215 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
216 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
217 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
219 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
220 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
221 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
222 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
223 will run faster if you say N here.
225 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
226 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
227 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
228 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
230 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
231 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power

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

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

305 The SGI Visual Workstation series is an IA32-based workstation
306 based on SGI systems chips with some legacy PC hardware attached.
308 Say Y here to create a kernel to run on the SGI 320 or 540.

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

357 prompt "Single-depth WCHAN output"
360 Calculate simpler /proc/<PID>/wchan values. If this option
361 is disabled then wchan values will recurse back to the

397 (or probably other) emulation by the underlying device model, the host
398 provides the guest with timing infrastructure such as time of day, and

415 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
416 under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
417 over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
418 the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

423 bool "Memtest boot parameter"
427 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
428 to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, memtest
429 functionality can be disabled with memtest=0 on the kernel
430 command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
431 kernel image to be distributed with memtest built in, but not

437 int "Memtest boot parameter default value (0-4)"
438 depends on MEMTEST_BOOTPARAM
442 This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter
443 'memtest', which allows memtest to be disabled at boot. If this
444 option is set to 0 (zero), the memtest kernel parameter will
445 default to 0, disabling memtest at bootup. If this option is
446 set to 4, the memtest kernel parameter will default to 4,
447 enabling memtest at bootup, and use that as pattern number.

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.

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

1035 config MATH_EMULATION
1037 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1039 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1040 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1041 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1042 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1043 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1044 coprocessor or this emulation.
1046 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1047 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1048 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1049 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1050 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1051 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1052 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1053 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1055 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1056 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1058 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1059 kernel, it won't hurt.
1062 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1064 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1065 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1066 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1067 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1068 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1069 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1070 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1071 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1072 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1074 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1075 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1078 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1079 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1080 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1081 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1082 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1083 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1084 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1086 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1087 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1088 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1090 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1091 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1164 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1165 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

1167 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1168 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1169 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1170 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1171 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1172 defined by each seccomp mode.

1181 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1182 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1183 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1184 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1185 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1186 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1188 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1189 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1190 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1203 bool "kexec system call"

1206 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1207 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1208 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1209 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1211 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1213 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1214 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1215 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1216 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1217 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1220 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1221 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1222 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1224 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1225 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1226 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1227 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1228 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1229 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1230 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1231 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1232 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1236 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1237 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1240 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1242 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1243 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1244 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1245 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1248 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1249 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1250 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1251 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1252 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1253 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1254 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1255 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1257 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1258 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1259 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1260 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1261 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1262 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1263 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1264 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1265 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1267 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1268 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1269 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1270 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1271 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1272 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1275 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1278 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1279 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1281 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1282 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1283 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1284 but are discarded at runtime.
1286 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1287 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1290 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1291 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1292 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1299 range 0x2000 0x400000
1301 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1302 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1303 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1305 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1306 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1307 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1309 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1310 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1311 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1312 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1313 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1314 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1315 above alignment restrictions.

1372 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1373 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1374 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1375 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1376 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1377 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1379 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1380 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1382 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1383 machines with more than one CPU.
1385 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1386 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1387 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1388 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1390 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1391 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1392 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1394 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1395 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1396 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1397 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1399 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1400 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get

1437 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1439 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1440 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1441 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1442 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1443 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1444 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1445 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1446 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1447 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1448 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1449 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1450 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1456 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1457 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1458 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1459 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1460 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1461 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1469 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1470 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1471 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1472 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1473 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1480 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

1511 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
1512 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside

1521 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1522 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1523 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1524 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1525 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1527 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1528 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1529 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1530 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1531 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1532 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1533 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1585 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1586 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1591 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1594 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1595 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1596 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1597 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1598 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1600 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1604 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1605 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1606 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1621 depends on !(X86_VOYAGER || X86_VISWS)
1623 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1624 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1625 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1626 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1627 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1633 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1634 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1636 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1637 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1638 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1639 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1662 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1663 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1664 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1665 for other scx200_* drivers.

1674 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1675 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1676 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1677 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1678 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1686 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1687 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1688 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
