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

Masahiro Yamadace6ed1c2021-03-04 20:37:08 +090023 include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
24 line so fixdep adds include/config/cc/version/text.h into the

731 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size

733 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
734 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
735 e.g. backtraces.
736
737 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
738 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
739 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
740 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
741 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set

819 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
820 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
821 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
822
823 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
824 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
825 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
826 effective value to 25%.
827 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
828 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
829 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
830 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
831 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
832 that bucket.
833
834 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
835 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
836 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
837 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
838 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
839 precision.
840
841 If in doubt, use the default value.

1064 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1065 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1066 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1067 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1068 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1069 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The

2069 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2070 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2071 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2072 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2073 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2074 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2075 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2076 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2077 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2078
2079 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2080 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2081 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2082 this).
