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

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

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

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

386 bool "POSIX Message Queues"
389 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
390 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
391 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
392 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
393 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
395 POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'

417 See Documentation/watch_queue.rst
419 config CROSS_MEMORY_ATTACH
420 bool "Enable process_vm_readv/writev syscalls"
424 Enabling this option adds the system calls process_vm_readv and
425 process_vm_writev which allow a process with the correct privileges
426 to directly read from or write to another process' address space.
427 See the man page for more details.
430 bool "uselib syscall (for libc5 and earlier)"
431 default ALPHA || M68K || SPARC
433 This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
434 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
435 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
436 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
437 running glibc can safely disable this.
440 bool "Auditing support"
443 Enable auditing infrastructure that can be used with another

490 between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
491 small performance impact. In the case of s390 or IBM POWER > 5,

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

552 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
555 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
556 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
557 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
558 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
559 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
560 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
561 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
562 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
563 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
565 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
566 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
567 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
570 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
571 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
572 process and its parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
573 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
574 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
575 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.
578 bool "Export task/process statistics through netlink"
583 Export selected statistics for tasks/processes through the
584 generic netlink interface. Unlike BSD process accounting, the
585 statistics are available during the lifetime of tasks/processes as
586 responses to commands. Like BSD accounting, they are sent to user

599 relative to other tasks for cpu, io, rss limits etc.

608 to userland for processing over the taskstats interface.

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

686 on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the kernel
687 image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as
688 input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel.

700 tristate "Enable kernel headers through /sys/kernel/kheaders.tar.xz"
703 This option enables access to the in-kernel headers that are generated during
704 the build process. These can be used to build eBPF tracing programs,
705 or similar programs. If you build the headers as a module, a module called
706 kheaders.ko is built which can be loaded on-demand to get access to headers.

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

824 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
825 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
826 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.
830 config UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT
831 int "Number of supported utilization clamp buckets"
834 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
836 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
837 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
838 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
839 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
841 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
842 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
843 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
844 effective value to 25%.
845 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
846 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
847 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
848 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
849 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
852 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
853 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
854 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
855 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
856 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
859 If in doubt, use the default value.

974 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
975 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
976 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
977 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.
979 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
980 One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For

1022 This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
1023 to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
1024 schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
1025 realtime bandwidth for them.

1030 config UCLAMP_TASK_GROUP
1031 bool "Utilization clamping per group of tasks"
1032 depends on CGROUP_SCHED
1033 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
1036 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
1037 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
1039 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1040 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1041 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1042 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1043 frequency a task will always use.
1045 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1046 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1047 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1048 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.
1053 bool "PIDs controller"
1055 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1056 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1057 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1058 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1059 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1060 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1061 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1063 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1064 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
1065 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1069 bool "RDMA controller"
1071 Provides enforcement of RDMA resources defined by IB stack.
1072 It is fairly easy for consumers to exhaust RDMA resources, which
1073 can result into resource unavailability to other consumers.

1090 bool "HugeTLB controller"
1091 depends on HUGETLB_PAGE
1095 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1096 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1097 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1098 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1099 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1100 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1101 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1102 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1103 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.
1106 bool "Cpuset controller"
1109 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
1110 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
1111 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
1112 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.

1130 Provides a simple controller for monitoring the
1131 total CPU consumed by the tasks in a cgroup.
1134 bool "Perf controller"
1135 depends on PERF_EVENTS
1137 This option extends the perf per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring
1138 to threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
1139 designated cpu. Or this can be used to have cgroup ID in samples
1140 so that it can monitor performance events among cgroups.

1153 of attachment. For instance, programs that are attached using
1154 BPF_CGROUP_INET_INGRESS will be executed on the ingress path of
1158 bool "Misc resource controller"
1161 Provides a controller for miscellaneous resources on a host.
1163 Miscellaneous scalar resources are the resources on the host system
1164 which cannot be abstracted like the other cgroups. This controller
1165 tracks and limits the miscellaneous resources used by a process
1166 attached to a cgroup hierarchy.

1221 In this namespace tasks work with IPC ids which correspond to
1222 different IPC objects in different namespaces.
1225 bool "User namespace"
1228 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
1229 to provide different user info for different servers.
1231 When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is
1232 recommended that the MEMCG option also be enabled and that
1233 user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount
1234 of memory a memory unprivileged users can use.
1239 bool "PID Namespaces"
1242 Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple
1243 processes with the same pid as long as they are in different
1244 pid namespaces. This is a building block of containers.

1336 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1337 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
1338 etc. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst> for details.
1340 If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this

1541 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
1542 file names to handle and then later use the handle for
1543 different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
1544 userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
1545 of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names

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

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 in very rare
1726 cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g.,
1727 names of variables from the data sections, etc).
1729 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1730 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1731 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1732 something like this).
1734 Say N unless you really need all symbols.
1736 config KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU
1739 default X86_64 && SMP
1741 config KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE
1746 Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
1747 emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
1748 each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
1749 or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
1750 an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
1751 range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
1752 address encountered in the image.
1754 On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
1755 but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
1756 time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
1757 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.

1835 default y if PROFILING
1836 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1840 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1841 by software and hardware.
1843 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1844 use of generic tracepoints.
1846 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1847 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1848 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1849 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1850 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1851 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1852 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1854 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1855 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1856 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1857 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1858 capabilities on top of those.

1926 bool "Enable loadable module support"
1929 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1930 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1931 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1932 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1933 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1934 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1935 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1936 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1937 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

1965 bool "Forced module unloading"
1966 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
1968 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the

1983 shown. If unsure, say N.
1986 bool "Module versioning support"
1988 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1989 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1990 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information

2006 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
2007 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
2008 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
2009 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
2010 others sometimes change the module source without updating
2011 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field

2161 Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2162 a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2163 namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2164 There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
2165 but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
2166 users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
2167 requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2177 set the path where that binary is found. This can be changed
2178 at runtime via the sysctl file
2179 /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. Setting this to the empty string

2189 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2190 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2192 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2193 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2194 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2195 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
