The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
|
|
Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
|
|
in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
|
|
Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
|
|
Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
|
|
kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
|
|
version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
|
|
supplied by Christian Ludwig)
|
|
|
|
High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
|
|
are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
|
|
size matters less.

If in doubt, select 'gzip'

Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
|
|
Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
|
|
size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.

Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you

XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific

BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
|
|
code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
|
|
comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
|
|
filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
|
|
will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
|
|
|
|
The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression

speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip

and LZO. Compression is slow.

A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at

This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
|
|
according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
|
|
of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
|
|
lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
|
|
e.g. backtraces.
|
|
|
|
The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
|
|
the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
|
|
with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
|
|
contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
|
|
buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
|
|
so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
|
|
|
|
Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
|
|
used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
|
|
|
|
The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
|
|
hotplugging making the compuation optimal for the the worst case
|
|
scenerio while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.
|
|
|
|
Examples shift values and their meaning:
|
|
17 => 128 KB for each CPU
|
|
16 => 64 KB for each CPU
|
|
15 => 32 KB for each CPU

This option enables the system-wide support for task boosting.
|

When this support is enabled a new sysctl interface is exposed to

userspace via:
|
|
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_cfs_boost
|
|
which allows to set a system-wide boost value in range [0..100].
|
|
|
|
The currently boosting strategy is implemented in such a way that:
|
|
- a 0% boost value requires to operate in "standard" mode by
|
|
scheduling all tasks at the minimum capacities required by their
|
|
workload demand
|
|
- a 100% boost value requires to push at maximum the task
|
|
performances, "regardless" of the incurred energy consumption
|
|
|
|
A boost value in between these two boundaries is used to bias the
|
|
power/performance trade-off, the higher the boost value the more the
|
|
scheduler is biased toward performance boosting instead of energy
|
|
efficiency.
|
|
|
|
Since this support exposes a single system-wide knob, the specified
|
|
boost value is applied to all (CFS) tasks in the system.

Without this option you will not be able to unload any

modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable

anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster

help
|

This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
|
|
kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
|
|
without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
|
|
rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
|

Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
|
|
compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
|
|
to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
|

make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

unsure, say N.

Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
|
|
field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
|
|
sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
|
|
see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
|
|
others sometimes change the module source without updating
|
|
the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
|
|
will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

Check modules for valid signatures upon load: the signature

is simply appended to the module. For more information see

Documentation/module-signing.txt.

Note that this option adds the OpenSSL development packages as a

kernel build dependency so that the signing tool can use its crypto

library.

!!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the

module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed. This includes the

debuginfo strip done by some packagers (such as rpmbuild) and

inclusion into an initramfs that wants the module size reduced.

This determines which sort of hashing algorithm will be used during

signature generation. This algorithm _must_ be built into the kernel

directly so that signature verification can take place. It is not

possible to load a signed module containing the algorithm to check
