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
f9c8bc46 13 - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
ce6ed1c4 14 include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
0e0345b7 15 line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the
ce6ed1c4

237 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
238 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
239 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
240 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
241 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

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

1942 help
1943 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1944 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1945 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1946 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1947 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1948 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1949 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1950 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel
1951 command line.

1978 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1979 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1980 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1981 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1982 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the

1988 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1989 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
