50 mainmenu "Linux Kernel Configuration"
59 comment "Processor type and features"
64 Select this option if you have a 64 bit IBM zSeries machine
65 and want to use the 64 bit addressing mode.
72 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
74 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
75 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
76 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
78 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
79 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
80 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
81 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
82 will run faster if you say N here.
84 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
85 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
87 Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
90 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
95 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
96 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
97 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
99 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
100 approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
103 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
108 Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
109 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
110 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
113 bool "IEEE FPU emulation"
116 This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
117 on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
121 bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
124 Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
125 handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
126 (and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
127 executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".
129 config SYSVIPC_COMPAT
131 depends on COMPAT && SYSVIPC
138 config S390_SWITCH_AMODE
139 bool "Switch kernel/user addressing modes"
141 This option allows to switch the addressing modes of kernel and user
142 space. The kernel parameter switch_amode=on will enable this feature,
143 default is disabled. Enabling this (via kernel parameter) on machines
144 earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC will reduce system performance.
146 Note that this option will also be selected by selecting the execute
147 protection option below. Enabling the execute protection via the
148 noexec kernel parameter will also switch the addressing modes,
149 independent of the switch_amode kernel parameter.
152 config S390_EXEC_PROTECT
153 bool "Data execute protection"
154 select S390_SWITCH_AMODE
156 This option allows to enable a buffer overflow protection for user
157 space programs and it also selects the addressing mode option above.
158 The kernel parameter noexec=on will enable this feature and also
159 switch the addressing modes, default is disabled. Enabling this (via
160 kernel parameter) on machines earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC
161 will reduce system performance.
163 comment "Code generation options"
166 prompt "Processor type"
170 bool "S/390 model G5 and G6"
173 Select this to build a 31 bit kernel that works
174 on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
177 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"
179 Select this to optimize for zSeries machines. This
180 will enable some optimizations that are not available
181 on older 31 bit only CPUs.
184 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z890 and z990"
186 Select this enable optimizations for model z890/z990.
187 This will be slightly faster but does not work on
188 older machines such as the z900.
193 Select this to enable optimizations for IBM System z9-109, IBM
194 System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC), and IBM System z9 Business
195 Class (z9 BC). The kernel will be slightly faster but will not
196 work on older machines such as the z990, z890, z900, and z800.
201 bool "Pack kernel stack"
203 This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
204 is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
205 the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
206 frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
207 minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
208 -mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
209 and 24 byte on 64 bit.
211 Say Y if you are unsure.
214 bool "Use 4kb/8kb for kernel stack instead of 8kb/16kb"
215 depends on PACK_STACK && !LOCKDEP
217 If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
218 option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
219 the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
220 instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
221 reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
224 Say N if you are unsure.
228 bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
230 This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
231 -mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
232 it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
233 an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
235 Say N if you are unsure.
238 int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
240 depends on CHECK_STACK
243 This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
244 end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
245 area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
246 needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
247 interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
248 The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
252 bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
254 This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
255 -mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
256 will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
257 create a stack frame bigger then CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
259 Say N if you are unsure.
261 config WARN_STACK_SIZE
262 int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
264 depends on WARN_STACK
267 This allows you to specify the maximum frame size a function may
268 have without the compiler complaining about it.
270 config ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP
273 comment "Kernel preemption"
275 source "kernel/Kconfig.preempt"
279 comment "I/O subsystem configuration"
281 config MACHCHK_WARNING
282 bool "Process warning machine checks"
284 Select this option if you want the machine check handler on IBM S/390 or
285 zSeries to process warning machine checks (e.g. on power failures).
289 tristate "QDIO support"
291 This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for
294 For details please refer to the documentation provided by IBM at
295 <http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390>
297 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
298 module will be called qdio.
303 bool "Extended debugging information"
306 Say Y here to get extended debugging output in
307 /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/qdio...
308 Warning: this option reduces the performance of the QDIO module.
315 bool "Builtin IPL record support"
317 If you want to use the produced kernel to IPL directly from a
318 device, you have to merge a bootsector specific to the device
319 into the first bytes of the kernel. You will have to select the
323 prompt "IPL method generated into head.S"
327 Select "tape" if you want to IPL the image from a Tape.
329 Select "vm_reader" if you are running under VM/ESA and want
330 to IPL the image from the emulated card reader.
340 source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
343 bool "Show crashed user process info"
345 Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
346 a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
347 are an S390 port maintainer.
350 bool "Pseudo page fault support"
352 Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
353 handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
354 has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
355 pseudo page fault handling will be used.
356 Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
357 implementation that causes some problems.
358 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
362 bool "VM shared kernel support"
364 Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
365 Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
366 usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
367 Also if a kernel was IPL'ed from a shared segment the kexec system
369 You should only select this option if you know what you are
370 doing and want to exploit this feature.
373 tristate "Cooperative memory management"
375 Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
376 to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
377 by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
378 makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
379 will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
380 allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
381 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
385 bool "/proc interface to cooperative memory management"
388 Select this option to enable the /proc interface to the
389 cooperative memory management.
392 bool "IUCV special message interface to cooperative memory management"
393 depends on CMM && (SMSGIUCV=y || CMM=SMSGIUCV)
395 Select this option to enable the special message interface to
396 the cooperative memory management.
399 bool "Virtual CPU timer support"
401 This provides a kernel interface for virtual CPU timers.
404 config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
405 bool "Base user process accounting on virtual cpu timer"
406 depends on VIRT_TIMER
408 Select this option to use CPU timer deltas to do user
412 bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
413 depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
415 This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
416 monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
417 intervals, once the timer is started.
418 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
419 i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
420 A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
421 /proc/appldata/interval.
423 Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
424 The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
427 tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
428 depends on APPLDATA_BASE && VM_EVENT_COUNTERS
430 This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
431 Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
432 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
433 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
437 The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
439 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
443 tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
444 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
446 This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
447 CPU utilisation, etc.
448 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
449 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
453 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
456 config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
457 tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
458 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
460 This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
461 currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
463 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
464 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
468 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
471 source kernel/Kconfig.hz
474 bool "No HZ timer ticks in idle"
476 Switches the regular HZ timer off when the system is going idle.
477 This helps z/VM to detect that the Linux system is idle. VM can
478 then "swap-out" this guest which reduces memory usage. It also
479 reduces the overhead of idle systems.
481 The HZ timer can be switched on/off via /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer.
482 hz_timer=0 means HZ timer is disabled. hz_timer=1 means HZ
485 config NO_IDLE_HZ_INIT
486 bool "HZ timer in idle off by default"
487 depends on NO_IDLE_HZ
489 The HZ timer is switched off in idle by default. That means the
490 HZ timer is already disabled at boot time.
493 bool "s390 hypervisor file system support"
494 select SYS_HYPERVISOR
497 This is a virtual file system intended to provide accounting
498 information in an s390 hypervisor environment.
501 bool "kexec system call"
503 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
504 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
505 but is independent of hardware/microcode support.
508 tristate "zfcpdump support"
512 Select this option if you want to build an zfcpdump enabled kernel.
513 Refer to <file:Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt> for more details on this.
