4 The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as
5 implemented by the __setup(), core_param() and module_param() macros
6 and sorted into English Dictionary order (defined as ignoring all
7 punctuation and sorting digits before letters in a case insensitive
8 manner), and with descriptions where known.
10 The kernel parses parameters from the kernel command line up to "--";
11 if it doesn't recognize a parameter and it doesn't contain a '.', the
12 parameter gets passed to init: parameters with '=' go into init's
13 environment, others are passed as command line arguments to init.
14 Everything after "--" is passed as an argument to init.
16 Module parameters can be specified in two ways: via the kernel command
17 line with a module name prefix, or via modprobe, e.g.:
19 (kernel command line) usbcore.blinkenlights=1
20 (modprobe command line) modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
22 Parameters for modules which are built into the kernel need to be
23 specified on the kernel command line. modprobe looks through the
24 kernel command line (/proc/cmdline) and collects module parameters
25 when it loads a module, so the kernel command line can be used for
28 Hyphens (dashes) and underscores are equivalent in parameter names, so
29 log_buf_len=1M print-fatal-signals=1
30 can also be entered as
31 log-buf-len=1M print_fatal_signals=1
33 Double-quotes can be used to protect spaces in values, e.g.:
34 param="spaces in here"
36 This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
37 "modinfo -p ${modulename}" shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
38 module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
39 reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
40 parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
41 "echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}".
43 The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were
44 enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at
45 the beginning of each description states the restrictions within which a

