123 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
124 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
125 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
126 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
127 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

520 The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
521 support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
522 other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
523 dynticks working.
524
525 This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
526 context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
527 requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
528 Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
529 for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
530 userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
531 accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
532 dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all
533 CPUs in the system.
534
535 Say Y only if you're working on the developpement of an
536 architecture backend for the context tracking.
537
538 Say N otherwise, this option brings an overhead that you
539 don't want in production.

990 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
991 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
992 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
993 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
994 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
995 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
996 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
997 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
998 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1501 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1502 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
0793a61d
TG
1503 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1504 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1505 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1506 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1507 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1508
57c0c15b 1509 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
dd77038d 1510 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
57c0c15b 1511 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It

1612 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1613 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to

1615 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1616 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1617 then the flag will be ignored.

1619 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1620 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.

1688 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
