135 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
136 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
137 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
138 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
139 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

535 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
536 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
537 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
538 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
539 e.g. backtraces.
540
541 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
542 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
543 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
544 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
545 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
546 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
547
548 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
549 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

1558 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be

1560 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to

1563 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
