11 default y if (IA64 || X86)
13 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
14 Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
15 and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
16 management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
19 Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
20 legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
21 the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
22 MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
23 Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
24 are configured, ACPI is used.
26 The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
27 <https://01.org/linux-acpi>
29 Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
30 Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
34 ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by
35 Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently,
36 it is developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under
37 the UEFI Forum and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute
38 to the ACPI specification.
39 The specification is available at:

88 depends on X86 && PROC_FS
90 For backwards compatibility, this option allows
91 deprecated power /proc/acpi/ directories to exist, even when
92 they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
93 The deprecated directories (and their replacements) include:
94 /proc/acpi/battery/* (/sys/class/power_supply/*)
95 /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/* (sys/class/power_supply/*)
96 This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ directories
97 and functions, which do not yet exist in /sys

99 deleted in the future.
101 Say N to delete power /proc/acpi/ directories that have moved to /sys/
103 config ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE
104 bool "Allow supported ACPI revision to be overriden"
108 The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as
109 the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration
110 information in a special way.
112 For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision,
113 Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA
114 mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux
115 until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user
118 This option enables a DMI-based quirk for the above Dell machine (so
119 that HDA audio is exposed by the platform firmware to the kernel) and
120 makes it possible to force the kernel to return "5" as the supported
121 ACPI revision via the "acpi_rev_override" command line switch.
123 config ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS
124 tristate "EC read/write access through /sys/kernel/debug/ec"
127 Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface
129 Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded
130 Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then
131 have to power off your system, and remove the laptop battery for
133 An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
134 sensor values like battery state and temperature.
135 The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
136 tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
138 Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
139 and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
142 tristate "AC Adapter"
147 This driver supports the AC Adapter object, which indicates
148 whether a system is on AC or not. If you have a system that can
149 switch between A/C and battery, say Y.
151 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
152 the module will be called ac.
160 This driver adds support for battery information through
161 /proc/acpi/battery. If you have a mobile system with a battery,
164 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
165 the module will be called battery.
172 This driver handles events on the power, sleep, and lid buttons.
173 A daemon reads events from input devices or via netlink and
174 performs user-defined actions such as shutting down the system.
175 This is necessary for software-controlled poweroff.
177 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
178 the module will be called button.
182 depends on X86 && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
186 This driver implements the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters
187 for integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in
188 ACPI 2.0 Specification, Appendix B. This supports basic operations
189 such as defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information,
190 and setting up a video output.
192 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
193 the module will be called video.
200 This driver supports ACPI fan devices, allowing user-mode
201 applications to perform basic fan control (on, off, status).
203 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
204 the module will be called fan.
209 This driver supports ACPI-controlled docking stations and removable
210 drive bays such as the IBM Ultrabay and the Dell Module Bay.

223 depends on !ACPI_CPU_FREQ_PSS
227 If this option is enabled, this file implements common functionality
228 to parse CPPC tables as described in the ACPI 5.1+ spec. The
229 routines implemented are meant to be used by other
230 drivers to control CPU performance using CPPC semantics.
231 If your platform does not support CPPC in firmware,
232 leave this option disabled.

241 This driver adds support for the ACPI Processor package. It is required
242 by several flavors of cpufreq performance-state, thermal, throttling and
245 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
246 the module will be called processor.
253 This driver enables the ACPI to access the BMC controller. And it
254 uses the IPMI request/response message to communicate with BMC
255 controller, which can be found on on the server.
257 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
258 the module will be called as acpi_ipmi.

267 tristate "Processor Aggregator"
268 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
271 ACPI 4.0 defines processor Aggregator, which enables OS to perform
272 specific processor configuration and control that applies to all
273 processors in the platform. Currently only logical processor idling
274 is defined, which is to reduce power consumption. This driver
275 supports the new device.
278 tristate "Thermal Zone"
279 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
283 This driver supports ACPI thermal zones. Most mobile and
284 some desktop systems support ACPI thermal zones. It is HIGHLY
285 recommended that this option be enabled, as your processor(s)
286 may be damaged without it.

