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.
11 When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
12
13 - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
14 include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
15 line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the
16 auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig
17 will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

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

756 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
757 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
758 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
759 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring

830 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
831
832 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
833 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
834 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
835 effective value to 25%.
836 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
837 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
838 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
839 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
840 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
841 that bucket.
842
843 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
844 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
845 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
846 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
847 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
848 precision.

1796 help
1797 Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
1798 emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
1799 each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
1800 or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
1801 an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
1802 range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
1803 address encountered in the image.
1804
1805 On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
1806 but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
1807 time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
1808 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.

1840 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1841 by software and hardware.
1842
1843 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1844 use of generic tracepoints.
1845
1846 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1847 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1848 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1849 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1850 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1851 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1852 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1853
1854 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1855 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1856 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1857 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1858 capabilities on top of those.
