Alain Knaff30d65db2009-01-04 22:46:17 +0100123 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
124 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
125 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
126 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
127 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

836 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
837 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
838 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
839 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
840 e.g. backtraces.
841
842 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
843 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
844 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
845 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
846 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
847 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
848
849 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
850 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
851
852 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
853 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
854 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

1053 bool "PIDs controller"
1054 help
1055 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1056 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1057 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1058 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1059 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1060 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1061 PIDs cgroup subsystem is designed to stop this from happening.
1062
1063 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1064 to a cgroup hierarchy will *not* be blocked by the PIDs subsystem),
1065 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1066 attach to a cgroup.

1080 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1081 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1082 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1083 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1084 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1085 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1086 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1087 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1088 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1735 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1736 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1737 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.

1745 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1746 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1747 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1748 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1749 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1750 then the flag will be ignored.
1751
1752 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1753 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1754
1755 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1756 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1757 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1758 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1819 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1820 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1821 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1822 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1823 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1824 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1825 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1826 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1827 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1828
1829 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1830 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1831 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1832 this).
1833
