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
1898 use of generic tracepoints.
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

1647 Software events are supported either built-in or via the

1649
1650 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1651 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1652 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1653 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1654 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1655 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1656 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

1658 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1659 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
