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

135 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram

534 The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
535 support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
536 other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
537 dynticks working.
538
539 This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
540 context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
541 requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
542 Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
543 for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
544 userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
545 accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
546 dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all

998 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
999 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1000 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1001 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1002 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1003 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1004 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1005 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1006 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1509 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1510 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
0793a61d
TG
1511 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1512 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1513 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1514 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1515 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1516
57c0c15b 1517 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
dd77038d 1518 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
57c0c15b 1519 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It

1676 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

1678 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1679 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1680 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1681 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most

1683 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1684 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1685
1686 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1687 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
