148 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
149 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
150 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
151 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
152 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

155 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
156 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
157 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

508 have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files,

525 paths of the scheduler. The overhead is too low to affect
526 common scheduling-intense workloads in practice (such as

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

1978 Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
1979 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.

2005 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2006 help
2007 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2008 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2009 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2010 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2011
2012 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2013 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2014 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2015 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
