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

655 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
656 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
657 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
658 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
659 e.g. backtraces.
660
661 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
662 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
663 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
664 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
665 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
666 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

721 help
722 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
723 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
724
725 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
726 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
727 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
728 defines the minimum frequency it should use.
729
730 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
731 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
732 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.

741 help
742 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
743 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
744 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
745 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
746
747 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
748 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
749 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
750 effective value to 25%.
751 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
752 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
753 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
754 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
755 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
756 that bucket.
757
758 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
759 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
760 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
761 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
762 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
763 precision.
764
765 If in doubt, use the default value.

1830 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1831 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1832 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to

1834 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1835 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits

1864 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1865 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises

1873 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1874 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1875 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only

Rusty Russellb6c09b52015-06-16 12:16:22 +09302119 Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be
2120 compressed upon installation.

Rusty Russellb6c09b52015-06-16 12:16:22 +09302122 Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
2123 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.

Rusty Russellb6c09b52015-06-16 12:16:22 +09302125 Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.

2148 bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
2149 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2150 help
2151 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2152 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2153 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2154 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2155
2156 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2157 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2158 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2159 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.

Rusty Russell5f054e32012-03-29 15:38:31 +10302172 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
2173 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask

2175 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
