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

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

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

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

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

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

1087 Periodically check for memory corruption in low memory, which
1088 is suspected to be caused by BIOS. Even when enabled in the
1089 configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
1090 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command
1091 line. By default it scans the low 64k of memory every 60
1092 seconds; see the memory_corruption_check_size and
1093 memory_corruption_check_period parameters in

1096 When enabled with the default parameters, this option has
1097 almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount
1098 of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
1099 and prevents it from affecting the running system.

1126 If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does not
1127 work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware hotplug
1128 events) and it's not AMI or Phoenix, then you might want to enable

1130 corruption patterns.
1134 config MATH_EMULATION
1136 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1138 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1139 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1140 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1141 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1142 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1143 coprocessor or this emulation.
1145 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1146 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1147 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1148 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1149 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1150 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1151 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1152 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1154 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1155 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1157 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1158 kernel, it won't hurt.
1161 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1163 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1164 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1165 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1166 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1167 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1168 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1169 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1170 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1171 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1173 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1174 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1177 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1178 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1179 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1180 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1181 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1182 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1183 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1185 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1186 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1187 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1189 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1190 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1267 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1268 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

1270 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1271 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1272 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1273 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
1274 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1275 defined by each seccomp mode.

1281 depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN
1283 This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
1284 feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
1285 value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
1286 the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
1287 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
1288 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
1289 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1291 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1292 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1293 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.

1309 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1310 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1311 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1312 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1314 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1316 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1317 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1318 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1319 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1320 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1328 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1329 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1330 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1331 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1332 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1333 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1350 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1352 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1353 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1354 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1355 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1358 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1359 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1360 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1361 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1362 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1363 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1364 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1365 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1367 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1368 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1369 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1370 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1371 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1372 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1373 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1374 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1375 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1377 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1378 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1379 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1380 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1381 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1382 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1385 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.
1388 bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1389 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
1391 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1392 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1393 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1394 but are discarded at runtime.
1396 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1397 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1400 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1401 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address

1409 range 0x2000 0x400000
1411 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
1412 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
1413 address which meets above alignment restriction.
1415 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1416 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
1417 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1419 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1420 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1421 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1422 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1423 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1424 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1425 above alignment restrictions.

1459 kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
1460 to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
1462 To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
1463 set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
1464 the boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.

1535 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1537 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1538 machines with more than one CPU.
1540 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1541 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1542 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1543 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1545 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1546 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1547 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1549 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1550 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1551 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1552 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1554 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1555 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1556 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1557 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1560 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1563 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1565 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1566 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1567 the "no387" option to the kernel
1568 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1569 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1570 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1571 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1572 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1573 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1574 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1575 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1576 11) exchange RAM chips
1577 12) exchange the motherboard.
1579 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1580 module will be called apm.
1584 config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND
1585 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
1587 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
1588 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
1589 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.
1591 config APM_DO_ENABLE
1592 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1594 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1595 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1596 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1597 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1598 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1599 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1600 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1601 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1602 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1603 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1604 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1605 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1609 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1611 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1612 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1613 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1614 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1615 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1616 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1617 this option does nothing.)
1619 config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1620 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1622 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1623 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1624 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1625 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1626 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1627 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1628 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1629 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1630 especially if you are using gpm.
1632 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1633 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1635 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1636 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1637 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1638 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1639 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1640 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1642 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1643 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1645 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1646 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1647 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1668 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1671 prompt "PCI access mode"
1672 depends on X86_32 && PCI
1675 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1676 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1677 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1678 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1679 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1681 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1682 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1683 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1684 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1685 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1686 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1687 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1739 and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA
1744 prompt "Support for Graphics workaround"
1747 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1748 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1749 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1750 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1751 to use physical addresses for DMA.
1753 config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA
1757 Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls
1758 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1759 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1784 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1785 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1786 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1787 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1788 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1794 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1795 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1797 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1798 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1799 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1800 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1823 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1825 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1826 for other scx200_* drivers.

1836 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1837 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1838 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
