 204          Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
 205          in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
 206          Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
 207          Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

 253          filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ

 661          e.g. backtraces.
 662
 663          The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
 664          the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
 665          with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
 666          contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
 667          buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
 668          so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
 669
 670          Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

 747          the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
 748
 749          For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
 750          clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
 751          be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
 752          effective value to 25%.
 753          If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
 754          that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
 755          it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
 756          The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
 757          (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
 758          that bucket.
 759
 760          An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
 761          example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
 762          CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
 763          it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
 764          clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
 765          precision.

1722
1723          Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1724          counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1725          types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1726          suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1727          kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1728          when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1729          used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1730
1731          The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1732          these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1733          system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1734          provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event

2096          This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
2097          signature generation.  This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
2098          directly so that signature verification can take place.  It is not
2099          possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
2100          the signature on that module.

2173          Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2174          a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2175          namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2176          There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
2177          but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
2178          users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this

2187          Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
2188          that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
2189          option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
2190          some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
2191          encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
2192          using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2193          this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2194          wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
2195          mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2196          you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

2203          The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2204          other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2205          on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2206          many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2207
2208          This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2209          the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2210          (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2211          binary size.  This might have some security advantages as well.
