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 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
849 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring

920 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
921
922 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
923 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
924 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
925 effective value to 25%.
926 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
927 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
928 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
929 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
930 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
931 that bucket.
932
933 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
934 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
935 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
936 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
937 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
938 precision.

2169 that it doesn't unmap/remap system mappings during the life
2170 time of the process. The existence of this flag for an architecture
2171 implies that it does not require the remapping of the system
2172 mappings during process lifetime, so sealing these mappings is safe

2371# It may be useful for an architecture to override the definitions of the
2372# SYSCALL_DEFINE() and __SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros in <linux/syscalls.h>
2373# and the COMPAT_ variants in <linux/compat.h>, in particular to use a
2374# different calling convention for syscalls. They can also override the
2375# macros for not-implemented syscalls in kernel/sys_ni.c and
2376# kernel/time/posix-stubs.c. All these overrides need to be available in
2377# <asm/syscall_wrapper.h>.
