593 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
594 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
595 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
596 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
597 e.g. backtraces.
598
599 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
600 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
601 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
602 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
603 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
604 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

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

830 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

833 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

871 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
872 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
873 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
874 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
875 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
876 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The

1404 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported

1743 Per cpu partial caches accellerate objects allocation and freeing
1744 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1745 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1746 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.

1757 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1758 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1759 then the flag will be ignored.

1761 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1762 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
1763
1764 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1765 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
1766 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
1767 it is normally safe to say Y here.

1818 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1819 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1820 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1821 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1822 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1823 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1824 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1825 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1826 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1827
1828 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1829 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1830 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1831 this).
