32 mainmenu "Linux Kernel Configuration"
42 comment "Processor type and features"
47 Select this option if you have a 64 bit IBM zSeries machine
48 and want to use the 64 bit addressing mode.
51 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
53 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
54 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
55 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
57 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
58 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
59 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
60 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
61 will run faster if you say N here.
63 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
64 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
66 Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
69 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
74 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
75 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
76 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
78 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
79 approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
82 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
87 Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
88 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
89 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
91 config DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST
96 bool "IEEE FPU emulation"
99 This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
100 on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
104 bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
107 Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
108 handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
109 (and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
110 executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".
112 config SYSVIPC_COMPAT
114 depends on COMPAT && SYSVIPC
118 tristate "Kernel support for 31 bit ELF binaries"
121 This allows you to run 32-bit Linux/ELF binaries on your zSeries
122 in 64 bit mode. Everybody wants this; say Y.
124 comment "Code generation options"
127 prompt "Processor type"
131 bool "S/390 model G5 and G6"
134 Select this to build a 31 bit kernel that works
135 on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
138 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"
140 Select this to optimize for zSeries machines. This
141 will enable some optimizations that are not available
142 on older 31 bit only CPUs.
145 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z890 and z990"
147 Select this enable optimizations for model z890/z990.
148 This will be slightly faster but does not work on
149 older machines such as the z900.
154 bool "Pack kernel stack"
156 This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
157 is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
158 the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
159 frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
160 minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
161 -mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
162 and 24 byte on 64 bit.
164 Say Y if you are unsure.
167 bool "Use 4kb/8kb for kernel stack instead of 8kb/16kb"
168 depends on PACK_STACK
170 If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
171 option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
172 the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
173 instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
174 reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
177 Say N if you are unsure.
181 bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
183 This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
184 -mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
185 it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
186 an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
188 Say N if you are unsure.
191 int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
193 depends on CHECK_STACK
196 This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
197 end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
198 area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
199 needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
200 interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
201 The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
205 bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
207 This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
208 -mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
209 will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
210 create a stack frame bigger then CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
212 Say N if you are unsure.
214 config WARN_STACK_SIZE
215 int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
217 depends on WARN_STACK
220 This allows you to specify the maximum frame size a function may
221 have without the compiler complaining about it.
225 comment "I/O subsystem configuration"
227 config MACHCHK_WARNING
228 bool "Process warning machine checks"
230 Select this option if you want the machine check handler on IBM S/390 or
231 zSeries to process warning machine checks (e.g. on power failures).
235 tristate "QDIO support"
237 This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for
240 For details please refer to the documentation provided by IBM at
241 <http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390>
243 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
244 module will be called qdio.
248 config QDIO_PERF_STATS
249 bool "Performance statistics in /proc"
252 Say Y here to get performance statistics in /proc/qdio_perf
257 bool "Extended debugging information"
260 Say Y here to get extended debugging output in
261 /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/qdio...
262 Warning: this option reduces the performance of the QDIO module.
269 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
271 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
272 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
273 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
274 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
277 Say N if you are unsure.
280 bool "Builtin IPL record support"
282 If you want to use the produced kernel to IPL directly from a
283 device, you have to merge a bootsector specific to the device
284 into the first bytes of the kernel. You will have to select the
288 prompt "IPL method generated into head.S"
292 Select "tape" if you want to IPL the image from a Tape.
294 Select "vm_reader" if you are running under VM/ESA and want
295 to IPL the image from the emulated card reader.
305 source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
308 bool "Show crashed user process info"
310 Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
311 a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
312 are an S390 port maintainer.
315 bool "Pseudo page fault support"
317 Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
318 handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
319 has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
320 pseudo page fault handling will be used.
321 Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
322 implementation that causes some problems.
323 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
327 bool "VM shared kernel support"
329 Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
330 Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
331 usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
332 You should only select this option if you know what you are
333 doing and want to exploit this feature.
336 tristate "Cooperative memory management"
338 Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
339 to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
340 by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
341 makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
342 will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
343 allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
344 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
348 bool "/proc interface to cooperative memory management"
351 Select this option to enable the /proc interface to the
352 cooperative memory management.
355 bool "IUCV special message interface to cooperative memory management"
356 depends on CMM && (SMSGIUCV=y || CMM=SMSGIUCV)
358 Select this option to enable the special message interface to
359 the cooperative memory management.
362 bool "Virtual CPU timer support"
364 This provides a kernel interface for virtual CPU timers.
367 config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
368 bool "Base user process accounting on virtual cpu timer"
369 depends on VIRT_TIMER
371 Select this option to use CPU timer deltas to do user
375 bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
376 depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
378 This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
379 monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
380 intervals, once the timer is started.
381 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
382 i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
383 A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
384 /proc/appldata/interval.
386 Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
387 The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
390 tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
391 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
393 This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
394 Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
395 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
396 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
400 The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
402 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
406 tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
407 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
409 This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
410 CPU utilisation, etc.
411 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
412 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
416 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
419 config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
420 tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
421 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
423 This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
424 currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
426 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
427 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
431 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
435 bool "No HZ timer ticks in idle"
437 Switches the regular HZ timer off when the system is going idle.
438 This helps z/VM to detect that the Linux system is idle. VM can
439 then "swap-out" this guest which reduces memory usage. It also
440 reduces the overhead of idle systems.
442 The HZ timer can be switched on/off via /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer.
443 hz_timer=0 means HZ timer is disabled. hz_timer=1 means HZ
446 config NO_IDLE_HZ_INIT
447 bool "HZ timer in idle off by default"
448 depends on NO_IDLE_HZ
450 The HZ timer is switched off in idle by default. That means the
451 HZ timer is already disabled at boot time.
454 bool "s390 hypervisor file system support"
455 select SYS_HYPERVISOR
458 This is a virtual file system intended to provide accounting
459 information in an s390 hypervisor environment.
462 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
463 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
465 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
466 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
467 but is independent of hardware/microcode support.
