config KERNEL_MEMCG
bool "Memory Resource Controller for Control Groups"
default n
depends on KERNEL_RESOURCE_COUNTERS
help
Provides a memory resource controller that manages both anonymous
memory and page cache. (See Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt)
Note that setting this option increases fixed memory overhead
associated with each page of memory in the system. By this,
20(40)bytes/PAGE_SIZE on 32(64)bit system will be occupied by memory
usage tracking struct at boot. Total amount of this is printed out
at boot.
Only enable when you're ok with these trade offs and really
sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads.
(and lose benefits of memory resource controller)
This config option also selects MM_OWNER config option, which
could in turn add some fork/exit overhead.
config KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP
bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension"
default n
depends on KERNEL_MEMCG
help
Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you
enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words,
when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.
config KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP_ENABLED
bool "Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension enabled by default"
default n
depends on KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP
help
Memory Resource Controller Swap Extension comes with its price in
a bigger memory consumption. General purpose distribution kernels
which want to enable the feature but keep it disabled by default
and let the user enable it by swapaccount boot command line
parameter should have this option unselected.
For those who want to have the feature enabled by default should
select this option (if, for some reason, they need to disable it
then swapaccount=0 does the trick).
config KERNEL_MEMCG_KMEM
bool "Memory Resource Controller Kernel Memory accounting (EXPERIMENTAL)"
default n
depends on KERNEL_MEMCG
help
The Kernel Memory extension for Memory Resource Controller can limit
the amount of memory used by kernel objects in the system. Those are
fundamentally different from the entities handled by the standard
Memory Controller, which are page-based, and can be swapped. Users of
the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.
config KERNEL_CGROUP_PERF
bool "Enable perf_event per-cpu per-container group (cgroup) monitoring"

help
This option extends the per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring to
threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
designated cpu.
menuconfig KERNEL_CGROUP_SCHED

bandwidth allocation to such task groups. It uses cgroups to group
tasks.

bool "Group scheduling for SCHED_OTHER"

config KERNEL_CFS_BANDWIDTH
bool "CPU bandwidth provisioning for FAIR_GROUP_SCHED"

depends on KERNEL_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED
help
This option allows users to define CPU bandwidth rates (limits) for
tasks running within the fair group scheduler. Groups with no limit
set are considered to be unconstrained and will run with no
restriction.
See tip/Documentation/scheduler/sched-bwc.txt for more information.
config KERNEL_RT_GROUP_SCHED
bool "Group scheduling for SCHED_RR/FIFO"
default n
help
This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
realtime bandwidth for them.
endif
config KERNEL_BLK_CGROUP
bool "Block IO controller"
default y
help
Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling
policies.
Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.
This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For
enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y; for enabling throttling policy, set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=y.

say Y here. Otherwise, say N. If enabled, each mount of devpts
filesystem with the '-o newinstance' option will create an
independent PTY namespace.
config KERNEL_POSIX_MQUEUE
bool "POSIX Message Queues"
default n
help
POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
operations on message queues.

Note that disabling this may overcommit CPU resources depending on the
-j level of the main make process, the number of package
submake jobs selected below and the number of actual CPUs present.
Example: If the main make is passed a -j4 and the submake -j
is also set to 4, we may end up with 16 parallel make processes
in the worst case.
