165 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
166 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
167 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
168 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
169 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

686 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
687 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
688
689 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
690 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
691 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
692 defines the minimum frequency it should use.

696 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.

706 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
707 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
708 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
709 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
710
711 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
712 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
713 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
714 effective value to 25%.
715 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
716 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
717 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
718 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
719 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
720 that bucket.
721
722 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
723 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
724 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
725 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
726 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
727 precision.
728
729 If in doubt, use the default value.

1966 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1967 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1968 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1969 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1970 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1971 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1972 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

2092 help
2093 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2094 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2095 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2096 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2097
2098 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2099 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2100 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2101 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
