149 developers still, opposing to distributors, might want to build such

160 A kernel build should not cause any compiler warnings, and this
161 enables the '-Werror' (for C) and '-Dwarnings' (for Rust) flags
162 to enforce that rule by default.
164 However, if you have a new (or very old) compiler with odd and

250 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
251 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
252 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
253 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
254 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
256 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
257 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
258 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
259 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

262 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
265 If in doubt, select 'gzip'
269 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP
271 The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance
272 between compression ratio and decompression speed.
276 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2
278 Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
279 Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
280 size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
281 Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
282 will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
286 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
288 This compression algorithm's ratio is best. Decompression speed
289 is between gzip and bzip2. Compression is slowest.
290 The kernel size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
294 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
296 XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
297 BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
298 code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
299 comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
300 filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
301 will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
303 The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
304 speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
305 and LZO. Compression is slow.
309 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
311 Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
312 size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
313 (both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
317 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZ4
319 LZ4 is an LZ77-type compressor with a fixed, byte-oriented encoding.
320 A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at
321 <https://code.google.com/p/lz4/>.
323 Its compression ratio is worse than LZO. The size of the kernel
324 is about 8% bigger than LZO. But the decompression speed is
329 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD
331 ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
332 with fast decompression speed. It will compress better than GZIP and
333 decompress around the same speed as LZO, but slower than LZ4. You
334 will need at least 192 KB RAM or more for booting. The zstd command
335 line tool is required for compression.
337 config KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
339 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
341 Produce uncompressed kernel image. This option is usually not what
342 you want. It is useful for debugging the kernel in slow simulation
343 environments, where decompressing and moving the kernel is awfully
344 slow. This option allows early boot code to skip the decompressor
345 and jump right at uncompressed kernel image.
350 string "Default init path"
353 This option determines the default init for the system if no init=
354 option is passed on the kernel command line. If the requested path is
355 not present, we will still then move on to attempting further
356 locations (e.g. /sbin/init, etc). If this is empty, we will just use
357 the fallback list when init= is not passed.
359 config DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
360 string "Default hostname"
363 This option determines the default system hostname before userspace
364 calls sethostname(2). The kernel traditionally uses "(none)" here,
365 but you may wish to use a different default here to make a minimal
366 system more usable with less configuration.
371 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
372 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
373 exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
374 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
375 you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
376 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
377 you'll need to say Y here.
379 You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in

397 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
398 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
399 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
400 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
401 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
403 POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'

434 to directly read from or write to another process' address space.
435 See the man page for more details.

443 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
444 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
445 running glibc can safely disable this.
448 bool "Auditing support"

548 that reflects the reduction in CPU compute capacity resulted from
549 thermal throttling. Thermal throttling occurs when the performance of
550 a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures.
552 If selected, the scheduler will be able to balance tasks accordingly,
553 i.e. put less load on throttled CPUs than on non/less throttled ones.
555 This requires the architecture to implement
556 arch_update_thermal_pressure() and arch_scale_thermal_pressure().

559 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
562 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
563 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
564 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
565 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
566 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
567 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
568 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
569 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
570 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
572 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
573 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
574 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
577 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
578 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
579 process and its parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
580 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
581 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
582 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.
585 bool "Export task/process statistics through netlink"
590 Export selected statistics for tasks/processes through the

593 responses to commands. Like BSD accounting, they are sent to user

629 bool "Pressure stall information tracking"
631 Collect metrics that indicate how overcommitted the CPU, memory,
632 and IO capacity are in the system.
634 If you say Y here, the kernel will create /proc/pressure/ with the
635 pressure statistics files cpu, memory, and io. These will indicate
636 the share of walltime in which some or all tasks in the system are
637 delayed due to contention of the respective resource.
639 In kernels with cgroup support, cgroups (cgroup2 only) will
640 have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files,
641 which aggregate pressure stalls for the grouped tasks only.
643 For more details see Documentation/accounting/psi.rst.
647 config PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED
648 bool "Require boot parameter to enable pressure stall information tracking"
652 If set, pressure stall information tracking will be disabled
653 per default but can be enabled through passing psi=1 on the
654 kernel commandline during boot.
656 This feature adds some code to the task wakeup and sleep
657 paths of the scheduler. The overhead is too low to affect
658 common scheduling-intense workloads in practice (such as
659 webservers, memcache), but it does show up in artificial
660 scheduler stress tests, such as hackbench.