132 Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt .
133 X86 Either 32-bit or 64-bit x86 (same as X86-32+X86-64)
134 XEN Xen support is enabled
136 In addition, the following text indicates that the option:
138 BUGS= Relates to possible processor bugs on the said processor.
139 KNL Is a kernel start-up parameter.
140 BOOT Is a boot loader parameter.
142 Parameters denoted with BOOT are actually interpreted by the boot
143 loader, and have no meaning to the kernel directly.
144 Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme
145 need or coordination with <Documentation/x86/boot.txt>.
147 There are also arch-specific kernel-parameters not documented here.
148 See for example <Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt>.
150 Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that
151 a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
152 be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
153 it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs
154 running once the system is up.
156 The number of kernel parameters is not limited, but the length of the
157 complete command line (parameters including spaces etc.) is limited to
158 a fixed number of characters. This limit depends on the architecture
159 and is between 256 and 4096 characters. It is defined in the file
160 ./include/asm/setup.h as COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
162 Finally, the [KMG] suffix is commonly described after a number of kernel
163 parameter values. These 'K', 'M', and 'G' letters represent the _binary_
164 multipliers 'Kilo', 'Mega', and 'Giga', equalling 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30
165 bytes respectively. Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted.
168 acpi= [HW,ACPI,X86,ARM64]
169 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
170 Format: { force | off | strict | noirq | rsdt }
171 force -- enable ACPI if default was off
172 off -- disable ACPI if default was on
173 noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
174 strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
175 strictly ACPI specification compliant.
176 rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
177 copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
178 For ARM64, ONLY "acpi=off" or "acpi=force" are available
180 See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
182 acpi_apic_instance= [ACPI, IOAPIC]
184 2: use 2nd APIC table, if available
185 1,0: use 1st APIC table
188 acpi_backlight= [HW,ACPI]
189 acpi_backlight=vendor
191 If set to vendor, prefer vendor specific driver
192 (e.g. thinkpad_acpi, sony_acpi, etc.) instead
193 of the ACPI video.ko driver.
195 acpica_no_return_repair [HW, ACPI]
196 Disable AML predefined validation mechanism
197 This mechanism can repair the evaluation result to make
198 the return objects more ACPI specification compliant.
199 This option is useful for developers to identify the
200 root cause of an AML interpreter issue when the issue
201 has something to do with the repair mechanism.
203 acpi.debug_layer= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
204 acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
206 CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
207 debug output. Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
208 _COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
209 #define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
210 Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
211 ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
212 ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
213 The debug_level mask defaults to "info". See
214 Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for more information about
215 debug layers and levels.
217 Enable processor driver info messages:
218 acpi.debug_layer=0x20000000
219 Enable PCI/PCI interrupt routing info messages:
220 acpi.debug_layer=0x400000
221 Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
222 object while interpreting AML:
223 acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
224 Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
225 acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
227 Some values produce so much output that the system is
228 unusable. The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
229 if you need to capture more output.
231 acpi_enforce_resources= [ACPI]
232 { strict | lax | no }
233 Check for resource conflicts between native drivers
234 and ACPI OperationRegions (SystemIO and SystemMemory
235 only). IO ports and memory declared in ACPI might be
236 used by the ACPI subsystem in arbitrary AML code and
237 can interfere with legacy drivers.
238 strict (default): access to resources claimed by ACPI
239 is denied; legacy drivers trying to access reserved
240 resources will fail to bind to device using them.
241 lax: access to resources claimed by ACPI is allowed;
242 legacy drivers trying to access reserved resources
243 will bind successfully but a warning message is logged.
244 no: ACPI OperationRegions are not marked as reserved,
245 no further checks are performed.
247 acpi_force_table_verification [HW,ACPI]
248 Enable table checksum verification during early stage.
249 By default, this is disabled due to x86 early mapping
252 acpi_irq_balance [HW,ACPI]
253 ACPI will balance active IRQs
256 acpi_irq_nobalance [HW,ACPI]
257 ACPI will not move active IRQs (default)
260 acpi_irq_isa= [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, mark listed IRQs used by ISA
261 Format: <irq>,<irq>...
263 acpi_irq_pci= [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, clear listed IRQs for
265 Format: <irq>,<irq>...
267 acpi_no_auto_serialize [HW,ACPI]
268 Disable auto-serialization of AML methods
269 AML control methods that contain the opcodes to create
270 named objects will be marked as "Serialized" by the
271 auto-serialization feature.
272 This feature is enabled by default.
273 This option allows to turn off the feature.
275 acpi_no_memhotplug [ACPI] Disable memory hotplug. Useful for kdump
278 acpi_no_static_ssdt [HW,ACPI]
279 Disable installation of static SSDTs at early boot time
280 By default, SSDTs contained in the RSDT/XSDT will be
281 installed automatically and they will appear under
282 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.
283 This option turns off this feature.
284 Note that specifying this option does not affect
285 dynamic table installation which will install SSDT
286 tables to /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic.
288 acpi_rsdp= [ACPI,EFI,KEXEC]
289 Pass the RSDP address to the kernel, mostly used
290 on machines running EFI runtime service to boot the
291 second kernel for kdump.
293 acpi_os_name= [HW,ACPI] Tell ACPI BIOS the name of the OS
294 Format: To spoof as Windows 98: ="Microsoft Windows"
296 acpi_osi= [HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
297 acpi_osi="string1" # add string1
298 acpi_osi="!string2" # remove string2
299 acpi_osi=!* # remove all strings
300 acpi_osi=! # disable all built-in OS vendor
302 acpi_osi= # disable all strings
304 'acpi_osi=!' can be used in combination with single or
