165 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
166 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
167 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
168 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
169 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

172 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

620 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

623 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

626 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
627 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
628 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
629 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
630 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
631 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1969 help
1970 This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during
1971 signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel
1972 directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not
1973 possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
1974 the signature on that module.

2047 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2048 help
2049 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2050 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2051 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2052 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2053
2054 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2055 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2056 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2057 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
