118 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
119 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
120 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
121 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
122 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

510 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
511 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
512 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
513 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
514 e.g. backtraces.
515
516 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
517 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
518 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
519 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
520 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
521 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
522
523 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
524 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
