19 CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.

24 line so fixdep adds include/config/cc/version/text.h into the

213 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
214 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
215 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
216 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
217 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
218
219 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
220 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
221 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
222 supplied by Christian Ludwig)
223

225 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
226 size matters less.

790 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
791 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
792 defines the minimum frequency it should use.

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

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

1010 help
1011 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1012 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1013 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1014 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1015 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1016 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The

1051 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1052 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1053 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1054 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1055 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1056 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1057 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The

1953 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average
1954 utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section
1955 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1956 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1957 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1958 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1959 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
1960 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
1961 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
1962 benefits on x86.
1963
1964 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1965 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1966 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1967 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
1968 Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
1969 'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.
