13 The ARM series is a line of low-power-consumption RISC chip designs
14 licensed by ARM Ltd and targeted at embedded applications and
15 handhelds such as the Compaq IPAQ. ARM-based PCs are no longer
16 manufactured, but legacy ARM-based PC hardware remains popular in
17 Europe. There is an ARM Linux project with a web page at
18 <http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/>.
27 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
28 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
30 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
31 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
32 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
33 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
35 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
45 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
46 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
47 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
48 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

392 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && REALVIEW_MPCORE
394 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
395 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
396 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
398 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
399 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
400 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all, single
401 processor machines. On a single processor machine, the kernel will
402 run faster if you say N here.

418 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs (EXPERIMENTAL)"
419 depends on SMP && HOTPLUG && EXPERIMENTAL
421 Say Y here to experiment with turning CPUs off and on. CPUs
422 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu.
425 bool "Use local timer interrupts"
426 depends on SMP && REALVIEW_MPCORE
429 Enable support for local timers on SMP platforms, rather then the
430 legacy IPI broadcast method. Local timers allows the system
431 accounting to be spread across the timer interval, preventing a
432 "thundering herd" at every timer tick.
435 bool "Preemptible Kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
436 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
438 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
439 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
440 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
441 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
444 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
445 or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
448 bool "Dynamic tick timer"
450 Select this option if you want to disable continuous timer ticks
451 and have them programmed to occur as required. This option saves
452 power as the system can remain in idle state for longer.
454 By default dynamic tick is disabled during the boot, and can be
455 manually enabled with:
457 echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick
459 Alternatively, if you want dynamic tick automatically enabled
460 during boot, pass "dyntick=enable" via the kernel command string.
462 Please note that dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of
463 timekeeping on some platforms depending on the implementation.
464 Currently at least OMAP, PXA2xx and SA11x0 platforms are known
465 to have accurate timekeeping with dynamic tick.

471 default OMAP_32K_TIMER_HZ if ARCH_OMAP && OMAP_32K_TIMER
475 bool "Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel"
477 This option allows for the kernel to be compiled using the latest
478 ARM ABI (aka EABI). This is only useful if you are using a user
479 space environment that is also compiled with EABI.
481 Since there are major incompatibilities between the legacy ABI and
482 EABI, especially with regard to structure member alignment, this
483 option also changes the kernel syscall calling convention to
484 disambiguate both ABIs and allow for backward compatibility support
485 (selected with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT).
487 To use this you need GCC version 4.0.0 or later.
490 bool "Allow old ABI binaries to run with this kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
491 depends on AEABI && EXPERIMENTAL
494 This option preserves the old syscall interface along with the
495 new (ARM EABI) one. It also provides a compatibility layer to
496 intercept syscalls that have structure arguments which layout
497 in memory differs between the legacy ABI and the new ARM EABI
498 (only for non "thumb" binaries). This option adds a tiny
499 overhead to all syscalls and produces a slightly larger kernel.
500 If you know you'll be using only pure EABI user space then you
501 can say N here. If this option is not selected and you attempt
502 to execute a legacy ABI binary then the result will be
503 UNPREDICTABLE (in fact it can be predicted that it won't work
504 at all). If in doubt say Y.
506 config ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
508 default (ARCH_LH7A40X && !LH7A40X_CONTIGMEM)
510 Say Y to support efficient handling of discontiguous physical memory,
511 for architectures which are either NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access)
512 or have huge holes in the physical address space for other reasons.

526 If you say Y here, the LEDs on your machine will be used
527 to provide useful information about your current system status.
529 If you are compiling a kernel for a NetWinder or EBSA-285, you will
530 be able to select which LEDs are active using the options below. If
531 you are compiling a kernel for the EBSA-110 or the LART however, the
532 red LED will simply flash regularly to indicate that the system is
533 still functional. It is safe to say Y here if you have a CATS
534 system, but the driver will do nothing.

542 If you say Y here, one of the system LEDs (the green one on the
543 NetWinder, the amber one on the EBSA285, or the red one on the LART)
544 will flash regularly to indicate that the system is still
545 operational. This is mainly useful to kernel hackers who are
546 debugging unstable kernels.
548 The LART uses the same LED for both Timer LED and CPU usage LED
549 functions. You may choose to use both, but the Timer LED function
550 will overrule the CPU usage LED.
553 bool "CPU usage LED" if (!ARCH_CDB89712 && !ARCH_EBSA110 && \
554 !ARCH_OMAP) || MACH_OMAP_H2 || MACH_OMAP_PERSEUS2
557 If you say Y here, the red LED will be used to give a good real
558 time indication of CPU usage, by lighting whenever the idle task
559 is not currently executing.
561 The LART uses the same LED for both Timer LED and CPU usage LED
562 functions. You may choose to use both, but the Timer LED function
563 will overrule the CPU usage LED.
565 config ALIGNMENT_TRAP
567 default y if !ARCH_EBSA110
569 ARM processors can not fetch/store information which is not
570 naturally aligned on the bus, i.e., a 4 byte fetch must start at an
571 address divisible by 4. On 32-bit ARM processors, these non-aligned
572 fetch/store instructions will be emulated in software if you say
573 here, which has a severe performance impact. This is necessary for
574 correct operation of some network protocols. With an IP-only
575 configuration it is safe to say N, otherwise say Y.

582 # TEXT and BSS so we preserve their values in the config files.
583 config ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT
584 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
587 The physical address at which the ROM-able zImage is to be
588 placed in the target. Platforms which normally make use of
589 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
590 value in their defconfig file.
592 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
595 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader BSS address"
598 The base address of 64KiB of read/write memory in the target
599 for the ROM-able zImage, which must be available while the
600 decompressor is running. Platforms which normally make use of
601 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
602 value in their defconfig file.
604 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
607 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
608 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
610 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
611 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
614 string "Default kernel command string"
617 On some architectures (EBSA110 and CATS), there is currently no way
618 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
619 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
620 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
621 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
624 bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
625 depends on !ZBOOT_ROM
627 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
628 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
629 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
630 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
631 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
632 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
633 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
634 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
635 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
636 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
638 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
639 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
640 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.
645 hex "XIP Kernel Physical Location"
646 depends on XIP_KERNEL
649 This is the physical address in your flash memory the kernel will
650 be linked for and stored to. This address is dependent on your

691 bool "NWFPE math emulation"
692 depends on !AEABI || OABI_COMPAT
694 Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
695 This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
696 support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if
697 your machine has an FPA or floating point co-processor podule.
699 You may say N here if you are going to load the Acorn FPEmulator
703 bool "Support extended precision"
706 Say Y to include 80-bit support in the kernel floating-point
707 emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
708 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
709 so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
710 floating point emulator without any good reason.
712 You almost surely want to say N here.
715 bool "FastFPE math emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
716 depends on (!AEABI || OABI_COMPAT) && !CPU_32v3 && EXPERIMENTAL
718 Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
719 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
720 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
721 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
723 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
724 for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.
725 If you do not feel you need a faster FP emulation you should better
729 bool "VFP-format floating point maths"

765 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
766 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
767 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
768 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
769 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
770 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
772 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
