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.

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
261 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

843 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
844 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
845
846 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
847 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
848 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
849 effective value to 25%.
850 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
851 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
852 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
853 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
854 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
855 that bucket.
856
857 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
858 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
859 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
860 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
861 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
862 precision.
863
864 If in doubt, use the default value.
