135 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
136 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
137 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
138 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
139 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
140
141 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
142 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
143 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
144 supplied by Christian Ludwig)
145

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

536 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
537 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
538 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
539 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
540 e.g. backtraces.
541
542 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
543 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
544 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
545 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
546 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
547 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
548
549 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
550 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1012 The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the
1013 boot loader (loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root
1014 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1015 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,

1581 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be

1583 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to

1586 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
