8 - Re-run Kconfig when the compiler is updated
9 The 'default' property references the environment variable,
10 CC_VERSION_TEXT so it is recorded in include/config/auto.conf.cmd.
11 When the compiler is updated, Kconfig will be invoked.
13 - Ensure full rebuild when the compiler is updated
14 include/linux/compiler-version.h contains this option in the comment

286 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
287 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
288 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
289 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
290 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
292 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
293 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
294 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
295 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

298 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
301 If in doubt, select 'gzip'
305 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP
307 The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance
308 between compression ratio and decompression speed.
312 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2
314 Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
315 Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
316 size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
317 Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
318 will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
322 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
324 This compression algorithm's ratio is best. Decompression speed
325 is between gzip and bzip2. Compression is slowest.
326 The kernel size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
330 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
332 XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
333 BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
334 code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
335 comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
336 filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, ARM64, RISC-V, big endian PowerPC,
337 and SPARC), XZ will create a few percent smaller kernel than
340 The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
341 speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
342 and LZO. Compression is slow.
346 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
348 Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
349 size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
350 (both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
354 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZ4
356 LZ4 is an LZ77-type compressor with a fixed, byte-oriented encoding.
357 A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at
358 <https://code.google.com/p/lz4/>.
360 Its compression ratio is worse than LZO. The size of the kernel
361 is about 8% bigger than LZO. But the decompression speed is
366 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD
368 ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
369 with fast decompression speed. It will compress better than GZIP and
370 decompress around the same speed as LZO, but slower than LZ4. You
371 will need at least 192 KB RAM or more for booting. The zstd command
372 line tool is required for compression.
374 config KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
376 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
378 Produce uncompressed kernel image. This option is usually not what
379 you want. It is useful for debugging the kernel in slow simulation
380 environments, where decompressing and moving the kernel is awfully
381 slow. This option allows early boot code to skip the decompressor
382 and jump right at uncompressed kernel image.
387 string "Default init path"
390 This option determines the default init for the system if no init=
391 option is passed on the kernel command line. If the requested path is
392 not present, we will still then move on to attempting further
393 locations (e.g. /sbin/init, etc). If this is empty, we will just use
394 the fallback list when init= is not passed.
396 config DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
397 string "Default hostname"
400 This option determines the default system hostname before userspace
401 calls sethostname(2). The kernel traditionally uses "(none)" here,
402 but you may wish to use a different default here to make a minimal
403 system more usable with less configuration.
408 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
409 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
410 exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
411 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
412 you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
413 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
414 you'll need to say Y here.
416 You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in

434 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
435 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
436 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
437 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
438 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.

471 to directly read from or write to another process' address space.
472 See the man page for more details.

479 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
480 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
481 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
482 running glibc can safely disable this.
485 bool "Auditing support"

585 that reflects the reduction in CPU compute capacity resulted from
586 HW throttling. HW throttling occurs when the performance of
587 a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures as an example.
589 If selected, the scheduler will be able to balance tasks accordingly,
590 i.e. put less load on throttled CPUs than on non/less throttled ones.

596 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
599 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
600 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
601 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
602 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
603 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
604 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
605 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
606 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
607 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.

610 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
611 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
614 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
615 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
616 process and its parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
617 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
618 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
619 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.
622 bool "Export task/process statistics through netlink"
627 Export selected statistics for tasks/processes through the

629 statistics are available during the lifetime of tasks/processes as
630 responses to commands. Like BSD accounting, they are sent to user

636 bool "Enable per-task delay accounting"
640 Collect information on time spent by a task waiting for system
641 resources like cpu, synchronous block I/O completion and swapping
642 in pages. Such statistics can help in setting a task's priorities
643 relative to other tasks for cpu, io, rss limits etc.

652 to userland for processing over the taskstats interface.

666 bool "Pressure stall information tracking"
669 Collect metrics that indicate how overcommitted the CPU, memory,
670 and IO capacity are in the system.
672 If you say Y here, the kernel will create /proc/pressure/ with the
673 pressure statistics files cpu, memory, and io. These will indicate
674 the share of walltime in which some or all tasks in the system are
675 delayed due to contention of the respective resource.
677 In kernels with cgroup support, cgroups (cgroup2 only) will
678 have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files,
679 which aggregate pressure stalls for the grouped tasks only.
681 For more details see Documentation/accounting/psi.rst.
685 config PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED
686 bool "Require boot parameter to enable pressure stall information tracking"
690 If set, pressure stall information tracking will be disabled
691 per default but can be enabled through passing psi=1 on the
692 kernel commandline during boot.
694 This feature adds some code to the task wakeup and sleep
695 paths of the scheduler. The overhead is too low to affect
696 common scheduling-intense workloads in practice (such as
697 webservers, memcache), but it does show up in artificial
698 scheduler stress tests, such as hackbench.

