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
Alexey Dobriyan0e0345b2021-04-15 20:36:07 +030015 line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the

740 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
741 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
742 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
743 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
744 e.g. backtraces.
745
746 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
747 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
748 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
749 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
750 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
Paul Menzel0f7636e12020-08-11 11:29:23 +0200751 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

821 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
822 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
823
824 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
825 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
826 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
827 defines the minimum frequency it should use.
828
829 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
830 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
831 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.

841 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
842 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
843 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
844 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
845
846 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
847 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
848 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
849 effective value to 25%.
850 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
851 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
852 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
853 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
854 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
855 that bucket.
856
857 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
858 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
859 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
860 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
861 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
862 precision.
863
864 If in doubt, use the default value.

1031 help
1032 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
1033 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
1034
1035 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1036 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1037 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1038 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1039 frequency a task will always use.
1040
1041 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1042 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1043 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1044 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.

1050 help
1051 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1052 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1053 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1054 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1055 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1056 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
Parav Pandit6cc578d2016-03-05 11:30:56 +05301057 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.

Jonathan Neuschäfer98076832019-02-01 14:21:01 -08001060 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
Johannes Weiner6bf024e2015-12-17 17:19:57 -05001061 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1062 attach to a cgroup.

1092 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1093 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1094 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1095 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1096 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1097 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1098 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1099 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

1936 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to

2071 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2072 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2073 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2074 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2075 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2076 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2077 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2078 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2079 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2080
2081 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2082 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2083 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2084 this).

2374 Build a simple ASN.1 grammar compiler that produces a bytecode output
2375 that can be interpreted by the ASN.1 stream decoder and used to
2376 inform it as to what tags are to be expected in a stream and what
2377 functions to call on what tags.
