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
16 auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig
17 will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

261 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
262 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
263 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
264 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
265 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

753 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

829 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
830 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
831
832 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
833 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
834 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
835 effective value to 25%.
836 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
837 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
838 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
839 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
840 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
841 that bucket.
842
843 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
844 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
845 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
846 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
847 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
848 precision.
849

1961 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
