196 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
197 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
198 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
200 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
201 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
202 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
203 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
204 will run faster if you say N here.
206 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
207 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
208 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
209 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
211 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
212 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power

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

378 over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
379 the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

388 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
389 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
390 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
391 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single

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

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

527 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
528 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 255 and the
529 minimum value which makes sense is 2.

595 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

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

979 config MATH_EMULATION
981 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
983 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
984 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
985 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
986 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
987 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
988 coprocessor or this emulation.
990 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
991 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
992 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
993 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
994 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
995 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
996 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
997 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
999 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1000 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1002 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1003 kernel, it won't hurt.
1006 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1008 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1009 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1010 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1011 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1012 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1013 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1014 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1015 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1016 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1018 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1019 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1022 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1023 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1024 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1025 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1026 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1027 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1028 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1030 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1031 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1032 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1034 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1035 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1037 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1059 This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are

1062 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware.
1063 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
1064 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1065 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the
1066 resultant kernel should continue to boot on existing non-EFI

1079 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1082 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1083 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1084 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1085 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1086 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1087 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1088 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1089 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1090 defined by each seccomp mode.
1092 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.
1094 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1095 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1096 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1098 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1099 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1100 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1101 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1102 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1103 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1104 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1106 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1107 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1108 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1110 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL
1111 bool "Use stack-protector for all functions"
1112 depends on CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1114 Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for
1115 functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling
1116 this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.

1121 bool "kexec system call"
1122 depends on X86_64 || X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1124 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1125 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1126 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1127 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1129 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1131 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1132 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1133 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1134 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1135 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1138 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1139 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1140 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1142 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1143 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1144 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1145 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1146 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1147 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1148 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1149 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1150 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1154 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1155 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1158 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1160 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1161 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1162 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1163 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1166 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1167 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1168 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1169 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1170 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1171 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1172 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1173 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1175 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1176 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1177 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1178 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1179 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1180 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1181 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1182 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1183 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1185 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1186 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1187 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1188 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1189 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1190 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1193 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1196 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1197 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1199 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1200 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1201 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1202 but are discarded at runtime.
1204 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1205 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1208 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1209 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1210 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1217 range 0x2000 0x400000
1219 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1220 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1221 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1223 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1224 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1225 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1227 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1228 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1229 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1230 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1231 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1232 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1233 above alignment restrictions.

1290 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1291 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1292 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1293 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1294 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1295 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1297 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1298 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1300 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1301 machines with more than one CPU.
1303 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1304 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1305 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1306 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1308 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1309 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1310 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1312 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1313 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1314 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1315 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1317 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1318 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1319 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1352 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.

1355 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1357 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1358 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1359 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1360 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1361 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1362 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1363 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1364 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1365 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1366 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1367 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1368 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1372 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1374 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1375 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1376 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1377 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1378 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1379 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1386 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1387 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1388 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1389 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1390 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1391 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1398 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1400 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1401 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1492 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1493 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.

1500 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1503 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1504 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1505 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1506 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1507 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1509 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1513 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1514 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1515 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1516 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1530 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1532 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1533 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1534 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1535 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1536 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1542 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1543 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1545 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1546 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1547 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1548 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1550 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1560 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1561 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1562 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1563 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1569 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1571 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1572 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1573 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1574 for other scx200_* drivers.
1576 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

1583 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1584 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1585 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1586 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1587 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1594 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1595 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1596 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1597 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
