 166          Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
 167          in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
 168          Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
 169          Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

 619          This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

 622          lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
 623          e.g. backtraces.
 624
 625          The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
 626          the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
 627          with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
 628          contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
 629          buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
 630          so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
 631
 632          Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
 633          used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

 856          Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
 857          cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
 858          cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
 859          is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
 860          conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
 861          system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
 862          PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
 863
 864          It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
 865          to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
 866          since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to

 898          The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't

 900          that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access

1612          Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance

1617          when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1618          used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1619
1620          The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
