|  | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size | 
|  | according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution | 
|  | of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few | 
|  | lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, | 
|  | e.g. backtraces. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and | 
|  | the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems | 
|  | with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of | 
|  | contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring | 
|  | buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set | 
|  | so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is | 
|  | used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring | 
|  | hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case | 
|  | scenario while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup. |

|  | Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can | 
|  | be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being | 
|  | permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe" | 
|  | tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here, | 
|  | many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by | 
|  | answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most | 
|  | useful for infrequently used options which are not required | 
|  | for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for | 
|  | modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod. | 
|  |  | 
|  | If you say Y here, you will need to run "make |
