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 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
209 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
210 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
211 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

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

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

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

599 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
600 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
601 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
602 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
603 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
604 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
605 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
606 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
607 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
608 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

981 config MATH_EMULATION
983 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
985 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
986 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
987 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
988 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
989 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
990 coprocessor or this emulation.
992 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
993 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
994 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
995 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
996 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
997 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
998 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
999 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1001 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1002 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1004 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1005 kernel, it won't hurt.
1008 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1010 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1011 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1012 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1013 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1014 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1015 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1016 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1017 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1018 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1020 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1021 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1024 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1025 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1026 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1027 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1028 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1029 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1030 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1032 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1033 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1034 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1036 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1037 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1039 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1061 This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are

1064 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware.
1065 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
1066 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1067 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the
1068 resultant kernel should continue to boot on existing non-EFI

1081 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1084 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1085 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1086 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1087 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1088 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1089 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1090 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1091 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1092 defined by each seccomp mode.
1094 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.
1096 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1097 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1098 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1100 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1101 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1102 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1103 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1104 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1105 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1106 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1108 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1109 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1110 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1112 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL
1113 bool "Use stack-protector for all functions"
1114 depends on CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1116 Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for
1117 functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling
1118 this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.
1120 source kernel/Kconfig.hz
1123 bool "kexec system call"
1124 depends on X86_64 || X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1126 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1127 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1128 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1129 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1131 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1133 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1134 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1135 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1136 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1137 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1140 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1141 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1142 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1144 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1145 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1146 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1147 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1148 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1149 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1150 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1151 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1152 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1156 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1157 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1160 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1162 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1163 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1164 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1165 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1168 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1169 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1170 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1171 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1172 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1173 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1174 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1175 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1177 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1178 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1179 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1180 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1181 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1182 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1183 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1184 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1185 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1187 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1188 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1189 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1190 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1191 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1192 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1195 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1198 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1199 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1201 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1202 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1203 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1204 but are discarded at runtime.
1206 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1207 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1210 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1211 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1212 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1219 range 0x2000 0x400000
1221 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1222 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1223 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1225 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1226 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1227 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1229 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1230 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1231 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1232 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1233 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1234 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1235 above alignment restrictions.

1292 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1293 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1294 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1295 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1296 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1297 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1299 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1300 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1302 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1303 machines with more than one CPU.
1305 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1306 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1307 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1308 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1310 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1311 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1312 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1314 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1315 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1316 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1317 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1319 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1320 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1321 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1354 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.

1357 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1359 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1360 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1361 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1362 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1363 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1364 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1365 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1366 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1367 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1368 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1369 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1370 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1376 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1377 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1378 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1379 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1380 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1381 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1388 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1389 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1390 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1391 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1392 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1393 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1394 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1395 especially if you are using gpm.

1400 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1402 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1403 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1494 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1495 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1496 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1497 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1502 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1505 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1506 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1507 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1508 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1509 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1511 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1515 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1516 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1517 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1518 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1532 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1534 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1535 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1536 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1537 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1538 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1544 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1545 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1547 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1548 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1549 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1550 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1552 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1562 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1563 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1564 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1565 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1571 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1573 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1574 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1575 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1576 for other scx200_* drivers.
1578 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

1585 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1586 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1587 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1588 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1589 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1596 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1597 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1598 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1599 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
