| + | ==== EFI ==== | ||
| + | [[https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/A/ident/CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME|EFI runtime services are disabled]] because using them may case high latencies. This includes accessing the RTC device or updating the variables. | ||
| + | If you need to use the EFI runtime services add **efi=runtime** to the kernel command line. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Memory compaction ==== | ||
| + | With CONFIG_COMPACTION=y the kernel may change the physical address for an existing virtual address. This may lead to a minor page fault and may happen even to pages which are protected with //mlock()//. | ||
