  38           Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
  39           drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
  40           of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
  41           testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
  42           known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
  43           currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
  44           uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
  45           avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
  46           testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
  47           may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
  48           in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
  49           with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
  50           (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
  51           <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
  52           <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
  53           <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
  54
  55           This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
  56           drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
  57           scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
  58
  59           Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
  60           falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
  61           using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
  62           cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
  63           you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
  64           drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

 141           The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
 142           Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
 143           in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
 144           Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
 145           Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

 189           code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in

1268           Software events are supported either built-in or via the

1270
1271           Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1272           counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1273           types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1274           suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1275           kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1276           when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1277           used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1278
1279           The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1280           these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1281           system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1282           provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1283           capabilities on top of those.

1435           Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1436           be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1437           permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
