114 tristate "/dev/cpu/microcode - Intel CPU microcode support"
116 If you say Y here the 'File systems' section, you will be
117 able to update the microcode on Intel processors. You will
118 obviously need the actual microcode binary data itself which is
119 not shipped with the Linux kernel.
121 For latest news and information on obtaining all the required
122 ingredients for this driver, check:
123 <http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/>.
125 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
126 module will be called microcode.
127 If you use modprobe or kmod you may also want to add the line
128 'alias char-major-10-184 microcode' to your /etc/modules.conf file.
131 tristate "/dev/cpu/*/msr - Model-specific register support"
133 This device gives privileged processes access to the x86
134 Model-Specific Registers (MSRs). It is a character device with
135 major 202 and minors 0 to 31 for /dev/cpu/0/msr to /dev/cpu/31/msr.
136 MSR accesses are directed to a specific CPU on multi-processor
140 tristate "/dev/cpu/*/cpuid - CPU information support"
142 This device gives processes access to the x86 CPUID instruction to
143 be executed on a specific processor. It is a character device
144 with major 203 and minors 0 to 31 for /dev/cpu/0/cpuid to

171 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
173 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
174 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
175 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
176 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
177 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
178 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
179 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
180 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
181 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
183 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
184 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
187 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
188 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
189 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
191 Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.
193 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.
196 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
198 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
199 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
200 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
202 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
203 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
204 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
205 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
206 will run faster if you say N here.
208 If you don't know what to do here, say N.
211 bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"
215 SMT scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making
216 when dealing with Intel Pentium 4 chips with HyperThreading at a
217 cost of slightly increased overhead in some places. If unsure say
220 source "kernel/Kconfig.preempt"
223 bool "K8 NUMA support"
227 Enable NUMA (Non Unified Memory Architecture) support for
228 AMD Opteron Multiprocessor systems. The kernel will try to allocate
229 memory used by a CPU on the local memory controller of the CPU
230 and add some more NUMA awareness to the kernel.
231 This code is recommended on all multiprocessor Opteron systems
232 and normally doesn't hurt on others.
235 bool "NUMA emulation support"
239 Enable NUMA emulation. A flat machine will be split
240 into virtual nodes when booted with "numa=fake=N", where N is the
241 number of nodes. This is only useful for debugging.

279 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-256)"
284 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
285 kernel will support. Current maximum is 256 CPUs due to
286 APIC addressing limits. Less depending on the hardware.
288 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU requires
289 memory in the static kernel configuration.
292 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs (EXPERIMENTAL)"
293 depends on SMP && HOTPLUG && EXPERIMENTAL
295 Say Y here to experiment with turning CPUs off and on. CPUs
296 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
297 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
304 Use the IA-PC HPET (High Precision Event Timer) to manage
305 time in preference to the PIT and RTC, if a HPET is
306 present. The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
307 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
308 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at
309 <http://www.intel.com/labs/platcomp/hpet/hpetspec.htm>.
316 Support the ACPI PM timer for time keeping. This is slow,
317 but is useful on some chipsets without HPET on systems with more
318 than one CPU. On a single processor or single socket multi core
319 system it is normally not required.
320 When the PM timer is active 64bit vsyscalls are disabled
321 and should not be enabled (/proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64 should
323 The kernel selects the PM timer only as a last resort, so it is
324 useful to enable just in case.
326 config HPET_EMULATE_RTC
327 bool "Provide RTC interrupt"
328 depends on HPET_TIMER && RTC=y
334 Support the K8 IOMMU. Needed to run systems with more than 4GB of memory
335 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC (Double Address
336 Cycle). The IOMMU can be turned off at runtime with the iommu=off parameter.
337 Normally the kernel will take the right choice by itself.
340 # need this always enabled with GART_IOMMU for the VIA workaround
343 depends on GART_IOMMU
348 depends on !GART_IOMMU && !SWIOTLB
351 Don't use IOMMU code. This will cause problems when you have more than 4GB
352 of memory and any 32-bit devices. Don't turn on unless you know what you
356 bool "Machine check support" if EMBEDDED
359 Include a machine check error handler to report hardware errors.
360 This version will require the mcelog utility to decode some
361 machine check error logs. See
362 ftp://ftp.x86-64.org/pub/linux/tools/mcelog
365 bool "Intel MCE features"
366 depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
369 Additional support for intel specific MCE features such as
372 config PHYSICAL_START
373 hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if EMBEDDED
376 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
377 Primarily used in the case of kexec on panic where the
378 fail safe kernel needs to run at a different address than
381 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
384 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
385 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
387 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
388 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
389 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
390 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
392 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
394 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
395 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
396 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
397 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
398 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
401 bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
405 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
406 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
407 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
408 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
409 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
410 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
411 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
412 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
413 defined by each seccomp mode.
415 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

468 Still very experimental. When a driver works on IA64/ppc64/pa-risc it should
