610 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
611 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
612 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
613 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
614 e.g. backtraces.
615
616 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
617 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
618 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
619 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
620 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
621 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

891 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
892 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know

1836 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1837 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1838 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1839 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1840 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1841 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1842 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1843 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1844 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1845
1846 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1847 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1848 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1849 this).
