760 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
761 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
762 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
763 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +0530764 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.

Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +0530767 to a cgroup hierarchy will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller),
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -0500768 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to

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

1738 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1739 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1740 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1741 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1742 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1743 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1744 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1865 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for

1868 many of those exported symbols might never be used.

1870 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
1871 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
1872 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
1873 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
