135 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
136 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
137 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
138 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
139 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

142 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
143 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
144 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

522 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
523 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
524 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
525 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
526 e.g. backtraces.
527
528 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
529 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
530 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
531 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
532 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
533 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
534
535 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
536 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1560 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1561 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1562 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1563 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1564 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1565 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1566 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1567 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel

1672 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

1680 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

1682 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1683 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
