559 that reflects the reduction in CPU compute capacity resulted from

561 a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures.

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

759 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring

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.

1775 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1776 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1777 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only if you want to
1778 enable kernel live patching, or other less common use cases (e.g.,
1779 when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (i.e., names of
1780 variables from the data sections, etc).
1781
1782 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1783 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1784 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1785 something like this).

1799 Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
1800 emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
1801 each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
1802 or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
1803 an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
1804 range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
1805 address encountered in the image.
1806
1807 On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
1808 but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
1809 time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
1810 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.

1842 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1843 by software and hardware.
1844
1845 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1846 use of generic tracepoints.
1847
1848 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1849 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1850 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1851 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1852 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1853 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1854 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1855
1856 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1857 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1858 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1859 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1860 capabilities on top of those.
