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

444 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
445 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is

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

645 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
646 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the

648 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
649 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
650 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
651 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

1035 config MATH_EMULATION
1037 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1039 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1040 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1041 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1042 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1043 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1044 coprocessor or this emulation.
1046 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1047 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1048 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1049 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1050 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1051 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1052 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1053 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1055 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1056 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1058 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1059 kernel, it won't hurt.
1062 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1064 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1065 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1066 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1067 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1068 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1069 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1070 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1071 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1072 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1074 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1075 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1078 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1079 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1080 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1081 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1082 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1083 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1084 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1086 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1087 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1088 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1090 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1091 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1093 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1138 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1139 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1140 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1141 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1142 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1143 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1144 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1145 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1146 defined by each seccomp mode.
1148 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

1155 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1156 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1157 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1158 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1159 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1160 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1162 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1163 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1164 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1182 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1183 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1185 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1187 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1188 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1189 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1190 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is

1198 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1199 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1200 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1201 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1202 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1203 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1204 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1205 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1210 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1211 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1214 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1216 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1217 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1218 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1219 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1222 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1223 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1224 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1225 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1226 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1227 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1228 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1229 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1231 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1232 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1233 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1234 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1235 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1236 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1237 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1238 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1239 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1241 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1242 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1243 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1244 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1245 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1246 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1249 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1252 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1253 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1255 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1256 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1257 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1258 but are discarded at runtime.
1260 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1261 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1264 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1265 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address

1273 range 0x2000 0x400000
1275 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1276 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1277 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1279 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1280 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1281 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1283 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1284 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1285 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1286 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1287 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1288 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1289 above alignment restrictions.

1346 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1347 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1348 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1349 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1350 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1351 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1353 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1354 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1356 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1357 machines with more than one CPU.
1359 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1360 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1361 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1362 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1364 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1365 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1366 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1368 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1369 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1370 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1371 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1373 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1374 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1375 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1414 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1415 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1416 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1417 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1418 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1419 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1420 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1421 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1422 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1423 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1424 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1430 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1431 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1432 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1433 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1434 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1444 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1445 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1446 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

1454 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1487 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1488 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1491 prompt "PCI access mode"
1492 depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VISWS
1495 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1496 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1497 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1498 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1499 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1501 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1502 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1503 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1504 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1505 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1506 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1507 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1556 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1557 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1558 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1559 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1564 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1567 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1568 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1569 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1570 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1571 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1573 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1577 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1578 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1579 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1580 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1594 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1596 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1597 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1598 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1599 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1600 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1606 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1607 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1609 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1610 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1611 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1612 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1614 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1624 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1625 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1626 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1627 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1633 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1635 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1636 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1637 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1638 for other scx200_* drivers.
1640 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

1647 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1648 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1649 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1650 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1651 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1658 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1659 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1660 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1661 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