305 multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific OS
306 vendor string(s). Note that such command can only
307 affect the default state of the OS vendor strings, thus
308 it cannot affect the default state of the feature group
309 strings and the current state of the OS vendor strings,
310 specifying it multiple times through kernel command line
311 is meaningless. This command is useful when one do not
312 care about the state of the feature group strings which
313 should be controlled by the OSPM.
315 1. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is equivalent
316 to 'acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!', they all
317 can make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
319 'acpi_osi=' cannot be used in combination with other
320 'acpi_osi=' command lines, the _OSI method will not
321 exist in the ACPI namespace. NOTE that such command can
322 only affect the _OSI support state, thus specifying it
323 multiple times through kernel command line is also
326 1. 'acpi_osi=' can make 'CondRefOf(_OSI, Local1)'
329 'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or
330 multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific
331 string(s). Note that such command can affect the
332 current state of both the OS vendor strings and the
333 feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times
334 through kernel command line is meaningful. But it may
335 still not able to affect the final state of a string if
336 there are quirks related to this string. This command
337 is useful when one want to control the state of the
338 feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to
341 1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make
342 '_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE.
343 2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make
344 '_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE.
345 3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is
347 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"'
349 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!',
350 they all will make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
353 Override the pmtimer bug detection: force the kernel
354 to assume that this machine's pmtimer latches its value
355 and always returns good values.
357 acpi_sci= [HW,ACPI] ACPI System Control Interrupt trigger mode
358 Format: { level | edge | high | low }
360 acpi_skip_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
361 Recognize and ignore IRQ0/pin2 Interrupt Override.
362 For broken nForce2 BIOS resulting in XT-PIC timer.
364 acpi_sleep= [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
365 Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
366 old_ordering, nonvs, sci_force_enable }
367 See Documentation/power/video.txt for information on
369 s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
370 as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
371 s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
372 used during resume from hibernation.
373 old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
374 control method, with respect to putting devices into
375 low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
376 of _PTS is used by default).
377 nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
378 ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
379 sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
380 on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
381 but some broken systems don't work without it).
383 acpi_use_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
384 Use timer override. For some broken Nvidia NF5 boards
385 that require a timer override, but don't have HPET
387 add_efi_memmap [EFI; X86] Include EFI memory map in
388 kernel's map of available physical RAM.
391 { off | try_unsupported }
392 off: disable AGP support
393 try_unsupported: try to drive unsupported chipsets
394 (may crash computer or cause data corruption)
397 See Documentation/sound/alsa/alsa-parameters.txt
400 Allow the default userspace alignment fault handler
401 behaviour to be specified. Bit 0 enables warnings,
402 bit 1 enables fixups, and bit 2 sends a segfault.
404 align_va_addr= [X86-64]
405 Align virtual addresses by clearing slice [14:12] when
406 allocating a VMA at process creation time. This option
407 gives you up to 3% performance improvement on AMD F15h
408 machines (where it is enabled by default) for a
409 CPU-intensive style benchmark, and it can vary highly in
410 a microbenchmark depending on workload and compiler.
412 32: only for 32-bit processes
413 64: only for 64-bit processes
414 on: enable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
415 off: disable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
417 alloc_snapshot [FTRACE]
418 Allocate the ftrace snapshot buffer on boot up when the
419 main buffer is allocated. This is handy if debugging
420 and you need to use tracing_snapshot() on boot up, and
421 do not want to use tracing_snapshot_alloc() as it needs
422 to be done where GFP_KERNEL allocations are allowed.
424 amd_iommu= [HW,X86-64]
425 Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
427 fullflush - enable flushing of IO/TLB entries when
428 they are unmapped. Otherwise they are
429 flushed before they will be reused, which
431 off - do not initialize any AMD IOMMU found in
433 force_isolation - Force device isolation for all
434 devices. The IOMMU driver is not
435 allowed anymore to lift isolation
436 requirements as needed. This option
437 does not override iommu=pt
439 amd_iommu_dump= [HW,X86-64]
440 Enable AMD IOMMU driver option to dump the ACPI table
441 for AMD IOMMU. With this option enabled, AMD IOMMU
442 driver will print ACPI tables for AMD IOMMU during
443 IOMMU initialization.
445 amijoy.map= [HW,JOY] Amiga joystick support
446 Map of devices attached to JOY0DAT and JOY1DAT
448 See also Documentation/input/joystick.txt
450 analog.map= [HW,JOY] Analog joystick and gamepad support
451 Specifies type or capabilities of an analog joystick
452 connected to one of 16 gameports
453 Format: <type1>,<type2>,..<type16>
456 Power management functions (SPARCstation-4/5 + deriv.)
458 Disable APC CPU standby support. SPARCstation-Fox does
459 not play well with APC CPU idle - disable it if you have
460 APC and your system crashes randomly.
462 apic= [APIC,X86-32] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
463 Change the output verbosity whilst booting
464 Format: { quiet (default) | verbose | debug }
465 Change the amount of debugging information output
466 when initialising the APIC and IO-APIC components.
469 See Documentation/networking/ipv6.txt.
471 show_lapic= [APIC,X86] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
472 Limit apic dumping. The parameter defines the maximal
473 number of local apics being dumped. Also it is possible
474 to set it to "all" by meaning -- no limit here.
475 Format: { 1 (default) | 2 | ... | all }.
476 The parameter valid if only apic=debug or
477 apic=verbose is specified.
478 Example: apic=debug show_lapic=all

