909 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

912 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

915 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
916 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
917 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
918 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
919 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
920 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1055 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

Patrick Bellasi62c1c062015-06-22 18:11:44 +01001427 help
1428 This option enables the system-wide support for task boosting.
1429 When this support is enabled a new sysctl interface is exposed to
1430 userspace via:
1431 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost
1432 which allows to set a system-wide boost value in range [0..100].
1433
1434 The currently boosting strategy is implemented in such a way that:
1435 - a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by
1436 scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their
1437 workload demand
1438 - a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task
1439 performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
1440
1441 A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
1442 power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
1443 scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
1444 efficiency.
1445
1446 Since this support exposes a single system-wide knob, the specified
1447 boost value is applied to all (CFS) tasks in the system.

2142 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2143 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2144 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2145 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2146 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2147 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2148 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2149 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2150 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2151
2152 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2153 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2154 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2155 this).
2156
