582 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
583 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
584 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
585 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
586 e.g. backtraces.
587
588 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
589 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
590 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
591 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
592 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
593 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
594
595 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

1391 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1392 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1393 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1394 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,

1740 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1741 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1742
1743 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1744 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1745 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1746 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1797 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1798 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1799 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1800 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1801 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1802 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1803 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1804 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1805 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1806
1807 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1808 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1809 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1810 this).
