401 Say Y here to enable the kernel to act as a watchdog to detect

403
404 Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
405 mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
406 chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon
407 detection and the system will stay locked up.

410 for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
411 chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
412 and the system will stay locked up.
413
414 The overhead should be minimal. A periodic hrtimer runs to
415 generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
416 An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.

653 sure you need the memory resource controller. Even when you enable
654 this, you can set "cgroup_disable=memory" at your boot option to
655 disable memory resource controller and you can avoid overheads
656 (but lose benefits of memory resource controller).

666 Add swap management feature to memory resource controller. When you
667 enable this, you can limit mem+swap usage per cgroup. In other words,
668 when you disable this, memory resource controller has no cares to
669 usage of swap...a process can exhaust all of the swap. This extension
670 is useful when you want to avoid exhaustion swap but this itself
671 adds more overheads and consumes memory for remembering information.
672 Especially if you use 32bit system or small memory system, please
673 be careful about enabling this. When memory resource controller
674 is disabled by boot option, this will be automatically disabled and
675 there will be no overhead from this. Even when you set this config=y,
676 if boot option "swapaccount=0" is set, swap will not be accounted.
677 Now, memory usage of swap_cgroup is 2 bytes per entry. If swap page
678 size is 4096bytes, 512k per 1Gbytes of swap.
