Swap accounting can be configured by CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP configuration option and then it is turned on by default. There is a boot option (noswapaccount) which can disable this feature. This makes it hard for distributors to enable the configuration option as this feature leads to a bigger memory consumption and this is a no-go for general purpose distribution kernel. On the other hand swap accounting may be very usuful for some workloads. This patch adds a new configuration option which controls the default behavior (CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED). If the option is selected then the feature is turned on by default. It also adds a new boot parameter swapaccount[=1|0] which enhances the original noswapaccount parameter semantic by means of enable/disable logic (defaults to 1 if no value is provided to be still consistent with noswapaccount). The default behavior is unchanged (if CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP is enabled then CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP_ENABLED is enabled as well) Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Acked-by: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp> Cc: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
|
|
drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
|
|
of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
|
|
testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
|
|
known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
|
|
currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
|
|
uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
|
|
avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
|
|
testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
|
|
may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
|
|
in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
|
|
with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
|
|
(before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
|
|
<file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
|
|
<file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
|
|
<file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
|
|
|
|
This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
|
|
drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
|
|
scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
|
|
|
|
Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
|
|
falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
|
|
using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
|
|
cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
|
|
you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
|
|
drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can

also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).

SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage

Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead

of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently

|
|
Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
|
|
from mmap() has it's contents cleared before it is passed to
|
|
userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
|
|
mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
|
|
providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
|
|
then the flag will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
|
|
ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
|
|
|
|
Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
|
|
enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
|
|
userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
|
|
it is normally safe to say Y here.

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
|
|
modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
|
|
where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
|
|
this).

If unsure, say Y.

This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the

the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
