148 | The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable. |
149 | Several compression algorithms are available, which differ | |

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

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

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

871 | When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage. | |
872 | The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't | |
873 | support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies | |
874 | that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access | |
875 | HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know | |

877 | control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means | |
