config CC_VERSION_TEXT
string
default "$(CC_VERSION_TEXT)"
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.

In particular, the Makefile target 'rustavailable' is useful to check
why the Rust toolchain is not being detected.

Select this to move thread_info off the stack into task_struct. To
make this work, an arch will need to remove all thread_info fields

One subtle change that will be needed is to use try_get_task_stack()
and put_task_stack() in save_thread_stack_tsk() and get_wchan().

depends on HAS_IOMEM
help
Some drivers can be compiled on a different platform than they are
intended to be run on. Despite they cannot be loaded there (or even
when they load they cannot be used due to missing HW support),
developers still, opposing to distributors, might want to build such
drivers to compile-test them.
If you are a developer and want to build everything available, say Y
here. If you are a user/distributor, say N here to exclude useless
drivers to be distributed.
config WERROR
bool "Compile the kernel with warnings as errors"
default COMPILE_TEST
help
A kernel build should not cause any compiler warnings, and this
enables the '-Werror' (for C) and '-Dwarnings' (for Rust) flags
to enforce that rule by default. Certain warnings from other tools
such as the linker may be upgraded to errors with this option as
well.
However, if you have a new (or very old) compiler or linker with odd
and unusual warnings, or you have some architecture with problems,
you may need to disable this config option in order to
successfully build the kernel.
If in doubt, say Y.

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
supplied by Christian Ludwig)
High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
size matters less.

help
Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
config KERNEL_LZMA

XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, ARM64, RISC-V, big endian PowerPC,
and SPARC), XZ will create a few percent smaller kernel than
plain LZMA.
The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
and LZO. Compression is slow.
config KERNEL_LZO

LZ4 is an LZ77-type compressor with a fixed, byte-oriented encoding.
A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at

ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
with fast decompression speed. It will compress better than GZIP and

pressure statistics files cpu, memory, and io. These will indicate
the share of walltime in which some or all tasks in the system are
delayed due to contention of the respective resource.
In kernels with cgroup support, cgroups (cgroup2 only) will

This feature adds some code to the task wakeup and sleep
paths of the scheduler. The overhead is too low to affect
common scheduling-intense workloads in practice (such as

This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
e.g. backtraces.
The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case
scenario while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.
Examples shift values and their meaning:
17 => 128 KB for each CPU

14 => 16 KB for each CPU
13 => 8 KB for each CPU

Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
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.