322 This option provides functionality to upgrade arbitrary ACPI tables
323 via initrd. No functional change if no ACPI tables are passed via
324 initrd, therefore it's safe to say Y.
325 See Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt for details
328 bool "Debug Statements"
331 The ACPI subsystem can produce debug output. Saying Y enables this
332 output and increases the kernel size by around 50K.
334 Use the acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level kernel command-line
335 parameters documented in Documentation/acpi/debug.txt and
336 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to control the type and
337 amount of debug output.
340 bool "PCI slot detection driver"
344 This driver creates entries in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ for all PCI
345 slots in the system. This can help correlate PCI bus addresses,
346 i.e., segment/bus/device/function tuples, with physical slots in
347 the system. If you are unsure, say N.
350 bool "Power Management Timer Support" if EXPERT
354 The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
355 in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
357 This timing source is not affected by power management features
358 like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
359 voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
362 You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
363 systems require this timer.
365 config ACPI_CONTAINER
366 bool "Container and Module Devices"
367 default (ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY || ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU)
369 This driver supports ACPI Container and Module devices (IDs
370 ACPI0004, PNP0A05, and PNP0A06).
372 This helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory.
374 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
375 the module will be called container.

378 bool "Memory Hotplug"
379 depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG
381 This driver supports ACPI memory hotplug. The driver
382 fields notifications on ACPI memory devices (PNP0C80),
383 which represent memory ranges that may be onlined or
384 offlined during runtime.
386 If your hardware and firmware do not support adding or
387 removing memory devices at runtime, you need not enable
390 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:

400 tristate "Smart Battery System"
404 This driver supports the Smart Battery System, another
405 type of access to battery information, found on some laptops.
407 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
408 the modules will be called sbs and sbshc.
411 tristate "Hardware Error Device"
413 This driver supports the Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33),
414 which is used to report some hardware errors notified via
415 SCI, mainly the corrected errors.
417 config ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD
418 tristate "Allow ACPI methods to be inserted/replaced at run time"
422 This debug facility allows ACPI AML methods to be inserted and/or
423 replaced without rebooting the system. For details refer to:
424 Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt.
426 NOTE: This option is security sensitive, because it allows arbitrary
427 kernel memory to be written to by root (uid=0) users, allowing them
428 to bypass certain security measures (e.g. if root is not allowed to
429 load additional kernel modules after boot, this feature may be used
430 to override that restriction).
433 bool "Boottime Graphics Resource Table support"
434 depends on EFI && X86
436 This driver adds support for exposing the ACPI Boottime Graphics
437 Resource Table, which allows the operating system to obtain
438 data from the firmware boot splash. It will appear under
439 /sys/firmware/acpi/bgrt/ .
441 config ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE_ONLY
442 bool "Hardware-reduced ACPI support only" if EXPERT
445 This config item changes the way the ACPI code is built. When this
446 option is selected, the kernel will use a specialized version of
447 ACPICA that ONLY supports the ACPI "reduced hardware" mode. The
448 resulting kernel will be smaller but it will also be restricted to
449 running in ACPI reduced hardware mode ONLY.
451 If you are unsure what to do, do not enable this option.

457 depends on ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH
460 Infrastructure to probe ACPI 6 compliant platforms for
461 NVDIMMs (NFIT) and register a libnvdimm device tree. In
462 addition to storage devices this also enables libnvdimm to pass
463 ACPI._DSM messages for platform/dimm configuration.
465 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
466 the module will be called nfit.
468 config ACPI_NFIT_DEBUG
469 bool "NFIT DSM debug"
471 depends on DYNAMIC_DEBUG
474 Enabling this option causes the nfit driver to dump the
475 input and output buffers of _DSM operations on the ACPI0012
476 device and its children. This can be very verbose, so leave
477 it disabled unless you are debugging a hardware / firmware
480 source "drivers/acpi/apei/Kconfig"
483 tristate "Extended Error Log support"
484 depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
489 Certain usages such as Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) require
490 more information about the error than what can be described in
491 processor machine check banks. Most server processors log
492 additional information about the error in processor uncore
493 registers. Since the addresses and layout of these registers vary
494 widely from one processor to another, system software cannot
495 readily make use of them. To complicate matters further, some of
496 the additional error information cannot be constructed without
497 detailed knowledge about platform topology.
499 Enhanced MCA Logging allows firmware to provide additional error
500 information to system software, synchronous with MCE or CMCI. This
501 driver adds support for that functionality with corresponding
502 tracepoint which carries that information to userspace.
