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

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

819 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
820 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
821
822 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
823 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
824 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
825 effective value to 25%.
826 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
827 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
828 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
829 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
830 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
831 that bucket.
832
833 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
834 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
835 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
836 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
837 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
838 precision.
839

1942 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
1943 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask

1944 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1945 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
692105b8 1946 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.

1963 functions to call on what tags.
