133 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
134 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
135 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
136 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
137 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

532 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
533 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
534 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
535 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
536 e.g. backtraces.
537
538 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
539 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
540 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
541 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
542 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
543 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
544
545 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
546 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1007 The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the
1008 boot loader (loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root
1009 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1010 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,

1517 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1518 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
0793a61d
TG
1519 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1520 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1521 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1522 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1523 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

dd77038d 1526 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
