The max utilization defines 710 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization 711 defines the minimum frequency it should use. 712 713 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler, 714 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not 715 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks. 716 717 If in doubt, say N. 718 719config UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT 720 int "Number of supported utilization clamp buckets" 721 range 5 20 722 default 5 723 depends on UCLAMP_TASK 724 help 725 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket 726 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the 727 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher 728 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time. 729 730 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5 731 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will 732 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp 733 effective value to 25%. 734 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU, 735 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and 736 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%. 737 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value 738 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in 739 that bucket. 740 741 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the 742 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the 743 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems, 744 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of 745 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking 746 precision. 747 748 If in doubt, use the default value. 749 750endmenu 751 752# 753# For architectures that want to enable the support for NUMA-affine scheduler 754# balancing logic: 755# 756config ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING 757 bool 758 759# 760# For architectures that prefer to flush all TLBs after a number of pages 761# are unmapped instead of sending one IPI per page to flush.

You use the "modprobe" 1975 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here, 1976 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by 1977 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most 1978 useful for infrequently used options which are not required 1979 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for 1980 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod. 1981 1982 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make 1983 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/ 1984 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do 1985 this). 1986 1987 If unsure, say Y. 1988 1989if MODULES 1990 1991config MODULE_FORCE_LOAD 1992 bool "Forced module loading" 1993 default n 1994 help 1995 Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe 1996 --force).

This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users. 2015 If unsure, say N. 2016 2017config MODVERSIONS 2018 bool "Module versioning support" 2019 help 2020 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel. 2021 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules 2022 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information 2023 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would 2024 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running.

If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the 2068 module DOES NOT get stripped after being signed.

If you 2189 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually 2190 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using 2191 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the 2192 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a 2193 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why 2194 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for 2195 your module is. 2196 2197config TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS 2198 bool "Trim unused exported kernel symbols" 2199 depends on !UNUSED_SYMBOLS 2200 help 2201 The kernel and some modules make many symbols available for 2202 other modules to use via EXPORT_SYMBOL() and variants.
