165 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
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.

172 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
173 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was

619 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

622 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

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.

1968 help
1969 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1970 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1971 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1972 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
1973 the signature on that module.

2046 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2047 help
2048 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2049 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2050 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2051 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2052
2053 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2054 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2055 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2056 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
