6 bool "ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support"
7 depends on !IA64_HP_SIM
13 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
14 Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
15 and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
16 management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
19 Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
20 legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
21 the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
22 MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
23 Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
24 are configured, ACPI is used.
26 The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
27 <https://01.org/linux-acpi>
29 Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
30 Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
34 ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by
35 Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently,
36 it is developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under
37 the UEFI Forum and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute
38 to the ACPI specification.
39 The specification is available at:

45 config ACPI_LEGACY_TABLES_LOOKUP
50 depends on SUSPEND || HIBERNATION
53 config ACPI_PROCFS_POWER
54 bool "Deprecated power /proc/acpi directories"
57 For backwards compatibility, this option allows
58 deprecated power /proc/acpi/ directories to exist, even when
59 they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
60 The deprecated directories (and their replacements) include:
61 /proc/acpi/battery/* (/sys/class/power_supply/*)
62 /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/* (sys/class/power_supply/*)
63 This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ directories
64 and functions, which do not yet exist in /sys
65 This option, together with the proc directories, will be
66 deleted in the future.
68 Say N to delete power /proc/acpi/ directories that have moved to /sys/
70 config ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS
71 tristate "EC read/write access through /sys/kernel/debug/ec"
74 Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface
76 Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded
77 Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then
78 have to power off your system, and remove the laptop battery for
80 An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
81 sensor values like battery state and temperature.
82 The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
83 tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
85 Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
86 and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
94 This driver supports the AC Adapter object, which indicates
95 whether a system is on AC or not. If you have a system that can
96 switch between A/C and battery, say Y.
98 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
99 the module will be called ac.
107 This driver adds support for battery information through
108 /proc/acpi/battery. If you have a mobile system with a battery,
111 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
112 the module will be called battery.
119 This driver handles events on the power, sleep, and lid buttons.
120 A daemon reads events from input devices or via netlink and
121 performs user-defined actions such as shutting down the system.
122 This is necessary for software-controlled poweroff.
124 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
125 the module will be called button.
129 depends on X86 && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
133 This driver implements the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters
134 for integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in
135 ACPI 2.0 Specification, Appendix B. This supports basic operations
136 such as defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information,
137 and setting up a video output.
139 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
140 the module will be called video.
147 This driver supports ACPI fan devices, allowing user-mode
148 applications to perform basic fan control (on, off, status).
150 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
151 the module will be called fan.
156 This driver supports ACPI-controlled docking stations and removable
157 drive bays such as the IBM Ultrabay and the Dell Module Bay.
159 config ACPI_PROCESSOR
165 This driver installs ACPI as the idle handler for Linux and uses
166 ACPI C2 and C3 processor states to save power on systems that
167 support it. It is required by several flavors of cpufreq
168 performance-state drivers.
170 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
171 the module will be called processor.
178 This driver enables the ACPI to access the BMC controller. And it
179 uses the IPMI request/response message to communicate with BMC
180 controller, which can be found on on the server.
182 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
183 the module will be called as acpi_ipmi.
185 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU
187 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR && HOTPLUG_CPU
188 select ACPI_CONTAINER
191 config ACPI_PROCESSOR_AGGREGATOR
192 tristate "Processor Aggregator"
193 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
196 ACPI 4.0 defines processor Aggregator, which enables OS to perform
197 specific processor configuration and control that applies to all
198 processors in the platform. Currently only logical processor idling
199 is defined, which is to reduce power consumption. This driver
200 supports the new device.
203 tristate "Thermal Zone"
204 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
208 This driver supports ACPI thermal zones. Most mobile and
209 some desktop systems support ACPI thermal zones. It is HIGHLY
210 recommended that this option be enabled, as your processor(s)
211 may be damaged without it.
213 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
214 the module will be called thermal.
