657 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

660 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
661 e.g. backtraces.
662
663 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
664 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
665 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
666 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
667 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
668 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

746 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
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.
766

1817 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1818 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1819 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1820 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
1821 and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for

1838 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1839 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1840 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1841 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1842 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1843 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1844 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable

1870 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average

1872 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1873 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1874 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1875 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1876 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
1877 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
1878 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
1879 benefits on x86.
1880
1881 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1882 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1883 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1884 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.

799 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
800 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
801 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
802 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
803 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
804 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
805 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
806 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means

1458
1459 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1460 use of generic tracepoints.
1461
1462 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1463 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1464 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1465 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1466 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1467 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1468 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1469
1470 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1471 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1472 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1473 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
