174 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
175 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
176 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
177 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
178 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

181 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
182 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was

628 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

630 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
631 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
632 e.g. backtraces.
633
634 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
635 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
636 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
637 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
638 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
639 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1978 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1979 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1980 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1981 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check

2056 help
2057 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2058 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2059 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2060 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2061
2062 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2063 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2064 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2065 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
