Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro" architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards. People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

Selecting this option enables things like clock tree (common clock framework) and pincontrol which are needed by the LPSS peripheral drivers. config X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE bool "AMD ACPI2Platform devices support" depends on ACPI select COMMON_CLK select PINCTRL help Select to interpret AMD specific ACPI device to platform device such as I2C, UART, GPIO found on AMD Carrizo and later chipsets. I2C and UART depend on COMMON_CLK to set clock. GPIO driver is implemented under PINCTRL subsystem. config IOSF_MBI tristate "Intel SoC IOSF Sideband support for SoC platforms" depends on PCI help This option enables sideband register access support for Intel SoC platforms. On these platforms the IOSF sideband is used in lieu of MSR's for some register accesses, mostly but not limited to thermal and power. Drivers may query the availability of this device to determine if they need the sideband in order to work on these platforms. The sideband is available on the following SoC products. This list is not meant to be exclusive. - BayTrail - Braswell - Quark You should say Y if you are running a kernel on one of these SoC's. config IOSF_MBI_DEBUG bool "Enable IOSF sideband access through debugfs" depends on IOSF_MBI && DEBUG_FS help Select this option to expose the IOSF sideband access registers (MCR, MDR, MCRX) through debugfs to write and read register information from different units on the SoC. This is most useful for obtaining device state information for debug and analysis. As this is a general access mechanism, users of this option would have specific knowledge of the device they want to access. If you don't require the option or are in doubt, say N. config X86_RDC321X bool "RDC R-321x SoC" depends on X86_32 depends on X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM select M486 select X86_REBOOTFIXUPS help This option is needed for RDC R-321x system-on-chip, also known as R-8610-(G).

"ConneXt". The chip is used in place of the standard PC chipset, so all "standard" peripherals are missing. If this option is selected the kernel will still be able to boot on standard PC machines. config X86_32_IRIS tristate "Eurobraille/Iris poweroff module" depends on X86_32 help The Iris machines from EuroBraille do not have APM or ACPI support to shut themselves down properly. A special I/O sequence is needed to do so, which is what this module does at kernel shutdown. This is only for Iris machines from EuroBraille. If unused, say N. config SCHED_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER def_bool y prompt "Single-depth WCHAN output" depends on X86 help Calculate simpler /proc//wchan values. If this option is disabled then wchan values will recurse back to the caller function. This provides more accurate wchan values, at the expense of slightly more scheduling overhead. If in doubt, say "Y". menuconfig HYPERVISOR_GUEST bool "Linux guest support" help Say Y here to enable options for running Linux under various hyper- visors. This option enables basic hypervisor detection and platform setup. If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled, and Linux guest support won't be built in. if HYPERVISOR_GUEST config PARAVIRT bool "Enable paravirtualization code" depends on HAVE_STATIC_CALL help This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger. config PARAVIRT_XXL bool config PARAVIRT_DEBUG bool "paravirt-ops debugging" depends on PARAVIRT && DEBUG_KERNEL help Enable to debug paravirt_ops internals. Specifically, BUG if a paravirt_op is missing when it is called. config PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS bool "Paravirtualization layer for spinlocks" depends on PARAVIRT && SMP help Paravirtualized spinlocks allow a pvops backend to replace the spinlock implementation with something virtualization-friendly (for example, block the virtual CPU rather than spinning). It has a minimal impact on native kernels and gives a nice performance benefit on paravirtualized KVM / Xen kernels. If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y. config X86_HV_CALLBACK_VECTOR def_bool n source "arch/x86/xen/Kconfig" config KVM_GUEST bool "KVM Guest support (including kvmclock)" depends on PARAVIRT select PARAVIRT_CLOCK select ARCH_CPUIDLE_HALTPOLL select X86_HV_CALLBACK_VECTOR default y help This option enables various optimizations for running under the KVM hypervisor.

Time spent executing other tasks in parallel with the current vCPU is discounted from the vCPU power. To account for that, there can be a small performance impact. If in doubt, say N here. config PARAVIRT_CLOCK bool config JAILHOUSE_GUEST bool "Jailhouse non-root cell support" depends on X86_64 && PCI select X86_PM_TIMER help This option allows to run Linux as guest in a Jailhouse non-root cell. You can leave this option disabled if you only want to start Jailhouse and run Linux afterwards in the root cell. config ACRN_GUEST bool "ACRN Guest support" depends on X86_64 select X86_HV_CALLBACK_VECTOR help This option allows to run Linux as guest in the ACRN hypervisor. ACRN is a flexible, lightweight reference open-source hypervisor, built with real-time and safety-criticality in mind. It is built for embedded IOT with small footprint and real-time features.

This is recommended when threaded interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled. Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring down (vital) interrupt lines. Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be increased on these systems. config X86_MCE bool "Machine Check / overheating reporting" select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR default y help Machine Check support allows the processor to notify the kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, data corruption).

