55 mainmenu "Linux Kernel Configuration"
65 comment "Processor type and features"
70 Select this option if you have a 64 bit IBM zSeries machine
71 and want to use the 64 bit addressing mode.
78 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
80 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
81 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
82 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
84 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
85 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
86 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
87 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
88 will run faster if you say N here.
90 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
91 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
93 Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
96 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
101 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
102 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
103 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
105 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
106 approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
109 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
114 Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
115 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
116 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
118 config DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST
123 bool "IEEE FPU emulation"
126 This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
127 on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
131 bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
134 Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
135 handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
136 (and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
137 executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".
139 config SYSVIPC_COMPAT
141 depends on COMPAT && SYSVIPC
148 config S390_SWITCH_AMODE
149 bool "Switch kernel/user addressing modes"
151 This option allows to switch the addressing modes of kernel and user
152 space. The kernel parameter switch_amode=on will enable this feature,
153 default is disabled. Enabling this (via kernel parameter) on machines
154 earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC will reduce system performance.
156 Note that this option will also be selected by selecting the execute
157 protection option below. Enabling the execute protection via the
158 noexec kernel parameter will also switch the addressing modes,
159 independent of the switch_amode kernel parameter.
162 config S390_EXEC_PROTECT
163 bool "Data execute protection"
164 select S390_SWITCH_AMODE
166 This option allows to enable a buffer overflow protection for user
167 space programs and it also selects the addressing mode option above.
168 The kernel parameter noexec=on will enable this feature and also
169 switch the addressing modes, default is disabled. Enabling this (via
170 kernel parameter) on machines earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC
171 will reduce system performance.
173 comment "Code generation options"
176 prompt "Processor type"
180 bool "S/390 model G5 and G6"
183 Select this to build a 31 bit kernel that works
184 on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
187 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"
189 Select this to optimize for zSeries machines. This
190 will enable some optimizations that are not available
191 on older 31 bit only CPUs.
194 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z890 and z990"
196 Select this enable optimizations for model z890/z990.
197 This will be slightly faster but does not work on
198 older machines such as the z900.
203 Select this to enable optimizations for IBM System z9-109, IBM
204 System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC), and IBM System z9 Business
205 Class (z9 BC). The kernel will be slightly faster but will not
206 work on older machines such as the z990, z890, z900, and z800.
211 bool "Pack kernel stack"
213 This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
214 is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
215 the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
216 frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
217 minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
218 -mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
219 and 24 byte on 64 bit.
221 Say Y if you are unsure.
224 bool "Use 4kb/8kb for kernel stack instead of 8kb/16kb"
225 depends on PACK_STACK && !LOCKDEP
227 If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
228 option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
229 the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
230 instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
231 reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
234 Say N if you are unsure.
238 bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
240 This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
241 -mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
242 it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
243 an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
245 Say N if you are unsure.
248 int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
250 depends on CHECK_STACK
253 This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
254 end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
255 area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
256 needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
257 interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
258 The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
262 bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
264 This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
265 -mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
266 will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
267 create a stack frame bigger then CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
269 Say N if you are unsure.
271 config WARN_STACK_SIZE
272 int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
274 depends on WARN_STACK
277 This allows you to specify the maximum frame size a function may
278 have without the compiler complaining about it.
280 config ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP
288 comment "I/O subsystem configuration"
290 config MACHCHK_WARNING
291 bool "Process warning machine checks"
293 Select this option if you want the machine check handler on IBM S/390 or
294 zSeries to process warning machine checks (e.g. on power failures).
298 tristate "QDIO support"
300 This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for
303 For details please refer to the documentation provided by IBM at
304 <http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390>
306 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
307 module will be called qdio.
312 bool "Extended debugging information"
315 Say Y here to get extended debugging output in
316 /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/qdio...
317 Warning: this option reduces the performance of the QDIO module.
324 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
326 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
327 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
328 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
329 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
332 Say N if you are unsure.
335 bool "Builtin IPL record support"
337 If you want to use the produced kernel to IPL directly from a
338 device, you have to merge a bootsector specific to the device
339 into the first bytes of the kernel. You will have to select the
343 prompt "IPL method generated into head.S"
347 Select "tape" if you want to IPL the image from a Tape.
349 Select "vm_reader" if you are running under VM/ESA and want
350 to IPL the image from the emulated card reader.
360 source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
363 bool "Show crashed user process info"
365 Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
366 a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
367 are an S390 port maintainer.
370 bool "Pseudo page fault support"
372 Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
373 handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
374 has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
375 pseudo page fault handling will be used.
376 Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
377 implementation that causes some problems.
378 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
382 bool "VM shared kernel support"
384 Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
385 Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
386 usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
387 Also if a kernel was IPL'ed from a shared segment the kexec system
389 You should only select this option if you know what you are
390 doing and want to exploit this feature.
393 tristate "Cooperative memory management"
395 Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
396 to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
397 by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
398 makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
399 will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
400 allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
401 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
405 bool "/proc interface to cooperative memory management"
408 Select this option to enable the /proc interface to the
409 cooperative memory management.
412 bool "IUCV special message interface to cooperative memory management"
413 depends on CMM && (SMSGIUCV=y || CMM=SMSGIUCV)
415 Select this option to enable the special message interface to
416 the cooperative memory management.
419 bool "Virtual CPU timer support"
421 This provides a kernel interface for virtual CPU timers.
424 config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
425 bool "Base user process accounting on virtual cpu timer"
426 depends on VIRT_TIMER
428 Select this option to use CPU timer deltas to do user
432 bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
433 depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
435 This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
436 monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
437 intervals, once the timer is started.
438 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
439 i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
440 A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
441 /proc/appldata/interval.
443 Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
444 The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
447 tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
448 depends on APPLDATA_BASE && VM_EVENT_COUNTERS
450 This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
451 Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
452 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
453 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
457 The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
459 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
463 tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
464 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
466 This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
467 CPU utilisation, etc.
468 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
469 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
473 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
476 config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
477 tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
478 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
480 This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
481 currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
483 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
484 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
488 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
492 bool "No HZ timer ticks in idle"
494 Switches the regular HZ timer off when the system is going idle.
495 This helps z/VM to detect that the Linux system is idle. VM can
496 then "swap-out" this guest which reduces memory usage. It also
497 reduces the overhead of idle systems.
499 The HZ timer can be switched on/off via /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer.
500 hz_timer=0 means HZ timer is disabled. hz_timer=1 means HZ
503 config NO_IDLE_HZ_INIT
504 bool "HZ timer in idle off by default"
505 depends on NO_IDLE_HZ
507 The HZ timer is switched off in idle by default. That means the
508 HZ timer is already disabled at boot time.
511 bool "s390 hypervisor file system support"
512 select SYS_HYPERVISOR
515 This is a virtual file system intended to provide accounting
516 information in an s390 hypervisor environment.
519 bool "kexec system call"
521 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
522 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
523 but is independent of hardware/microcode support.
526 tristate "zfcpdump support"
530 Select this option if you want to build an zfcpdump enabled kernel.
531 Refer to "Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt" for more details on this.
