356 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
357 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or

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

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

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

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

Thomas Gleixner0793a612008-12-04 20:12:29 +01001736

1739
1740 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1741 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
Thomas Gleixner0793a612008-12-04 20:12:29 +01001742 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1743 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1744 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1745 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1746 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1747
Ingo Molnar57c0c152009-09-21 12:20:38 +02001748 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of

1855 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be

1857 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to

1859 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1860 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits

2039 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
2040 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
2041 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
2042 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
2043 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
2044 unsure, say N.

2062 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
