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"

430 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run

480 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
481 The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
482 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
483 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at
484 <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.
486 You can safely choose Y here. However, HPET will only be
487 activated if the platform and the BIOS support this feature.

512 depends on X86_64 && PCI
514 Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
515 on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
516 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
517 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
518 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
519 on Intel systems and as fallback.

527 depends on X86_64 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
529 Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
530 systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
531 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
532 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
533 isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
534 prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
535 destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
536 mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
537 properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
538 turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
539 Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.

554 bool "AMD IOMMU support"
556 depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI
558 With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
559 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
560 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
561 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
562 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
564 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
565 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
568 # need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
572 Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
573 which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
574 of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
575 access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than
576 3 GB of memory. If unsure, say Y.

603 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
604 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
606 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
607 approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.

635 integrated interrupt controller in the CPU. If you have a single-CPU
636 system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
637 enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't

671 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
672 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
673 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
674 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
675 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
676 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
677 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
678 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
679 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
680 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
681 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
682 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

1076 config MATH_EMULATION
1078 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1080 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1081 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1082 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1083 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1084 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1085 coprocessor or this emulation.
1087 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1088 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1089 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1090 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1091 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1092 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1093 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1094 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1096 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1097 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1099 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1100 kernel, it won't hurt.
1103 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1105 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1106 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1107 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1108 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1109 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1110 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1111 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1112 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1113 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1115 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1116 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1119 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1120 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1121 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1122 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1123 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1124 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1125 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1127 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1128 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1129 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1131 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1132 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1134 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1210 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1211 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1212 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1213 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1214 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1215 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1216 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1217 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1218 defined by each seccomp mode.

1224 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1226 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1227 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1228 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1229 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1230 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1231 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1232 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1234 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1235 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1236 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1249 bool "kexec system call"
1250 depends on X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1252 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1253 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1254 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1255 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1257 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1259 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1260 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1261 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1262 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1263 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1271 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1272 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1273 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1274 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1275 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1276 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1293 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1295 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1296 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1297 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1298 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1301 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1302 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1303 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1304 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1305 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1306 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1307 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1308 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1310 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1311 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1312 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1313 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1314 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1315 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1316 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1317 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1318 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1320 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1321 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1322 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1323 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1324 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1325 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1328 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1331 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1332 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1334 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1335 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1336 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1337 but are discarded at runtime.
1339 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1340 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1343 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1344 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1345 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1352 range 0x2000 0x400000
1354 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1355 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1356 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1358 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1359 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1360 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1362 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1363 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1364 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1365 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1366 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1367 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1368 above alignment restrictions.

1402 kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
1403 to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
1405 To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
1406 set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
1407 the boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.

1472 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1473 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide

1477 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1478 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1480 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1481 machines with more than one CPU.
1483 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1484 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1485 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1486 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1489 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1490 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1492 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1493 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1494 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver

1540 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1541 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1542 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1543 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1544 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1545 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1546 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1547 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1548 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1552 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1554 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1555 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1556 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1557 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1558 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1559 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1560 this option does nothing.)
1562 config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1563 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1565 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1566 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1567 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1568 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1569 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1570 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1571 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1572 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1573 especially if you are using gpm.
1575 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1576 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1578 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1579 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1580 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1581 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1582 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1583 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1585 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1586 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1588 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1589 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1590 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1614 prompt "PCI access mode"
1615 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1618 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1619 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1620 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1621 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1622 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1624 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1625 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1626 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1627 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1628 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1629 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1630 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1687 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1690 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1691 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1692 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1693 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1694 to use physical addresses for DMA.

1700 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1701 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This

1719 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1720 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1721 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel

1723 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1729 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1730 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1732 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1733 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1734 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1735 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
