198 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
199 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
200 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
202 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
203 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
204 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
205 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
206 will run faster if you say N here.
208 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
209 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
210 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
211 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

390 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
391 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
392 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
393 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single

401 depends on MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
405 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
406 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
407 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
408 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is
409 set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
410 enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.

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

599 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
600 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
601 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
602 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
603 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
604 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
605 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
606 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
607 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
608 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

981 config MATH_EMULATION
983 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
985 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
986 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
987 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
988 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
989 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
990 coprocessor or this emulation.
992 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
993 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
994 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
995 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
996 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
997 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
998 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
999 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1001 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1002 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1004 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1005 kernel, it won't hurt.
1008 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1010 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1011 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1012 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1013 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1014 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1015 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1016 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1017 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1018 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1020 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1021 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1024 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1025 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1026 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1027 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1028 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1029 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1030 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1032 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1033 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1034 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1036 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1037 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1039 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1058 prompt "EFI runtime service support"
1061 This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are
1062 available (such as the EFI variable services).
1064 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware.
1065 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
1066 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1067 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the
1068 resultant kernel should continue to boot on existing non-EFI
1073 prompt "Enable kernel irq balancing"

1077 Saying no will keep the kernel from doing irq load balancing.
1081 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1084 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1085 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1086 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1087 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1088 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1089 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1090 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1091 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1092 defined by each seccomp mode.
1094 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.
1096 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1097 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1098 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1100 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1101 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1102 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1103 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1104 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1105 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1106 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1108 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1109 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1110 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
1112 config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL
1113 bool "Use stack-protector for all functions"
1114 depends on CC_STACKPROTECTOR
1116 Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for
1117 functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling
1118 this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.
1120 source kernel/Kconfig.hz
1123 bool "kexec system call"
1125 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1126 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1127 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1128 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1130 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1132 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1133 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1134 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1135 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1136 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1139 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1140 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1141 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1143 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1144 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1145 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1146 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1147 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1148 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1149 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1150 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1151 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1153 config PHYSICAL_START
1154 hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EMBEDDED || CRASH_DUMP)
1155 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1156 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1159 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1161 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1162 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1163 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1164 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1167 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1168 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1169 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1170 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1171 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1172 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1173 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1174 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1176 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1177 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1178 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1179 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1180 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1181 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1182 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1183 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1184 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1186 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1187 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1188 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1189 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1190 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1191 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1194 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1197 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1198 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1200 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1201 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1202 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1203 but are discarded at runtime.
1205 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1206 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1209 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1210 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1211 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1218 range 0x2000 0x400000
1220 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1221 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1222 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1224 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1225 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1226 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1228 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1229 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1230 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1231 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1232 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1233 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1234 above alignment restrictions.

1291 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1292 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1293 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1294 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1295 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1296 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1298 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1299 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1301 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1302 machines with more than one CPU.
1304 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1305 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1306 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1307 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1309 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1310 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1311 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1313 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1314 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1315 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1316 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1318 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1319 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1320 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1321 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling

1351 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1353 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.

1356 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1358 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1359 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1360 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1361 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1362 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1363 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1364 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1365 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1366 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1367 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1368 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1369 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1373 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1375 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1376 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1377 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1378 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1379 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1380 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1381 this option does nothing.)

1387 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1388 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1389 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1390 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1391 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1392 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1393 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1394 especially if you are using gpm.

1397 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1399 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1400 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1401 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1402 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1403 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you

1493 DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address
1494 translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices.
1495 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1496 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1501 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1504 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1505 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1506 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1507 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1508 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1510 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1514 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1515 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1516 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first
1517 16M to make floppy (an ISA device) work.

1531 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1533 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1534 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1535 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1536 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1537 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1543 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1544 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1546 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1547 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1548 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1549 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1551 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1561 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1562 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1563 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1564 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1570 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
1572 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1573 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1574 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1575 for other scx200_* drivers.
1577 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

1581 depends on SCx200 && GENERIC_TIME
1584 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1585 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1586 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1587 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1588 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1592 prompt "Geode Multi-Function General Purpose Timer (MFGPT) events"
1593 depends on MGEODE_LX && GENERIC_TIME && GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
1595 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1596 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1597 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1598 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
