| 555 | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size |
| 556 | according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution |
| 557 | of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few |
| 558 | lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, |
| 559 | e.g. backtraces. |
| 560 | |
| 561 | The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and |
| 562 | the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems |
| 563 | with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of |
| 564 | contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring |
| 565 | buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set |
| 566 | so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation. |
| 567 | |
| 568 | Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is |
| 569 | used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer. |

| 836 | that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access |

| 1958 | help |
| 1959 | The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for |
| 1960 | other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending |
| 1961 | on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration, |
| 1962 | many of those exported symbols might never be used. |
| 1963 | |
| 1964 | This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from |
| 1965 | the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities |
| 1966 | (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing |
| 1967 | binary size. This might have some security advantages as well. |