508 Format: { "0" | "1" } (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
509 0 - kernel audit is disabled and can not be enabled
510 until the next reboot
511 unset - kernel audit is initialized but disabled and
512 will be fully enabled by the userspace auditd.
513 1 - kernel audit is initialized and partially enabled,
514 storing at most audit_backlog_limit messages in
515 RAM until it is fully enabled by the userspace

557 bulk_remove=off [PPC] This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
558 firmware feature for flushing multiple hpte entries
561 c101= [NET] Moxa C101 synchronous serial card
563 cachesize= [BUGS=X86-32] Override level 2 CPU cache size detection.
564 Sometimes CPU hardware bugs make them report the cache
565 size incorrectly. The kernel will attempt work arounds
566 to fix known problems, but for some CPUs it is not
567 possible to determine what the correct size should be.
568 This option provides an override for these situations.

582 See Documentation/s390/CommonIO for details.
584 cgroup_disable= [KNL] Disable a particular controller
585 Format: {name of the controller(s) to disable}
586 The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
587 - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in
589 - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable
591 {Currently only "memory" controller deal with this and
592 cut the overhead, others just disable the usage. So
593 only cgroup_disable=memory is actually worthy}
595 checkreqprot [SELINUX] Set initial checkreqprot flag value.
596 Format: { "0" | "1" }
597 See security/selinux/Kconfig help text.

609 Prevents the clock framework from automatically gating
610 clocks that have not been explicitly enabled by a Linux
611 device driver but are enabled in hardware at reset or
612 by the bootloader/firmware. Note that this does not
613 force such clocks to be always-on nor does it reserve
614 those clocks in any way. This parameter is useful for
615 debug and development, but should not be needed on a
616 platform with proper driver support. For more
617 information, see Documentation/clk.txt.

649 numbers. Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
650 stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
652 Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
653 or using the feature without checking anything
654 will still see it. This just prevents it from
655 being used by the kernel or shown in /proc/cpuinfo.
656 Also note the kernel might malfunction if you disable

719 Start an early, polled-mode console on the 8250/16550
720 UART at the specified I/O port or MMIO address,
721 switching to the matching ttyS device later.
722 MMIO inter-register address stride is either 8-bit
723 (mmio) or 32-bit (mmio32).
724 If none of [io|mmio|mmio32], <addr> is assumed to be
725 equivalent to 'mmio'. 'options' are specified in the
726 same format described for ttyS above; if unspecified,
727 the h/w is not re-initialized.

759 crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]]
760 [KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel'
761 upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical
762 memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel
763 image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset
764 is selected automatically. Check
765 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for further details.
767 crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset]
768 [KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory
769 in the running system. The syntax of range is
770 start-[end] where start and end are both
771 a memory unit (amount[KMG]). See also
772 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for an example.
774 crashkernel=size[KMG],high
775 [KNL, x86_64] range could be above 4G. Allow kernel
776 to allocate physical memory region from top, so could
777 be above 4G if system have more than 4G ram installed.
778 Otherwise memory region will be allocated below 4G, if
780 It will be ignored if crashkernel=X is specified.
781 crashkernel=size[KMG],low
782 [KNL, x86_64] range under 4G. When crashkernel=X,high
783 is passed, kernel could allocate physical memory region
784 above 4G, that cause second kernel crash on system
785 that require some amount of low memory, e.g. swiotlb
786 requires at least 64M+32K low memory. Kernel would
787 try to allocate 72M below 4G automatically.
788 This one let user to specify own low range under 4G
789 for second kernel instead.
790 0: to disable low allocation.
791 It will be ignored when crashkernel=X,high is not used

