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.

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)

530 The major pre-requirement for full dynticks to work is to
531 support the context tracking subsystem. But there are also
532 other dependencies to provide in order to make the full
533 dynticks working.
534
535 This option stands for testing when an arch implements the
536 context tracking backend but doesn't yet fullfill all the
537 requirements to make the full dynticks feature working.
538 Without the full dynticks, there is no way to test the support
539 for context tracking and the subsystems that rely on it: RCU
540 userspace extended quiescent state and tickless cputime
541 accounting. This option copes with the absence of the full
542 dynticks subsystem by forcing the context tracking on all
543 CPUs in the system.

1001 Provides a cgroup Resource Controller for HugeTLB pages.
1002 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1003 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1004 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1005 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1006 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1007 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1008 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1009 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1519 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses

1522 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1523 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
