6 mainmenu "Linux/UltraSPARC Kernel Configuration"
12 SPARC is a family of RISC microprocessors designed and marketed by
13 Sun Microsystems, incorporated. This port covers the newer 64-bit
14 UltraSPARC. The UltraLinux project maintains both the SPARC32 and
15 SPARC64 ports; its web page is available at
16 <http://www.ultralinux.org/>.
25 config TIME_INTERPOLATION
30 prompt "Kernel page size"
31 default SPARC64_PAGE_SIZE_8KB
33 config SPARC64_PAGE_SIZE_8KB
36 This lets you select the page size of the kernel.
38 8KB and 64KB work quite well, since Sparc ELF sections
39 provide for up to 64KB alignment.
41 Therefore, 512KB and 4MB are for expert hackers only.
43 If you don't know what to do, choose 8KB.
45 config SPARC64_PAGE_SIZE_64KB
48 config SPARC64_PAGE_SIZE_512KB
51 config SPARC64_PAGE_SIZE_4MB
57 bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
61 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
62 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
63 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
64 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
65 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
66 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
67 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
68 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
69 defined by each seccomp mode.
71 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

85 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
87 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
88 a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more than
91 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
92 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
93 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
94 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
95 will run faster if you say N here.
97 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
98 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
99 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.
101 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt>,
102 <file:Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO available at
103 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
105 If you don't know what to do here, say N.
108 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
110 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
111 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
112 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
113 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
116 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
117 or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.

183 config GENERIC_ISA_DMA
190 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
191 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
192 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
193 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
194 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
199 Say Y here if you would like support for ISA Plug and Play devices.
200 Some information is in <file:Documentation/isapnp.txt>.
202 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
203 module will be called isapnp.
210 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
211 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
213 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
214 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
215 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
216 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
218 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
225 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
226 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
227 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
228 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.
233 Say Y here if you want to attach PCMCIA- or PC-cards to your Linux
234 computer. These are credit-card size devices such as network cards,
235 modems or hard drives often used with laptops computers. There are
236 actually two varieties of these cards: the older 16 bit PCMCIA cards
237 and the newer 32 bit CardBus cards. If you want to use CardBus
238 cards, you need to say Y here and also to "CardBus support" below.
240 To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
241 Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
242 for location). Please also read the PCMCIA-HOWTO, available from
243 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
245 To compile this driver as modules, choose M here: the
246 modules will be called pcmcia_core and ds.
267 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
268 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
269 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
270 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
272 The PCI-HOWTO, available from
273 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
274 information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which

283 config SUN_OPENPROMFS
284 tristate "Openprom tree appears in /proc/openprom"
286 If you say Y, the OpenPROM device tree will be available as a
287 virtual file system, which you can mount to /proc/openprom by "mount
288 -t openpromfs none /proc/openprom".
290 To compile the /proc/openprom support as a module, choose M here: the
291 module will be called openpromfs. If unsure, choose M.
293 config SPARC32_COMPAT
294 bool "Kernel support for Linux/Sparc 32bit binary compatibility"
296 This allows you to run 32-bit binaries on your Ultra.
297 Everybody wants this; say Y.
301 depends on SPARC32_COMPAT
306 depends on SPARC32_COMPAT
310 tristate "Kernel support for 32-bit ELF binaries"
311 depends on SPARC32_COMPAT
313 This allows you to run 32-bit Linux/ELF binaries on your Ultra.
314 Everybody wants this; say Y.
317 bool "Kernel support for 32-bit (ie. SunOS) a.out binaries"
318 depends on SPARC32_COMPAT
320 This allows you to run 32-bit a.out format binaries on your Ultra.
321 If you want to run SunOS binaries (see SunOS binary emulation below)
322 or other a.out binaries, say Y. If unsure, say N.
324 menu "Executable file formats"
326 source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
329 bool "SunOS binary emulation"
330 depends on BINFMT_AOUT32
332 This allows you to run most SunOS binaries. If you want to do this,
333 say Y here and place appropriate files in /usr/gnemul/sunos. See
334 <http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html> for more information. If you
335 want to run SunOS binaries on an Ultra you must also say Y to
336 "Kernel support for 32-bit a.out binaries" above.
339 tristate "Solaris binary emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
340 depends on SPARC32_COMPAT && EXPERIMENTAL
342 This is experimental code which will enable you to run (many)
343 Solaris binaries on your SPARC Linux machine.
345 To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
346 module will be called solaris.
351 bool "Default bootloader kernel arguments"
354 string "Initial kernel command string"
355 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
356 default "console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/sda1"
358 Say Y here if you want to be able to pass default arguments to
359 the kernel. This will be overridden by the bootloader, if you
360 use one (such as SILO). This is most useful if you want to boot
361 a kernel from TFTP, and want default options to be available
362 with having them passed on the command line.
364 NOTE: This option WILL override the PROM bootargs setting!
