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

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

420 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
421 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
422 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel

431 depends on MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
435 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
436 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
437 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
438 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is
439 set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
440 enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.

523 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
524 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
525 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
526 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
527 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
528 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
529 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
530 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
531 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be

638 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
639 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
640 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
641 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
642 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
643 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
644 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

1028 config MATH_EMULATION
1030 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1032 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1033 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1034 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1035 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1036 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1037 coprocessor or this emulation.
1039 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1040 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1041 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1042 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1043 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1044 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1045 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1046 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1048 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1049 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1051 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1052 kernel, it won't hurt.
1055 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1057 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1058 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1059 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1060 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1061 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1062 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1063 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1064 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1065 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1067 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1068 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1071 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1072 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1073 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1074 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1075 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1076 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1077 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1079 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1080 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1081 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1083 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1084 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1086 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1113 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1114 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the

1131 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1132 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1133 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1134 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1135 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1136 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1137 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1138 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1139 defined by each seccomp mode.

1148 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1149 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1150 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1151 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1152 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1153 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1155 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1156 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1157 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1173 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1174 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1175 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1176 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1178 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1180 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1181 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1182 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1183 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1184 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1188 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1189 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1191 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1192 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1193 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1194 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1195 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1196 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1197 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1198 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1199 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1203 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1204 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1207 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1209 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1210 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1211 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1212 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1215 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1216 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1217 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1218 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1219 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1220 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1221 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1222 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1224 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1225 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1226 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1227 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1228 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1229 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1230 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1231 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1232 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1234 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1235 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1236 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1237 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1238 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1239 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1242 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1245 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1246 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1248 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1249 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1250 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1251 but are discarded at runtime.
1253 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1254 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1257 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1258 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1259 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1266 range 0x2000 0x400000
1268 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1269 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1270 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1272 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1273 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1274 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1276 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1277 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1278 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1279 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1280 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1281 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1282 above alignment restrictions.

1339 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1340 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1341 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1342 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1343 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1344 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1346 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1347 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1349 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1350 machines with more than one CPU.
1352 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1353 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1354 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1355 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1357 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1358 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1359 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1361 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1362 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1363 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1364 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1366 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1367 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1368 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1407 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1408 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1409 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1410 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1411 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1412 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1413 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1414 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1415 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1416 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1417 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1423 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1424 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1425 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1426 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1427 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1437 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1438 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1439 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1440 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1447 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1485 depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VISWS
1488 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1489 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1490 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1491 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1492 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1494 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1495 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1496 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1497 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1498 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1499 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1500 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1552 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1557 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1560 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1561 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1562 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1563 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1564 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1566 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1570 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1571 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1572 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1573 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1587 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1589 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1590 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1591 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1592 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1593 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1599 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1600 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1602 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1603 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1604 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1605 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1607 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1628 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1630 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1631 for other scx200_* drivers.

1640 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1641 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1642 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1643 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1644 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1652 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1653 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
