641 | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size | |

643 | of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few | |
644 | lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, | |
645 | e.g. backtraces. | |
646 | ||
647 | The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and | |
648 | the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems | |
649 | with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of | |
650 | contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring | |
651 | buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set | |
652 | so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation. | |

731 | the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time. | |
732 | ||
733 | For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5 | |
734 | clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will | |
735 | be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp | |
736 | effective value to 25%. | |
737 | If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU, | |
738 | that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and | |
739 | it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%. | |
740 | The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value | |
741 | (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in | |
742 | that bucket. | |
743 | ||
744 | An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the | |
745 | example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the | |
746 | CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems, | |
747 | it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of | |
748 | clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking | |
749 | precision. | |

2110 | This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during | |
2111 | signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel | |
2112 | directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not | |

2186 | help | |
2187 | Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in | |
2188 | a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a | |
2189 | namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS(). | |
2190 | There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports, | |
2191 | but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and | |
2192 | users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this | |
2193 | requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module. | |

2200 | help | |
2201 | Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For | |
2202 | that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This | |
2203 | option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case | |
2204 | some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you | |
2205 | encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually | |
2206 | using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using | |
2207 | this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the | |
2208 | wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a | |
2209 | mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why | |
2210 | you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for | |
2211 | your module is. | |

2216 | help |
2217 | The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for | |
2218 | other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending | |
2219 | on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration, | |
2220 | many of those exported symbols might never be used. | |
2221 | ||
2222 | This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from | |
2223 | the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities | |
2224 | (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing | |
2225 | binary size. This might have some security advantages as well. | |
