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.

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

512 depends on X86_64 && PCI
514 Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
515 on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
516 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
517 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
518 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
519 on Intel systems and as fallback.
520 The code is only active when needed (enough memory and limited
521 device) unless CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG or iommu=force is specified
525 bool "IBM Calgary IOMMU support"
527 depends on X86_64 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
529 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
530 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
531 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
532 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
533 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
534 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
535 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
536 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
537 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
538 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
539 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

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

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

599 default "32" if X86_NUMAQ || X86_SUMMIT || X86_BIGSMP || X86_ES7000
602 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
603 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
604 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
606 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
607 approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.
611 bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"

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

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

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

1076 config MATH_EMULATION
1078 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1080 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1081 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1082 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1083 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1084 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1085 coprocessor or this emulation.
1087 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1088 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1089 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1090 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1091 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1092 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1093 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1094 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1096 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1097 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1099 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1100 kernel, it won't hurt.
1103 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1105 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1106 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1107 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1108 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1109 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1110 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1111 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1112 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1113 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1115 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1116 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1119 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1120 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1121 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1122 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1123 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1124 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1125 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1127 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1128 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1129 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1131 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1132 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1207 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1210 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1211 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1212 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1213 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1214 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1215 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1216 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1217 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1218 defined by each seccomp mode.

1222 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1223 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1224 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1226 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1227 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1228 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1229 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1230 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1231 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1232 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1234 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1235 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1236 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1238 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL

1249 bool "kexec system call"
1250 depends on X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1252 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1253 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1254 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1255 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1257 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1259 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1260 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1261 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1262 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1263 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1266 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1267 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1269 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1270 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1271 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1272 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1273 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1274 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1275 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1276 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1277 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1281 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1282 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1285 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1287 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1288 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1289 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1290 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1293 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1294 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1295 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1296 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1297 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1298 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1299 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1300 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1302 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1303 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1304 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1305 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1306 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1307 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1308 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1309 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1310 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1312 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1313 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1314 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1315 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1316 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1317 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1320 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1323 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1324 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1326 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1327 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1328 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1329 but are discarded at runtime.
1331 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1332 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1335 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1336 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1337 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1344 range 0x2000 0x400000
1346 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1347 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1348 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1350 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1351 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1352 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1354 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1355 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1356 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1357 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1358 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1359 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1360 above alignment restrictions.

1417 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1418 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1419 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1420 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1421 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1422 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1424 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1425 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1427 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1428 machines with more than one CPU.
1430 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1431 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1432 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1433 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1435 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1436 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1437 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1439 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1440 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1441 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1442 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1444 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1445 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1446 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1459 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling

1477 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1479 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.
1481 config APM_DO_ENABLE
1482 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1484 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1485 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1486 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1487 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1488 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1489 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1490 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1491 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1492 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1493 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1494 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1495 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1499 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1501 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1502 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1503 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1504 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1505 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1506 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1515 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1516 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1517 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1518 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1525 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1527 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1528 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1530 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1561 prompt "PCI access mode"
1562 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1565 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1566 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1567 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1568 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1569 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1571 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1572 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1573 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1574 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1575 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1576 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1577 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1628 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1629 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1634 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1637 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1638 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1639 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1640 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1641 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1643 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1647 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1648 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This

1666 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1667 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1668 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel

1670 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1676 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1677 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1679 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1680 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1681 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1682 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1705 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1707 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1708 for other scx200_* drivers.

1718 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1719 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
