12 This is Linux's home port. Linux was originally native to the Intel
13 386, and runs on all the later x86 processors including the Intel
14 486, 586, Pentiums, and various instruction-set-compatible chips by
15 AMD, Cyrix, and others.

53 prompt "Subarchitecture Type"
59 Choose this option if your computer is a standard PC or compatible.
64 Select this for an AMD Elan processor.
66 Do not use this option for K6/Athlon/Opteron processors!
68 If unsure, choose "PC-compatible" instead.
73 Voyager is an MCA-based 32-way capable SMP architecture proprietary
74 to NCR Corp. Machine classes 345x/35xx/4100/51xx are Voyager-based.
78 If you do not specifically know you have a Voyager based machine,
79 say N here, otherwise the kernel you build will not be bootable.
82 bool "NUMAQ (IBM/Sequent)"
85 This option is used for getting Linux to run on a (IBM/Sequent) NUMA
86 multiquad box. This changes the way that processors are bootstrapped,
87 and uses Clustered Logical APIC addressing mode instead of Flat Logical.
88 You will need a new lynxer.elf file to flash your firmware with - send
89 email to <Martin.Bligh@us.ibm.com>.
92 bool "Summit/EXA (IBM x440)"
95 This option is needed for IBM systems that use the Summit/EXA chipset.
96 In particular, it is needed for the x440.
98 If you don't have one of these computers, you should say N here.
101 bool "Support for other sub-arch SMP systems with more than 8 CPUs"
104 This option is needed for the systems that have more than 8 CPUs
105 and if the system is not of any sub-arch type above.
107 If you don't have such a system, you should say N here.
110 bool "SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation)"
112 The SGI Visual Workstation series is an IA32-based workstation
113 based on SGI systems chips with some legacy PC hardware attached.
115 Say Y here to create a kernel to run on the SGI 320 or 540.
117 A kernel compiled for the Visual Workstation will not run on PCs
118 and vice versa. See <file:Documentation/sgi-visws.txt> for details.
120 config X86_GENERICARCH
121 bool "Generic architecture (Summit, bigsmp, ES7000, default)"
124 This option compiles in the Summit, bigsmp, ES7000, default subarchitectures.
125 It is intended for a generic binary kernel.
128 bool "Support for Unisys ES7000 IA32 series"
131 Support for Unisys ES7000 systems. Say 'Y' here if this kernel is
132 supposed to run on an IA32-based Unisys ES7000 system.

163 This enables the use of the HPET for the kernel's internal timer.
164 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
165 You can safely choose Y here. However, HPET will only be
166 activated if the platform and the BIOS support this feature.
167 Otherwise the 8254 will be used for timing services.
169 Choose N to continue using the legacy 8254 timer.
171 config HPET_EMULATE_RTC
173 depends on HPET_TIMER && RTC=y
177 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
179 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
180 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
181 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
183 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
184 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
185 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
186 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
187 will run faster if you say N here.
189 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
190 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
191 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
192 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
194 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
195 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
196 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.
198 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt>,

203 If you don't know what to do here, say N.
206 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-255)"
209 default "32" if X86_NUMAQ || X86_SUMMIT || X86_BIGSMP || X86_ES7000
212 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
213 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 255 and the
214 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
216 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
217 approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.
220 bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"
224 SMT scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making
225 when dealing with Intel Pentium 4 chips with HyperThreading at a
226 cost of slightly increased overhead in some places. If unsure say

233 depends on !SMP && !(X86_VISWS || X86_VOYAGER)
235 A local APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) is an
236 integrated interrupt controller in the CPU. If you have a single-CPU
237 system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
238 enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't
239 have a local APIC, then the kernel will still run with no slowdown at
240 all. The local APIC supports CPU-generated self-interrupts (timer,
241 performance counters), and the NMI watchdog which detects hard
245 bool "IO-APIC support on uniprocessors"
246 depends on X86_UP_APIC
248 An IO-APIC (I/O Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) is an
249 SMP-capable replacement for PC-style interrupt controllers. Most
250 SMP systems and many recent uniprocessor systems have one.
252 If you have a single-CPU system with an IO-APIC, you can say Y here
253 to use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't have
254 an IO-APIC, then the kernel will still run with no slowdown at all.

