16 The Itanium Processor Family is Intel's 64-bit successor to
17 the 32-bit X86 line. The IA-64 Linux project has a home
18 page at <http://www.linuxia64.org/> and a mailing list at
19 <linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org>.

37 config GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
41 config TIME_INTERPOLATION
53 config SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER
57 config IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR
59 select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR
70 select VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP
73 This selects the system type of your hardware. A "generic" kernel
74 will run on any supported IA-64 system. However, if you configure
75 a kernel for your specific system, it will be faster and smaller.
77 generic For any supported IA-64 system
78 DIG-compliant For DIG ("Developer's Interface Guide") compliant systems
79 HP-zx1/sx1000 For HP systems
80 HP-zx1/sx1000+swiotlb For HP systems with (broken) DMA-constrained devices.
81 SGI-SN2 For SGI Altix systems
82 Ski-simulator For the HP simulator <http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/ski/>
84 If you don't know what to do, choose "generic".
92 Build a kernel that runs on HP zx1 and sx1000 systems. This adds
93 support for the HP I/O MMU.
95 config IA64_HP_ZX1_SWIOTLB
96 bool "HP-zx1/sx1000 with software I/O TLB"
98 Build a kernel that runs on HP zx1 and sx1000 systems even when they
99 have broken PCI devices which cannot DMA to full 32 bits. Apart
100 from support for the HP I/O MMU, this includes support for the software
101 I/O TLB, which allows supporting the broken devices at the expense of
102 wasting some kernel memory (about 2MB by default).
107 Selecting this option will optimize the kernel for use on sn2 based
108 systems, but the resulting kernel binary will not run on other
109 types of ia64 systems. If you have an SGI Altix system, it's safe
110 to select this option. If in doubt, select ia64 generic support
119 prompt "Processor type"
125 Select your IA-64 processor type. The default is Itanium.
126 This choice is safe for all IA-64 systems, but may not perform
127 optimally on systems with, say, Itanium 2 or newer processors.
132 Select this to configure for an Itanium 2 (McKinley) processor.
137 prompt "Kernel page size"
138 default IA64_PAGE_SIZE_16KB
140 config IA64_PAGE_SIZE_4KB
143 This lets you select the page size of the kernel. For best IA-64
144 performance, a page size of 8KB or 16KB is recommended. For best
145 IA-32 compatibility, a page size of 4KB should be selected (the vast
146 majority of IA-32 binaries work perfectly fine with a larger page
147 size). For Itanium 2 or newer systems, a page size of 64KB can also
150 4KB For best IA-32 compatibility
151 8KB For best IA-64 performance
152 16KB For best IA-64 performance
153 64KB Requires Itanium 2 or newer processor.
155 If you don't know what to do, choose 16KB.

182 # align cache-sensitive data to 64 bytes
185 depends on !IA64_HP_SIM
186 default y if IA64_SGI_SN2
189 Say Y to compile the kernel to support NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory
190 Access). This option is for configuring high-end multiprocessor
191 server systems. If in doubt, say N.
193 config VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP
194 bool "Virtual mem map"
195 default y if !IA64_HP_SIM
197 Say Y to compile the kernel with support for a virtual mem map.
198 This code also only takes effect if a memory hole of greater than
199 1 Gb is found during boot. You must turn this option on if you
200 require the DISCONTIGMEM option for your machine. If you are
205 default y if VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP
207 config ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE
208 bool "Discontiguous memory support"
209 depends on (IA64_DIG || IA64_SGI_SN2 || IA64_GENERIC || IA64_HP_ZX1 || IA64_HP_ZX1_SWIOTLB) && NUMA && VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP
210 default y if (IA64_SGI_SN2 || IA64_GENERIC) && NUMA
212 Say Y to support efficient handling of discontiguous physical memory,
213 for architectures which are either NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access)
214 or have huge holes in the physical address space for other reasons.
215 See <file:Documentation/vm/numa> for more.
218 bool "Cyclone (EXA) Time Source support"
220 Say Y here to enable support for IBM EXA Cyclone time source.
221 If you're unsure, answer N.
225 depends on !IA64_HP_SIM
228 config IA64_SGI_SN_XP
229 tristate "Support communication between SGI SSIs"
230 select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR
232 An SGI machine can be divided into multiple Single System
233 Images which act independently of each other and have
234 hardware based memory protection from the others. Enabling
235 this feature will allow for direct communication between SSIs
236 based on a network adapter and DMA messaging.
238 config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
243 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
245 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
246 a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more
249 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
250 systems, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor system. If
251 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
252 single processor systems. On a single processor system, the kernel
253 will run faster if you say N here.
255 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
256 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
258 If you don't know what to do here, say N.
261 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-512)"
266 You should set this to the number of CPUs in your system, but
267 keep in mind that a kernel compiled for, e.g., 2 CPUs will boot but
268 only use 2 CPUs on a >2 CPU system. Setting this to a value larger
269 than 64 will cause the use of a CPU mask array, causing a small
273 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs (EXPERIMENTAL)"
274 depends on SMP && EXPERIMENTAL
278 Say Y here to experiment with turning CPUs off and on. CPUs
279 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
280 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
283 bool "SMT scheduler support"
287 Improves the CPU scheduler's decision making when dealing with
288 Intel IA64 chips with MultiThreading at a cost of slightly increased
289 overhead in some places. If unsure say N here.
292 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
294 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
295 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
296 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
297 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
300 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
301 or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
306 bool "Support for Linux/x86 binaries"
308 IA-64 processors can execute IA-32 (X86) instructions. By
309 saying Y here, the kernel will include IA-32 system call
310 emulation support which makes it possible to transparently
311 run IA-32 Linux binaries on an IA-64 Linux system.
316 depends on IA32_SUPPORT
319 config IA64_MCA_RECOVERY
320 tristate "MCA recovery from errors other than TLB."
323 bool "Performance monitor support"
325 Selects whether support for the IA-64 performance monitor hardware
326 is included in the kernel. This makes some kernel data-structures a
327 little bigger and slows down execution a bit, but it is generally
328 a good idea to turn this on. If you're unsure, say Y.
331 tristate "/proc/pal support"
333 If you say Y here, you are able to get PAL (Processor Abstraction
334 Layer) information in /proc/pal. This contains useful information
335 about the processors in your systems, such as cache and TLB sizes
336 and the PAL firmware version in use.
338 To use this option, you have to ensure that the "/proc file system
339 support" (CONFIG_PROC_FS) is enabled, too.