742 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
743 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
744 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
745 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
748 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
749 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
750 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
751 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
752 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
753 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
755 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
756 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
758 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
759 hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case

824 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
826 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
827 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
828 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
829 defines the minimum frequency it should use.
831 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
832 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
833 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.
837 config UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT
838 int "Number of supported utilization clamp buckets"
841 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
843 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
844 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
845 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
846 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
848 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
849 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
850 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
851 effective value to 25%.
852 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
853 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
854 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
855 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
856 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
859 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
860 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
861 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
862 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
863 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
866 If in doubt, use the default value.

960 as task migrations and controller on/offs at the cost of making
961 hot path operations such as forks and exits more expensive.

982 Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common

986 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
987 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
988 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
989 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.

1034 This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
1035 to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
1036 schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
1037 realtime bandwidth for them.

1042 config UCLAMP_TASK_GROUP
1043 bool "Utilization clamping per group of tasks"
1044 depends on CGROUP_SCHED
1045 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
1048 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
1049 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
1051 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1052 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1053 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1054 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1055 frequency a task will always use.
1057 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1058 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1059 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1060 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.
1065 bool "PIDs controller"
1067 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1068 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1069 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1070 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1071 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1072 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1073 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1075 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1076 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
1077 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1081 bool "RDMA controller"
1083 Provides enforcement of RDMA resources defined by IB stack.
1084 It is fairly easy for consumers to exhaust RDMA resources, which
1085 can result into resource unavailability to other consumers.

1102 bool "HugeTLB controller"
1103 depends on HUGETLB_PAGE
1107 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1108 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1109 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1110 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1111 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1112 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1113 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1114 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1115 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.
1118 bool "Cpuset controller"
1121 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
1122 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
1123 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
1124 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.

1147 depends on PERF_EVENTS
1149 This option extends the perf per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring
1150 to threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
1151 designated cpu. Or this can be used to have cgroup ID in samples
1152 so that it can monitor performance events among cgroups.

1175 Miscellaneous scalar resources are the resources on the host system
1176 which cannot be abstracted like the other cgroups. This controller
1177 tracks and limits the miscellaneous resources used by a process
1178 attached to a cgroup hierarchy.

1237 bool "User namespace"
1240 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
1241 to provide different user info for different servers.
1243 When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is
1244 recommended that the MEMCG option also be enabled and that
1245 user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount
1246 of memory a memory unprivileged users can use.
1251 bool "PID Namespaces"
1254 Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple
1255 processes with the same pid as long as they are in different
1256 pid namespaces. This is a building block of containers.

1349 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1350 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
1351 etc. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst> for details.
1353 If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this

1651 bool "Enable timerfd() system call" if EXPERT
1654 Enable the timerfd() system call that allows to receive timer
1655 events on a file descriptor.
1660 bool "Enable eventfd() system call" if EXPERT
1663 Enable the eventfd() system call that allows to receive both
1664 kernel notification (ie. KAIO) or userspace notifications.
1669 bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EXPERT
1673 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1674 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1675 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1676 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1677 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
1680 bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT
1683 This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used
1684 by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling
1685 this option saves about 7k.
1688 bool "Enable IO uring support" if EXPERT
1692 This option enables support for the io_uring interface, enabling
1693 applications to submit and complete IO through submission and
1694 completion rings that are shared between the kernel and application.

1700 This option enables the madvise and fadvise syscalls, used by
1701 applications to advise the kernel about their future memory or file
1702 usage, improving performance. If building an embedded system where no
1703 applications use these syscalls, you can disable this option to save
1707 bool "Enable membarrier() system call" if EXPERT
1710 Enable the membarrier() system call that allows issuing memory
1711 barriers across all running threads, which can be used to distribute
1712 the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming
1713 pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of membarrier() and a
1719 bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT
1722 Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
1723 symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
1724 somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
1727 bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
1728 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
1730 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1731 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1732 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only if you want to
1733 enable kernel live patching, or other less common use cases (e.g.,
1734 when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (i.e., names of
1735 variables from the data sections, etc).
1737 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1738 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1739 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1740 something like this).
1742 Say N unless you really need all symbols, or kernel live patching.
1744 config KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU
1747 default X86_64 && SMP
1749 config KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE
1754 Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
1755 emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
1756 each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
1757 or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
1758 an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
1759 range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
1760 address encountered in the image.
1762 On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
1763 but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
1764 time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
1765 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.

1842 bool "Kernel performance events and counters"
1843 default y if PROFILING
1844 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1848 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1849 by software and hardware.
1851 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1852 use of generic tracepoints.
1854 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1855 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1856 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1857 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1858 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1859 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1860 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1862 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1863 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1864 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1865 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1866 capabilities on top of those.
