365 accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
366 kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel

536 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
537 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
538 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
539 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
540 e.g. backtraces.
541
542 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
543 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
544 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
545 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
546 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
547 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
548
549 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
550 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

771 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

1725 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1726 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1727 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1728 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1735 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules

1749 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1750 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
