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,

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.

429 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
430 under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
431 over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
432 the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

481 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
482 The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
483 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
484 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at
485 <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.
487 You can safely choose Y here. However, HPET will only be
488 activated if the platform and the BIOS support this feature.

513 depends on X86_64 && PCI
515 Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
516 on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
517 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
518 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
519 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
520 on Intel systems and as fallback.
521 The code is only active when needed (enough memory and limited
522 device) unless CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG or iommu=force is specified
526 bool "IBM Calgary IOMMU support"
528 depends on X86_64 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
530 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
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
539 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
540 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

548 Should Calgary be enabled by default? if you choose 'y', Calgary
549 will be used (if it exists). If you choose 'n', Calgary will not be

551 Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
555 bool "AMD IOMMU support"
557 depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI
559 With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
560 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
561 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
562 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
563 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
565 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
566 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
569 # need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
573 Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
574 which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
575 of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
576 access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than
577 3 GB of memory. If unsure, say Y.

604 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
605 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
607 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
608 approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.

636 integrated interrupt controller in the CPU. If you have a single-CPU
637 system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
638 enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't

650 SMP systems and many recent uniprocessor systems have one.
652 If you have a single-CPU system with an IO-APIC, you can say Y here

672 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
673 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
674 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
675 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
676 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
677 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
678 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
679 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
680 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
681 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
682 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
683 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

1077 config MATH_EMULATION
1079 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1081 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1082 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1083 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1084 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1085 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1086 coprocessor or this emulation.
1088 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1089 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1090 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1091 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1092 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1093 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1094 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1095 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1097 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1098 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1100 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1101 kernel, it won't hurt.
1104 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1106 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1107 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1108 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1109 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1110 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1111 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1112 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1113 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1114 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1116 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1117 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1120 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1121 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1122 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1123 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1124 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1125 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1126 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1128 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1129 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1130 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1132 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1133 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1135 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1214 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1215 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1216 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1217 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1218 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1219 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1220 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1221 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1222 defined by each seccomp mode.

1228 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1230 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1231 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1232 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1233 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1234 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1235 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1236 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1238 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1239 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1240 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1242 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL

1253 bool "kexec system call"
1254 depends on X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1256 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1257 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1258 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1259 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1261 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1263 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1264 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1265 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1266 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1267 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1270 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1271 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1273 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1274 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1275 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1276 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1277 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1278 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1279 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1280 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1281 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1285 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1286 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1289 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1291 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1292 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1293 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1294 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1297 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1298 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1299 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1300 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1301 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1302 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1303 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1304 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1306 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1307 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1308 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1309 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1310 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1311 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1312 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1313 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1314 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1316 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1317 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1318 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1319 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1320 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1321 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1324 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1327 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1328 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1330 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1331 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1332 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1333 but are discarded at runtime.
1335 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1336 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1339 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1340 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1341 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1348 range 0x2000 0x400000
1350 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1351 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1352 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1354 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1355 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1356 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1358 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1359 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1360 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1361 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1362 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1363 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1364 above alignment restrictions.

1421 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1422 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1423 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1424 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1425 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1426 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1428 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1429 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1431 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1432 machines with more than one CPU.
1434 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1435 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1436 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1437 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1439 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1440 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1441 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1443 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1444 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1445 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1446 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1448 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1449 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1450 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1481 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1483 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.

1486 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1488 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1489 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1490 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1491 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1492 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1493 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1494 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1495 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1496 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1497 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1498 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1499 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1503 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1505 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1506 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1507 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1508 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1509 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1510 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1519 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1520 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1521 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1522 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1530 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1531 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1532 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1533 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1534 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1536 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1537 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1539 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1540 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1541 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1559 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
1560 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1561 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1562 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1565 prompt "PCI access mode"
1566 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1569 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1570 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1571 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1572 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1573 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1575 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1576 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1577 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1578 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1579 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1580 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1581 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1630 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1631 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1632 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1633 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1638 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1641 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1642 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1643 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1644 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1645 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1647 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1651 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1652 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1653 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1670 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1671 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1672 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1673 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1674 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1680 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1681 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1683 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1684 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1685 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1686 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1709 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1711 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1712 for other scx200_* drivers.

1721 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1722 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1723 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1724 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1725 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1733 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1734 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
