   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.

 283	  The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
 284	  Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
 285	  in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
 286	  Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
 287	  Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
 288
 289	  If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
 290	  kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
 291	  version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
 292	  supplied by Christian Ludwig)

 312	  Decompression speed is slowest among the choices.  The kernel
 313	  size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
 314	  Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you

 326	bool "XZ"

 329	  XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
 330	  BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
 331	  code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
 332	  comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
 333	  filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, ARM64, RISC-V, big endian PowerPC,
 334	  and SPARC), XZ will create a few percent smaller kernel than
 335	  plain LZMA.
 336
 337	  The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
 338	  speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip

 355	  <https://code.google.com/p/lz4/>.

 365	  ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
 366	  with fast decompression speed. It will compress better than GZIP and
 367	  decompress around the same speed as LZO, but slower than LZ4. You
 368	  will need at least 192 KB RAM or more for booting. The zstd command

 376	  you want. It is useful for debugging the kernel in slow simulation
 377	  environments, where decompressing and moving the kernel is awfully

 852	  number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
 853	  the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
 854
 855	  For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
 856	  clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
 857	  be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
 858	  effective value to 25%.
 859	  If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
 860	  that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
 861	  it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
 862	  The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
 863	  (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
 864	  that bucket.
 865
 866	  An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
 867	  example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
 868	  CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
 869	  it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
 870	  clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
