145 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
146 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
147 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
148 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
149 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

560 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
561 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
562 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
563 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
564 e.g. backtraces.
565
566 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
567 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
568 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
569 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
570 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
571 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
572
573 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
574 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