272 bool "Machine Check Exception"
273 depends on !X86_VOYAGER
275 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
276 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
277 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
278 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
279 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
280 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
281 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
282 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
283 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
284 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
285 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
286 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.
288 config X86_MCE_NONFATAL
289 tristate "Check for non-fatal errors on AMD Athlon/Duron / Intel Pentium 4"
292 Enabling this feature starts a timer that triggers every 5 seconds which
293 will look at the machine check registers to see if anything happened.
294 Non-fatal problems automatically get corrected (but still logged).
295 Disable this if you don't want to see these messages.
296 Seeing the messages this option prints out may be indicative of dying hardware,
297 or out-of-spec (ie, overclocked) hardware.
298 This option only does something on certain CPUs.

302 bool "check for P4 thermal throttling interrupt."
303 depends on X86_MCE && (X86_UP_APIC || SMP) && !X86_VISWS
305 Enabling this feature will cause a message to be printed when the P4
306 enters thermal throttling.
309 tristate "Toshiba Laptop support"
311 This adds a driver to safely access the System Management Mode of
312 the CPU on Toshiba portables with a genuine Toshiba BIOS. It does
313 not work on models with a Phoenix BIOS. The System Management Mode
314 is used to set the BIOS and power saving options on Toshiba portables.
316 For information on utilities to make use of this driver see the
317 Toshiba Linux utilities web site at:
318 <http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/>.
320 Say Y if you intend to run this kernel on a Toshiba portable.
324 tristate "Dell laptop support"
326 This adds a driver to safely access the System Management Mode
327 of the CPU on the Dell Inspiron 8000. The System Management Mode
328 is used to read cpu temperature and cooling fan status and to
329 control the fans on the I8K portables.
331 This driver has been tested only on the Inspiron 8000 but it may
332 also work with other Dell laptops. You can force loading on other
333 models by passing the parameter `force=1' to the module. Use at

343 config X86_REBOOTFIXUPS
344 bool "Enable X86 board specific fixups for reboot"
348 This enables chipset and/or board specific fixups to be done
349 in order to get reboot to work correctly. This is only needed on
350 some combinations of hardware and BIOS. The symptom, for which
351 this config is intended, is when reboot ends with a stalled/hung
354 Currently, the only fixup is for the Geode GX1/CS5530A/TROM2.1.
357 Say Y if you want to enable the fixup. Currently, it's safe to
358 enable this option even if you don't need it.
362 tristate "/dev/cpu/microcode - Intel IA32 CPU microcode support"
364 If you say Y here and also to "/dev file system support" in the
365 'File systems' section, you will be able to update the microcode on
366 Intel processors in the IA32 family, e.g. Pentium Pro, Pentium II,
367 Pentium III, Pentium 4, Xeon etc. You will obviously need the
368 actual microcode binary data itself which is not shipped with the

381 This device gives privileged processes access to the x86
382 Model-Specific Registers (MSRs). It is a character device with
383 major 202 and minors 0 to 31 for /dev/cpu/0/msr to /dev/cpu/31/msr.
384 MSR accesses are directed to a specific CPU on multi-processor

398 prompt "High Memory Support"
404 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
405 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
406 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
407 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
408 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
411 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
412 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
413 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
414 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
415 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
416 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
419 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
422 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
423 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
424 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
425 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
426 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
427 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
429 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
430 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
431 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
432 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
433 kernel at boot time.)
435 If unsure, say "off".
440 Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and between 1 and 4
441 gigabytes of physical RAM.
446 Select this if you have a 32-bit processor and more than 4
447 gigabytes of physical RAM.

