99 This selects the system type of your hardware. A "generic" kernel
100 will run on any supported IA-64 system. However, if you configure
101 a kernel for your specific system, it will be faster and smaller.
103 generic For any supported IA-64 system
104 DIG-compliant For DIG ("Developer's Interface Guide") compliant systems
105 HP-zx1/sx1000 For HP systems
106 HP-zx1/sx1000+swiotlb For HP systems with (broken) DMA-constrained devices.
107 SGI-SN2 For SGI Altix systems
108 Ski-simulator For the HP simulator <http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/ski/>
110 If you don't know what to do, choose "generic".
119 Build a kernel that runs on HP zx1 and sx1000 systems. This adds
120 support for the HP I/O MMU.
122 config IA64_HP_ZX1_SWIOTLB
123 bool "HP-zx1/sx1000 with software I/O TLB"
126 Build a kernel that runs on HP zx1 and sx1000 systems even when they
127 have broken PCI devices which cannot DMA to full 32 bits. Apart
128 from support for the HP I/O MMU, this includes support for the software
129 I/O TLB, which allows supporting the broken devices at the expense of
130 wasting some kernel memory (about 2MB by default).
135 Selecting this option will optimize the kernel for use on sn2 based
136 systems, but the resulting kernel binary will not run on other
137 types of ia64 systems. If you have an SGI Altix system, it's safe
138 to select this option. If in doubt, select ia64 generic support
148 prompt "Processor type"
154 Select your IA-64 processor type. The default is Itanium.
155 This choice is safe for all IA-64 systems, but may not perform
156 optimally on systems with, say, Itanium 2 or newer processors.
161 Select this to configure for an Itanium 2 (McKinley) processor.
166 prompt "Kernel page size"
167 default IA64_PAGE_SIZE_16KB
169 config IA64_PAGE_SIZE_4KB
172 This lets you select the page size of the kernel. For best IA-64
173 performance, a page size of 8KB or 16KB is recommended. For best
174 IA-32 compatibility, a page size of 4KB should be selected (the vast
175 majority of IA-32 binaries work perfectly fine with a larger page
176 size). For Itanium 2 or newer systems, a page size of 64KB can also
179 4KB For best IA-32 compatibility
180 8KB For best IA-64 performance

238 select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR
240 An SGI machine can be divided into multiple Single System
241 Images which act independently of each other and have
242 hardware based memory protection from the others. Enabling
243 this feature will allow for direct communication between SSIs
244 based on a network adapter and DMA messaging.

248 range 11 17 if !HUGETLB_PAGE
249 default "17" if HUGETLB_PAGE
253 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
255 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
256 a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more
259 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
260 systems, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor system. If
261 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
262 single processor systems. On a single processor system, the kernel
263 will run faster if you say N here.
265 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
266 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
268 If you don't know what to do here, say N.
271 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-1024)"
276 You should set this to the number of CPUs in your system, but
277 keep in mind that a kernel compiled for, e.g., 2 CPUs will boot but
278 only use 2 CPUs on a >2 CPU system. Setting this to a value larger
279 than 64 will cause the use of a CPU mask array, causing a small
283 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs (EXPERIMENTAL)"
284 depends on SMP && EXPERIMENTAL
288 Say Y here to experiment with turning CPUs off and on. CPUs
289 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
290 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
292 config ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
296 bool "SMT scheduler support"
299 Improves the CPU scheduler's decision making when dealing with
300 Intel IA64 chips with MultiThreading at a cost of slightly increased
301 overhead in some places. If unsure say N here.
303 config PERMIT_BSP_REMOVE
304 bool "Support removal of Bootstrap Processor"
305 depends on HOTPLUG_CPU
308 Say Y here if your platform SAL will support removal of BSP with HOTPLUG_CPU
311 config FORCE_CPEI_RETARGET
312 bool "Force assumption that CPEI can be re-targetted"
313 depends on PERMIT_BSP_REMOVE
316 Say Y if you need to force the assumption that CPEI can be re-targetted to
317 any cpu in the system. This hint is available via ACPI 3.0 specifications.
318 Tiger4 systems are capable of re-directing CPEI to any CPU other than BSP.
319 This option it useful to enable this feature on older BIOS's as well.
320 You can also enable this by using boot command line option force_cpei=1.
323 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
325 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
326 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
327 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
328 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
331 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
332 or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
336 config ARCH_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL
339 config ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
342 Say Y to support efficient handling of discontiguous physical memory,
343 for architectures which are either NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access)
344 or have huge holes in the physical address space for other reasons.
345 See <file:Documentation/vm/numa> for more.

360 depends on !IA64_HP_SIM && !FLATMEM
361 default y if IA64_SGI_SN2
362 select ACPI_NUMA if ACPI
364 Say Y to compile the kernel to support NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory
365 Access). This option is for configuring high-end multiprocessor
366 server systems. If in doubt, say N.
369 int "Max num nodes shift(3-10)"
372 depends on NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES
374 This option specifies the maximum number of nodes in your SSI system.
375 MAX_NUMNODES will be 2^(This value).
376 If in doubt, use the default.
378 config ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP
381 # VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP are functionally equivalent.

384 bool "Virtual mem map"
385 depends on !SPARSEMEM
386 default y if !IA64_HP_SIM
388 Say Y to compile the kernel with support for a virtual mem map.
389 This code also only takes effect if a memory hole of greater than
390 1 Gb is found during boot. You must turn this option on if you
391 require the DISCONTIGMEM option for your machine. If you are

407 bool "Support for Linux/x86 binaries"
409 IA-64 processors can execute IA-32 (X86) instructions. By
410 saying Y here, the kernel will include IA-32 system call
411 emulation support which makes it possible to transparently
412 run IA-32 Linux binaries on an IA-64 Linux system.
417 depends on IA32_SUPPORT
420 config IA64_MCA_RECOVERY
421 tristate "MCA recovery from errors other than TLB."
424 bool "Performance monitor support"
426 Selects whether support for the IA-64 performance monitor hardware
427 is included in the kernel. This makes some kernel data-structures a
428 little bigger and slows down execution a bit, but it is generally
429 a good idea to turn this on. If you're unsure, say Y.
432 tristate "/proc/pal support"
434 If you say Y here, you are able to get PAL (Processor Abstraction
435 Layer) information in /proc/pal. This contains useful information
436 about the processors in your systems, such as cache and TLB sizes
437 and the PAL firmware version in use.
439 To use this option, you have to ensure that the "/proc file system
440 support" (CONFIG_PROC_FS) is enabled, too.
443 def_bool y if (IA64_SGI_SN2 || IA64_GENERIC)
446 bool "ESI (Extensible SAL Interface) support"
448 If you say Y here, support is built into the kernel to
449 make ESI calls. ESI calls are used to support vendor-specific
450 firmware extensions, such as the ability to inject memory-errors
451 for test-purposes. If you're unsure, say N.
453 source "drivers/sn/Kconfig"
456 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
457 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && !IA64_HP_SIM && (!SMP || HOTPLUG_CPU)
459 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
460 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
461 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
462 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
464 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
466 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
467 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
468 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
469 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
470 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
473 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
474 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && IA64_MCA_RECOVERY && !IA64_HP_SIM && (!SMP || HOTPLUG_CPU)
476 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
