7
8 - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
9 The 'default' property references the environment variable,
10 CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
11 When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
12
f9c8bc46 13 - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
ce6ed1c4 14 include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
0e0345b7 15 line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the

216 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
217 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
218 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
219 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
220 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

223 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
224 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
225 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

793 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
794 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
795 defines the minimum frequency it should use.

810 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
811 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
812 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
813
814 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
815 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
816 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
817 effective value to 25%.
818 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
819 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
820 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
821 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
822 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
823 that bucket.
824
825 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
826 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
827 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
828 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
829 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
830 precision.

993 default n
994 help
995 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
996 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
997
998 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
999 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1000 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1001 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1002 frequency a task will always use.
1003
1004 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1005 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1006 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1007 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.

1013 help
1014 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1015 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1016 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1017 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1018 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1019 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
6cc578df 1020 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.

1054 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1055 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1056 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1057 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1058 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1059 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1060 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1061 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means

1940 bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
1941 default y
1942 help
1943 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1944 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1945 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1946 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1947 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1948 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1949 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1950 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1951 command line.

1976 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average
1977 utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section
1978 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1979 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1980 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1981 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1982 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
1983 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
1984 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
1985 benefits on x86.

1987 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1988 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1989 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1990 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