456 Select the desired split between kernel and user memory.
458 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
459 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
460 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
461 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
462 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
463 available to user programs, making the address space there
464 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

564 The VM uses one page table entry for each page of physical memory.
565 For systems with a lot of RAM, this can be wasteful of precious
566 low memory. Setting this option will put user-space page table
567 entries in high memory.
569 config MATH_EMULATION
570 bool "Math emulation"
572 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
573 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
574 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
575 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
576 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
577 coprocessor or this emulation.
579 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
580 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
581 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
582 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
583 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
584 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
585 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
586 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
588 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
589 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.
591 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
592 kernel, it won't hurt.
595 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
597 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
598 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
599 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
600 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
601 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
602 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
603 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
604 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
605 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
607 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
608 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
611 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
612 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
613 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
614 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
615 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
616 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
617 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
619 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
620 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
621 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
623 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
624 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
626 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.
629 bool "Boot from EFI support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
633 This enables the the kernel to boot on EFI platforms using
634 system configuration information passed to it from the firmware.
635 This also enables the kernel to use any EFI runtime services that are
636 available (such as the EFI variable services).
638 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware
639 and will result in a kernel image that is ~8k larger. In addition,
640 you must use the latest ELILO loader available at
641 <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage of
642 kernel initialization using EFI information (neither GRUB nor LILO know
643 anything about EFI). However, even with this option, the resultant
644 kernel should continue to boot on existing non-EFI platforms.
647 bool "Enable kernel irq balancing"

666 Compile the kernel with -mregparm=3. This uses a different ABI
667 and passes the first three arguments of a function call in registers.
668 This will probably break binary only modules.
671 bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
675 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
676 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
677 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
678 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
679 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
680 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
681 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
682 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
683 defined by each seccomp mode.
685 If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.

690 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
691 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
693 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
694 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
695 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
696 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
698 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
700 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
701 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
702 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
703 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
704 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

714 hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EMBEDDED || CRASH_DUMP)
716 default "0x1000000" if CRASH_DUMP
719 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. Normally
720 for regular kernels this value is 0x100000 (1MB). But in the case
721 of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
722 address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
723 address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
724 after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
725 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as
726 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
727 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
728 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at

771 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
772 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
773 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
775 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
776 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
778 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
779 machines with more than one CPU.

783 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
784 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
786 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
787 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
788 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
790 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
791 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
792 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
793 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
795 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
796 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
797 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
798 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
801 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
804 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
806 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
807 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
808 the "no387" option to the kernel
809 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
810 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
811 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
812 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
813 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
814 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
815 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
816 10) install a better fan for the CPU
817 11) exchange RAM chips
818 12) exchange the motherboard.
820 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
821 module will be called apm.
823 config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND
824 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
827 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
828 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
829 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.
832 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
835 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
836 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
837 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
838 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
839 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
840 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
841 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
842 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
843 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
844 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
845 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
846 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
850 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
853 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
854 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
855 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
856 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
857 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
858 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
859 this option does nothing.)
861 config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
862 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
865 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
866 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
867 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
868 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
869 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
870 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
871 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
872 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
873 especially if you are using gpm.
875 config APM_RTC_IS_GMT
876 bool "RTC stores time in GMT"
879 Say Y here if your RTC (Real Time Clock a.k.a. hardware clock)
880 stores the time in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Say N if your RTC
883 It is in fact recommended to store GMT in your RTC, because then you
884 don't have to worry about daylight savings time changes. The only
885 reason not to use GMT in your RTC is if you also run a broken OS
886 that doesn't understand GMT.
888 config APM_ALLOW_INTS
889 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
892 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
893 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
894 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
895 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
896 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
897 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
899 config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
900 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
903 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
904 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
905 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

920 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
921 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
922 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
923 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
925 The PCI-HOWTO, available from

927 information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
931 prompt "PCI access mode"
932 depends on PCI && !X86_VISWS
935 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
936 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
937 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
938 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
939 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
941 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
942 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
943 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
944 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
945 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
946 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
947 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

992 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
993 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
994 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
1000 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1001 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1003 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1004 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1005 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1006 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1008 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
