| 560 | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size |

| 563 | lines however it might be much more when problems are reported, |
| 564 | e.g. backtraces. |

| 566 | The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and |

| 1551 | |
| 1552 | Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance |

| 1554 | types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses |
| 1555 | suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the |

| 1560 | The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of |
| 1561 | these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a |
