174 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
175 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
176 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
177 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
178 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

181 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

703 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines

719 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
720 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
721 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
722 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
723
724 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
725 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
726 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
727 effective value to 25%.
728 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
729 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
730 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
731 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
732 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
733 that bucket.
734
735 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
736 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
737 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
738 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
739 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
740 precision.

1963 help
1964 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
1965 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
1966 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
1967 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
1968 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
1969 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
1970 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1971 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1972 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1973
1974 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1975 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1976 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1977 this).
