   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.

 233          The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
 234          Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
 235          in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
 236          Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
 237          Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

 239          If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
 240          kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

 841          Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
 842          will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
 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.

1834          Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
