Linux 2.6.31内核优化指南
介绍
本文档是一篇关于Linux Kernel 2.6.31的最简优化指南。作者旨在编译一份性能最佳且适合普通Application/Server开发用的内核。(非生产环境)
本文提及的内核调优，主要是通过选择最佳编译选项，删除无用驱动，减少内核尺寸，关闭部分安全特性等方式来进行的。
优化后的效果，主要体现在OS启动时间，启动后的内存占用以及应用程序运行性能。
由于作者水平有限，如果描述错误，还请不吝指教。

作者是在虚拟机中编译的内核，如果你与作者的运行环境不同，则本文档中的部分描述可能会与你的实际情况有一定出入。
不过，相信大部分用户在看到选项释义时，能做出适合自己的选择。
说明
下列选项中，通过 "// " 注释的行，代表金国步写的内核选项简介中未提及的选项释义。
通过红色 "<===" 注释的行，代表内核默认开启，本文档推荐关闭的选项，释义部分会给出关闭的理由。
