208 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
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.
223 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
224 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
225 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

280 In particular, it is needed for the x440.
282 If you don't have one of these computers, you should say N here.
283 If you want to build a NUMA kernel, you must select ACPI.

440 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
441 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
442 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
443 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is
444 set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
445 enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.

528 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
529 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
530 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
531 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
532 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
533 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
534 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
535 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
536 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
537 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.

642 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
643 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
644 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
645 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
646 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
647 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
648 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
649 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

1033 config MATH_EMULATION
1035 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1037 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1038 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1039 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1040 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1041 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1042 coprocessor or this emulation.
1044 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1045 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1046 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1047 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1048 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1049 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1050 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1051 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1053 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1054 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1056 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1057 kernel, it won't hurt.
1060 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1062 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1063 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1064 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1065 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1066 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1067 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1068 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1069 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1070 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1072 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1073 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1076 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1077 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1078 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1079 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1080 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1081 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1082 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1084 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1085 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1086 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1088 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1089 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1091 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1118 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1119 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the

1136 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1137 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1138 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1139 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1140 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1141 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1142 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1143 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1144 defined by each seccomp mode.
1146 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

1153 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1154 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1155 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1156 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1157 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1158 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1160 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1161 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1162 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1178 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1179 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1180 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1181 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1183 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1185 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1186 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1187 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1188 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1189 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1196 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1197 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1198 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1199 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1200 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1201 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1202 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1203 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1208 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1209 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1212 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1214 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1215 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1216 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1217 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1220 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1221 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1222 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1223 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1224 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1225 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1226 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1227 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1229 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1230 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1231 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1232 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1233 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1234 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1235 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1236 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1237 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1239 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1240 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1241 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1242 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1243 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1244 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1247 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1250 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1251 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1253 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1254 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1255 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1256 but are discarded at runtime.
1258 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1259 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1262 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1263 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address

1271 range 0x2000 0x400000
1273 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1274 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1275 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1277 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1278 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1279 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1281 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1282 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1283 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1284 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1285 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1286 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1287 above alignment restrictions.

1344 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1345 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1346 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1347 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1348 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1349 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1351 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1352 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1354 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1355 machines with more than one CPU.
1357 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1358 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1359 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1360 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1362 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1363 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1364 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1366 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1367 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1368 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1369 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1371 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1372 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1373 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1412 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1413 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1414 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1415 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1416 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1417 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1418 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1419 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1420 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1421 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1422 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1428 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1429 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1430 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1431 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1432 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1442 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1443 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1444 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1445 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1452 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1485 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1486 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1489 prompt "PCI access mode"
1490 depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VISWS
1493 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1494 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1495 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1496 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1497 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1499 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1500 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1501 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1502 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1503 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1504 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1505 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1552 depends on X86_64 && PCI_MSI && ACPI && EXPERIMENTAL
1554 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1555 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1556 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1557 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1562 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1565 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1566 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1567 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1568 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1569 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1571 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1575 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1576 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1577 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1578 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1592 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1594 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1595 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1596 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1597 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1598 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1604 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1605 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1607 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1608 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1609 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1610 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1612 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1622 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1623 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1624 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1625 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1631 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1633 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1634 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1635 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1636 for other scx200_* drivers.
1638 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

1645 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1646 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1647 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1648 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1649 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1656 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1657 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1658 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1659 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
