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.

716 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
717 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
718 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
719 asymmetric multiprocessors.
720
721 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
722 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800723 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
724 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
725 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
726 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
727 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
728 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
729 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

853 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
854 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
855 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
856 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
857 e.g. backtraces.
858
859 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
860 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
861 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
862 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
863 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
864 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
865
866 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
867 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
868
869 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
870 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
871 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

873 Examples shift values and their meaning:
874 17 => 128 KB for each CPU
875 16 => 64 KB for each CPU
876 15 => 32 KB for each CPU

1036 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard

1047 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1048 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1049 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1050 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1051 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1052 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1053 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1054 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1055 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1690 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1691 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1692 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1693 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
Simon Arlott02f56212008-11-05 22:18:19 +00001694 and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for

1723 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1724 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1725 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1726 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1727 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1728 then the flag will be ignored.
1729
1730 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1731 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1732
1733 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1734 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in

1791 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1792 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1793 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1794 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1795 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1796 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1797 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1798 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1799 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1800
1801 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1802 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1803 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1804 this).
