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.

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

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

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

846 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
847
848 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
849 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
850 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
851 effective value to 25%.
852 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
853 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
854 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
855 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
856 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
857 that bucket.
858
859 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
860 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
861 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
862 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
863 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
864 precision.
