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.

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

482 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
483 The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
484 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
485 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at

488 You can safely choose Y here. However, HPET will only be

516 Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
517 on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
518 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
519 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
520 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
521 on Intel systems and as fallback.
522 The code is only active when needed (enough memory and limited
523 device) unless CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG or iommu=force is specified
527 bool "IBM Calgary IOMMU support"
529 depends on X86_64 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
531 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
532 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
533 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
534 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
535 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
536 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
537 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
538 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
539 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
540 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
541 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

552 Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
556 bool "AMD IOMMU support"
558 depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI
560 With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
561 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
562 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
563 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
564 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
566 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
567 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
570 # need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
574 Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
575 which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
576 of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
577 access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than
578 3 GB of memory. If unsure, say Y.

601 default "32" if X86_NUMAQ || X86_SUMMIT || X86_BIGSMP || X86_ES7000
604 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
605 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
606 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
608 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
609 approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.

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

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

1078 config MATH_EMULATION
1080 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1082 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1083 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1084 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1085 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1086 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1087 coprocessor or this emulation.
1089 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1090 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1091 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1092 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1093 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1094 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1095 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1096 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1098 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1099 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1101 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1102 kernel, it won't hurt.
1105 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1107 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1108 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1109 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1110 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1111 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1112 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1113 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1114 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1115 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1117 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1118 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1121 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1122 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1123 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1124 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1125 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1126 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1127 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1129 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1130 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1131 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1133 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1134 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1136 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1215 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1216 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1217 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1218 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1219 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1220 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1221 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1222 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1223 defined by each seccomp mode.

1228 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1229 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1231 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1232 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1233 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1234 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1235 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1236 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1237 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1239 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1240 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1241 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1243 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL

1254 bool "kexec system call"
1255 depends on X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1257 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1258 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1259 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1260 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1262 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1264 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1265 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1266 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1267 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1268 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1271 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1272 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1273 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1275 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1276 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1277 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1278 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1279 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1280 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1281 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1282 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1283 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1287 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1288 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1291 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1293 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1294 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1295 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1296 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1299 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1300 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1301 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1302 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1303 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1304 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1305 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1306 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1308 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1309 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1310 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1311 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1312 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1313 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1314 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1315 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1316 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1318 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1319 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1320 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1321 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1322 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1323 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1326 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1329 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1330 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1332 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1333 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1334 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1335 but are discarded at runtime.
1337 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1338 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1341 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1342 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1343 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1350 range 0x2000 0x400000
1352 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1353 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1354 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1356 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1357 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1358 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1360 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1361 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1362 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1363 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1364 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1365 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1366 above alignment restrictions.

1423 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1424 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1425 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1426 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1427 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1428 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1430 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1431 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1433 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1434 machines with more than one CPU.
1436 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1437 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1438 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1439 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1441 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1442 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1443 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1445 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1446 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1447 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1448 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1450 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1451 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1452 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1491 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1492 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1493 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1494 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1495 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1496 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1497 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1498 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1499 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1500 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1501 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1507 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1508 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1509 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1510 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1511 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1512 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1521 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1522 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1523 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

1531 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1532 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1533 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1534 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1535 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1536 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1538 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1539 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1541 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1542 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1543 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1562 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside

1568 depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VISWS
1571 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1572 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1573 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1574 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1575 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1577 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1578 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1579 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1580 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1581 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1582 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1583 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1640 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1643 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1644 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1645 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1646 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1647 to use physical addresses for DMA.

1653 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1654 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This

1672 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1673 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1674 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1675 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1676 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1682 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1683 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1685 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1686 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1687 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1688 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1711 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1713 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1714 for other scx200_* drivers.
