164 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
165 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
166 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
167 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
168 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

171 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
172 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
173 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

610 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

613 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
614 e.g. backtraces.

616 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
617 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
618 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
619 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
620 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
621 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

1997 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.

2022 bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols"
2023 depends on MODULES && !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2024 help
2025 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2026 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2027 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2028 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2029
2030 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2031 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2032 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2033 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
