598 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
599 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
600 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
601 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
602 e.g. backtraces.
603
604 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
605 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
606 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
607 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
608 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
609 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
610
611 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
612 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1740 Per cpu partial caches accellerate objects allocation and freeing
1741 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1742 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1743 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.

1755 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,

1758 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1759 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

1761 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
1762 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in

1815 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1816 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1817 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1818 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1819 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1820 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1821 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1822 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1823 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1824
1825 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1826 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1827 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1828 this).
