In commit 8b202ee218 ("s390: disable -Warray-bounds") the s390 people
disabled the '-Warray-bounds' warning for gcc-12, because the new logic
in gcc would cause warnings for their use of the S390_lowcore macro,
which accesses absolute pointers.
It turns out gcc-12 has many other issues in this area, so this takes
that s390 warning disable logic, and turns it into a kernel build config
entry instead.
Part of the intent is that we can make this all much more targeted, and
use this conflig flag to disable it in only particular configurations
that cause problems, with the s390 case as an example:
select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS
and we could do that for other configuration cases that cause issues.
Or we could possibly use the CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS thing in a more
targeted way, and disable the warning only for particular uses: again
the s390 case as an example:
KBUILD_CFLAGS_DECOMPRESSOR += $(if $(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS),-Wno-array-bounds)
but this ends up just doing it globally in the top-level Makefile, since
the current issues are spread fairly widely all over:
KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS) += -Wno-array-bounds
We'll try to limit this later, since the gcc-12 problems are rare enough
that *much* of the kernel can be built with it without disabling this
warning.

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.

The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.

Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,

Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket

|
|
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.

Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a

cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the

cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
|
|
is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a

conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
|
|
system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
|
|
PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
|
|
to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,

HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know

|
The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for
|
|
other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending
|
|
on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
|
|
many of those exported symbols might never be used.
|
|
|
|
This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
|
|
the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
|
|
(especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
|
|
binary size. This might have some security advantages as well.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, or if you need to build out-of-tree modules, say N.

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.

Back when each arch used to define their own cpu_online_mask and
|
|
cpu_possible_mask, some of them chose to initialize cpu_possible_mask
|
|
with all 1s, and others with all 0s. When they were centralised,
|
|
it was better to provide this option than to break all the archs
|
|
and have several arch maintainers pursuing me down dark alleys.
