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

710 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
711 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
712 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
713 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
714 e.g. backtraces.
715
716 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
717 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
718 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
719 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
720 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
721 so that more than 64 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
722
723 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
724 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.

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

1042 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1043 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1044 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1045 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1046 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1047 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1048 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1049 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1050 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1905 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be

1907 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to

2042 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2043 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2044 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2045 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2046 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2047 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2048 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2049 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2050 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2051
2052 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2053 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2054 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2055 this).
2056
