148 | The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable. |
149 | Several compression algorithms are available, which differ | |
150 | in efficiency, compression and decompression speed. | |
151 | Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel. | |
152 | Decompression speed is relevant at each boot. | |

563 | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size | |

566 | lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, | |
567 | e.g. backtraces. | |

569 | The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and | |

3903bf94 | 1716 | from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to |

1779 | Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can | |
1780 | be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being | |
1781 | permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe" | |
1782 | tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here, | |
1783 | many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by | |
1784 | answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most | |
1785 | useful for infrequently used options which are not required | |
1786 | for booting. For more information, see the man pages for | |
1787 | modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod. | |
1788 | ||
1789 | If you say Y here, you will need to run "make | |

1792 | this). | |
