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

480 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
481 The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
482 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
483 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at
484 <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.
486 You can safely choose Y here. However, HPET will only be
487 activated if the platform and the BIOS support this feature.

514 Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
515 on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
516 sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
517 Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
518 based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
519 on Intel systems and as fallback.

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

554 bool "AMD IOMMU support"
557 depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI
559 With this option you can enable support for AMD IOMMU hardware in
560 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
561 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
562 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
563 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
565 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
566 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
569 # need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
573 Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
574 which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
575 of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
576 access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than
577 3 GB of memory. If unsure, say Y.

666 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
667 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
668 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
669 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
670 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
671 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
672 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
673 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
674 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
675 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
676 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
677 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

1088 Periodically check for memory corruption in low memory, which
1089 is suspected to be caused by BIOS. Even when enabled in the
1090 configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
1091 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command
1092 line. By default it scans the low 64k of memory every 60
1093 seconds; see the memory_corruption_check_size and
1094 memory_corruption_check_period parameters in
1095 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to adjust this.
1097 When enabled with the default parameters, this option has
1098 almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount
1099 of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
1100 and prevents it from affecting the running system.

1127 If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does not
1128 work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware hotplug
1129 events) and it's not AMI or Phoenix, then you might want to enable

1131 corruption patterns.
1135 config MATH_EMULATION
1137 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1139 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1140 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1141 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1142 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1143 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1144 coprocessor or this emulation.
1146 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1147 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1148 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1149 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1150 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1151 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1152 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1153 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1155 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1156 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1158 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1159 kernel, it won't hurt.
1162 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1164 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1165 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1166 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1167 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1168 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1169 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1170 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1171 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1172 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1174 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1175 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1178 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1179 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1180 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1181 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1182 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1183 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1184 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1186 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1187 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1188 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1190 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1191 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1193 See <file:Documentation/x86/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1268 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1269 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

1271 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1272 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1273 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1274 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
1275 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1276 defined by each seccomp mode.

1282 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1284 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1285 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1286 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1287 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1288 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1289 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1290 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1292 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1293 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1294 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1310 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1311 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1312 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1313 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1315 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1317 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1318 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1319 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1320 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1321 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1329 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1330 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1331 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1332 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1333 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1334 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1351 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1353 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1354 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1355 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1356 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1359 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1360 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1361 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1362 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1363 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1364 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1365 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1366 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1368 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1369 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1370 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1371 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1372 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1373 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1374 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1375 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1376 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1378 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1379 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1380 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1381 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1382 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1383 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1386 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1389 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1390 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1392 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1393 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1394 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1395 but are discarded at runtime.
1397 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1398 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1401 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1402 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address

1410 range 0x2000 0x400000
1412 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1413 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1414 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1416 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1417 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1418 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1420 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1421 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1422 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1423 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1424 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1425 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1426 above alignment restrictions.

1460 kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
1461 to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
1463 To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
1464 set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
1465 the boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.

1536 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1538 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1539 machines with more than one CPU.
1541 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1542 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1543 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1544 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1546 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1547 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1548 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1550 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1551 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1552 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1553 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1555 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1556 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1557 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1558 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1561 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1564 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1566 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1567 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1568 the "no387" option to the kernel
1569 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1570 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1571 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1572 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1573 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1574 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1575 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1576 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1577 11) exchange RAM chips
1578 12) exchange the motherboard.
1580 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1581 module will be called apm.
1585 config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND
1586 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
1588 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
1589 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
1590 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.
1592 config APM_DO_ENABLE
1593 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1595 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1596 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1597 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1598 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1599 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1600 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1601 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1602 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1603 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1604 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1605 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1606 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1610 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1612 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1613 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1614 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1615 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1616 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1617 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1618 this option does nothing.)
1620 config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1621 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1623 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1624 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1625 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1626 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1627 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1628 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1629 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1630 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1631 especially if you are using gpm.
1633 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1634 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1636 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1637 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1638 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1639 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1640 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1641 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1643 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1644 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1646 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1647 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1648 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1667 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside

1669 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1672 prompt "PCI access mode"
1673 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1676 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1677 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1678 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1679 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1680 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1682 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1683 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1684 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1685 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1686 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1687 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1688 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1740 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1745 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1748 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1749 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1750 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1751 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1752 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1754 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1758 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1759 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1760 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1785 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1786 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1787 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1788 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1789 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1795 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1796 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1798 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1799 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1800 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1801 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1824 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1825 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1826 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1827 for other scx200_* drivers.

1837 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1838 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
