62823b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
62923b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
63023b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
63123b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

63323b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez
63423b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
63523b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
63623b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
63723b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
63823b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
63923b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
64023b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez
64123b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
64223b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

64423b2899fSLuis R. Rodriguez	  The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
6455e0d8d59SGeert Uytterhoeven	  hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case
