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.

653 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
654 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
655 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
656 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
657 e.g. backtraces.
658
659 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
660 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
661 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
662 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
663 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
664 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
665
666 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is

720 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
721 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
722
723 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
724 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
725 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
726 defines the minimum frequency it should use.
727
728 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
729 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
730 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.

740 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
741 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
742 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
743 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
744
745 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
746 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
747 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
748 effective value to 25%.
749 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
750 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
751 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
752 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
753 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
754 that bucket.
755
756 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
757 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
758 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
759 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
760 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
761 precision.
762
763 If in doubt, use the default value.

1749 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1750 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
Thomas Gleixner0793a612008-12-04 20:12:29 +01001751 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1752 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1753 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1754 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1755 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.

2039 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
2040 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
2041 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
2042 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
