24 mainmenu "Linux Kernel Configuration"
34 comment "Processor type and features"
39 Select this option if you have a 64 bit IBM zSeries machine
40 and want to use the 64 bit addressing mode.
43 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
45 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
46 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
47 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
49 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
50 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
51 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
52 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
53 will run faster if you say N here.
55 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
56 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
58 Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
61 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
66 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
67 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
68 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
70 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
71 approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
74 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
79 Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
80 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
81 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
83 config DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST
88 bool "IEEE FPU emulation"
91 This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
92 on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
96 bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
99 Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
100 handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
101 (and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
102 executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".
104 config SYSVIPC_COMPAT
106 depends on COMPAT && SYSVIPC
110 tristate "Kernel support for 31 bit ELF binaries"
113 This allows you to run 32-bit Linux/ELF binaries on your zSeries
114 in 64 bit mode. Everybody wants this; say Y.
116 comment "Code generation options"
119 prompt "Processor type"
123 bool "S/390 model G5 and G6"
126 Select this to build a 31 bit kernel that works
127 on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
130 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"
132 Select this to optimize for zSeries machines. This
133 will enable some optimizations that are not available
134 on older 31 bit only CPUs.
137 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z890 and z990"
139 Select this enable optimizations for model z890/z990.
140 This will be slightly faster but does not work on
141 older machines such as the z900.
146 bool "Pack kernel stack"
148 This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
149 is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
150 the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
151 frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
152 minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
153 -mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
154 and 24 byte on 64 bit.
156 Say Y if you are unsure.
159 bool "Use 4kb/8kb for kernel stack instead of 8kb/16kb"
160 depends on PACK_STACK
162 If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
163 option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
164 the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
165 instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
166 reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
169 Say N if you are unsure.
173 bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
175 This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
176 -mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
177 it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
178 an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
180 Say N if you are unsure.
183 int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
185 depends on CHECK_STACK
188 This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
189 end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
190 area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
191 needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
192 interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
193 The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
197 bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
199 This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
200 -mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
201 will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
202 create a stack frame bigger then CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
204 Say N if you are unsure.
206 config WARN_STACK_SIZE
207 int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
209 depends on WARN_STACK
212 This allows you to specify the maximum frame size a function may
213 have without the compiler complaining about it.
217 comment "I/O subsystem configuration"
219 config MACHCHK_WARNING
220 bool "Process warning machine checks"
222 Select this option if you want the machine check handler on IBM S/390 or
223 zSeries to process warning machine checks (e.g. on power failures).
227 tristate "QDIO support"
229 This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for
232 For details please refer to the documentation provided by IBM at
233 <http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390>
235 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
236 module will be called qdio.
240 config QDIO_PERF_STATS
241 bool "Performance statistics in /proc"
244 Say Y here to get performance statistics in /proc/qdio_perf
249 bool "Extended debugging information"
252 Say Y here to get extended debugging output in
253 /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/qdio...
254 Warning: this option reduces the performance of the QDIO module.
261 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
263 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
264 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
265 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
266 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
269 Say N if you are unsure.
272 bool "Builtin IPL record support"
274 If you want to use the produced kernel to IPL directly from a
275 device, you have to merge a bootsector specific to the device
276 into the first bytes of the kernel. You will have to select the
280 prompt "IPL method generated into head.S"
284 Select "tape" if you want to IPL the image from a Tape.
286 Select "vm_reader" if you are running under VM/ESA and want
287 to IPL the image from the emulated card reader.
297 source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
300 bool "Show crashed user process info"
302 Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
303 a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
304 are an S390 port maintainer.
307 bool "Pseudo page fault support"
309 Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
310 handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
311 has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
312 pseudo page fault handling will be used.
313 Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
314 implementation that causes some problems.
315 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
319 bool "VM shared kernel support"
321 Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
322 Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
323 usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
324 You should only select this option if you know what you are
325 doing and want to exploit this feature.
328 tristate "Cooperative memory management"
330 Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
331 to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
332 by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
333 makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
334 will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
335 allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
336 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
340 bool "/proc interface to cooperative memory management"
343 Select this option to enable the /proc interface to the
344 cooperative memory management.
347 bool "IUCV special message interface to cooperative memory management"
348 depends on CMM && (SMSGIUCV=y || CMM=SMSGIUCV)
350 Select this option to enable the special message interface to
351 the cooperative memory management.
354 bool "Virtual CPU timer support"
356 This provides a kernel interface for virtual CPU timers.
359 config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
360 bool "Base user process accounting on virtual cpu timer"
361 depends on VIRT_TIMER
363 Select this option to use CPU timer deltas to do user
367 bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
368 depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
370 This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
371 monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
372 intervals, once the timer is started.
373 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
374 i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
375 A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
376 /proc/appldata/interval.
378 Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
379 The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
382 tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
383 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
385 This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
386 Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
387 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
388 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
392 The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
394 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
398 tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
399 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
401 This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
402 CPU utilisation, etc.
403 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
404 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
408 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
411 config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
412 tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
413 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
415 This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
416 currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
418 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
419 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
423 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
427 bool "No HZ timer ticks in idle"
429 Switches the regular HZ timer off when the system is going idle.
430 This helps z/VM to detect that the Linux system is idle. VM can
431 then "swap-out" this guest which reduces memory usage. It also
432 reduces the overhead of idle systems.
434 The HZ timer can be switched on/off via /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer.
435 hz_timer=0 means HZ timer is disabled. hz_timer=1 means HZ
438 config NO_IDLE_HZ_INIT
439 bool "HZ timer in idle off by default"
440 depends on NO_IDLE_HZ
442 The HZ timer is switched off in idle by default. That means the
443 HZ timer is already disabled at boot time.
446 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
447 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
449 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
450 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
451 but is independent of hardware/microcode support.
