6 This is used in unclear ways:
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
ce6ed1c4

17 will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

252 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
253 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
254 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
255 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
256 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

259 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
260 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was

848 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
849
850 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
851 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
852 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
853 effective value to 25%.
854 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
855 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
856 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
857 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
858 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
859 that bucket.
860
861 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
862 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
863 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
864 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
865 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
866 precision.

1943 This allows other Rust-related options, like drivers written in Rust,
1944 to be selected.

1946 It is also required to be able to load external kernel modules
1947 written in Rust.

1992 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
1993 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask

1994 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1995 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
