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
MY

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

242 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
243 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
244 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
245 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
246 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

838 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
839 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
840
841 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
842 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
843 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
844 effective value to 25%.
845 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
846 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
847 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
848 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
849 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
850 that bucket.
851
852 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
853 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
854 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
855 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
856 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
857 precision.
858

975 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
976 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in

1930 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1931 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

1933 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1934 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
