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.

725 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
726 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
727 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
728 asymmetric multiprocessors.

730 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
731 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800732 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
733 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
734 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
735 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
736 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
737 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
738 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

862 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
863 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
864 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
865 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
866 e.g. backtraces.
867
868 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
869 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
870 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
871 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
872 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
873 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
874
875 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
876 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
877
878 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
879 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
880 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

884 16 => 64 KB for each CPU
885 15 => 32 KB for each CPU

1057 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1058 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1059 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1060 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1061 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1062 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1063 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1064 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1737 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1738 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1739 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1740 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1741 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1742 then the flag will be ignored.
1743
1744 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1745 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1746
1747 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1748 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1749 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1750 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1805 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1806 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1807 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1808 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1809 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1810 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1811 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1812 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1813 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1814
1815 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1816 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1817 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1818 this).
1819
