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

263 This option is used for getting Linux to run on a (IBM/Sequent) NUMA
264 multiquad box. This changes the way that processors are bootstrapped,
265 and uses Clustered Logical APIC addressing mode instead of Flat Logical.

271 depends on X86_32 && SMP
273 This option is needed for IBM systems that use the Summit/EXA chipset.
274 In particular, it is needed for the x440.
276 If you don't have one of these computers, you should say N here.
277 If you want to build a NUMA kernel, you must select ACPI.

283 This option is needed for the systems that have more than 8 CPUs
284 and if the system is not of any sub-arch type above.
286 If you don't have such a system, you should say N here.
289 bool "SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation)"
292 The SGI Visual Workstation series is an IA32-based workstation
293 based on SGI systems chips with some legacy PC hardware attached.
295 Say Y here to create a kernel to run on the SGI 320 or 540.
297 A kernel compiled for the Visual Workstation will not run on PCs

335 Support for ScaleMP vSMP systems. Say 'Y' here if this kernel is
336 supposed to run on these EM64T-based machines. Only choose this option
337 if you have one of these machines.

343 prompt "Single-depth WCHAN output"
346 Calculate simpler /proc/<PID>/wchan values. If this option
347 is disabled then wchan values will recurse back to the
348 caller function. This provides more accurate wchan values,
349 at the expense of slightly more scheduling overhead.

354 bool "Paravirtualized guest support"
356 Say Y here to get to see options related to running Linux under

393 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run

395 over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
396 the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.
400 config MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
401 bool "Memtest boot parameter"
405 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
406 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
407 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
408 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
409 kernel image to be distributed with memtest built in, but not
412 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.

415 int "Memtest boot parameter default value (0-4)"
416 depends on MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
420 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
421 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
422 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
423 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is
424 set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
425 enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.

499 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
500 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
501 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
502 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
503 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
504 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
505 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
506 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
507 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
508 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
509 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

545 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 255 and the
546 minimum value which makes sense is 2.

614 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
615 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
616 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
617 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
618 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
619 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
620 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
621 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
622 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

831 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the

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

1005 config MATH_EMULATION
1007 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1009 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1010 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1011 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1012 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1013 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1014 coprocessor or this emulation.
1016 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1017 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1018 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1019 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1020 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1021 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1022 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1023 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1025 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1026 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1028 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1029 kernel, it won't hurt.
1032 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1034 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1035 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1036 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1037 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1038 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1039 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1040 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1041 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1042 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1044 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1045 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1048 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1049 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1050 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1051 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1052 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1053 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1054 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1056 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1057 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1058 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1060 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1061 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1063 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.
1067 prompt "x86 PAT support"
1070 Use PAT attributes to setup page level cache control.

1090 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1091 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the

1108 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1109 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1110 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1111 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1112 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1113 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1114 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1115 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1116 defined by each seccomp mode.
1118 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

1124 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1125 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1126 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1127 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1128 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1129 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1130 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1132 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1133 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1134 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1150 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1151 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1152 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1153 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1155 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1157 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1158 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1159 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1160 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1161 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1165 depends on EXPERIMENTAL

1168 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1169 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1170 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1171 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1172 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1173 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1174 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1175 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1181 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1184 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1186 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1187 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1188 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1189 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1192 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1193 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1194 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1195 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1196 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1197 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1198 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1199 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1201 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1202 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1203 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1204 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1205 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1206 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1207 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1208 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1209 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1211 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1212 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1213 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1214 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1215 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1216 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1222 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1223 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1225 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1226 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1227 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1228 but are discarded at runtime.
1230 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1231 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1234 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1235 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1236 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1243 range 0x2000 0x400000
1245 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1246 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1247 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1249 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1250 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1251 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1253 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1254 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1255 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1256 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1257 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1258 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1259 above alignment restrictions.

1316 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1317 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1318 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1319 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1320 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1321 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1323 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1324 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1326 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1327 machines with more than one CPU.
1329 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1330 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1331 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1332 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1334 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1335 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1336 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1338 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1339 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1340 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1341 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1343 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1344 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1345 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1383 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1384 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1385 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1386 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1387 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1388 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1389 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1390 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1391 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1392 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1393 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1400 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1401 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1402 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1403 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1404 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1414 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1415 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1416 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

1424 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1474 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1475 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1476 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1477 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1518 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address

1526 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1529 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1530 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1531 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1532 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1533 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1535 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1539 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1540 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1541 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1542 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1556 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1558 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1559 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1560 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1561 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1562 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1568 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1569 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1571 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1572 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1573 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1574 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1576 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1586 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1587 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1588 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1589 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1595 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1597 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1598 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1599 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1600 for other scx200_* drivers.

1609 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1610 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1611 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1612 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1613 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1620 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1621 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1622 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1623 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