219 depends on (X86 || IA64)
220 default y if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
222 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
223 string "Custom DSDT Table file to include"
225 depends on !STANDALONE
227 This option supports a custom DSDT by linking it into the kernel.
228 See Documentation/acpi/dsdt-override.txt
230 Enter the full path name to the file which includes the AmlCode
233 If unsure, don't enter a file name.
235 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT
237 default ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE != ""
239 config ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE
240 bool "ACPI tables override via initrd"
241 depends on BLK_DEV_INITRD && X86
244 This option provides functionality to override arbitrary ACPI tables
245 via initrd. No functional change if no ACPI tables are passed via
246 initrd, therefore it's safe to say Y.
247 See Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt for details
250 bool "Debug Statements"
253 The ACPI subsystem can produce debug output. Saying Y enables this
254 output and increases the kernel size by around 50K.
256 Use the acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level kernel command-line
257 parameters documented in Documentation/acpi/debug.txt and
258 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to control the type and
259 amount of debug output.
262 bool "PCI slot detection driver"
266 This driver creates entries in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ for all PCI
267 slots in the system. This can help correlate PCI bus addresses,
268 i.e., segment/bus/device/function tuples, with physical slots in
269 the system. If you are unsure, say N.
272 bool "Power Management Timer Support" if EXPERT
276 The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
277 in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
279 This timing source is not affected by power management features
280 like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
281 voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
284 You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
285 systems require this timer.
287 config ACPI_CONTAINER
288 bool "Container and Module Devices"
289 default (ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY || ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU)
291 This driver supports ACPI Container and Module devices (IDs
292 ACPI0004, PNP0A05, and PNP0A06).
294 This helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory.
296 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
297 the module will be called container.
299 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY
300 bool "Memory Hotplug"
301 depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG
303 This driver supports ACPI memory hotplug. The driver
304 fields notifications on ACPI memory devices (PNP0C80),
305 which represent memory ranges that may be onlined or
306 offlined during runtime.
308 If your hardware and firmware do not support adding or
309 removing memory devices at runtime, you need not enable
312 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
313 the module will be called acpi_memhotplug.
316 tristate "Smart Battery System"
320 This driver supports the Smart Battery System, another
321 type of access to battery information, found on some laptops.
323 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
324 the modules will be called sbs and sbshc.
327 tristate "Hardware Error Device"
329 This driver supports the Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33),
330 which is used to report some hardware errors notified via
331 SCI, mainly the corrected errors.
333 config ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD
334 tristate "Allow ACPI methods to be inserted/replaced at run time"
338 This debug facility allows ACPI AML methods to be inserted and/or
339 replaced without rebooting the system. For details refer to:
340 Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt.
342 NOTE: This option is security sensitive, because it allows arbitrary
343 kernel memory to be written to by root (uid=0) users, allowing them
344 to bypass certain security measures (e.g. if root is not allowed to
345 load additional kernel modules after boot, this feature may be used
346 to override that restriction).
349 bool "Boottime Graphics Resource Table support"
350 depends on EFI && X86
352 This driver adds support for exposing the ACPI Boottime Graphics
353 Resource Table, which allows the operating system to obtain
354 data from the firmware boot splash. It will appear under
355 /sys/firmware/acpi/bgrt/ .
357 config ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE_ONLY
358 bool "Hardware-reduced ACPI support only" if EXPERT
362 This config item changes the way the ACPI code is built. When this
363 option is selected, the kernel will use a specialized version of
364 ACPICA that ONLY supports the ACPI "reduced hardware" mode. The
365 resulting kernel will be smaller but it will also be restricted to
366 running in ACPI reduced hardware mode ONLY.
368 If you are unsure what to do, do not enable this option.
370 source "drivers/acpi/apei/Kconfig"
373 tristate "Extended Error Log support"
374 depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
378 Certain usages such as Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) require
379 more information about the error than what can be described in
380 processor machine check banks. Most server processors log
381 additional information about the error in processor uncore
382 registers. Since the addresses and layout of these registers vary
383 widely from one processor to another, system software cannot
384 readily make use of them. To complicate matters further, some of
385 the additional error information cannot be constructed without
386 detailed knowledge about platform topology.
388 Enhanced MCA Logging allows firmware to provide additional error
389 information to system software, synchronous with MCE or CMCI. This
390 driver adds support for that functionality.
