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.

848 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
849
850 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
851 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
852 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
853 effective value to 25%.
854 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
855 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
856 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
857 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
858 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
859 that bucket.
860
861 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
862 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
863 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
864 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
865 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
866 precision.

1791 up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.

1874 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1875 by software and hardware.
1876
1877 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1878 use of generic tracepoints.
1879
1880 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1881 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1882 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1883 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1884 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1885 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1886 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1887
1888 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1889 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1890 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1891 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1892 capabilities on top of those.
