86 select KERNEL_DEBUG_FS
89 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
90 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
91 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
92 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
93 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
94 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.

199 a process in the cgroup can mknod or open.
201 config KERNEL_CPUSETS
202 bool "Cpuset support"
205 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
206 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
207 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
208 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.

219 Provides a simple Resource Controller for monitoring the
220 total CPU consumed by the tasks in a cgroup.

226 This option enables controller independent resource accounting
227 infrastructure that works with cgroups.
229 config KERNEL_MM_OWNER
231 default y if KERNEL_MEMCG
234 bool "Memory Resource Controller for Control Groups"
236 depends on KERNEL_RESOURCE_COUNTERS
238 Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous
239 memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
241 Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
242 associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
243 20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
244 usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
247 Only enable when you're ok with these trade offs and really
248 sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
249 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
250 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads.
251 (and lose benefits of memory resource controller)
253 This config option also selects MM_OWNER config option, which
254 could in turn add some fork/exit overhead.
256 config KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP
257 bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension"
259 depends on KERNEL_MEMCG
261 Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you
262 enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words,
263 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
264 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
265 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
266 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
267 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
268 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
269 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
270 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
271 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
272 Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
273 size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.
275 config KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED
276 bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension enabled by default"
278 depends on KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP
280 Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension comes with its price in
281 a bigger memory consumption. General purpose distribution kernels
282 which want to enable the feature but keep it disabled by default
283 and let the user enable it by swapaccount boot command line
284 parameter should have this option unselected.
285 For those who want to have the feature enabled by default should
286 select this option (if, for some reason, they need to disable it
287 then swapaccount=0 does the trick).
290 config KERNEL_MEMCG_KMEM
291 bool "Memory Resource Controller Kernel Memory accounting (EXPERIMENTAL)"
293 depends on KERNEL_MEMCG
295 The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
296 the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
297 fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
298 Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
299 the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
300 will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.
302 config KERNEL_PERF_EVENTS
304 default y if KERNEL_CGROUP_PERF
306 config KERNEL_CGROUP_PERF
307 bool "Enable perf_event per-cpu per-container group (cgroup) monitoring"
310 This option extends the per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring to
311 threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
314 menuconfig KERNEL_CGROUP_SCHED
315 bool "Group CPU scheduler"
318 This feature lets CPU scheduler recognize task groups and control CPU
319 bandwidth allocation to such task groups. It uses cgroups to group

325 bool "Group scheduling for SCHED_OTHER"
328 config KERNEL_CFS_BANDWIDTH
329 bool "CPU bandwidth provisioning for FAIR_GROUP_SCHED"
331 depends on KERNEL_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
333 This option allows users to define CPU bandwidth rates (limits) for
334 tasks running within the fair group scheduler. Groups with no limit
335 set are considered to be unconstrained and will run with no
337 See tip/Documentation/scheduler/sched-bwc.txt for more information.
339 config KERNEL_RT_GROUP_SCHED
340 bool "Group scheduling for SCHED_RR/FIFO"
343 This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
344 to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
345 schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
346 realtime bandwidth for them.
350 config KERNEL_BLK_CGROUP
351 bool "Block IO controller"
354 Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
355 cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling
358 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
359 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
360 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
361 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.
363 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
364 One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For
365 enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set
366 CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y; for enabling throttling policy, set
367 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.
369 config KERNEL_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP
370 bool "Enable Block IO controller debugging"
372 depends on KERNEL_BLK_CGROUP
374 Enable some debugging help. Currently it exports additional stat
375 files in a cgroup which can be useful for debugging.

392 bool "Enable kernel namespaces"
401 In this namespace tasks see different info provided
402 with the uname() system call
408 In this namespace tasks work with IPC ids which correspond to
409 different IPC objects in different namespaces.
411 config KERNEL_USER_NS
412 bool "User namespace (EXPERIMENTAL)"
415 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
416 to provide different user info for different servers.
419 bool "PID Namespaces"
422 Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple
423 processes with the same pid as long as they are in different
424 pid namespaces. This is a building block of containers.
427 bool "Network namespace"
430 Allow user space to create what appear to be multiple instances
431 of the network stack.

439 config KERNEL_LXC_MISC
440 bool "Enable miscellaneous LXC related options"
445 config KERNEL_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES
446 bool "Support multiple instances of devpts"
449 Enable support for multiple instances of devpts filesystem.
450 If you want to have isolated PTY namespaces (eg: in containers),
451 say Y here. Otherwise, say N. If enabled, each mount of devpts
452 filesystem with the '-o newinstance' option will create an
453 independent PTY namespace.
455 config KERNEL_POSIX_MQUEUE
456 bool "POSIX Message Queues"
459 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
460 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
461 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
462 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
463 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
465 POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
466 and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
467 operations on message queues.
