122 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
123 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
124 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
125 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
126 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
127
128 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
129 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
130 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
131 supplied by Christian Ludwig)
132

134 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
135 size matters less.

540 The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
541 support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
542 other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
543 dynticks working.
544
545 This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
546 context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
547 requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
548 Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
549 for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
550 userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
551 accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full

993 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
994 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
995 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
996 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
997 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.

1004 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1005 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1006 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1007 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1008 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1009 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1010 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1011 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1012 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1515 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1516 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
0793a61d
TG
1517 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1518 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1519 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1520 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1521 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1522
57c0c15b 1523 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
dd77038d 1524 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a

1682 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

1684 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1685 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1686 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1687 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most

1689 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1690 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1691
1692 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1693 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
