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

149 A kernel build should not cause any compiler warnings, and this
150 enables the '-Werror' flag to enforce that rule by default.
152 However, if you have a new (or very old) compiler with odd and

238 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
239 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
240 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
241 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
242 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
244 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
245 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
246 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
247 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

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

385 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
386 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
387 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
388 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
389 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.

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

427 default ALPHA || M68K || SPARC
429 This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
430 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
431 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
432 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
433 running glibc can safely disable this.
436 bool "Auditing support"

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

548 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
551 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
552 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
553 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
554 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
555 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
556 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
557 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
558 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
559 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.

562 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
563 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
566 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
567 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
568 process and its parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
569 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
570 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
571 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.
574 bool "Export task/process statistics through netlink"
579 Export selected statistics for tasks/processes through the

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

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

699 This option enables access to the in-kernel headers that are generated during
700 the build process. These can be used to build eBPF tracing programs,
701 or similar programs. If you build the headers as a module, a module called
702 kheaders.ko is built which can be loaded on-demand to get access to headers.

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

826 config UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT
827 int "Number of supported utilization clamp buckets"
830 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
832 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
833 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
834 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
835 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
837 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
838 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
839 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
840 effective value to 25%.
841 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
842 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
843 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
844 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
845 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
848 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
849 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
850 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
851 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
852 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking

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

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

1028 This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
1029 to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
1030 schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
1031 realtime bandwidth for them.

1036 config UCLAMP_TASK_GROUP
1037 bool "Utilization clamping per group of tasks"
1038 depends on CGROUP_SCHED
1039 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
1042 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
1043 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
1045 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1046 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1047 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1048 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1049 frequency a task will always use.
1051 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1052 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1053 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1054 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.
1059 bool "PIDs controller"
1061 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1062 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1063 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1064 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1065 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1066 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1067 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1069 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1070 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
1071 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1075 bool "RDMA controller"
1077 Provides enforcement of RDMA resources defined by IB stack.
1078 It is fairly easy for consumers to exhaust RDMA resources, which
1079 can result into resource unavailability to other consumers.

1096 bool "HugeTLB controller"
1097 depends on HUGETLB_PAGE
1101 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1102 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1103 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1104 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1105 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1106 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1107 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1108 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1109 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.
1112 bool "Cpuset controller"
1115 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
1116 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
1117 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
1118 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.

1140 bool "Perf controller"
1141 depends on PERF_EVENTS
1143 This option extends the perf per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring
1144 to threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
1145 designated cpu. Or this can be used to have cgroup ID in samples
1146 so that it can monitor performance events among cgroups.

1159 of attachment. For instance, programs that are attached using

1164 bool "Misc resource controller"
1167 Provides a controller for miscellaneous resources on a host.
1169 Miscellaneous scalar resources are the resources on the host system
1170 which cannot be abstracted like the other cgroups. This controller
1171 tracks and limits the miscellaneous resources used by a process
1172 attached to a cgroup hierarchy.

1227 In this namespace tasks work with IPC ids which correspond to
1228 different IPC objects in different namespaces.
1231 bool "User namespace"
1234 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
1235 to provide different user info for different servers.
1237 When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is
1238 recommended that the MEMCG option also be enabled and that
1239 user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount
1240 of memory a memory unprivileged users can use.
1245 bool "PID Namespaces"
1248 Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple
1249 processes with the same pid as long as they are in different
1250 pid namespaces. This is a building block of containers.

1342 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1343 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
1344 etc. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst> for details.
1346 If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this

1667 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1668 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1669 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1670 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
1673 bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT
1676 This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used
1677 by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling
1678 this option saves about 7k.
1681 bool "Enable IO uring support" if EXPERT
1685 This option enables support for the io_uring interface, enabling
1686 applications to submit and complete IO through submission and
1687 completion rings that are shared between the kernel and application.

1695 usage, improving performance. If building an embedded system where no
1696 applications use these syscalls, you can disable this option to save
1700 bool "Enable membarrier() system call" if EXPERT
1703 Enable the membarrier() system call that allows issuing memory
1704 barriers across all running threads, which can be used to distribute
1705 the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming
1706 pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of membarrier() and a
1712 bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT
1715 Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
1716 symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
1717 somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
1720 bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
1721 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
1723 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1724 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1725 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only if you want to
1726 enable kernel live patching, or other less common use cases (e.g.,
1727 when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (i.e., names of
1728 variables from the data sections, etc).
1730 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1731 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1732 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1733 something like this).
1735 Say N unless you really need all symbols, or kernel live patching.
1737 config KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU
1740 default X86_64 && SMP
1742 config KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE
1747 Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
1748 emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
1749 each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
1750 or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
1751 an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
1752 range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
1753 address encountered in the image.
1755 On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
1756 but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
1757 time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
1758 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.

1835 bool "Kernel performance events and counters"
1836 default y if PROFILING
1837 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1841 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1842 by software and hardware.
1844 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1845 use of generic tracepoints.
1847 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1848 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1849 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1850 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1851 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1852 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1853 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1855 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1856 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1857 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1858 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1859 capabilities on top of those.
