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

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

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

394 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
395 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
396 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
397 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
398 kernel image to be distributed with memtest built in, but not

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

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

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

994 config MATH_EMULATION
996 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
998 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
999 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1000 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1001 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1002 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1003 coprocessor or this emulation.
1005 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1006 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1007 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1008 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1009 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1010 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1011 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1012 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1014 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1015 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1017 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1018 kernel, it won't hurt.
1021 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1023 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1024 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1025 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1026 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1027 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1028 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1029 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1030 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1031 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1033 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1034 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1037 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1038 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1039 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1040 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1041 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1042 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1043 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1045 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1046 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1047 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1049 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1050 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1052 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.
1056 prompt "x86 PAT support"
1059 Use PAT attributes to setup page level cache control.
1061 PATs are the modern equivalents of MTRRs and are much more

1074 This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are

1077 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware.
1078 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
1079 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1080 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the
1081 resultant kernel should continue to boot on existing non-EFI

1094 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1097 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1098 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1099 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1100 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1101 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1102 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1103 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1104 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1105 defined by each seccomp mode.
1107 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.
1109 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1110 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1111 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1113 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1114 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1115 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1116 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1117 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1118 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1119 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1121 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1122 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1123 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1125 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL
1126 bool "Use stack-protector for all functions"

1129 Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for

1131 this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.

1136 bool "kexec system call"
1137 depends on X86_64 || X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1139 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1140 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1141 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1142 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1144 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1146 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1147 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1148 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1149 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1150 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1153 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1154 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1155 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1157 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1158 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1159 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1160 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1161 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1162 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1163 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1164 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1165 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1169 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1170 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1173 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1175 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1176 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1177 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1178 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1181 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1182 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1183 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1184 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1185 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1186 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1187 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1188 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1190 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1191 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1192 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1193 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1194 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1195 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1196 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1197 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1198 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1200 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1201 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1202 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1203 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1204 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1205 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1208 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1211 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1212 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1214 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1215 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1216 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1217 but are discarded at runtime.
1219 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1220 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1223 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1224 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1225 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1232 range 0x2000 0x400000
1234 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1235 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1236 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1238 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1239 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1240 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1242 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1243 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1244 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1245 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1246 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1247 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1248 above alignment restrictions.

1305 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1306 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1307 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1308 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1309 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1310 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1312 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1313 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1315 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1316 machines with more than one CPU.
1318 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1319 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1320 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1321 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1323 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1324 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1325 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1327 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1328 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1329 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1330 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1332 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1333 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1334 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1370 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1372 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1373 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1374 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1375 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1376 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1377 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1378 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1379 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1380 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1381 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1382 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1383 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1389 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1390 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1391 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1392 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1393 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1394 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1403 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1404 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1405 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1406 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1413 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1415 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1416 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1507 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1508 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1509 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1510 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1515 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1518 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1519 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1520 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1521 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1522 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1524 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1528 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1529 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1530 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1531 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1545 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1547 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1548 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1549 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1550 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1551 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1557 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1558 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1560 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1561 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1562 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1563 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1565 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1575 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1576 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1577 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1578 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1584 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1586 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1587 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1588 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1589 for other scx200_* drivers.

1598 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1599 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1600 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1601 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1602 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1609 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1610 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1611 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1612 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
