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.
653
654 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

1746 bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
1747 default y
1748 help
1749 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1750 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1751 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1752 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1753 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1754 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1755 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1756 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1757 command line.

1781 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average

1783 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1784 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1785 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1786 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1787 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
1788 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
1789 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
1790 benefits on x86.
1791
1792 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1793 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1794 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1795 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
1796 Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
1797 'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.

2109 Build a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler that produces a bytecode output
2110 that can be interpreted by the ASN.1 stream decoder and used to
2111 inform it as to what tags are to be expected in a stream and what
2112 functions to call on what tags.
