The used space is typically only few 743 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, 744 e.g. backtraces. 745 746 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and 747 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems 748 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of 749 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring 750 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT.

A 25% boosted tasks will 824 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp 825 effective value to 25%. 826 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU, 827 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and 828 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%. 829 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value 830 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in 831 that bucket. 832 833 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the 834 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the 835 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems, 836 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of 837 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking 838 precision. 839 840 If in doubt, use the default value. 841 842endmenu 843 844# 845# For architectures that want to enable the support for NUMA-affine scheduler 846# balancing logic: 847# 848config ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING 849 bool 850 851# 852# For architectures that prefer to flush all TLBs after a number of pages 853# are unmapped instead of sending one IPI per page to flush.
