   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.

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

 817
 818          For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5

 822          If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
 823          that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
 824          it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
 825          The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
 826          (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
 827          that bucket.
 828
 829          An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the

1806          Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1807          counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1808          types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1809          suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the

1811          when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1812          used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

2094          compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
2095          to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
2096          make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.  If
