  	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 compier is updated
  	    include/linux/kconfig.h contains this option in the comment line so
  	    fixdep adds include/config/cc/version/text.h into the auto-generated
  	    dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig will touch it
  	    and then every file will be rebuilt.

  	  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.
  
  	  If in doubt, select 'gzip'

  	  Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
  	  system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
  	  exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
  	  and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
  	  you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
  	  DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
  	  you'll need to say Y here.
  
  	  You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in
  	  section 6.4 of the Linux Programmer's Guide, available from
  	  <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.

  	bool "Enable utilization clamping for RT/FAIR tasks"

  	help
  	  This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
  	  of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
  
  	  With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
  	  utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
  	  the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
  	  defines the minimum frequency it should use.
  
  	  Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
  	  aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
  	  enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.
  
  	  If in doubt, say N.
  
  config UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT
  	int "Number of supported utilization clamp buckets"
  	range 5 20
  	default 5
  	depends on UCLAMP_TASK
  	help
  	  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.

  	  This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
  	  of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
  
  	  When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
  	  CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
  	  The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
  	  can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
  	  frequency a task will always use.
  
  	  When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
  	  specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
  	  specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
  	  be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.

  	  Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
  	  OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
  	  sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare
  	  cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g.,
  	  names of variables from the data sections, etc).

  	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
  	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
  	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
  	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
  	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
  	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
  	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
  	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
  	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
  
  	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
  	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
  	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
  	  this).

  	  By default, all unused exported symbols will be un-exported from the
  	  build when TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.
  
  	  UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST allows to whitelist symbols that must be kept
  	  exported at all times, even in absence of in-tree users. The value to
  	  set here is the path to a text file containing the list of symbols,
  	  one per line. The path can be absolute, or relative to the kernel
  	  source tree.
