help
|

This is used in unclear ways:
|
|
|
|
- Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
|
|
The 'default' property references the environment variable,
|
|
CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
|
|
When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
|
|
|
|
- Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
|
|
include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
|
|
line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the
|
|
auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig
|
|
will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.

Several compression algorithms are available, which differ

in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.

Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.

Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
|

kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older

version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was

Select this option to enable thermal pressure accounting in the

thermal throttling. Thermal throttling occurs when the performance of

a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures.

lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket

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

help

Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
|
|
cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
|
|
is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
|
|
system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
|
|
PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
|
|
to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,

HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know

Enable kernel support for various performance events provided

Software events are supported either built-in or via the

|
use of generic tracepoints.
|
|
|
|
Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
|
|
counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
|
|
types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
|
|
suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
|
|
kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
|
|
when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
|
|
used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
|
|
|
|
The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
|
|
these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
|
|
system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
|
|
provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
|
|
capabilities on top of those.
