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

481 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
482 The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
483 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
484 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at

517 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
518 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
519 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used

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

558 depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI
560 With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
561 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
562 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
563 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
564 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
566 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
567 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI

574 Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
575 which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
576 of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
577 access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than

669 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
670 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
671 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
672 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
673 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
674 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
675 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
676 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
677 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

1064 config MATH_EMULATION
1066 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1068 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1069 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1070 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1071 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1072 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1073 coprocessor or this emulation.
1075 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1076 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1077 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1078 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1079 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1080 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1081 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1082 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1084 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1085 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1087 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1088 kernel, it won't hurt.
1091 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1093 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1094 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1095 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1096 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1097 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1098 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1099 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1100 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1101 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1103 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1104 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1107 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1108 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1109 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1110 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1111 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1112 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1113 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1115 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1116 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1117 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1119 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1120 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1197 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1198 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

1200 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1201 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1202 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1203 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
1204 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1205 defined by each seccomp mode.

1213 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1214 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1215 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1216 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1217 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1218 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1219 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1221 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1222 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1223 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1236 bool "kexec system call"
1237 depends on X86_BIOS_REBOOT
1239 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1240 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1241 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1242 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1244 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1246 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1247 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1248 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1249 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1250 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1258 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1259 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1260 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1261 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1262 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1263 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1280 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1282 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1283 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1284 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1285 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1288 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1289 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1290 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1291 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1292 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1293 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1294 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1295 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1297 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1298 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1299 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1300 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1301 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1302 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1303 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1304 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1305 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1307 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1308 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1309 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1310 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1311 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1312 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1315 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1318 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1319 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1321 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1322 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1323 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1324 but are discarded at runtime.
1326 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1327 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1330 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1331 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1332 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.

1339 range 0x2000 0x400000
1341 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1342 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1343 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1345 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1346 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1347 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1349 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1350 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1351 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1352 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1353 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1354 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1355 above alignment restrictions.

1389 kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
1390 to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
1392 To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
1393 set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
1394 the boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.

1459 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1460 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1461 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive

1464 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1465 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1467 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1468 machines with more than one CPU.
1470 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1471 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1472 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1473 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1476 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1477 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1479 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1480 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1481 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver

1524 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1525 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1526 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1527 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1528 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1529 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1530 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1531 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1532 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1533 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1534 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1535 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1539 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1541 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1542 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1543 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1544 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1545 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1546 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1547 this option does nothing.)
1549 config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1550 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1552 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1553 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1554 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1555 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1556 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1557 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1558 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1559 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1560 especially if you are using gpm.
1562 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1563 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1565 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1566 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1567 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1568 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1569 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1570 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1572 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1573 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1575 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1576 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1577 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1598 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1601 prompt "PCI access mode"
1602 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1605 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1606 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1607 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1608 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1609 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1611 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1612 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1613 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1614 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1615 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1616 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1617 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1669 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1674 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1677 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1678 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1679 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1680 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1681 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1683 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1687 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1688 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This

1714 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1715 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1716 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1717 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1718 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1724 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1725 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1727 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1728 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1729 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1730 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1753 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
