buildroot: split Kernel config options to Config-kernel.in
The number of Linux kernel related config options has become quite big over the past few months, they deserve their own Config-kernel.in file. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <florian@openwrt.org> SVN-Revision: 38524

- 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

- config KERNEL_MEMCG_SWAP

- Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you

- 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.

- 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

- 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.

- POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message

- operations on message queues.
