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

1742 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1743 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1744 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1745 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1746 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1747 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1748 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1749 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1750 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1751
1752 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1753 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1754 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1755 this).
1756
1757 If unsure, say Y.
