The CHECKPOINT_RESTORE configuration option was introduced in 2012 and combined with EXPERT. CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is already enabled in many distribution kernels and also part of the defconfigs of various architectures. To make it easier for distributions to enable CHECKPOINT_RESTORE this removes EXPERT and moves the configuration option out of the EXPERT block.

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)

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 computation optimal for the worst case
|
|
scenario while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained

from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to

userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that

mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus

|
providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
|
|
then the flag will be ignored.

|
|
This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
|
|
ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
|

Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be

enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in

it is normally safe to say Y here.

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