Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme
need or coordination with <Documentation/i386/boot.txt>.
+There are also arch-specific kernel-parameters not documented here.
+See for example <Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt>.

Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that
a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
clocksource is not available, it defaults to PIT.
Format: { pit | tsc | cyclone | pmtmr }
+ code_bytes [IA32] How many bytes of object code to print in an

+ Range: 0 - 8192
+ Default: 64

disable_8254_timer
enable_8254_timer
[IA32/X86_64] Disable/Enable interrupt 0 timer routing
highmem otherwise. This also works to reduce highmem
size on bigger boxes.
+ highres= [KNL] Enable/disable high resolution timer mode.
+ Valid parameters: "on", "off"
+ Default: "on"

+ Using "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0" will disable SMP
+ entirely (the MPS table probe still happens, though).
+ A command-line option of "maxcpus=<NUM>", where <NUM>
+ is an integer greater than 0, limits the maximum number
+ of CPUs activated in SMP mode to <NUM>.
+ Using "maxcpus=1" on an SMP kernel is the trivial
+ case of an SMP kernel with only one CPU.
max_addr=[KMG] [KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory greater than or
equal to this physical address is ignored.

is present.
+ noacpi [LIBATA] Disables use of ACPI in libata suspend/resume
+ when set.
+ Format: <int>
+
noaliencache [MM, NUMA] Disables the allcoation of alien caches in
the slab allocator. Saves per-node memory, but will
impact performance on real NUMA hardware.

real-time systems.
+ nohz= [KNL] Boottime enable/disable dynamic ticks
+ Valid arguments: on, off
+ Default: on

noirqbalance [IA-32,SMP,KNL] Disable kernel irq balancing
noirqdebug [IA-32] Disables the code which attempts to detect and
This sorting is done to get a device
order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
nobfsort Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
+ cbiosize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is
+ reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.
+ The default value is 256 bytes.
+ cbmemsize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is

pcmv= [HW,PCMCIA] BadgePAD 4
Note that genuine overcurrent events won't be
reported either.
+ usbcore.autosuspend=
+ [USB] The autosuspend time delay (in seconds) used
+ for newly-detected USB devices (default 2). This
+ is the time required before an idle device will be
+ autosuspended. Devices for which the delay is set
+ to 0 won't be autosuspended at all.
+
usbhid.mousepoll=
[USBHID] The interval which mice are to be polled at.
