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.

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700343 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
344 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and

711 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
712 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
713 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
714 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
715 e.g. backtraces.
716
717 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
718 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
719 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
720 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
721 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
Paul Menzel0f7636e12020-08-11 11:29:23 +0200722 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

799 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
800 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
801 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
802
803 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
804 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
805 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
806 effective value to 25%.
807 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
808 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
809 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
810 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
811 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
812 that bucket.
813
814 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
815 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
816 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
817 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
818 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
819 precision.
820
821 If in doubt, use the default value.

1043 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1044 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1045 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1046 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1047 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1048 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1049 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1050 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1051 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

2046 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2047 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2048 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2049 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2050 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2051 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2052 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2053 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2054 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2055
2056 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2057 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2058 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2059 this).
