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.

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.

1834 help
1835 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1836 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1837 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only if you want to
1838 enable kernel live patching, or other less common use cases (e.g.,
1839 when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (i.e., names of
1840 variables from the data sections, etc).
1841
1842 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1843 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1844 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1845 something like this).
1846
1847 Say N unless you really need all symbols, or kernel live patching.

1883 help
1884 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1885 by software and hardware.
1886
1887 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1888 use of generic tracepoints.
1889
1890 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1891 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1892 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1893 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1894 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1895 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1896 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1897
1898 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1899 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1900 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1901 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1902 capabilities on top of those.
