196 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
197 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
198 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
200 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
201 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
202 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
203 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
204 will run faster if you say N here.
206 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
207 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
208 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
209 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
211 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
212 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power

267 This option is needed for IBM systems that use the Summit/EXA chipset.
268 In particular, it is needed for the x440.
270 If you don't have one of these computers, you should say N here.
271 If you want to build a NUMA kernel, you must select ACPI.

378 over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
379 the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

388 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
389 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
390 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
391 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single

399 depends on MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
403 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
404 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
405 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
406 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is
407 set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
408 enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.

482 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
483 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
484 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
485 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
486 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
487 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
488 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
489 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
490 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
491 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
492 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

527 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
528 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 255 and the
529 minimum value which makes sense is 2.

595 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

597 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
598 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
599 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
600 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
601 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
602 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
603 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
604 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
605 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
606 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

988 config MATH_EMULATION
990 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
992 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
993 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
994 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
995 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
996 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
997 coprocessor or this emulation.
999 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1000 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1001 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1002 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1003 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1004 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1005 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1006 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1008 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1009 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1011 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1012 kernel, it won't hurt.
1015 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1017 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1018 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1019 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1020 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1021 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1022 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1023 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1024 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1025 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1027 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1028 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1031 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1032 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1033 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1034 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1035 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1036 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1037 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1039 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1040 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1041 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1043 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1044 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1073 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1074 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the

1088 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1091 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1092 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1093 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1094 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1095 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1096 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1097 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1098 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1099 defined by each seccomp mode.
1101 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

1104 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1105 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1107 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1108 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1109 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1110 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1111 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1112 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1113 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1115 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1116 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1117 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1119 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL

1130 bool "kexec system call"
1131 depends on X86_64 || X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1133 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1134 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1135 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1136 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1138 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1140 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1141 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1142 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1143 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1144 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1147 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1148 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1149 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1151 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1152 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1153 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1154 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1155 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1156 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1157 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1158 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1159 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1163 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1164 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1167 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1169 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1170 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1171 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1172 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1175 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1176 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1177 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1178 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1179 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1180 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1181 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1182 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1184 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1185 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1186 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1187 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1188 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1189 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1190 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1191 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1192 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1194 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1195 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1196 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1197 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1198 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1199 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1202 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1205 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1206 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1208 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1209 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1210 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1211 but are discarded at runtime.
1213 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1214 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1217 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1218 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1219 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1226 range 0x2000 0x400000
1228 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1229 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1230 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1232 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1233 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1234 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1236 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1237 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1238 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1239 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1240 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1241 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1242 above alignment restrictions.

1299 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1300 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1301 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1302 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1303 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1304 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1306 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1307 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1309 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1310 machines with more than one CPU.
1312 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1313 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1314 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1315 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1317 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1318 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1319 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1321 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1322 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1323 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1324 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1326 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1327 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1328 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1366 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1367 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1368 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1369 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1370 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1371 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1372 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1373 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1374 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1375 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1376 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1383 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1384 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1385 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1386 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1387 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1396 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1397 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1398 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1399 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1400 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1407 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1410 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1501 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1502 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1503 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1504 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1509 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1512 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1513 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1514 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1515 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1516 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1518 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1522 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1523 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1524 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1525 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1539 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1541 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1542 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1543 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1544 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1545 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1551 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1552 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1554 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1555 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1556 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1557 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1559 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1569 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1570 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1571 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1572 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1578 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1580 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1581 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1582 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1583 for other scx200_* drivers.
1585 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

1592 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1593 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1594 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1595 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1596 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1603 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1604 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1605 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1606 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
