40 debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put

124 select KERNEL_DEBUG_FS
127 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
128 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
129 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
130 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
131 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
132 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.

236 devtmpfs is a simple, kernel-managed /dev filesystem. The kernel creates

295 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which

321 default y if KERNEL_MEMCG
324 bool "Memory Resource Controller for Control Groups"
326 depends on KERNEL_RESOURCE_COUNTERS || !LINUX_3_18
328 Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous
329 memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
331 Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
332 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
333 20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
334 usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
337 Only enable when you're ok with these tradeoffs and really
338 sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
339 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
340 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads
341 (but lose benefits of memory resource controller).
343 This config option also selects MM_OWNER config option, which
344 could in turn add some fork/exit overhead.
346 config KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP
347 bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension"
349 depends on KERNEL_MEMCG
351 Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you
352 enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words,
353 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
354 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
355 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
356 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
357 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
358 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
359 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
360 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
361 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
362 Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
363 size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.
365 config KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED
366 bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension enabled by default"
368 depends on KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP
370 Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension comes with its price in
371 a bigger memory consumption. General purpose distribution kernels
372 which want to enable the feature but keep it disabled by default
373 and let the user enable it by swapaccount boot command line
374 parameter should have this option unselected.
376 Those who want to have the feature enabled by default should
377 select this option (if, for some reason, they need to disable it,
378 then swapaccount=0 does the trick).
381 config KERNEL_MEMCG_KMEM
382 bool "Memory Resource Controller Kernel Memory accounting (EXPERIMENTAL)"
384 depends on KERNEL_MEMCG
386 The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
387 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
388 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
389 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
390 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
391 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.

422 tasks running within the fair group scheduler. Groups with no limit
423 set are considered to be unconstrained and will run with no
425 See tip/Documentation/scheduler/sched-bwc.txt for more information.
427 config KERNEL_RT_GROUP_SCHED
428 bool "Group scheduling for SCHED_RR/FIFO"
431 This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
432 to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
433 schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
434 realtime bandwidth for them.
438 config KERNEL_BLK_CGROUP
439 bool "Block IO controller"
442 Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
443 cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling
446 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
447 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
448 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
449 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.
451 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
452 One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For
453 enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set
454 CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y; for enabling throttling policy, set
455 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.

503 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
504 to provide different user info for different servers.

538 If you want to have isolated PTY namespaces (eg: in containers),
539 say Y here. Otherwise, say N. If enabled, each mount of devpts
540 filesystem with the '-o newinstance' option will create an
541 independent PTY namespace.
543 config KERNEL_POSIX_MQUEUE
544 bool "POSIX Message Queues"
547 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
548 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
549 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
550 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
551 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
