362 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or

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

708 help
709 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
710 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
711
712 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
713 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
714 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
715 defines the minimum frequency it should use.
716
717 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
718 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
719 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.

729 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
730 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
731 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
732 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
733
734 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
735 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
736 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
737 effective value to 25%.
738 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
739 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
740 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
741 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
742 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
743 that bucket.
744
745 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
746 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
747 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
748 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
749 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
750 precision.
751
752 If in doubt, use the default value.

2174 Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2175 a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2176 namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2177 There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
2178 but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
2179 users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this

2193 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2194 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2195 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
2196 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2197 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
2198 your module is.

2207 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2208
2209 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2210 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2211 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2212 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