826 [KNL] Disable object debugging
828 debug_guardpage_minorder=
829 [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this
830 parameter allows control of the order of pages that will
831 be intentionally kept free (and hence protected) by the
832 buddy allocator. Bigger value increase the probability
833 of catching random memory corruption, but reduce the
834 amount of memory for normal system use. The maximum
835 possible value is MAX_ORDER/2. Setting this parameter
836 to 1 or 2 should be enough to identify most random
837 memory corruption problems caused by bugs in kernel or
838 driver code when a CPU writes to (or reads from) a
839 random memory location. Note that there exists a class
840 of memory corruptions problems caused by buggy H/W or
841 F/W or by drivers badly programing DMA (basically when
842 memory is written at bus level and the CPU MMU is
843 bypassed) which are not detectable by
844 CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, hence this option will not help
845 tracking down these problems.
848 [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this
849 parameter enables the feature at boot time. In
850 default, it is disabled. We can avoid allocating huge
851 chunk of memory for debug pagealloc if we don't enable
852 it at boot time and the system will work mostly same
853 with the kernel built without CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

876 disable_cpu_apicid= [X86,APIC,SMP]
878 The number of initial APIC ID for the
879 corresponding CPU to be disabled at boot,
880 mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to
881 disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without
882 causing system reset or hang due to sending

886 Disable Dynamic DMA Window support. Use this if
887 to workaround buggy firmware.
890 See Documentation/networking/ipv6.txt.
892 disable_mtrr_cleanup [X86]
893 The kernel tries to adjust MTRR layout from continuous
894 to discrete, to make X server driver able to add WB
895 entry later. This parameter disables that.
897 disable_mtrr_trim [X86, Intel and AMD only]
898 By default the kernel will trim any uncacheable
899 memory out of your available memory pool based on
900 MTRR settings. This parameter disables that behavior,
901 possibly causing your machine to run very slowly.
903 disable_timer_pin_1 [X86]
904 Disable PIN 1 of APIC timer
905 Can be useful to work around chipset bugs.
907 dma_debug=off If the kernel is compiled with DMA_API_DEBUG support,
908 this option disables the debugging code at boot.
910 dma_debug_entries=<number>
911 This option allows to tune the number of preallocated
912 entries for DMA-API debugging code. One entry is
913 required per DMA-API allocation. Use this if the
914 DMA-API debugging code disables itself because the
915 architectural default is too low.
917 dma_debug_driver=<driver_name>
918 With this option the DMA-API debugging driver
919 filter feature can be enabled at boot time. Just
920 pass the driver to filter for as the parameter.
921 The filter can be disabled or changed to another
922 driver later using sysfs.
924 drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<file>
925 Broken monitors, graphic adapters and KVMs may
926 send no or incorrect EDID data sets. This parameter
927 allows to specify an EDID data set in the
928 /lib/firmware directory that is used instead.
929 Generic built-in EDID data sets are used, if one of
930 edid/1024x768.bin, edid/1280x1024.bin,
931 edid/1680x1050.bin, or edid/1920x1080.bin is given
932 and no file with the same name exists. Details and
933 instructions how to build your own EDID data are
934 available in Documentation/EDID/HOWTO.txt. An EDID
935 data set will only be used for a particular connector,
936 if its name and a colon are prepended to the EDID

1278 hugepagesz= [HW,IA-64,PPC,X86-64] The size of the HugeTLB pages.
1279 On x86-64 and powerpc, this option can be specified
1280 multiple times interleaved with hugepages= to reserve
1281 huge pages of different sizes. Valid pages sizes on
1282 x86-64 are 2M (when the CPU supports "pse") and 1G
1283 (when the CPU supports the "pdpe1gb" cpuinfo flag).
1285 hvc_iucv= [S390] Number of z/VM IUCV hypervisor console (HVC)
1286 terminal devices. Valid values: 0..8

1338 i915.invert_brightness=
1339 [DRM] Invert the sense of the variable that is used to
1340 set the brightness of the panel backlight. Normally a
1341 brightness value of 0 indicates backlight switched off,
1342 and the maximum of the brightness value sets the backlight
1343 to maximum brightness. If this parameter is set to 0
1344 (default) and the machine requires it, or this parameter
1345 is set to 1, a brightness value of 0 sets the backlight
1346 to maximum brightness, and the maximum of the brightness
1347 value switches the backlight off.
1348 -1 -- never invert brightness

