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

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

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

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

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

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

601 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
602 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
603 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
604 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
605 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
606 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
607 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
608 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

991 config MATH_EMULATION
993 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
995 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
996 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
997 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
998 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
999 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1000 coprocessor or this emulation.
1002 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1003 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1004 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1005 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1006 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1007 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1008 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1009 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1011 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1012 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1014 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1015 kernel, it won't hurt.
1018 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1020 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1021 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1022 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1023 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1024 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1025 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1026 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1027 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1028 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1030 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1031 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1034 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1035 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1036 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1037 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1038 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1039 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1040 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1042 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1043 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1044 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1046 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1047 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1049 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.
1053 prompt "x86 PAT support"
1056 Use PAT attributes to setup page level cache control.
1058 PATs are the modern equivalents of MTRRs and are much more

1071 This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are

1075 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
1076 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1077 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the

1091 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1094 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1095 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1096 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1097 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1098 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1099 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1100 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1101 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1102 defined by each seccomp mode.
1104 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.
1106 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1107 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1108 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1110 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1111 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1112 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1113 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1114 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1115 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1116 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1118 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1119 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1120 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1122 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL

1133 bool "kexec system call"
1134 depends on X86_64 || X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1136 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1137 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1138 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1139 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1141 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1143 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1144 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1145 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1146 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1147 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1150 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1151 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1152 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1154 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1155 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1156 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1157 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1158 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1159 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1160 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1161 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1162 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1166 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1167 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1170 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1172 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1173 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1174 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1175 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1178 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1179 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1180 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1181 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1182 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1183 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1184 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1185 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1187 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1188 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1189 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1190 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1191 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1192 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1193 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1194 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1195 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1197 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1198 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1199 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1200 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1201 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1202 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1205 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1208 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1209 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1211 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1212 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1213 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1214 but are discarded at runtime.
1216 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1217 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1220 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1221 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1222 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1229 range 0x2000 0x400000
1231 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1232 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1233 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1235 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1236 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1237 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1239 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1240 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1241 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1242 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1243 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1244 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1245 above alignment restrictions.

1302 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1303 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1304 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1305 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1306 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1307 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1309 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1310 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1312 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1313 machines with more than one CPU.
1315 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1316 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1317 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1318 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1320 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1321 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1322 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1324 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1325 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1326 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1327 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1329 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1330 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1331 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1369 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1370 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1371 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1372 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1373 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1374 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1375 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1376 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1377 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1378 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1379 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1386 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1387 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1388 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1389 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1390 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1400 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1401 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1402 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

1504 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1505 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1506 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1507 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1512 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1515 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1516 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1517 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1518 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1519 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1521 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1525 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1526 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1527 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1528 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1542 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1544 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1545 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1546 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1547 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1548 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1554 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1555 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1557 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1558 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1559 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1560 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1562 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1572 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1573 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1574 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1575 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1581 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1583 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1584 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1585 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1586 for other scx200_* drivers.
1588 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

1595 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1596 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1597 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1598 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1599 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1606 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1607 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1608 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1609 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
