15 This is used in unclear ways:
16
17 - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
18 The 'default' property references the environment variable,
19 CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
20 When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
21
22 - Ensure full rebuild when the compier is updated
23 include/linux/kconfig.h contains this option in the comment line so
24 fixdep adds include/config/cc/version/text.h into the auto-generated
25 dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig will touch it
26 and then every file will be rebuilt.

208 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
209 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
210 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
211 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
212 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
213
214 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
215 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
216 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
217 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

802 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
803 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
804 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
805
806 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
807 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
808 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
809 effective value to 25%.
810 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
811 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
812 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
813 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
814 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
815 that bucket.
816
817 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
818 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
819 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
820 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
821 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
822 precision.

987 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
988 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
989
990 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
991 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
992 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
993 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
994 frequency a task will always use.
995
996 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
997 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
998 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
999 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.

1009 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

1050 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access

1929 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1930 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1931 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1932 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1933 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1934 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1935 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1936 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1937 command line.

1962 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average

1964 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1965 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1966 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1967 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1968 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the

1971 benefits on x86.

1973 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1974 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1975 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1976 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
