Alain Knaff30d65db2009-01-04 22:46:17 +0100123 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
124 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
125 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
126 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
127 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

717 Use this option to reduce OS jitter for aggressive HPC or
718 real-time workloads. It can also be used to offload RCU
719 callback invocation to energy-efficient CPUs in battery-powered
720 asymmetric multiprocessors.
721
722 This option offloads callback invocation from the set of
723 CPUs specified at boot time by the rcu_nocbs parameter.
Paul E. McKenneya4889852012-12-03 08:16:28 -0800724 For each such CPU, a kthread ("rcuox/N") will be created to
725 invoke callbacks, where the "N" is the CPU being offloaded,
726 and where the "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p" for RCU-preempt, and
727 "s" for RCU-sched. Nothing prevents this kthread from running
728 on the specified CPUs, but (1) the kthreads may be preempted
729 between each callback, and (2) affinity or cgroups can be used
730 to force the kthreads to run on whatever set of CPUs is desired.

841 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
842 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
843 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
844 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
845 e.g. backtraces.
846
847 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
848 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
849 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
850 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
851 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
852 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
853
854 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
855 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
856
857 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
858 hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
859 scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

861 Examples shift values and their meaning:

863 16 => 64 KB for each CPU
864 15 => 32 KB for each CPU

1041 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1042 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1043 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1044 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1045 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1046 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1047 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1048 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1049 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1717 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1718 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
1719 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1720 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1721 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1722 then the flag will be ignored.
1723
1724 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1725 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1726
1727 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1728 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1729 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1730 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1785 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1786 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1787 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1788 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1789 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1790 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1791 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1792 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1793 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1794
1795 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1796 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1797 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1798 this).
1799
