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
225 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

269 This option is used for getting Linux to run on a (IBM/Sequent) NUMA
270 multiquad box. This changes the way that processors are bootstrapped,
271 and uses Clustered Logical APIC addressing mode instead of Flat Logical.

276 bool "Summit/EXA (IBM x440)"
277 depends on X86_32 && SMP
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.

289 This option is needed for the systems that have more than 8 CPUs
290 and if the system is not of any sub-arch type above.

295 bool "SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation)"
298 The SGI Visual Workstation series is an IA32-based workstation
299 based on SGI systems chips with some legacy PC hardware attached.
301 Say Y here to create a kernel to run on the SGI 320 or 540.
303 A kernel compiled for the Visual Workstation will not run on PCs

318 Support for Unisys ES7000 systems. Say 'Y' here if this kernel is

341 Support for ScaleMP vSMP systems. Say 'Y' here if this kernel is
342 supposed to run on these EM64T-based machines. Only choose this option
343 if you have one of these machines.

352 Calculate simpler /proc/<PID>/wchan values. If this option
353 is disabled then wchan values will recurse back to the

377 VMI provides a paravirtualized interface to the VMware ESX server
378 (it could be used by other hypervisors in theory too, but is not
379 at the moment), by linking the kernel to a GPL-ed ROM module

388 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
389 under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
390 over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
391 the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.
395 config MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
396 bool "Memtest boot parameter"
400 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
401 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
402 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
403 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
404 kernel image to be distributed with memtest built in, but not
407 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.
409 config MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM_VALUE
410 int "Memtest boot parameter default value (0-4)"
411 depends on MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
415 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
416 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
417 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
418 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is
419 set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
420 enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.

494 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
495 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
496 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
497 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
498 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
499 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
500 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
501 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
502 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
503 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
504 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

540 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 255 and the
541 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
543 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
544 approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.

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

1000 config MATH_EMULATION
1002 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1004 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1005 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1006 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1007 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1008 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1009 coprocessor or this emulation.
1011 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1012 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1013 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1014 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1015 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1016 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1017 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1018 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1020 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1021 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1023 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1024 kernel, it won't hurt.
1027 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1029 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1030 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1031 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1032 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1033 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1034 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1035 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1036 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1037 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1039 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1040 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1043 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1044 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1045 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1046 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1047 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1048 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1049 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1051 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1052 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1053 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1055 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1056 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1058 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.
1062 prompt "x86 PAT support"
1065 Use PAT attributes to setup page level cache control.

1084 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
1085 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1086 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the

1100 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1103 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1104 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1105 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1106 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1107 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1108 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1109 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1110 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1111 defined by each seccomp mode.
1113 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.
1115 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1116 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1117 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1119 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1120 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1121 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1122 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1123 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1124 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1125 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1127 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1128 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1129 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1131 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL

1142 bool "kexec system call"
1143 depends on X86_64 || X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1145 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1146 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1147 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1148 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1150 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1152 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1153 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1154 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1155 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1156 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1159 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1160 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1161 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1163 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1164 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1165 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1166 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1167 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1168 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1169 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1170 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1171 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1175 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1176 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1179 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1181 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1182 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1183 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1184 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1187 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1188 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1189 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1190 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1191 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1192 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1193 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1194 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1196 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1197 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1198 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1199 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1200 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1201 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1202 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1203 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1204 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1206 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1207 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1208 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1209 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1210 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1211 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1214 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1217 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1218 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1220 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1221 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1222 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1223 but are discarded at runtime.
1225 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1226 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1229 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1230 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1231 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1238 range 0x2000 0x400000
1240 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1241 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1242 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1244 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1245 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1246 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1248 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1249 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1250 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1251 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1252 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1253 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1254 above alignment restrictions.

1311 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1312 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1313 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1314 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1315 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1316 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1318 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1319 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1321 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1322 machines with more than one CPU.
1324 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1325 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1326 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1327 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1329 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1330 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1331 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1333 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1334 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1335 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1336 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1338 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1339 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1340 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1376 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1378 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1379 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1380 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1381 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1382 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1383 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1384 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1385 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1386 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1387 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1388 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1389 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1395 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1396 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1397 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1398 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1399 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1409 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1410 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1411 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1412 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1419 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1521 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1524 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1525 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1526 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1527 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1528 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1530 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1534 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1535 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1536 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1537 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1551 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1553 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1554 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1555 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1556 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1557 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1563 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1564 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1566 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1567 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1568 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1569 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1571 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1581 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1582 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See

1584 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1590 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1592 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1593 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1594 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1595 for other scx200_* drivers.

1604 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1605 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1606 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1607 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1608 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1615 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1616 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1617 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1618 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
