15 This is used in unclear ways:
16
17 - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
18 The 'default' property references the environment variable,
19 CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
20 When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
21
22 - Ensure full rebuild when the compier is updated
23 include/linux/kconfig.h contains this option in the comment line so
24 fixdep adds include/config/cc/version/text.h into the auto-generated
25 dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig will touch it
26 and then every file will be rebuilt.

209 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
210 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
211 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
212 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
213 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

216 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
217 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
218 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

813 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
814 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
815
816 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
817 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
818 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
819 effective value to 25%.
820 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
821 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
822 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
823 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
824 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
825 that bucket.
826
827 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
828 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
829 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
830 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
831 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
832 precision.

997 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
998 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
999
1000 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1001 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1002 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1003 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1004 frequency a task will always use.

1006 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1007 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1008 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot

1928 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1929 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1930 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1931 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1932 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1933 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1934 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1935 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1936 command line.

1963 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1964 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1965 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental

1967 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the

1973 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1974 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
