435 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
436 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
437 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"

676 and power. Drivers may query the availability of this device to
677 determine if they need the sideband in order to work on these

691 MDR, MCRX) through debugfs to write and read register information from
692 different units on the SoC. This is most useful for obtaining device
693 state information for debug and analysis. As this is a general access

1699 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point

1701 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1702 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1703 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1704 coprocessor or this emulation.
1706 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1707 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1708 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1709 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1710 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1711 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1712 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1713 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1715 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor

1725 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1726 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1727 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1728 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1729 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1730 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1731 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1732 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1733 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1735 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1736 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1739 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1740 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1741 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1742 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1743 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1744 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1745 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1747 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1748 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1749 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1751 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll

2145 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
2146 but are discarded at runtime.
2148 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
2149 must live at a different physical address than the primary
2152 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
2153 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
2154 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is used as the minimum location.
2156 config RANDOMIZE_BASE
2157 bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image (KASLR)"
2158 depends on RELOCATABLE
2161 In support of Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR),
2162 this randomizes the physical address at which the kernel image
2163 is decompressed and the virtual address where the kernel
2164 image is mapped, as a security feature that deters exploit
2165 attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel
2168 On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2169 randomized separately. The physical address will be anywhere
2170 between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The
2171 virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits
2172 of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space
2173 available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB.
2175 On 32-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2176 randomized together. They will be randomized from 16MB up to
2177 512MB (8 bits of entropy).
2179 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
2180 supported. If RDTSC is supported, its value is mixed into
2181 the entropy pool as well. If neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are
2182 supported, then entropy is read from the i8254 timer. The
2183 usable entropy is limited by the kernel being built using
2184 2GB addressing, and that PHYSICAL_ALIGN must be at a
2185 minimum of 2MB. As a result, only 10 bits of entropy are
2186 theoretically possible, but the implementations are further
2187 limited due to memory layouts.

2200 range 0x200000 0x1000000 if X86_64
2202 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
2203 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
2204 address which meets above alignment restriction.
2206 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
2207 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
2208 address aligned to above value and run from there.
2210 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
2211 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
2212 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
2213 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
2214 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
2215 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
2216 above alignment restrictions.
2218 On 32-bit this value must be a multiple of 0x2000. On 64-bit
2219 this value must be a multiple of 0x200000.

2238 makes exploits relying on predictable memory locations less reliable.
2240 The order of allocations remains unchanged. Entropy is generated in
2241 the same way as RANDOMIZE_BASE. Current implementation in the optimal

2282 Certain buggy versions of glibc will crash if they are
2283 presented with a 32-bit vDSO that is not mapped at the address
2284 indicated in its segment table.
2286 The bug was introduced by f866314b89d56845f55e6f365e18b31ec978ec3a
2287 and fixed by 3b3ddb4f7db98ec9e912ccdf54d35df4aa30e04a and
2288 49ad572a70b8aeb91e57483a11dd1b77e31c4468. Glibc 2.3.3 is
2289 the only released version with the bug, but OpenSUSE 9
2290 contains a buggy "glibc 2.3.2".
2292 The symptom of the bug is that everything crashes on startup, saying:
2293 dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
2295 Saying Y here changes the default value of the vdso32 boot
2296 option from 1 to 0, which turns off the 32-bit vDSO entirely.
2297 This works around the glibc bug but hurts performance.
2299 If unsure, say N: if you are compiling your own kernel, you
2300 are unlikely to be using a buggy version of glibc.
2303 prompt "vsyscall table for legacy applications"
2305 default LEGACY_VSYSCALL_XONLY
2307 Legacy user code that does not know how to find the vDSO expects
2308 to be able to issue three syscalls by calling fixed addresses in
2309 kernel space. Since this location is not randomized with ASLR,
2310 it can be used to assist security vulnerability exploitation.
2312 This setting can be changed at boot time via the kernel command
2313 line parameter vsyscall=[emulate|xonly|none]. Emulate mode
2314 is deprecated and can only be enabled using the kernel command
2317 On a system with recent enough glibc (2.14 or newer) and no
2318 static binaries, you can say None without a performance penalty
2319 to improve security.
2321 If unsure, select "Emulate execution only".
2323 config LEGACY_VSYSCALL_XONLY
2324 bool "Emulate execution only"
2326 The kernel traps and emulates calls into the fixed vsyscall
2327 address mapping and does not allow reads. This
2328 configuration is recommended when userspace might use the
2329 legacy vsyscall area but support for legacy binary
2330 instrumentation of legacy code is not needed. It mitigates
2331 certain uses of the vsyscall area as an ASLR-bypassing
2334 config LEGACY_VSYSCALL_NONE
2337 There will be no vsyscall mapping at all. This will
2338 eliminate any risk of ASLR bypass due to the vsyscall
2339 fixed address mapping. Attempts to use the vsyscalls
2340 will be reported to dmesg, so that either old or
2341 malicious userspace programs can be identified.
2346 bool "Built-in kernel command line"
2348 Allow for specifying boot arguments to the kernel at
2349 build time. On some systems (e.g. embedded ones), it is
2350 necessary or convenient to provide some or all of the
2351 kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
2352 to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
2354 To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
2355 set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
2356 boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
2358 Systems with fully functional boot loaders (i.e. non-embedded)
2359 should leave this option set to 'N'.
2362 string "Built-in kernel command string"
2363 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
2366 Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel
2367 image and used at boot time. If the boot loader provides a
2368 command line at boot time, it is appended to this string to
2369 form the full kernel command line, when the system boots.
2371 However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to
2372 change this behavior.
2374 In most cases, the command line (whether built-in or provided
2375 by the boot loader) should specify the device for the root
2378 config CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
2379 bool "Built-in command line overrides boot loader arguments"
2380 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL && CMDLINE != ""
2382 Set this option to 'Y' to have the kernel ignore the boot loader
2383 command line, and use ONLY the built-in command line.
2385 This is used to work around broken boot loaders. This should
2386 be set to 'N' under normal conditions.
2388 config MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL
2389 bool "Enable the LDT (local descriptor table)" if EXPERT
2392 Linux can allow user programs to install a per-process x86
2393 Local Descriptor Table (LDT) using the modify_ldt(2) system
2394 call. This is required to run 16-bit or segmented code such as
2395 DOSEMU or some Wine programs. It is also used by some very old
2396 threading libraries.
2398 Enabling this feature adds a small amount of overhead to
2399 context switches and increases the low-level kernel attack
2400 surface. Disabling it removes the modify_ldt(2) system call.
2402 Saying 'N' here may make sense for embedded or server kernels.
2404 config STRICT_SIGALTSTACK_SIZE
2405 bool "Enforce strict size checking for sigaltstack"
2406 depends on DYNAMIC_SIGFRAME
2408 For historical reasons MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant which became
2409 already too small with AVX512 support. Add a mechanism to
2410 enforce strict checking of the sigaltstack size against the
2411 real size of the FPU frame. This option enables the check
2412 by default. It can also be controlled via the kernel command
2413 line option 'strict_sas_size' independent of this config
2414 switch. Enabling it might break existing applications which
2415 allocate a too small sigaltstack but 'work' because they
2416 never get a signal delivered.
2418 Say 'N' unless you want to really enforce this check.