1363 Probe mask for legacy ISA IDE ports. Depending on
1364 platform up to 6 ports are supported, enabled by
1365 setting corresponding bits in the mask to 1. The
1366 default value is 0x0, which has a special meaning.
1367 On systems that have PCI, it triggers scanning the
1368 PCI bus for the first and the second port, which
1369 are then probed. On systems without PCI the value
1370 of 0x0 enables probing the two first ports as if it

1374 Claim all unknown PCI IDE storage controllers.
1377 Format: idle=poll, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
1378 Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly
1379 improve the performance of waking up a idle CPU, but
1380 will use a lot of power and make the system run hot.
1382 idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle.
1383 In such case C2/C3 won't be used again.
1384 idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states
1386 ignore_loglevel [KNL]
1387 Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/
1388 kernel messages to the console. Useful for debugging.
1389 We also add it as printk module parameter, so users
1390 could change it dynamically, usually by
1391 /sys/module/printk/parameters/ignore_loglevel.
1393 ihash_entries= [KNL]
1394 Set number of hash buckets for inode cache.
1396 ima_appraise= [IMA] appraise integrity measurements

1409 The list of supported hash algorithms is defined
1410 in crypto/hash_info.h.
1413 Load a policy which meets the needs of the Trusted
1414 Computing Base. This means IMA will measure all
1415 programs exec'd, files mmap'd for exec, and all files
1416 opened for read by uid=0.
1419 Select one of defined IMA measurements template formats.

1469 intel_iommu= [DMAR] Intel IOMMU driver (DMAR) option
1471 Enable intel iommu driver.
1473 Disable intel iommu driver.
1474 igfx_off [Default Off]
1475 By default, gfx is mapped as normal device. If a gfx
1476 device has a dedicated DMAR unit, the DMAR unit is
1477 bypassed by not enabling DMAR with this option. In
1478 this case, gfx device will use physical address for

1485 for translation below 32-bit and if not available
1486 then look in the higher range.
1487 strict [Default Off]
1488 With this option on every unmap_single operation will
1489 result in a hardware IOTLB flush operation as opposed
1490 to batching them for performance.
1491 sp_off [Default Off]
1492 By default, super page will be supported if Intel IOMMU
1493 has the capability. With this option, super page will

1496 By default, extended context tables will be supported if
1497 the hardware advertises that it has support both for the
1498 extended tables themselves, and also PASID support. With
1499 this option set, extended tables will not be used even
1500 on hardware which claims to support them.
1502 intel_idle.max_cstate= [KNL,HW,ACPI,X86]
1503 0 disables intel_idle and fall back on acpi_idle.
1504 1 to 6 specify maximum depth of C-state.
1508 Do not enable intel_pstate as the default
1509 scaling driver for the supported processors
1511 Enable intel_pstate on systems that prohibit it by default
1512 in favor of acpi-cpufreq. Forcing the intel_pstate driver
1513 instead of acpi-cpufreq may disable platform features, such
1514 as thermal controls and power capping, that rely on ACPI
1515 P-States information being indicated to OSPM and therefore
1516 should be used with caution. This option does not work with
1517 processors that aren't supported by the intel_pstate driver
1518 or on platforms that use pcc-cpufreq instead of acpi-cpufreq.
1520 Do not enable hardware P state control (HWP)
1523 Only load intel_pstate on systems which support
1524 hardware P state control (HWP) if available.

1584 isolcpus= [KNL,SMP] Isolate CPUs from the general scheduler.
1586 <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
1588 <cpu number>-<cpu number>
1589 (must be a positive range in ascending order)
1591 <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>
1593 This option can be used to specify one or more CPUs
1594 to isolate from the general SMP balancing and scheduling
1595 algorithms. You can move a process onto or off an
1596 "isolated" CPU via the CPU affinity syscalls or cpuset.
1597 <cpu number> begins at 0 and the maximum value is
1598 "number of CPUs in system - 1".
1600 This option is the preferred way to isolate CPUs. The
1601 alternative -- manually setting the CPU mask of all
1602 tasks in the system -- can cause problems and
1603 suboptimal load balancer performance.
1607 ivrs_ioapic [HW,X86_64]
1608 Provide an override to the IOAPIC-ID<->DEVICE-ID
1609 mapping provided in the IVRS ACPI table. For
1610 example, to map IOAPIC-ID decimal 10 to
1611 PCI device 00:14.0 write the parameter as:
1612 ivrs_ioapic[10]=00:14.0
1614 ivrs_hpet [HW,X86_64]
1615 Provide an override to the HPET-ID<->DEVICE-ID
1616 mapping provided in the IVRS ACPI table. For
1617 example, to map HPET-ID decimal 0 to
1618 PCI device 00:14.0 write the parameter as:

