34 ---help---
35 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
36 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
37 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
38 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
39 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
40 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
41 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
42 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
43 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
44 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
45 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
46 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
47 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
48 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
49 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
50 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).

52 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
53 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
54 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.

56 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
57 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
58 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
59 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
60 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or

644 Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous
645 memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
646
647 Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
648 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
649 20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
650 usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
651 at boot.
652
653 Only enable when you're ok with these trade offs and really
654 sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
655 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
656 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads.

668 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
669 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
670 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
671 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
672 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
673 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
674 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
675 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
676 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.

1308 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

1311 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1312 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1313 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most

1316 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

478 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
479 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
480 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
481 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
482 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
483 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is

747 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
748
749 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
750 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
751 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
752 effective value to 25%.
753 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
754 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
755 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
756 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
757 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
758 that bucket.
759
760 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
761 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
762 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
763 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
764 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
765 precision.

1720 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1721 use of generic tracepoints.
1722
1723 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1724 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1725 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1726 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1727 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1728 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1729 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1730
1731 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1732 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1733 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
