356 This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
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
360 running glibc can safely disable this.

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.

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.

2065 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
2066 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
2067 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
2068 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
2069 the signature on that module.

2141 help
2142 Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2143 a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2144 namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2145 There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
2146 but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
2147 users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
2148 requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2156 Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
2157 that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
2158 option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
2159 some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
2160 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
2161 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2162 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2163 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
2164 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2165 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
2166 your module is.

2172 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2173 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2174 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2175 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2176
2177 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2178 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2179 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2180 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
