34 ---help---
35 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
36 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
37 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
38 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
39 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
40 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
41 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
42 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
43 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
44 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
45 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
46 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
47 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
48 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
49 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
50 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).

57 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
58 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
59 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If

649 Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous

653 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,

655 usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out

660 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
661 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads.

673 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
674 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
675 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
676 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
677 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
678 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
679 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
680 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
681 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.

1301 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided

1303
1304 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1305 use of generic tracepoints.
1306
1307 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1308 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1309 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1310 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1311 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1312 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1313 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1314
1315 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1316 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1317 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1318 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1319 capabilities on top of those.

1428 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1429 from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to

1431 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1432 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1433 then the flag will be ignored.

1435 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by

1483 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

1485 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1486 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,

1488 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most

1490 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1491 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