Some very old versions of X and/or vbetool require this option for user mode setting. Similarly, DOSEMU will use it if available to accelerate real mode DOS programs. However, any recent version of DOSEMU, X, or vbetool should be fully functional even without kernel VM86 support, as they will all fall back to software emulation. Nevertheless, if you are using a 16-bit DOS program where 16-bit performance matters, vm86 mode might be faster than emulation and you might want to enable this option. Note that any app that works on a 64-bit kernel is unlikely to need this option, as 64-bit kernels don't, and can't, support V8086 mode. This option is also unrelated to 16-bit protected mode and is not needed to run most 16-bit programs under Wine.

Disabling it is roughly equivalent to booting with vsyscall=none, except that it will also disable the helpful warning if a program tries to use a vsyscall. With this option set to N, offending programs will just segfault, citing addresses of the form 0xffffffffff600?00. This option is required by many programs built before 2013, and care should be used even with newer programs if set to N.

Legacy IOPL support is an overbroad mechanism which allows user space aside of accessing all 65536 I/O ports also to disable interrupts. To gain this access the caller needs CAP_SYS_RAWIO capabilities and permission from potentially active security modules. The emulation restricts the functionality of the syscall to only allowing the full range I/O port access, but prevents the ability to disable interrupts from user space which would be granted if the hardware IOPL mechanism would be used. config TOSHIBA tristate "Toshiba Laptop support" depends on X86_32 help This adds a driver to safely access the System Management Mode of the CPU on Toshiba portables with a genuine Toshiba BIOS.

However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called "high memory". If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB" split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as possible. If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then answer "4GB" here. If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on. PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here, then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE! The actual amount of total physical memory will either be auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option such as "mem=256M".

Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you intend to use this kernel on different machines. More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor emulation can be found in .

This is most useful if you have a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar control registers on other processors can be easily supported as well: The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

If the kernel is not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where it has been loaded by the boot loader. The only exception is if it is loaded below the above physical address, in which case it will relocate itself there. In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy. So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst for more details about crash dumps. Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it is present because there are users out there who continue to use vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the line. Don't change this unless you know what you are doing. config RELOCATABLE bool "Build a relocatable kernel" default y help This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB. The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger, but are discarded at runtime. One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel must live at a different physical address than the primary kernel. Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is used as the minimum location. config RANDOMIZE_BASE bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image (KASLR)" depends on RELOCATABLE default y help In support of Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR), this randomizes the physical address at which the kernel image is decompressed and the virtual address where the kernel image is mapped, as a security feature that deters exploit attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel code internals. On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are randomized separately. The physical address will be anywhere between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB. On 32-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are randomized together. They will be randomized from 16MB up to 512MB (8 bits of entropy). Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is supported. If RDTSC is supported, its value is mixed into the entropy pool as well. If neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are supported, then entropy is read from the i8254 timer. The usable entropy is limited by the kernel being built using 2GB addressing, and that PHYSICAL_ALIGN must be at a minimum of 2MB. As a result, only 10 bits of entropy are theoretically possible, but the implementations are further limited due to memory layouts.

Kernel is compiled for an address which meets above alignment restriction. If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest address aligned to above value and run from there. If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time load address and decompress itself to the address it has been compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting above alignment restrictions. On 32-bit this value must be a multiple of 0x2000. On 64-bit this value must be a multiple of 0x200000.

On some systems (e.g. embedded ones), it is necessary or convenient to provide some or all of the kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is, to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.) To compile command line arguments into the kernel, set this option to 'Y', then fill in the boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE. Systems with fully functional boot loaders (i.e. non-embedded) should leave this option set to 'N'. config CMDLINE string "Built-in kernel command string" depends on CMDLINE_BOOL default "" help Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel image and used at boot time. If the boot loader provides a command line at boot time, it is appended to this string to form the full kernel command line, when the system boots. However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to change this behavior.

Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, "weird" problems: 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is enabled. 2) pass the "idle=poll" option to the kernel 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass the "no387" option to the kernel 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling all but the first 4 MB of RAM) 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM 10) install a better fan for the CPU 11) exchange RAM chips 12) exchange the motherboard. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called apm. if APM config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND" help This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug. config APM_DO_ENABLE bool "Enable PM at boot time" help Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without this feature. config APM_CPU_IDLE depends on CPU_IDLE bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle" help Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop. On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU, this option does nothing.) config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK bool "Enable console blanking using APM" help Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console, especially if you are using gpm. config APM_ALLOW_INTS bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls" help Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N. endif # APM source "drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig" source "drivers/cpuidle/Kconfig" source "drivers/idle/Kconfig" endmenu menu "Bus options (PCI etc.)" choice prompt "PCI access mode" depends on X86_32 && PCI default PCI_GOANY help On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS. With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used, if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used. If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't work.

This allows PCI hotplug to work on systems with the CNB20LE chipset which do not have ACPI. There's no public spec for this chipset, and this functionality is known to be incomplete. You should say N unless you know you need this. config ISA_BUS bool "ISA bus support on modern systems" if EXPERT help Expose ISA bus device drivers and options available for selection and configuration. Enable this option if your target machine has an ISA bus. ISA is an older system, displaced by PCI and newer bus architectures -- if your target machine is modern, it probably does not have an ISA bus.

ISA is the name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI; newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N. config SCx200 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 support" help This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's (now AMD's) Geode processors.
