 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.

 129          If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
 130          kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

 173          filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
 174          will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.

 176          The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
 177          speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip

 837          This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
 838          according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
 839          of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
 840          lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
 841          e.g. backtraces.
 842
 843          The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
 844          the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
 845          with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
 846          contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
 847          buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
 848          so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
 849
 850          Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
 851          used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
 852
 853          The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
 854          hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case

1269          The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the

1272          load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,

1649
1650          Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance

1655          when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1656          used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1657
1658          The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1659          these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a

1835          Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1836          be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1837          permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
1838          tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
1839          many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1840          answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1841          useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1842          for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
1843          modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1844

1846          modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
