bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
---help---
This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more
than one CPU, say Y.
If you say N here, the kernel will run on uni- and multiprocessor
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
uniprocessor machines. On a uniprocessor machine, the kernel
will run faster if you say N here.
Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
"Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.
See also <file:Documentation/x86/i386/IO-APIC.txt>,
<file:Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO available at
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
config X86_FEATURE_NAMES
bool "Processor feature human-readable names" if EMBEDDED
default y
---help---
This option compiles in a table of x86 feature bits and corresponding
names. This is required to support /proc/cpuinfo and a few kernel
messages. You can disable this to save space, at the expense of
making those few kernel messages show numeric feature bits instead.
If in doubt, say Y.
config X86_X2APIC
bool "Support x2apic"

This enables x2apic support on CPUs that have this feature.
This allows 32-bit apic IDs (so it can support very large systems),
and accesses the local apic via MSRs not via mmio.
If you don't know what to do here, say N.

things like clock tree (common clock framework) and pincontrol
which are needed by the LPSS peripheral drivers.
config X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE

I2C and UART depend on COMMON_CLK to set clock. GPIO driver is
implemented under PINCTRL subsystem.
config IOSF_MBI
tristate "Intel SoC IOSF Sideband support for SoC platforms"

---help---
This option enables sideband register access support for Intel SoC
platforms. On these platforms the IOSF sideband is used in lieu of
MSR's for some register accesses, mostly but not limited to thermal
and power. Drivers may query the availability of this device to
determine if they need the sideband in order to work on these
platforms. The sideband is available on the following SoC products.
This list is not meant to be exclusive.
- BayTrail
- Braswell
- Quark
You should say Y if you are running a kernel on one of these SoC's.
config IOSF_MBI_DEBUG
bool "Enable IOSF sideband access through debugfs"
depends on IOSF_MBI && DEBUG_FS
---help---
Select this option to expose the IOSF sideband access registers (MCR,
MDR, MCRX) through debugfs to write and read register information from
different units on the SoC. This is most useful for obtaining device
state information for debug and analysis. As this is a general access
mechanism, users of this option would have specific knowledge of the
device they want to access.
If you don't require the option or are in doubt, say N.

---help---
The Iris machines from EuroBraille do not have APM or ACPI support
to shut themselves down properly. A special I/O sequence is
needed to do so, which is what this module does at
kernel shutdown.
This is only for Iris machines from EuroBraille.
If unused, say N.

caller function. This provides more accurate wchan values,
at the expense of slightly more scheduling overhead.
If in doubt, say "Y".
menuconfig HYPERVISOR_GUEST
bool "Linux guest support"
---help---
Say Y here to enable options for running Linux under various hyper-
visors. This option enables basic hypervisor detection and platform
setup.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
disabled, and Linux guest support won't be built in.

This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor
the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

Paravirtualized spinlocks allow a pvops backend to replace the
spinlock implementation with something virtualization-friendly
(for example, block the virtual CPU rather than spinning).
It has a minimal impact on native kernels and gives a nice performance
benefit on paravirtualized KVM / Xen kernels.
If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.

This option enables various optimizations for running under the KVM
hypervisor. It includes a paravirtualized clock, so that instead
of relying on a PIT (or probably other) emulation by the
underlying device model, the host provides the guest with
timing infrastructure such as time of day, and system time
config KVM_DEBUG_FS

This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of

interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
down (vital) interrupt lines.

This option allows user programs to put the CPU into V8086

Some very old versions of X and/or vbetool require this option
for user mode setting. Similarly, DOSEMU will use it if
available to accelerate real mode DOS programs. However, any
recent version of DOSEMU, X, or vbetool should be fully
functional even without kernel VM86 support, as they will all
fall back to software emulation. Nevertheless, if you are using
a 16-bit DOS program where 16-bit performance matters, vm86
mode might be faster than emulation and you might want to
enable this option.
Note that any app that works on a 64-bit kernel is unlikely to
need this option, as 64-bit kernels don't, and can't, support
V8086 mode. This option is also unrelated to 16-bit protected

bool "off"
---help---
Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
"high memory".
If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
possible.
If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
answer "4GB" here.
If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
kernel at boot time.)

