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.

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
871 precision.

1897 Software events are supported either built-in or via the

1899
1900 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1901 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1902 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1903 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1904 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1905 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1906 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1907
1908 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1909 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1910 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It

1557 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1558 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1559 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If
1560 unsure, say N.

1562config MODULE_SRCVERSION_ALL
1563 bool "Source checksum for all modules"
1564 help
1565 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1566 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1567 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1568 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1569 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1570 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1571 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

1575config INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE
1576 bool
1577 help
1578 Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
1579 cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
1580 with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
1581 it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
1582 and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
