The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable. Several compression algorithms are available, which differ in efficiency, compression and decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at each boot. If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was supplied by Christian Ludwig) High compression options are mostly useful for users, who are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram size matters less. If in doubt, select 'gzip' config KERNEL_GZIP |

config KERNEL_XZ bool "XZ" depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ help XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA. The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip and LZO. Compression is slow. |

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

default 16 help This option controls the leaf-level fanout of hierarchical implementations of RCU, and allows trading off cache misses against lock contention. Systems that synchronize their scheduling-clock interrupts for energy-efficiency reasons will want the default because the smaller leaf-level fanout keeps lock contention levels acceptably low. Very large systems (hundreds or thousands of CPUs) will instead want to set this value to the maximum value possible in order to reduce the number of cache misses incurred during RCU's grace-period initialization. These systems tend to run CPU-bound, and thus are not helped by synchronized interrupts, and thus tend to skew them, which reduces lock contention enough that large leaf-level fanouts work well. Select a specific number if testing RCU itself. Select the maximum permissible value for large systems. Take the default if unsure. |

help This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, e.g. backtraces. The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

This requires the application to know beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer.

Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g., names of variables from the data sections, etc). This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or something like this). Say N unless you really need all symbols. |

default n help Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled, then the flag will be ignored. This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator. Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems, it is normally safe to say Y here. See Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt for more information. |

help Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe" tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here, many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most useful for infrequently used options which are not required for booting. For more information, see the man pages for modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod. If you say Y here, you will need to run "make modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/ where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do this). If unsure, say Y. |
