8 - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
9 The 'default' property references the environment variable,
10 CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.

Bhaskar Chowdhuryf9c8bc42021-02-25 17:22:18 -080013 - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
Masahiro Yamadace6ed1c2021-03-04 20:37:08 +090014 include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment

726 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
727 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
728 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
729 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
730 e.g. backtraces.
731
732 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
733 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
734 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
735 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
736 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
Paul Menzel0f7636e12020-08-11 11:29:23 +0200737 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

813 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
814 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
815 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
816 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
817
818 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
819 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
820 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
821 effective value to 25%.
822 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
823 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
824 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
825 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
826 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
827 that bucket.
828
829 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
830 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
831 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
832 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
833 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
834 precision.
835
836 If in doubt, use the default value.

1058 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1059 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1060 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1061 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1062 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1063 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1064 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1065 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1066 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

2045 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2046 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2047 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2048 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2049 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2050 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2051 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2052 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2053 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2054
2055 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2056 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2057 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2058 this).
2059
