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.

205 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
206 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
207 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
208 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
209 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

514 Select this option to enable thermal pressure accounting in the

516 that reflects the reduction in CPU compute capacity resulted from
517 thermal throttling. Thermal throttling occurs when the performance of
518 a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures.
519
520 If selected, the scheduler will be able to balance tasks accordingly,
521 i.e. put less load on throttled CPUs than on non/less throttled ones.

718 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems

782 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines

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

984 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
985 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
986
987 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
988 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
989 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
990 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
991 frequency a task will always use.
992
993 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
994 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
995 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
996 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.

1002 help
1003 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1004 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1005 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1006 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1007 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1008 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The

1047 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access

1941 help
1942 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average
1943 utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section
1944 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1945 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1946 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1947 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1948 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
1949 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
1950 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
1951 benefits on x86.
1952
1953 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1954 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1955 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1956 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
1957 Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
1958 'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.

2046 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

2054 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