2630 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2631 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2632 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2633 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2635 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2636 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2638 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2639 machines with more than one CPU.
2641 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
2642 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.rst>

2647 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2648 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2650 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2651 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2652 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2653 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2655 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2656 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get

2696 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically

2698 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
2699 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2700 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2701 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2702 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2703 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2704 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2705 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

2713 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
2714 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
2715 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
2716 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
2717 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

2727 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
2728 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
2729 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

2831 You should say N unless you know you need this.
2834 bool "ISA bus support on modern systems" if EXPERT
2836 Expose ISA bus device drivers and options available for selection and
2837 configuration. Enable this option if your target machine has an ISA
2838 bus. ISA is an older system, displaced by PCI and newer bus
2839 architectures -- if your target machine is modern, it probably does
2840 not have an ISA bus.
2844 # x86_64 have no ISA slots, but can have ISA-style DMA.
2846 bool "ISA-style DMA support" if (X86_64 && EXPERT)
2849 Enables ISA-style DMA support for devices requiring such controllers.
2857 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
2858 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
2859 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
2860 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
2861 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
2864 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 support"
2866 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
2867 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
2868 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
2869 for other scx200_* drivers.
2871 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.
2873 config SCx200HR_TIMER
2874 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 27MHz High-Resolution Timer Support"
2878 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
2879 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
2880 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
2881 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
2882 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.
2885 bool "One Laptop Per Child support"
2893 Add support for detecting the unique features of the OLPC
2897 bool "OLPC XO-1 Power Management"
2898 depends on OLPC && MFD_CS5535=y && PM_SLEEP

2903 bool "OLPC XO-1 Real Time Clock"
2904 depends on OLPC_XO1_PM && RTC_DRV_CMOS
2906 Add support for the XO-1 real time clock, which can be used as a
2907 programmable wakeup source.
2910 bool "OLPC XO-1 SCI extras"
2911 depends on OLPC && OLPC_XO1_PM && GPIO_CS5535=y
2915 Add support for SCI-based features of the OLPC XO-1 laptop:
2916 - EC-driven system wakeups
2920 - AC adapter status updates
2921 - Battery status updates
2923 config OLPC_XO15_SCI
2924 bool "OLPC XO-1.5 SCI extras"
2925 depends on OLPC && ACPI
2928 Add support for SCI-based features of the OLPC XO-1.5 laptop:
2929 - EC-driven system wakeups
2930 - AC adapter status updates
2931 - Battery status updates
2934 bool "PCEngines ALIX System Support (LED setup)"
2937 This option enables system support for the PCEngines ALIX.
2938 At present this just sets up LEDs for GPIO control on
2939 ALIX2/3/6 boards. However, other system specific setup should
2942 Note: You must still enable the drivers for GPIO and LED support
2943 (GPIO_CS5535 & LEDS_GPIO) to actually use the LEDs
2945 Note: You have to set alix.force=1 for boards with Award BIOS.
2948 bool "Soekris Engineering net5501 System Support (LEDS, GPIO, etc)"
2951 This option enables system support for the Soekris Engineering net5501.
2954 bool "Traverse Technologies GEOS System Support (LEDS, GPIO, etc)"
2958 This option enables system support for the Traverse Technologies GEOS.
2961 bool "Technologic Systems TS-5500 platform support"

2995 Make IA32 emulation disabled by default. This prevents loading 32-bit
2996 processes and access to 32-bit syscalls. If unsure, leave it to its

3008 Include code to run binaries for the x32 native 32-bit ABI
3009 for 64-bit processors. An x32 process gets access to the
3010 full 64-bit register file and wide data path while leaving
3011 pointers at 32 bits for smaller memory footprint.
