9 The 'default' property references the environment variable,

722 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
723 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
724 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
725 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
726 e.g. backtraces.
727
728 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
729 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
730 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
731 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
732 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
Paul Menzel0f7636e12020-08-11 11:29:23 +0200733 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

810 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
811 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
812 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
813
814 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
815 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
816 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
817 effective value to 25%.
818 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
819 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
820 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
821 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
822 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
823 that bucket.
824
825 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
826 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
827 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
828 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
829 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
830 precision.
831
832 If in doubt, use the default value.

1054 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1055 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1056 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1057 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1058 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1059 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1060 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1061 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1062 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

2080 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2081 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2082 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2083 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2084 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2085 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2086 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2087 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2088 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2089
2090 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2091 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2092 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2093 this).
