222 will run faster if you say N here.
224 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
225 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
226 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
227 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

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

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

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

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

553 Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
557 bool "AMD IOMMU support"
559 depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI
561 With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
562 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
563 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
564 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
565 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
567 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
568 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
571 # need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
575 Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
576 which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
577 of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
578 access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than
579 3 GB of memory. If unsure, say Y.

606 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
607 minimum value which makes sense is 2.

639 system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
640 enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't

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

1079 config MATH_EMULATION
1081 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1083 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1084 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1085 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1086 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1087 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1088 coprocessor or this emulation.
1090 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1091 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1092 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1093 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1094 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1095 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1096 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1097 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1099 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1100 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1102 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1103 kernel, it won't hurt.
1106 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1108 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1109 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1110 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1111 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1112 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1113 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1114 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1115 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1116 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1118 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1119 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1122 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1123 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1124 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1125 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1126 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1127 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1128 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1130 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1131 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1132 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1134 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1135 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1213 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1214 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1215 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1216 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1217 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1218 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1219 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1220 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1221 defined by each seccomp mode.

1226 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1227 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1229 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1230 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1231 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1232 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1233 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1234 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1235 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1237 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1238 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1239 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1252 bool "kexec system call"
1253 depends on X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1255 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1256 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1257 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1258 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1260 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1262 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1263 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1264 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1265 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1266 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1269 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1270 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1272 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1273 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1274 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1275 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1276 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1277 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1278 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1279 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1280 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1284 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1285 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1288 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1290 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1291 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1292 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1293 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1296 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1297 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1298 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1299 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1300 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1301 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1302 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1303 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1305 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1306 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1307 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1308 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1309 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1310 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1311 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1312 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1313 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1315 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1316 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1317 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1318 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1319 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1320 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1323 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1326 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1327 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1329 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1330 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1331 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1332 but are discarded at runtime.
1334 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1335 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1338 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1339 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1340 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1347 range 0x2000 0x400000
1349 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1350 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1351 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1353 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1354 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1355 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1357 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1358 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1359 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1360 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1361 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1362 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1363 above alignment restrictions.

1420 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1421 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1422 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1423 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1424 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1425 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1427 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1428 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1430 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1431 machines with more than one CPU.
1433 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1434 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1435 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1436 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1438 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1439 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1440 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1442 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1443 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1444 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1445 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1447 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1448 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1449 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1488 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically

1490 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1491 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1492 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1493 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1494 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1495 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1496 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1497 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1504 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1505 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1506 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1507 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1508 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1509 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1518 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1519 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1520 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1521 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1526 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1528 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1529 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1530 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1531 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1532 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1533 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1536 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1538 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1539 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1540 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1564 prompt "PCI access mode"
1565 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1568 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1569 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1570 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1571 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1572 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1574 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1575 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1576 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1577 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1578 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1579 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1580 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1631 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1632 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1637 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1640 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1641 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1642 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1643 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1644 to use physical addresses for DMA.

1650 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1651 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This

1669 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1670 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1671 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel

1673 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1679 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1680 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1682 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1683 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1684 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1685 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
