865 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
866 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
867 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
868 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
869 e.g. backtraces.
870
871 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
872 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
873 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
874 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
875 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
876 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1031 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
1032 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in

1141 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access

2031 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
2032 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
2033 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
2034 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
2035 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

2045 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
2046 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
2047 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
2048 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
2049 others sometimes change the module source without updating
2050 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
2051 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
