224 will run faster if you say N here.
226 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
227 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
228 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
229 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

431 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
432 under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
433 over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
434 the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

481 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
482 The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
483 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
484 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at
485 <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.
487 You can safely choose Y here. However, HPET will only be
488 activated if the platform and the BIOS support this feature.

513 depends on X86_64 && PCI
515 Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
516 on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
517 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
518 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
519 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
520 on Intel systems and as fallback.
521 The code is only active when needed (enough memory and limited
522 device) unless CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG or iommu=force is specified

528 depends on X86_64 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
530 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
531 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
532 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
533 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
534 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
535 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
536 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
537 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
538 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
539 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
540 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

551 Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
555 bool "AMD IOMMU support"
557 depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI
559 With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
560 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
561 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
562 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
563 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
565 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
566 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
569 # need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
573 Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
574 which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
575 of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
576 access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than
577 3 GB of memory. If unsure, say Y.

604 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
605 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
607 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
608 approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.

636 integrated interrupt controller in the CPU. If you have a single-CPU
637 system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
638 enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't

672 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
673 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
674 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
675 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
676 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
677 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
678 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
679 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
680 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
681 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
682 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
683 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

1099 config MATH_EMULATION
1101 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1103 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1104 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1105 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1106 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1107 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1108 coprocessor or this emulation.
1110 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1111 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1112 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1113 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1114 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1115 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1116 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1117 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1119 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1120 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1122 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1123 kernel, it won't hurt.
1126 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1128 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1129 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1130 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1131 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1132 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1133 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1134 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1135 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1136 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1138 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1139 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1142 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1143 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1144 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1145 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1146 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1147 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1148 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1150 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1151 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1152 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1154 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1155 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1233 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1234 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

1236 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1237 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1238 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1239 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1240 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1241 defined by each seccomp mode.

1250 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1251 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1252 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1253 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1254 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1255 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1257 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1258 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1259 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1275 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1276 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1277 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1278 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1280 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1282 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1283 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1284 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1285 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1286 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1294 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1295 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1296 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1297 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1298 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1299 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1316 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1318 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1319 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1320 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1321 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1324 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1325 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1326 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1327 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1328 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1329 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1330 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1331 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1333 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1334 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1335 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1336 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1337 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1338 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1339 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1340 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1341 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1343 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1344 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1345 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1346 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1347 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1348 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1354 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1355 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1357 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1358 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1359 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1360 but are discarded at runtime.
1362 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1363 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1366 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1367 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address

1375 range 0x2000 0x400000
1377 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1378 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1379 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1381 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1382 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1383 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1385 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1386 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1387 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1388 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1389 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1390 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1391 above alignment restrictions.

1448 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1449 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1450 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1451 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1452 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1453 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1455 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1456 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1458 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1459 machines with more than one CPU.
1461 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1462 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1463 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1464 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1466 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1467 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1468 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1470 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1471 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1472 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1473 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1475 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't

1535 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1536 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1537 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1538 this option does nothing.)
1540 config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1541 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1543 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1544 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1545 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1546 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1547 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1548 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1549 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1550 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1551 especially if you are using gpm.
1553 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1554 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1556 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1557 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1558 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1559 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1560 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1561 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1563 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1564 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1566 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1567 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1568 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1592 prompt "PCI access mode"
1593 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1596 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1597 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1598 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1599 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1600 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1602 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1603 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1604 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1605 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1606 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1607 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1608 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1659 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1660 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1665 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1668 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1669 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1670 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1671 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1672 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1674 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1678 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1679 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1680 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1697 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1698 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1699 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1700 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1701 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1707 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1708 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1710 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1711 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1712 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1713 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1736 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1739 for other scx200_* drivers.
