583 and power. Drivers may query the availability of this device to
584 determine if they need the sideband in order to work on these
585 platforms. The sideband is available on the following SoC products.

599 different units on the SoC. This is most useful for obtaining device
600 state information for debug and analysis. As this is a general access

830 The GART supports full DMA access for devices with 32-bit access
831 limitations, on systems with more than 3 GB. This is usually needed
832 for USB, sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
834 Newer systems typically have a modern AMD IOMMU, supported via
835 the CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU=y config option.

851 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
852 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
853 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
854 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
855 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
856 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be

979 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
980 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
982 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
983 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
984 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
985 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
986 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
987 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
988 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
989 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
990 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
991 down (vital) interrupt lines.

1545 By default we reserve the first 64K of physical RAM, as a
1546 number of BIOSes are known to corrupt that memory range
1547 during events such as suspend/resume or monitor cable
1548 insertion, so it must not be used by the kernel.
1550 You can set this to 4 if you are absolutely sure that you
1551 trust the BIOS to get all its memory reservations and usages
1552 right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the
1553 default 64K area, you can set this to 640 to avoid using the
1554 entire low memory range.
1556 If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does
1557 not work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware
1558 hotplug events) then you might want to enable
1559 X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y to allow the kernel to check
1560 typical corruption patterns.
1562 Leave this to the default value of 64 if you are unsure.
1564 config MATH_EMULATION
1566 depends on MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL
1567 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1569 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1570 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1571 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1572 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1573 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1574 coprocessor or this emulation.
1576 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1577 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1578 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1579 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1580 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1581 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1582 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1583 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1585 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1586 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1588 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1589 kernel, it won't hurt.
1593 prompt "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" if EXPERT
1595 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1596 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1597 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1598 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1599 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1600 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1601 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1602 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1603 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1605 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1606 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1609 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1610 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1611 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1612 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1613 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1614 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1615 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1617 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1618 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1619 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1621 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1622 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1711 Enabling this option will make the kernel larger:
1712 ~8k of kernel text and 36 bytes of data on a 64-bit
1713 defconfig. It adds a long to the 'mm_struct' which
1714 will increase the kernel memory overhead of each

1766 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1767 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1768 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1769 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1770 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1771 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is

1834 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1835 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1836 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1837 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1838 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1839 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image

1858 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1859 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1862 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1863 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1864 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1865 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1866 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1867 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1868 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1869 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1871 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1872 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1873 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1874 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1875 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1876 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"

1878 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1879 for more details about crash dumps.
1881 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1882 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1883 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1884 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1885 is present because there are users out there who continue to use

1897 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1898 but are discarded at runtime.
1900 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1901 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1904 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1905 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address

1918 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
1919 supported. If RDTSC is supported, it is used as well. If

1921 read from the i8254 timer.
1923 The kernel will be offset by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET,
1924 and aligned according to PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Since the kernel is
1925 built using 2GiB addressing, and PHYSICAL_ALGIN must be at a
1926 minimum of 2MiB, only 10 bits of entropy is theoretically
1927 possible. At best, due to page table layouts, 64-bit can use

2079 This setting can be changed at boot time via the kernel command

2219 depends on X86_32 && PM_SLEEP
2221 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2222 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2223 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2224 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2225 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2226 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2228 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2229 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2231 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2232 machines with more than one CPU.
2234 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
2235 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
2236 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
2237 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2239 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
2240 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2241 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2243 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2244 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2245 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2246 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2248 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2249 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2250 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2251 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2254 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2257 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2259 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2260 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2261 the "no387" option to the kernel
2262 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2263 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2264 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2265 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2266 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2267 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2268 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2269 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2270 11) exchange RAM chips
2271 12) exchange the motherboard.
2273 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
2274 module will be called apm.
2278 config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND
2279 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
2281 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
2282 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
2283 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.
2285 config APM_DO_ENABLE
2286 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
2288 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
2289 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
2290 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
2291 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
2292 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2293 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2294 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2295 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2296 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2297 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2298 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
2299 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
2304 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
2306 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
2307 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
2308 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
2309 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
2310 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
2311 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
2312 this option does nothing.)
2314 config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
2315 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
2317 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
2318 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
2319 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
2320 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
2321 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
2322 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
2323 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
2324 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
2325 especially if you are using gpm.
2327 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
2328 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
2330 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
2331 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
2332 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
2333 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
2334 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
2335 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

2360 prompt "PCI access mode"
2361 depends on X86_32 && PCI
2364 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
2365 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
2366 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
2367 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
2368 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
2370 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
2371 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
2372 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
2373 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
2374 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
2375 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
2376 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

2458 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
2464 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
2465 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
2467 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
2468 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
2469 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
2470 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
2472 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

2607 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2608 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2609 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2610 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2612 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2613 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2614 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2615 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2616 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2617 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2618 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2620 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2621 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2622 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2623 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2624 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
