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.

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)

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

1000 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1001 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1002 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1003 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1004 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1005 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1006 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1007 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1008 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1517 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
0793a61d
TG
1518 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1519 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1520 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1521 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1522 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

57c0c15b 1524 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
dd77038d 1525 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
