357 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
358 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
359 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems

638 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
639 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
640 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
641 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
642 e.g. backtraces.
643
644 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
645 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
646 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
647 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
648 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
649 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

651 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

704 help
705 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
706 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
707
708 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
709 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
710 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
711 defines the minimum frequency it should use.
712
713 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
714 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
715 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.

724 help
725 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
726 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
727 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
728 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
729
730 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
731 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
732 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
733 effective value to 25%.
734 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
735 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
736 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
737 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
738 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
739 that bucket.
740
741 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
742 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
743 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
744 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
745 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
746 precision.
747
748 If in doubt, use the default value.

2170 Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2171 a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2172 namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2173 There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,

2189 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2190 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2191 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a

2205 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2206 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2207 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2208 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
