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

525 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
526 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
527 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
528 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
529 e.g. backtraces.
530
531 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
532 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
533 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
534 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
535 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
536 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
537
538 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
539 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1510 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1511 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
0793a61d
TG
1512 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1513 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1514 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1515 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1516 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1517
57c0c15b 1518 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
dd77038d 1519 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
