712 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
713 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
714 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
715 asymmetric multiprocessors.
716
717 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
718 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800719 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
720 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
721 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
722 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
723 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
724 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
725 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

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.

1067 help
1068 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1069 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1070 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1071 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1072 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1073 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +05301074 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -05001075
1076 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +05301077 to a cgroup hierarchy will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller),
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -05001078 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to

1098 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1099 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1100 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1101 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1102 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1103 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1104 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1105 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means

1734 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1735 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
Thomas Gleixner0793a612008-12-04 20:12:29 +01001736 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1737 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1738 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1739 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1740 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

2132 help
2133 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2134 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2135 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2136 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2137
2138 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2139 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2140 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2141 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
