This enables emulation of the legacy vsyscall page. Disabling
it is roughly equivalent to booting with vsyscall=none, except
that it will also disable the helpful warning if a program
tries to use a vsyscall. With this option set to N, offending
programs will just segfault, citing addresses of the form
0xffffffffff600?00.
This option is required by many programs built before 2013, and
care should be used even with newer programs if set to N.
Disabling this option saves about 7K of kernel size and
possibly 4K of additional runtime pagetable memory.

depends on KERNEL_RESOURCE_COUNTERS || !LINUX_3_18
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 tradeoffs 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
(but 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.
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 y if !SMALL_FLASH
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.

Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling

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
