39 mainmenu "Linux Kernel Configuration"
49 comment "Processor type and features"
54 Select this option if you have a 64 bit IBM zSeries machine
55 and want to use the 64 bit addressing mode.
62 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
64 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
65 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
66 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
68 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
69 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
70 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
71 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
72 will run faster if you say N here.
74 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
75 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
77 Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
80 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
85 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
86 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
87 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
89 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
90 approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
93 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
98 Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
99 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
100 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
102 config DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST
107 bool "IEEE FPU emulation"
110 This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
111 on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
115 bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
118 Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
119 handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
120 (and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
121 executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".
123 config SYSVIPC_COMPAT
125 depends on COMPAT && SYSVIPC
132 comment "Code generation options"
135 prompt "Processor type"
139 bool "S/390 model G5 and G6"
142 Select this to build a 31 bit kernel that works
143 on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
146 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"
148 Select this to optimize for zSeries machines. This
149 will enable some optimizations that are not available
150 on older 31 bit only CPUs.
153 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z890 and z990"
155 Select this enable optimizations for model z890/z990.
156 This will be slightly faster but does not work on
157 older machines such as the z900.
162 Select this to enable optimizations for IBM System z9-109, IBM
163 System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC), and IBM System z9 Business
164 Class (z9 BC). The kernel will be slightly faster but will not
165 work on older machines such as the z990, z890, z900, and z800.
170 bool "Pack kernel stack"
172 This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
173 is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
174 the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
175 frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
176 minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
177 -mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
178 and 24 byte on 64 bit.
180 Say Y if you are unsure.
183 bool "Use 4kb/8kb for kernel stack instead of 8kb/16kb"
184 depends on PACK_STACK
186 If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
187 option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
188 the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
189 instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
190 reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
193 Say N if you are unsure.
197 bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
199 This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
200 -mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
201 it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
202 an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
204 Say N if you are unsure.
207 int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
209 depends on CHECK_STACK
212 This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
213 end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
214 area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
215 needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
216 interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
217 The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
221 bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
223 This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
224 -mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
225 will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
226 create a stack frame bigger then CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
228 Say N if you are unsure.
230 config WARN_STACK_SIZE
231 int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
233 depends on WARN_STACK
236 This allows you to specify the maximum frame size a function may
237 have without the compiler complaining about it.
239 config ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP
244 comment "I/O subsystem configuration"
246 config MACHCHK_WARNING
247 bool "Process warning machine checks"
249 Select this option if you want the machine check handler on IBM S/390 or
250 zSeries to process warning machine checks (e.g. on power failures).
254 tristate "QDIO support"
256 This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for
259 For details please refer to the documentation provided by IBM at
260 <http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390>
262 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
263 module will be called qdio.
267 config QDIO_PERF_STATS
268 bool "Performance statistics in /proc"
271 Say Y here to get performance statistics in /proc/qdio_perf
276 bool "Extended debugging information"
279 Say Y here to get extended debugging output in
280 /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/qdio...
281 Warning: this option reduces the performance of the QDIO module.
288 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
290 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
291 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
292 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
293 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
296 Say N if you are unsure.
299 bool "Builtin IPL record support"
301 If you want to use the produced kernel to IPL directly from a
302 device, you have to merge a bootsector specific to the device
303 into the first bytes of the kernel. You will have to select the
307 prompt "IPL method generated into head.S"
311 Select "tape" if you want to IPL the image from a Tape.
313 Select "vm_reader" if you are running under VM/ESA and want
314 to IPL the image from the emulated card reader.
324 source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
327 bool "Show crashed user process info"
329 Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
330 a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
331 are an S390 port maintainer.
334 bool "Pseudo page fault support"
336 Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
337 handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
338 has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
339 pseudo page fault handling will be used.
340 Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
341 implementation that causes some problems.
342 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
346 bool "VM shared kernel support"
348 Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
349 Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
350 usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
351 You should only select this option if you know what you are
352 doing and want to exploit this feature.
355 tristate "Cooperative memory management"
357 Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
358 to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
359 by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
360 makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
361 will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
362 allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
363 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
367 bool "/proc interface to cooperative memory management"
370 Select this option to enable the /proc interface to the
371 cooperative memory management.
374 bool "IUCV special message interface to cooperative memory management"
375 depends on CMM && (SMSGIUCV=y || CMM=SMSGIUCV)
377 Select this option to enable the special message interface to
378 the cooperative memory management.
381 bool "Virtual CPU timer support"
383 This provides a kernel interface for virtual CPU timers.
386 config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
387 bool "Base user process accounting on virtual cpu timer"
388 depends on VIRT_TIMER
390 Select this option to use CPU timer deltas to do user
394 bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
395 depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
397 This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
398 monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
399 intervals, once the timer is started.
400 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
401 i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
402 A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
403 /proc/appldata/interval.
405 Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
406 The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
409 tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
410 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
412 This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
413 Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
414 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
415 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
419 The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
421 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
425 tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
426 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
428 This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
429 CPU utilisation, etc.
430 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
431 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
435 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
438 config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
439 tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
440 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
442 This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
443 currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
445 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
446 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
450 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
454 bool "No HZ timer ticks in idle"
456 Switches the regular HZ timer off when the system is going idle.
457 This helps z/VM to detect that the Linux system is idle. VM can
458 then "swap-out" this guest which reduces memory usage. It also
459 reduces the overhead of idle systems.
461 The HZ timer can be switched on/off via /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer.
462 hz_timer=0 means HZ timer is disabled. hz_timer=1 means HZ
465 config NO_IDLE_HZ_INIT
466 bool "HZ timer in idle off by default"
467 depends on NO_IDLE_HZ
469 The HZ timer is switched off in idle by default. That means the
470 HZ timer is already disabled at boot time.
473 bool "s390 hypervisor file system support"
474 select SYS_HYPERVISOR
477 This is a virtual file system intended to provide accounting
478 information in an s390 hypervisor environment.
481 bool "kexec system call"
483 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
484 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
485 but is independent of hardware/microcode support.
