269 Some PowerPC chips designed for embedded applications do not have
270 a floating-point unit and therefore do not implement the
271 floating-point instructions in the PowerPC instruction set. If you
272 say Y here, the kernel will include code to emulate a floating-point
273 unit, which will allow programs that use floating-point
276 config 8XX_MINIMAL_FPEMU
277 bool "Minimal math emulation for 8xx"
278 depends on 8xx && !MATH_EMULATION
280 Older arch/ppc kernels still emulated a few floating point
281 instructions such as load and store, even when full math
282 emulation is disabled. Say "Y" here if you want to preserve
285 It is recommended that you build a soft-float userspace instead.
288 bool "Enable IOMMU virtual merging"
292 Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
293 by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
294 This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
295 drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
298 Most drivers don't have this problem; it is safe to say Y here.
304 bool "SWIOTLB support"
308 Support for IO bounce buffering for systems without an IOMMU.
309 This allows us to DMA to the full physical address space on
310 platforms where the size of a physical address is larger
311 than the bus address. Not all platforms support this.

315 depends on SMP && HOTPLUG && EXPERIMENTAL && (PPC_PSERIES || PPC_PMAC)

332 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
333 depends on PPC_BOOK3S && EXPERIMENTAL
335 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
336 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
337 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
338 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
340 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
342 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
343 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
344 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
345 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
346 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
349 bool "Build a kdump crash kernel"
350 depends on PPC64 || 6xx
351 select RELOCATABLE if PPC64
353 Build a kernel suitable for use as a kdump capture kernel.
354 The same kernel binary can be used as production kernel and dump
358 bool "Hypervisor-assisted dump (EXPERIMENTAL)"
359 depends on PPC_PSERIES && EXPERIMENTAL
361 Hypervisor-assisted dump is meant to be a kdump replacement
362 offering robustness and speed not possible without system

372 bool "Distribute interrupts on all CPUs by default"
373 depends on SMP && !MV64360
375 This option gives the kernel permission to distribute IRQs across
376 multiple CPUs. Saying N here will route all IRQs to the first
377 CPU. Generally saying Y is safe, although some problems have been
378 reported with SMP Power Macintoshes with this option enabled.

435 config PPC_HAS_HASH_64K
441 bool "Using standard binutils settings"
445 Turning this option off allows you to select 256KB PAGE_SIZE on 44x.
446 Note, that kernel will be able to run only those applications,
447 which had been compiled using binutils later than 2.17.50.0.3 with
448 '-zmax-page-size' set to 256K (the default is 64K). Or, if using
449 the older binutils, you can patch them with a trivial patch, which
450 changes the ELF_MAXPAGESIZE definition from 0x10000 to 0x40000.
456 Select the kernel logical page size. Increasing the page size
457 will reduce software overhead at each page boundary, allow
458 hardware prefetch mechanisms to be more effective, and allow
459 larger dma transfers increasing IO efficiency and reducing
460 overhead. However the utilization of memory will increase.
461 For example, each cached file will using a multiple of the
462 page size to hold its contents and the difference between the
463 end of file and the end of page is wasted.
465 Some dedicated systems, such as software raid serving with
466 accelerated calculations, have shown significant increases.
468 If you configure a 64 bit kernel for 64k pages but the
469 processor does not support them, then the kernel will simulate
470 them with 4k pages, loading them on demand, but with the
471 reduced software overhead and larger internal fragmentation.
472 For the 32 bit kernel, a large page option will not be offered
473 unless it is supported by the configured processor.
475 If unsure, choose 4K_PAGES.

488 bool "256k page size" if 44x
489 depends on !STDBINUTILS
491 Make the page size 256k.
493 As the ELF standard only requires alignment to support page
494 sizes up to 64k, you will need to compile all of your user
495 space applications with a non-standard binutils settings
496 (see the STDBINUTILS description for details).
498 Say N unless you know what you are doing.
502 config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
503 int "Maximum zone order"

512 range 5 64 if PPC32 && PPC_256K_PAGES
513 default "5" if PPC32 && PPC_256K_PAGES
517 The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
518 blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
519 pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
520 keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
521 blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
524 This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example,
525 a value of 11 means that the largest free memory block is 2^10 pages.
527 The page size is not necessarily 4KB. For example, on 64-bit
528 systems, 64KB pages can be enabled via CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES. Keep
529 this in mind when choosing a value for this option.
531 config PPC_SUBPAGE_PROT
532 bool "Support setting protections for 4k subpages"
533 depends on PPC_STD_MMU_64 && PPC_64K_PAGES
535 This option adds support for a system call to allow user programs
536 to set access permissions (read/write, readonly, or no access)
537 on the 4k subpages of each 64k page.
540 bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"
541 depends on PPC64 && SMP
543 SMT scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making
544 when dealing with POWER5 cpus at a cost of slightly increased
545 overhead in some places. If unsure say N here.
547 config PROC_DEVICETREE
548 bool "Support for device tree in /proc"
551 This option adds a device-tree directory under /proc which contains
552 an image of the device tree that the kernel copies from Open
553 Firmware or other boot firmware. If unsure, say Y here.
556 bool "Default bootloader kernel arguments"
559 string "Initial kernel command string"
560 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
561 default "console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0 root=/dev/sda2"
563 On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
564 pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, you can supply
565 some command-line options at build time by entering them here. In
566 most cases you will need to specify the root device here.
569 string "Additional default image types"
571 List additional targets to be built by the bootwrapper here (separated
572 by spaces). This is useful for targets that depend of device tree
573 files in the .dts directory.
575 Targets in this list will be build as part of the default build
576 target, or when the user does a 'make zImage' or a
577 'make zImage.initrd'.
579 If unsure, leave blank
582 config ARCH_WANTS_FREEZER_CONTROL
586 source kernel/power/Kconfig
590 bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
594 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
595 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
596 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
597 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
598 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
599 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
600 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
601 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
602 defined by each seccomp mode.
604 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

620 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
621 inside your box. If you have an Apple machine, say N here; if you
622 have an IBM RS/6000 or pSeries machine or a PReP machine, say Y. If

689 infrastructure code to support PCI bus devices.

794 will be used to map low memory. There are a limited number of slots
795 available and even more limited number that will fit in the L1 MMU.
