   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
  13          - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
  14            include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
  15            line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the
  16            auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig
  17            will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

 216          The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
 217          Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
 218          in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
 219          Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
 220          Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
 221
 222          If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
 223          kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
 224          version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
 225          supplied by Christian Ludwig)

 812          number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
 813          the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
 814
 815          For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
 816          clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
 817          be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
 818          effective value to 25%.
 819          If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
 820          that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
 821          it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
 822          The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
 823          (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
 824          that bucket.
 825
 826          An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
 827          example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
 828          CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
 829          it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
 830          clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
 831          precision.

1803          Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1804          counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1805          types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1806          suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the

1808          when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1809          used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

2284          This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
