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 -0700346 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
347 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and

349 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if

714 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
715 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
716 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
717 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
718 e.g. backtraces.
719
720 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
721 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
722 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
723 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
724 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
Paul Menzel0f7636e12020-08-11 11:29:23 +0200725 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.

802 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
803 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
804 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
805
806 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
807 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
808 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
809 effective value to 25%.
810 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
811 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
812 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
813 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
814 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
815 that bucket.
816
817 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
818 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
819 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
820 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
821 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
822 precision.
823
824 If in doubt, use the default value.

1046 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1047 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1048 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1049 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1050 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1051 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1052 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1053 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1054 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.

2055 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2056 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2057 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2058 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2059 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2060 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2061 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2062 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2063 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2064
2065 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
2066 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
2067 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
2068 this).