By default we reserve the first 64K of physical RAM, as a

during events such as suspend/resume or monitor cable
insertion, so it must not be used by the kernel.
You can set this to 4 if you are absolutely sure that you
trust the BIOS to get all its memory reservations and usages
right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the
default 64K area, you can set this to 640 to avoid using the
entire low memory range.
If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does

coprocessor or this emulation.
If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
intend to use this kernel on different machines.
More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
kernel, it won't hurt.
config MTRR
def_bool y
prompt "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" if EXPERT
---help---
On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
/proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
control registers on other processors can be easily supported
as well:
The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

MPX provides hardware features that can be used in

memory references. It is designed to detect buffer
overflow or underflow bugs.
This option enables running applications which are
instrumented or otherwise use MPX. It does not use MPX
itself inside the kernel or to protect the kernel
against bad memory references.
Enabling this option will make the kernel larger:
~8k of kernel text and 36 bytes of data on a 64-bit
defconfig. It adds a long to the 'mm_struct' which
will increase the kernel memory overhead of each
process and adds some branches to paths used during
exec() and munmap().

This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware.
In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available

---help---
This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
defined by each seccomp mode.
If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
initially work for you. As of this writing the exact hardware
interface is strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be
made.

Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
a specially reserved region and then later executed after
a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
(CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
config KEXEC_JUMP

---help---
This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
address.
In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
(CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
(normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
for more details about crash dumps.
Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
is present because there are users out there who continue to use
vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
line.
Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
config RELOCATABLE
bool "Build a relocatable kernel"
default y
---help---
This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
but are discarded at runtime.
One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
must live at a different physical address than the primary
kernel.
Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
(CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is used as the minimum location.
config RANDOMIZE_BASE
bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image"
depends on RELOCATABLE
default n
---help---
Randomizes the physical and virtual address at which the
kernel image is decompressed, as a security feature that
deters exploit attempts relying on knowledge of the location
of kernel internals.
Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
supported. If RDTSC is supported, it is used as well. If
neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are supported, then randomness is
read from the i8254 timer.
The kernel will be offset by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET,
and aligned according to PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Since the kernel is
built using 2GiB addressing, and PHYSICAL_ALGIN must be at a
minimum of 2MiB, only 10 bits of entropy is theoretically
possible. At best, due to page table layouts, 64-bit can use
9 bits of entropy and 32-bit uses 8 bits.
If unsure, say N.

---help---
The lesser of RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET and available physical
memory is used to determine the maximal offset in bytes that will
be applied to the kernel when kernel Address Space Layout
Randomization (kASLR) is active. This must be a multiple of
PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
On 32-bit this is limited to 512MiB by page table layouts. The
default is 512MiB.
On 64-bit this is limited by how the kernel fixmap page table is
positioned, so this cannot be larger than 1GiB currently. Without
RANDOMIZE_BASE, there is a 512MiB to 1.5GiB split between kernel
and modules. When RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET is above 512MiB, the
modules area will shrink to compensate, up to the current maximum
1GiB to 1GiB split. The default is 1GiB.
If unsure, leave at the default value.

---help---
This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
address which meets above alignment restriction.
If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
address aligned to above value and run from there.
If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
above alignment restrictions.
On 32-bit this value must be a multiple of 0x2000. On 64-bit

Please note: there are two known CPU0 dependencies if you want
to enable the CPU0 hotplug feature either by this switch or by
cpu0_hotplug kernel parameter.
First, resume from hibernate or suspend always starts from CPU0.
So hibernate and suspend are prevented if CPU0 is offline.
Second dependency is PIC interrupts always go to CPU0. CPU0 can not
offline if any interrupt can not migrate out of CPU0. There may
be other CPU0 dependencies.
Please make sure the dependencies are under your control before
you enable this feature.

indicated in its segment table.
The bug was introduced by f866314b89d56845f55e6f365e18b31ec978ec3a
and fixed by 3b3ddb4f7db98ec9e912ccdf54d35df4aa30e04a and

the only released version with the bug, but OpenSUSE 9
contains a buggy "glibc 2.3.2".
The symptom of the bug is that everything crashes on startup, saying:
dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
Saying Y here changes the default value of the vdso32 boot
option from 1 to 0, which turns off the 32-bit vDSO entirely.
This works around the glibc bug but hurts performance.

are unlikely to be using a buggy version of glibc.

To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
set this option to 'Y', then fill in the

APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
machines with more than one CPU.
In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
APM in your BIOS).
Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
"weird" problems:
1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
enabled.
2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
the "no387" option to the kernel
4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
10) install a better fan for the CPU
11) exchange RAM chips
12) exchange the motherboard.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called apm.

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

a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

default PCI_GOANY
---help---
On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

bool "ISA support"
---help---
Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
(MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

bool "EISA support"

---help---
The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
Otherwise, say N.

This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

config X86_SYSFB
bool "Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer"
help
Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
to x86.
This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
incompatible with simplefb.
If unsure, say Y.
