123 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
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.
128
129 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
130 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
131 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
132 supplied by Christian Ludwig)
133

135 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
136 size matters less.

552 This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
553 context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
554 requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.

557 userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
