283 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
284 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
285 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
286 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
287 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
289 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
290 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
291 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
292 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

295 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
298 If in doubt, select 'gzip'
302 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP
304 The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance
305 between compression ratio and decompression speed.
309 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2
311 Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
312 Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
313 size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
314 Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
315 will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
319 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
321 This compression algorithm's ratio is best. Decompression speed
322 is between gzip and bzip2. Compression is slowest.
323 The kernel size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
327 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
329 XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
330 BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
331 code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
332 comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
333 filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, ARM64, RISC-V, big endian PowerPC,
334 and SPARC), XZ will create a few percent smaller kernel than
337 The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
338 speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
339 and LZO. Compression is slow.
343 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
345 Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
346 size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
347 (both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
351 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZ4
353 LZ4 is an LZ77-type compressor with a fixed, byte-oriented encoding.
354 A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at
355 <https://code.google.com/p/lz4/>.
357 Its compression ratio is worse than LZO. The size of the kernel
358 is about 8% bigger than LZO. But the decompression speed is
363 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD
365 ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
366 with fast decompression speed. It will compress better than GZIP and
367 decompress around the same speed as LZO, but slower than LZ4. You
368 will need at least 192 KB RAM or more for booting. The zstd command
369 line tool is required for compression.
371 config KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
373 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
375 Produce uncompressed kernel image. This option is usually not what
376 you want. It is useful for debugging the kernel in slow simulation
377 environments, where decompressing and moving the kernel is awfully
378 slow. This option allows early boot code to skip the decompressor
379 and jump right at uncompressed kernel image.
384 string "Default init path"
387 This option determines the default init for the system if no init=
388 option is passed on the kernel command line. If the requested path is
389 not present, we will still then move on to attempting further
390 locations (e.g. /sbin/init, etc). If this is empty, we will just use
391 the fallback list when init= is not passed.
393 config DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
394 string "Default hostname"
397 This option determines the default system hostname before userspace
398 calls sethostname(2). The kernel traditionally uses "(none)" here,
399 but you may wish to use a different default here to make a minimal
400 system more usable with less configuration.
405 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
406 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
407 exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
408 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
409 you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
410 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
411 you'll need to say Y here.
413 You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in

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

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

473 default ALPHA || M68K || SPARC
475 This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
476 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
477 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
478 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
479 running glibc can safely disable this.
482 bool "Auditing support"

582 that reflects the reduction in CPU compute capacity resulted from
583 HW throttling. HW throttling occurs when the performance of
584 a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures as an example.
586 If selected, the scheduler will be able to balance tasks accordingly,
587 i.e. put less load on throttled CPUs than on non/less throttled ones.
589 This requires the architecture to implement
590 arch_update_hw_pressure() and arch_scale_thermal_pressure().

593 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
596 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
597 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
598 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
599 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
600 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
601 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
602 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
603 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
604 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
606 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
607 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
608 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
611 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
612 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
613 process and its parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
614 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
615 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
616 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.
619 bool "Export task/process statistics through netlink"
624 Export selected statistics for tasks/processes through the

626 statistics are available during the lifetime of tasks/processes as
627 responses to commands. Like BSD accounting, they are sent to user

633 bool "Enable per-task delay accounting"
637 Collect information on time spent by a task waiting for system
638 resources like cpu, synchronous block I/O completion and swapping
639 in pages. Such statistics can help in setting a task's priorities
640 relative to other tasks for cpu, io, rss limits etc.

649 to userland for processing over the taskstats interface.

663 bool "Pressure stall information tracking"
666 Collect metrics that indicate how overcommitted the CPU, memory,
667 and IO capacity are in the system.
669 If you say Y here, the kernel will create /proc/pressure/ with the
670 pressure statistics files cpu, memory, and io. These will indicate
671 the share of walltime in which some or all tasks in the system are
672 delayed due to contention of the respective resource.
674 In kernels with cgroup support, cgroups (cgroup2 only) will
675 have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files,
676 which aggregate pressure stalls for the grouped tasks only.
678 For more details see Documentation/accounting/psi.rst.
682 config PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED
683 bool "Require boot parameter to enable pressure stall information tracking"
687 If set, pressure stall information tracking will be disabled
688 per default but can be enabled through passing psi=1 on the
689 kernel commandline during boot.
691 This feature adds some code to the task wakeup and sleep
692 paths of the scheduler. The overhead is too low to affect
693 common scheduling-intense workloads in practice (such as
694 webservers, memcache), but it does show up in artificial
695 scheduler stress tests, such as hackbench.

743 or similar programs. If you build the headers as a module, a module called
744 kheaders.ko is built which can be loaded on-demand to get access to headers.

769 default 0 if BASE_SMALL
773 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
774 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
775 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
776 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
779 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
780 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
781 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
782 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
783 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
784 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
786 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
787 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
789 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
790 hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case
791 scenario while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

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

1097 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
1098 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
1100 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1101 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1102 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1103 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1104 frequency a task will always use.
1106 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1107 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1108 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1109 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.
1114 bool "PIDs controller"
1116 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1117 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1118 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1119 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1120 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1121 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1122 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1124 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1125 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
1126 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1130 bool "RDMA controller"

1133 It is fairly easy for consumers to exhaust RDMA resources, which
1134 can result into resource unavailability to other consumers.

1150 config CGROUP_HUGETLB
1151 bool "HugeTLB controller"
1152 depends on HUGETLB_PAGE
1156 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1157 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1158 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1159 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1160 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1161 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1162 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1163 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1164 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.
1167 bool "Cpuset controller"
1171 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
1172 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
1173 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
1174 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.

