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

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.

438 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
439 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
440 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
441 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is

527 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
528 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
529 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
530 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
531 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
532 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
533 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
534 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be

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

860 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
861 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
862 available to user programs, making the address space there

1031 config MATH_EMULATION
1033 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1035 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1036 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1037 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1038 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1039 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1040 coprocessor or this emulation.
1042 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1043 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1044 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1045 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1046 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1047 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1048 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1049 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1051 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1052 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1054 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1055 kernel, it won't hurt.
1058 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1060 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1061 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1062 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1063 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1064 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1065 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1066 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1067 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1068 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1070 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1071 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1074 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1075 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1076 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1077 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1078 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1079 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1080 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1082 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1083 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1084 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1086 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1087 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1171 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1172 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1173 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1174 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1175 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls

1185 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1186 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1187 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1188 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1189 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1190 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1192 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1193 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1194 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1207 bool "kexec system call"

1210 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1211 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1212 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1213 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1215 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1217 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1218 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1219 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1220 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1221 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1224 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1225 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1226 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1228 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1229 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1230 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1231 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1232 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1233 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1234 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1235 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1236 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1240 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1241 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1244 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1246 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1247 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1248 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1249 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1252 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1253 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1254 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1255 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1256 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1257 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1258 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1259 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1261 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1262 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1263 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1264 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1265 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1266 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1267 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1268 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1269 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1271 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1272 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1273 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1274 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1275 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1276 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1279 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1282 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1283 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1285 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1286 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1287 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1288 but are discarded at runtime.
1290 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1291 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1294 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1295 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1296 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1303 range 0x2000 0x400000
1305 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1306 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1307 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1309 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1310 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1311 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1313 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1314 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1315 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1316 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1317 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1318 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1319 above alignment restrictions.

1376 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1377 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1378 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1379 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1380 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1381 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1383 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1384 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1386 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1387 machines with more than one CPU.
1389 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1390 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1391 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1392 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1394 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1395 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1396 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1398 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1399 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1400 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1401 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1403 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1404 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1405 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1436 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1438 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.

1441 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1443 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1444 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1445 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1446 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1447 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1448 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1449 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1450 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1451 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1452 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1453 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1454 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1458 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1460 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1461 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1462 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1463 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1464 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1465 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1466 this option does nothing.)

1472 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1473 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1474 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1475 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1476 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1477 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1478 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1479 especially if you are using gpm.

1482 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1484 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1485 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1486 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1487 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1488 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you

1515 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
1516 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1517 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1518 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

1522 depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VISWS
1525 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1526 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1527 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1528 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1529 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1531 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1532 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1533 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1534 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1535 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1536 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1537 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1586 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1587 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1588 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1589 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1594 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1597 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1598 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1599 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1600 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1601 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1603 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1607 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1608 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1609 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1610 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1624 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1626 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1627 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1628 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1629 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1630 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1636 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1637 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1639 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1640 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1641 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1642 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1644 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1665 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1666 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1667 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1668 for other scx200_* drivers.

1677 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1678 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1679 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1680 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1681 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1688 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1689 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1690 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1691 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