1626 (Address Space Layout Randomization) if built into
1627 the kernel. When CONFIG_HIBERNATION is selected,
1628 kASLR is disabled by default. When kASLR is enabled,
1629 hibernation will be disabled.
1633 kernelcore=nn[KMG] [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter
1634 specifies the amount of memory usable by the kernel
1635 for non-movable allocations. The requested amount is
1636 spread evenly throughout all nodes in the system. The
1637 remaining memory in each node is used for Movable
1638 pages. In the event, a node is too small to have both
1639 kernelcore and Movable pages, kernelcore pages will
1640 take priority and other nodes will have a larger number
1641 of Movable pages. The Movable zone is used for the
1642 allocation of pages that may be reclaimed or moved
1643 by the page migration subsystem. This means that
1644 HugeTLB pages may not be allocated from this zone.
1645 Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem still
1646 use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
1647 zone if it does not.
1649 kgdbdbgp= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
1650 Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]
1651 The controller # is the number of the ehci usb debug
1652 port as it is probed via PCI. The poll interval is
1653 optional and is the number seconds in between
1654 each poll cycle to the debug port in case you need
1655 the functionality for interrupting the kernel with
1656 gdb or control-c on the dbgp connection. When
1657 not using this parameter you use sysrq-g to break into
1658 the kernel debugger.
1660 kgdboc= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over consoles.
1661 Requires a tty driver that supports console polling,
1662 or a supported polling keyboard driver (non-usb).

1769 configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.
1771 If only DEVICE is omitted, the parameter applies to
1772 the port and all links and devices behind it. DEVICE
1773 number of 0 either selects the first device or the
1774 first fan-out link behind PMP device. It does not
1775 select the host link. DEVICE number of 15 selects the
1776 host link and device attached to it.
1778 The VAL specifies the configuration to force. As long
1779 as there's no ambiguity shortcut notation is allowed.
1780 For example, both 1.5 and 1.5G would work for 1.5Gbps.
1781 The following configurations can be forced.
1783 * Cable type: 40c, 80c, short40c, unk, ign or sata.
1784 Any ID with matching PORT is used.
1786 * SATA link speed limit: 1.5Gbps or 3.0Gbps.
1788 * Transfer mode: pio[0-7], mwdma[0-4] and udma[0-7].

1869 logibm.irq= [HW,MOUSE] Logitech Bus Mouse Driver
1872 loglevel= All Kernel Messages with a loglevel smaller than the
1873 console loglevel will be printed to the console. It can
1874 also be changed with klogd or other programs. The
1875 loglevels are defined as follows:
1877 0 (KERN_EMERG) system is unusable
1878 1 (KERN_ALERT) action must be taken immediately
1879 2 (KERN_CRIT) critical conditions
1880 3 (KERN_ERR) error conditions