1240 tracks and limits the miscellaneous resources used by a process
1241 attached to a cgroup hierarchy.

1308 user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount
1309 of memory a memory unprivileged users can use.
1314 bool "PID Namespaces"

1630 numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this
1631 option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors.
1637 bool "Enable ELF core dumps" if EXPERT
1639 Enable support for generating core dumps. Disabling saves about 4k.
1642 config PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1643 bool "Enable PC-Speaker support" if EXPERT
1644 depends on HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1648 This option allows to disable the internal PC-Speaker
1649 support, saving some memory.
1652 bool "Enable smaller-sized data structures for core" if EXPERT
1654 Enabling this option reduces the size of miscellaneous core
1655 kernel data structures. This saves memory on small machines,
1656 but may reduce performance.
1659 bool "Enable futex support" if EXPERT
1660 depends on !(SPARC32 && SMP)
1664 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1665 support for "fast userspace mutexes". The resulting kernel may not
1666 run glibc-based applications correctly.
1670 depends on FUTEX && RT_MUTEXES
1674 bool "Enable eventpoll support" if EXPERT
1677 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1678 support for epoll family of system calls.
1681 bool "Enable signalfd() system call" if EXPERT
1684 Enable the signalfd() system call that allows to receive signals
1685 on a file descriptor.
1690 bool "Enable timerfd() system call" if EXPERT
1693 Enable the timerfd() system call that allows to receive timer
1694 events on a file descriptor.
1699 bool "Enable eventfd() system call" if EXPERT
1702 Enable the eventfd() system call that allows to receive both
1703 kernel notification (ie. KAIO) or userspace notifications.
1708 bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EXPERT
1712 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1713 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1714 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1715 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1716 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
1719 bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT
1722 This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used
1723 by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling
1724 this option saves about 7k.
1727 bool "Enable IO uring support" if EXPERT
1731 This option enables support for the io_uring interface, enabling
1732 applications to submit and complete IO through submission and
1733 completion rings that are shared between the kernel and application.
1735 config GCOV_PROFILE_URING
1736 bool "Enable GCOV profiling on the io_uring subsystem"
1737 depends on GCOV_KERNEL
1739 Enable GCOV profiling on the io_uring subsystem, to facilitate
1740 code coverage testing.
1744 Note that this will have a negative impact on the performance of
1745 the io_uring subsystem, hence this should only be enabled for
1746 specific test purposes.
1748 config ADVISE_SYSCALLS
1749 bool "Enable madvise/fadvise syscalls" if EXPERT
1752 This option enables the madvise and fadvise syscalls, used by
1753 applications to advise the kernel about their future memory or file
1754 usage, improving performance. If building an embedded system where no
1755 applications use these syscalls, you can disable this option to save
1759 bool "Enable membarrier() system call" if EXPERT
1762 Enable the membarrier() system call that allows issuing memory
1763 barriers across all running threads, which can be used to distribute
1764 the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming
1765 pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of membarrier() and a
1771 bool "Enable kcmp() system call" if EXPERT
1773 Enable the kernel resource comparison system call. It provides
1774 user-space with the ability to compare two processes to see if they
1775 share a common resource, such as a file descriptor or even virtual
1781 bool "Enable rseq() system call" if EXPERT
1783 depends on HAVE_RSEQ
1786 Enable the restartable sequences system call. It provides a
1787 user-space cache for the current CPU number value, which
1788 speeds up getting the current CPU number from user-space,
1789 as well as an ABI to speed up user-space operations on
1796 bool "Enable debugging of rseq() system call" if EXPERT
1797 depends on RSEQ && DEBUG_KERNEL
1799 Enable extra debugging checks for the rseq system call.
1803 config CACHESTAT_SYSCALL
1804 bool "Enable cachestat() system call" if EXPERT
1807 Enable the cachestat system call, which queries the page cache
1808 statistics of a file (number of cached pages, dirty pages,
1809 pages marked for writeback, (recently) evicted pages).
1811 If unsure say Y here.
1814 bool "PC/104 support" if EXPERT
1816 Expose PC/104 form factor device drivers and options available for
1817 selection and configuration. Enable this option if your target
1818 machine has a PC/104 bus.
1821 bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT
1824 Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
1825 symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
1826 somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
1828 config KALLSYMS_SELFTEST
1829 bool "Test the basic functions and performance of kallsyms"
1833 Test the basic functions and performance of some interfaces, such as
1834 kallsyms_lookup_name. It also calculates the compression rate of the
1835 kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set.
1837 Start self-test automatically after system startup. Suggest executing
1838 "dmesg | grep kallsyms_selftest" to collect test results. "finish" is
1839 displayed in the last line, indicating that the test is complete.
1842 bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
1843 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
1845 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1846 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1847 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only if you want to
1848 enable kernel live patching, or other less common use cases (e.g.,
1849 when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (i.e., names of
1850 variables from the data sections, etc).
1852 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1853 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1854 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1855 something like this).
1857 Say N unless you really need all symbols, or kernel live patching.

1889 bool "Kernel performance events and counters"
1890 default y if PROFILING
1891 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1894 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1895 by software and hardware.
1897 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1898 use of generic tracepoints.
1900 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1901 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1902 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1903 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1904 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1905 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1906 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1908 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1909 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1910 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1911 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1912 capabilities on top of those.

1919 depends on PERF_EVENTS && DEBUG_KERNEL && !PPC