727 on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the kernel
728 image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as
729 input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel.

746 or similar programs. If you build the headers as a module, a module called
747 kheaders.ko is built which can be loaded on-demand to get access to headers.

772 default 0 if BASE_SMALL
776 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
777 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
778 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
779 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
782 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
783 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
784 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
785 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
786 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
787 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
789 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
790 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
792 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
793 hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case
794 scenario while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

811 This can be used as part of maintaining daemons which monitor
812 /dev/kmsg, as it permits auditing the printk formats present in a
813 kernel, allowing detection of cases where monitored printks are
814 changed or no longer present.
816 There is no additional runtime cost to printk with this enabled.

831 depends on CPU_FREQ_GOV_SCHEDUTIL
833 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
834 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks scheduled on that CPU.
836 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
837 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
838 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
839 defines the minimum frequency it should use.
841 Both min and max utilization clamp values are hints to the scheduler,
842 aiming at improving its frequency selection policy, but they do not
843 enforce or grant any specific bandwidth for tasks.
847 config UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT
848 int "Number of supported utilization clamp buckets"
851 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
853 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
854 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
855 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
856 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
858 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
859 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
860 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
861 effective value to 25%.
862 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
863 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
864 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.
865 The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value
866 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
869 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
870 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
871 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
872 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
873 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking
876 If in doubt, use the default value.

1100 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
1101 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
1103 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
1104 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
1105 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
1106 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1107 frequency a task will always use.
1109 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1110 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1111 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1112 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.
1117 bool "PIDs controller"
1119 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1120 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1121 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1122 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1123 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1124 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1125 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1127 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1128 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
1129 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to
1133 bool "RDMA controller"

1136 It is fairly easy for consumers to exhaust RDMA resources, which
1137 can result into resource unavailability to other consumers.
1138 RDMA controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1139 Attaching processes with active RDMA resources to the cgroup
1140 hierarchy is allowed even if can cross the hierarchy's limit.
1143 bool "Device memory controller (DMEM)"
1146 The DMEM controller allows compatible devices to restrict device
1147 memory usage based on the cgroup hierarchy.
1149 As an example, it allows you to restrict VRAM usage for applications
1150 in the DRM subsystem.

1163 config CGROUP_HUGETLB
1164 bool "HugeTLB controller"
1165 depends on HUGETLB_PAGE
1169 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1170 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1171 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1172 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1173 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1174 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1175 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1176 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1177 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.
1180 bool "Cpuset controller"
1184 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
1185 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
1186 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
1187 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.

1225 This option extends the perf per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring
1226 to threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
1227 designated cpu. Or this can be used to have cgroup ID in samples
1228 so that it can monitor performance events among cgroups.

1251 Miscellaneous scalar resources are the resources on the host system
1252 which cannot be abstracted like the other cgroups. This controller
1253 tracks and limits the miscellaneous resources used by a process
1254 attached to a cgroup hierarchy.

1316 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
1317 to provide different user info for different servers.
1319 When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is
1320 recommended that the MEMCG option also be enabled and that
1321 user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount
1322 of memory a memory unprivileged users can use.
1327 bool "PID Namespaces"
1330 Support process id namespaces. This allows having multiple
1331 processes with the same pid as long as they are in different
1332 pid namespaces. This is a building block of containers.

1388 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
1389 etc. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst> for details.
1391 If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this

