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)

135 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram

555 The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
556 support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
557 other dependencies to provide in order to make the full

560 This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
561 context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the

564 for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
565 userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime

1000 Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you
1001 enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words,
1002 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
1003 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
1004 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
1005 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
1006 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
1007 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
1008 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
1009 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
00a66d29 1010 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.

1011 Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
1012 size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.

1046 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1047 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1048 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1049 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1050 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1051 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
