| 18 | The 'default' property references the environment variable, |
| 19 | CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd. |

| 247 | help |
| 248 | XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific |
| 249 | BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable |
| 250 | code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in |
| 251 | comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ |
| 252 | filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ |
| 253 | will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA. |
| 254 | |
| 255 | The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression |
| 256 | speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip |
| 257 | and LZO. Compression is slow. |

| 695 | This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size |

| 768 | defines the minimum frequency it should use. |

| 784 | number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher |
| 785 | the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time. |
| 786 | |
| 787 | For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5 |
| 788 | clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will |
| 789 | be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp |
| 790 | effective value to 25%. |
| 791 | If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU, |
| 792 | that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and |
| 793 | it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%. |
| 794 | The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value |
| 795 | (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in |
| 796 | that bucket. |
| 797 | |
| 798 | An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the |
| 799 | example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the |
| 800 | CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems, |
| 801 | it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of |
| 802 | clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking |
| 803 | precision. |