1632 eliminates most of the message strings from the kernel image
1633 and makes the kernel more or less silent. As this makes it
1634 very difficult to diagnose system problems, saying N here is
1635 strongly discouraged.
1638 bool "BUG() support" if EXPERT
1641 Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing
1642 the size of your kernel image and potentially quietly ignoring
1643 numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this
1644 option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors.
1650 bool "Enable ELF core dumps" if EXPERT
1652 Enable support for generating core dumps. Disabling saves about 4k.
1655 config PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1656 bool "Enable PC-Speaker support" if EXPERT
1657 depends on HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM
1661 This option allows to disable the internal PC-Speaker
1662 support, saving some memory.
1665 bool "Enable smaller-sized data structures for core" if EXPERT
1667 Enabling this option reduces the size of miscellaneous core
1668 kernel data structures. This saves memory on small machines,
1669 but may reduce performance.
1672 bool "Enable futex support" if EXPERT
1673 depends on !(SPARC32 && SMP)
1677 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1678 support for "fast userspace mutexes". The resulting kernel may not
1679 run glibc-based applications correctly.
1683 depends on FUTEX && RT_MUTEXES
1687 bool "Enable eventpoll support" if EXPERT
1690 Disabling this option will cause the kernel to be built without
1691 support for epoll family of system calls.
1694 bool "Enable signalfd() system call" if EXPERT
1697 Enable the signalfd() system call that allows to receive signals
1698 on a file descriptor.
1703 bool "Enable timerfd() system call" if EXPERT
1706 Enable the timerfd() system call that allows to receive timer
1707 events on a file descriptor.
1712 bool "Enable eventfd() system call" if EXPERT
1715 Enable the eventfd() system call that allows to receive both
1716 kernel notification (ie. KAIO) or userspace notifications.
1721 bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EXPERT
1725 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1726 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1727 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1728 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1729 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
1732 bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT
1735 This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used
1736 by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling
1737 this option saves about 7k.
1740 bool "Enable IO uring support" if EXPERT
1744 This option enables support for the io_uring interface, enabling
1745 applications to submit and complete IO through submission and
1746 completion rings that are shared between the kernel and application.
1748 config GCOV_PROFILE_URING
1749 bool "Enable GCOV profiling on the io_uring subsystem"
1750 depends on GCOV_KERNEL
1752 Enable GCOV profiling on the io_uring subsystem, to facilitate
1753 code coverage testing.
1757 Note that this will have a negative impact on the performance of
1758 the io_uring subsystem, hence this should only be enabled for
1759 specific test purposes.
1761 config ADVISE_SYSCALLS
1762 bool "Enable madvise/fadvise syscalls" if EXPERT
1765 This option enables the madvise and fadvise syscalls, used by
1766 applications to advise the kernel about their future memory or file
1767 usage, improving performance. If building an embedded system where no
1768 applications use these syscalls, you can disable this option to save
1772 bool "Enable membarrier() system call" if EXPERT
1775 Enable the membarrier() system call that allows issuing memory
1776 barriers across all running threads, which can be used to distribute
1777 the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by transforming
1778 pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of membarrier() and a
1784 bool "Enable kcmp() system call" if EXPERT
1786 Enable the kernel resource comparison system call. It provides
1787 user-space with the ability to compare two processes to see if they
1788 share a common resource, such as a file descriptor or even virtual
1794 bool "Enable rseq() system call" if EXPERT
1796 depends on HAVE_RSEQ
1799 Enable the restartable sequences system call. It provides a
1800 user-space cache for the current CPU number value, which
1801 speeds up getting the current CPU number from user-space,
1802 as well as an ABI to speed up user-space operations on
1809 bool "Enable debugging of rseq() system call" if EXPERT
1810 depends on RSEQ && DEBUG_KERNEL
1812 Enable extra debugging checks for the rseq system call.
1816 config CACHESTAT_SYSCALL
1817 bool "Enable cachestat() system call" if EXPERT
1820 Enable the cachestat system call, which queries the page cache
1821 statistics of a file (number of cached pages, dirty pages,
1822 pages marked for writeback, (recently) evicted pages).
1824 If unsure say Y here.
1827 bool "PC/104 support" if EXPERT
1829 Expose PC/104 form factor device drivers and options available for
1830 selection and configuration. Enable this option if your target
1831 machine has a PC/104 bus.
1834 bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT
1837 Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
1838 symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
1839 somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
1841 config KALLSYMS_SELFTEST
1842 bool "Test the basic functions and performance of kallsyms"
1846 Test the basic functions and performance of some interfaces, such as
1847 kallsyms_lookup_name. It also calculates the compression rate of the
1848 kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set.
1850 Start self-test automatically after system startup. Suggest executing
1851 "dmesg | grep kallsyms_selftest" to collect test results. "finish" is
1852 displayed in the last line, indicating that the test is complete.
1855 bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
1856 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
1858 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1859 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1860 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only if you want to
1861 enable kernel live patching, or other less common use cases (e.g.,
1862 when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (i.e., names of
1863 variables from the data sections, etc).
1865 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1866 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1867 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1868 something like this).
1870 Say N unless you really need all symbols, or kernel live patching.

1902 bool "Kernel performance events and counters"
1903 default y if PROFILING
1904 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1907 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1908 by software and hardware.
1910 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1911 use of generic tracepoints.
1913 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1914 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1915 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1916 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1917 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1918 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1919 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1921 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1922 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1923 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1924 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
1925 capabilities on top of those.
