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

747 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
748
749 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
750 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
751 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
752 effective value to 25%.
753 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
754 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
755 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
756 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
757 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
758 that bucket.
759
760 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
761 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
762 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
763 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
764 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
765 precision.

945 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
946 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
947 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
948 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
949 frequency a task will always use.
950
951 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
952 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
953 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
954 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.

958config CGROUP_PIDS
959 bool "PIDs controller"
960 help
961 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
962 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
963 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
964 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
965 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
966 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
967 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
968
969 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
970 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
971 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to

1001 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1002 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1003 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1004 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1005 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1006 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1007 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The

2137 Compresses kernel modules when 'make modules_install' is run; gzip or
2138 xz depending on "Compression algorithm" below.
2139
2140 module-init-tools MAY support gzip, and kmod MAY support gzip and xz.
2141
2142 Out-of-tree kernel modules installed using Kbuild will also be
2143 compressed upon installation.
2144
2145 Note: for modules inside an initrd or initramfs, it's more efficient
2146 to compress the whole initrd or initramfs instead.
2147
2148 Note: This is fully compatible with signed modules.

2171 bool "Allow loading of modules with missing namespace imports"
2172 help
2173 Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2174 a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2175 namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2176 There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
2177 but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
2178 users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
2179 requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2187 Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
2188 that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
2189 option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
2190 some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
2191 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
2192 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
2193 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
2194 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
2195 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
2196 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
2197 your module is.

2201 depends on !UNUSED_SYMBOLS
2202 help
2203 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
2204 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
2205 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2206 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2207
2208 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2209 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2210 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
2211 binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
