619 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
620 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
621 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
622 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
623 e.g. backtraces.
624
625 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
626 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
627 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
628 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
629 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
630 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
631
632 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

1759 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average
1760 utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section
1761 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1762 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1763 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1764 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1765 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
1766 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
1767 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
1768 benefits on x86.
1769
1770 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1771 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1772 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1773 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
1774 Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
1775 'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.
