88b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	  - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
98b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    The 'default' property references the environment variable,
108b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
118b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada	    When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
128b59cd81SMasahiro Yamada
13f9c8bc46SBhaskar Chowdhury	  - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
14ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment
150e0345b7SAlexey Dobriyan	    line so fixdep adds include/config/CC_VERSION_TEXT into the
16ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    auto-generated dependency. When the compiler is updated, syncconfig
17ce6ed1c4SMasahiro Yamada	    will touch it and then every file will be rebuilt.

21633d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
21643d52ec5eSMatthias Maennich	  There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,

217717652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  set the path where that binary is found. This can be changed
217817652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  at runtime via the sysctl file
217917652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe. Setting this to the empty string
218017652f42SRasmus Villemoes	  removes the kernel's ability to request modules (but

2188dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants. Depending

2194dbacb0efSNicolas Pitre	  (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
