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 -0700347 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
348 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and

350 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
351 you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the

715 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
716 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
717 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
718 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
719 e.g. backtraces.
720
721 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
722 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
723 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
724 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
725 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
Paul Menzel0f7636e12020-08-11 11:29:23 +0200726 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

803 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
804 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
805 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
806
807 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
808 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
809 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
810 effective value to 25%.
811 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
812 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
813 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
814 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
815 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
816 that bucket.
817
818 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
819 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
820 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
821 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
822 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
823 precision.
824
825 If in doubt, use the default value.

1047 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1048 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1049 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1050 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1051 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1052 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1053 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1054 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1055 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1359 This can reduce on disk and in-memory size of the kernel
1360 code and static data, particularly for small configs and
1361 on small systems. This has the possibility of introducing

2067 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2068 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2069 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2070 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2071 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2072 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2073 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2074 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2075 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2076
2077 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2078 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2079 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2080 this).
