|
=== kernel-debug ===
|
|
A Debug Version of the Kernel
|
|
|
|
This kernel has several debug facilities enabled that hurt performance.
|
|
Only use this kernel when investigating problems.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-default ===
|
|
The Standard Kernel
|
|
|
|
The standard kernel for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-kvmsmall ===
|
|
The Small Developer Kernel for KVM
|
|
|
|
This kernel is intended for kernel developers to use in simple virtual
|
|
machines. It contains only the device drivers necessary to use a
|
|
KVM virtual machine *without* device passthrough enabled. Common
|
|
local and network file systems are enabled. All device mapper targets
|
|
are enabled. Only the network and graphics drivers for devices that qemu
|
|
emulates are enabled. Many subsystems enabled in the default kernel
|
|
are entirely disabled. This kernel is meant to be small and to build
|
|
very quickly. The configuration may change arbitrarily between builds.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-azure ===
|
|
Kernel for MS Azure cloud
|
|
|
|
Kernel for use in the MS Azure cloud and other Hyper-V based virtualization
|
|
solutions.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-pae ===
|
|
Kernel with PAE Support
|
|
|
|
This kernel supports up to 64GB of main memory. It requires Physical
|
|
Addressing Extensions (PAE), which were introduced with the Pentium Pro
|
|
processor.
|
|
|
|
PAE is not only more physical address space but also important for the
|
|
"no execute" feature which disables execution of code that is marked as
|
|
non-executable. Therefore, the PAE kernel should be used on any systems
|
|
that support it, regardless of the amount of main memory.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-vanilla ===
|
|
The Standard Kernel - without any SUSE patches
|
|
|
|
The standard kernel - without any SUSE patches
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-64kb ===
|
|
Kernel with 64kb PAGE_SIZE
|
|
|
|
This kernel is identical to the default kernel, but is configured with
|
|
64kb page size granule. Its main purpose is to serve as compatibility
|
|
kernel for systems that were installed when the default kernel was still
|
|
configured with 64kb page size granule.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-lpae ===
|
|
Kernel for LPAE enabled systems
|
|
|
|
The kernel for all 32-bit ARM platforms that support LPAE. This includes all
|
|
Cortex A15 based SoCs, like the Exynos5, OMAP5 or Calxeda ECX-2000.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-preempt ===
|
|
Kernel with PREEMPT support
|
|
|
|
The kernel for arm64 and x86_64 architectures that supports CONFIG_PREEMPT. Its
|
|
main purpose is to serve workloads with a higher demand on smaller latencies
|
|
than the default kernel in average.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-syzkaller ===
|
|
Kernel used for fuzzing by syzkaller
|
|
|
|
The syzkaller kernel should be used solely in a virtual machine by
|
|
syzkaller only. It supports kernel coverage and enables a lot of slow
|
|
debugging options.
|
|
|
|
=== kernel-zfcpdump ===
|
|
The IBM System Z zfcpdump Kernel
|
|
|
|
The Linux kernel for booting the zfcpdump process on IBM System Z.
|
|
|
|
This kernel should only be used by the s390-tools package. This kernel
|
|
should not be installed as a regular booting kernel.
|
|
|
|
=== cluster-md-kmp ===
|
|
Summary: Clustering support for MD devices
|
|
Requires: dlm-kmp
|
|
|
|
Clustering support for MD devices. This enables locking and
|
|
synchronization across multiple systems on the cluster, so all
|
|
nodes in the cluster can access the MD devices simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
=== dlm-kmp ===
|
|
DLM kernel modules
|
|
|
|
DLM stands for Distributed Lock Manager, a means to synchronize access to
|
|
shared resources over the cluster.
|
|
|
|
=== gfs2-kmp ===
|
|
Summary: GFS2 kernel modules
|
|
Requires: dlm-kmp
|
|
|
|
GFS2 is Global Filesystem, a shared device filesystem.
|
|
|
|
=== ocfs2-kmp ===
|
|
Summary: OCFS2 kernel modules
|
|
Requires: dlm-kmp
|
|
|
|
OCFS2 is the Oracle Cluster Filesystem, a filesystem for shared devices
|
|
accessible simultaneously from multiple nodes of a cluster.
|
|
|
|
=== kselftests-kmp ===
|
|
Kernel sefltests
|
|
|
|
This package contains kernel modules which are part of the upstream kernel
|
|
selftest effort. kselftest is the name of the upstream kernel target to build
|
|
and run all selftests. You can also run each test individually from the
|
|
respective upstream tools/testing/selftests/ directory, this package is
|
|
intended to be used using individial upstream selftest scripts given only
|
|
select supported selftest drivers are enabled.
|
|
|
|
It should always be possible to always run the latest linux-next version of the
|
|
selftest scripts and tests against any older kernel selftest driver. Certain
|
|
tests facilities may be backported onto older kernels to enable further
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
Selftests also provide for a vehicle or proof of concept issues to be
|
|
reproduced, verified and corrected.
|
|
|
|
Selftest drivers are intended to be supported only in testing and QA
|
|
environments, they are not intended to be run on production systems.
|
|
|
|
=== reiserfs-kmp ===
|
|
Reiserfs kernel module
|
|
|
|
The reiserfs file system is no longer supported in SLE15. This package
|
|
provides the reiserfs module for the installation system.
