210 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
212 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor

216 will run faster if you say N here.
218 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
219 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
220 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
221 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

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

524 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
525 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
526 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
527 on Intel systems and as fallback.

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

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

610 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
611 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 4096 and the
612 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
614 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds

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

679 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

681 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
682 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
683 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
684 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
685 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
686 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
687 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
688 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
689 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
690 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

1084 config MATH_EMULATION
1086 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1088 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1089 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1090 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1091 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1092 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1093 coprocessor or this emulation.
1095 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1096 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1097 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1098 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1099 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1100 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1101 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1102 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1104 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1105 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1107 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1108 kernel, it won't hurt.
1111 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1113 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1114 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1115 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1116 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1117 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1118 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1119 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1120 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1121 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1123 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1124 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1127 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1128 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1129 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1130 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1131 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1132 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1133 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1135 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1136 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1137 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1139 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1140 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1221 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1222 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1223 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1224 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1225 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1226 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1227 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
1228 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1229 defined by each seccomp mode.

1234 bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1235 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1237 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1238 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1239 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1240 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1241 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1242 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1243 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1245 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1246 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1247 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1260 bool "kexec system call"
1261 depends on X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1263 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1264 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1265 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1266 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1268 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1270 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1271 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1272 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1273 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1274 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
1277 bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1278 depends on X86_64 || (X86_32 && HIGHMEM)
1280 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1281 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1282 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1283 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1284 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1285 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1286 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1287 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1288 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1290 config PHYSICAL_START
1291 hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EMBEDDED || CRASH_DUMP)
1292 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ
1293 default "0x200000" if X86_64
1296 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1298 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1299 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1300 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1301 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1304 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1305 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1306 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1307 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1308 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1309 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1310 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1311 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1313 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1314 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1315 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1316 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1317 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1318 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1319 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1320 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1321 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1323 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1324 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1325 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1326 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1327 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1328 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1331 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1334 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1335 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1337 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1338 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1339 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1340 but are discarded at runtime.
1342 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1343 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1346 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1347 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1348 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1355 range 0x2000 0x400000
1357 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1358 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1359 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1361 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1362 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1363 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1365 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1366 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1367 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1368 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1369 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1370 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1371 above alignment restrictions.

1428 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1429 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1430 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1431 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1432 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1433 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1435 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1436 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1438 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1439 machines with more than one CPU.
1441 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1442 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1443 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1444 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1446 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1447 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1448 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1450 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1451 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1452 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1453 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1455 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1456 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1457 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1496 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1497 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1498 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1499 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1500 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1501 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1502 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1503 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1504 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1505 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1506 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without

1512 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1513 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1514 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1515 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1516 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1517 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1526 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight

1528 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1529 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1530 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1531 especially if you are using gpm.
1533 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1534 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1536 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1537 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1538 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1539 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1540 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1541 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1543 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1544 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1546 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1547 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1548 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1573 depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VISWS
1576 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1577 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1578 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1579 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1580 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1582 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1583 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1584 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1585 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1586 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1587 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1588 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1639 These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables
1640 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1645 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1648 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1649 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1650 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1651 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1652 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1654 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1658 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1659 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1660 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1677 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1678 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1679 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1680 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1681 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1687 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1688 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1690 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1691 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1692 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1693 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1716 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1718 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1719 for other scx200_* drivers.

1740 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1741 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
