575 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
576 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
577 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
578 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
579 e.g. backtraces.
580
581 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
582 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
583 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
584 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
585 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
586 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
587
588 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
589 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1790 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1791 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1792 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1793 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1794 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1795 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1796 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1797 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1798 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1799
1800 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1801 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1802 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1803 this).
1804
