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.

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

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

835 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
836
837 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
838 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
839 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
840 effective value to 25%.
841 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
842 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
843 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
844 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
845 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
846 that bucket.
847
848 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
849 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
850 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
851 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
852 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
853 precision.

1048 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1049 frequency a task will always use.
