662 running at a real-time priority level, you should set
663 RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO to a priority higher than the highest-priority
664 real-time CPU-bound application thread. The default RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO
665 value of 1 is appropriate in the common case, which is real-time
666 applications that do not have any CPU-bound threads.

668 Some real-time applications might not have a single real-time

676 the CPU time on a given CPU, then RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO should be

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

845 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
846 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring

1833 option modules
1834 help
1835 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1836 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1837 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1838 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1839 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1840 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1841 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1842 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1843 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1844
1845 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1846 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1847 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1848 this).

818 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
819 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
820 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
821 effective value to 25%.
822 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
823 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
824 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
825 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
826 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
827 that bucket.
828
829 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
830 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
831 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
832 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
833 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking

999 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
1000 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
1001
1002 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1003 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1004 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1005 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1006 frequency a task will always use.
1007
1008 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1009 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1010 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1011 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.

1017 help
1018 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1019 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1020 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1021 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1022 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1023 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1024 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1025
1026 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1027 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,

1061 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1062 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1063 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know

2204 prompt "Module compression mode"
2205 help
2206 This option allows you to choose the algorithm which will be used to
2207 compress modules when 'make modules_install' is run. (or, you can
2208 choose to not compress modules at all.)
2209
2210 External modules will also be compressed in the same way during the
2211 installation.
2212
2213 For modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient to
2214 compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
2215
2216 This is fully compatible with signed modules.
2217
2218 Please note that the tool used to load modules needs to support the
2219 corresponding algorithm. module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod
2220 MAY support gzip, xz and zstd.
2221
2222 Your build system needs to provide the appropriate compression tool
2223 to compress the modules.

2253config MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS
2254 bool "Allow loading of modules with missing namespace imports"
2255 help
2256 Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2257 a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2258 namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2259 There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
2260 but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
2261 users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
2262 requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2269 help
2270 When kernel code requests a module, it does so by calling
2271 the "modprobe" userspace utility. This option allows you to
2272 set the path where that binary is found. This can be changed
2273 at runtime via the sysctl file
2274 /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. Setting this to the empty string
2275 removes the kernel's ability to request modules (but
2276 userspace can still load modules explicitly).

2281 help
2282 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2283 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2284 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2285 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2286
2287 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2288 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2289 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2290 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.

2300
2301 UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST allows to whitelist symbols that must be kept
2302 exported at all times, even in absence of in-tree users. The value to
2303 set here is the path to a text file containing the list of symbols,
2304 one per line. The path can be absolute, or relative to the kernel
2305 source tree.