1886 log_buf_len=n[KMG] Sets the size of the printk ring buffer,
1887 in bytes. n must be a power of two and greater
1888 than the minimal size. The minimal size is defined
1889 by LOG_BUF_SHIFT kernel config parameter. There is
1890 also CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT config parameter
1891 that allows to increase the default size depending on
1892 the number of CPUs. See init/Kconfig for more details.
1894 logo.nologo [FB] Disables display of the built-in Linux logo.
1895 This may be used to provide more screen space for
1896 kernel log messages and is useful when debugging
1897 kernel boot problems.
1899 lp=0 [LP] Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
1900 lp=port[,port...] lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
1901 lp=reset first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
1902 lp=auto printer driver. 'lp=reset' (which can be
1903 specified in addition to the ports) causes
1904 attached printers to be reset. Using
1905 lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
1906 to associate lp devices with, starting with
1907 lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
1908 that lp device, or a parport name such as
1909 'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
1910 port specification list means that device IDs
1911 from each port should be examined, to see if
1912 an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached; if
1913 so, the driver will manage that printer.
1914 See also header of drivers/char/lp.c.
1917 Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
1918 time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
1919 CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
1920 the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
1921 autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
1922 on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
1923 which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
1924 significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
1925 will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
1926 unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
1927 unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
1931 Format: <io>,<irq>,<dma>
1933 machvec= [IA-64] Force the use of a particular machine-vector
1934 (machvec) in a generic kernel.
1935 Example: machvec=hpzx1_swiotlb
1937 machtype= [Loongson] Share the same kernel image file between different
1939 Example: machtype=lemote-yeeloong-2f-7inch
1941 max_addr=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory greater
1942 than or equal to this physical address is ignored.
1944 maxcpus= [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
1945 should make use of. maxcpus=n : n >= 0 limits the
1946 kernel to using 'n' processors. n=0 is a special case,
1947 it is equivalent to "nosmp", which also disables
1950 max_loop= [LOOP] The number of loop block devices that get
1951 (loop.max_loop) unconditionally pre-created at init time. The default
1952 number is configured by BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT. Instead
1953 of statically allocating a predefined number, loop
1954 devices can be requested on-demand with the
1955 /dev/loop-control interface.
1957 mce [X86-32] Machine Check Exception
1959 mce=option [X86-64] See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt
1961 md= [HW] RAID subsystems devices and level
1962 See Documentation/md.txt.
1965 Format: <first>,<last>
1966 Specifies range of consoles to be captured by the MDA.
1968 mem=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Force usage of a specific amount of memory
1969 Amount of memory to be used when the kernel is not able
1970 to see the whole system memory or for test.
1971 [X86] Work as limiting max address. Use together
1972 with memmap= to avoid physical address space collisions.
1973 Without memmap= PCI devices could be placed at addresses
1974 belonging to unused RAM.
1976 mem=nopentium [BUGS=X86-32] Disable usage of 4MB pages for kernel
1980 [KNL,SH] Allow user to override the default size for
1981 per-device physically contiguous DMA buffers.
1983 memmap=exactmap [KNL,X86] Enable setting of an exact
1984 E820 memory map, as specified by the user.
1985 Such memmap=exactmap lines can be constructed based on
1986 BIOS output or other requirements. See the memmap=nn@ss
1989 memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
1990 [KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory.
1991 Region of memory to be used is from ss to ss+nn.
1993 memmap=nn[KMG]#ss[KMG]
1994 [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as ACPI data.
1995 Region of memory to be marked is from ss to ss+nn.
1997 memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
1998 [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as reserved.
1999 Region of memory to be reserved is from ss to ss+nn.
2000 Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
2001 memmap=64K$0x18690000

2005 memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]
2006 [KNL,X86] Mark specific memory as protected.
2007 Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
2008 The memory region may be marked as e820 type 12 (0xc)
2009 and is NVDIMM or ADR memory.
2011 memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
2012 Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
2013 memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
2014 Setting this option will scan the memory
2015 looking for corruption. Enabling this will
2016 both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
2017 from using the memory being corrupted.
2018 However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
2019 repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
2020 affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
2021 to prevent the kernel from using that memory.
2023 memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
2024 By default it checks for corruption in the low
2025 64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
2026 use. Use this parameter to scan for
2027 corruption in more or less memory.
2029 memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
2030 By default it checks for corruption every 60
2031 seconds. Use this parameter to check at some
2032 other rate. 0 disables periodic checking.
2034 memtest= [KNL,X86,ARM] Enable memtest
2036 default : 0 <disable>
2037 Specifies the number of memtest passes to be
2038 performed. Each pass selects another test
2039 pattern from a given set of patterns. Memtest
2040 fills the memory with this pattern, validates
2041 memory contents and reserves bad memory
2042 regions that are detected.
2044 meye.*= [HW] Set MotionEye Camera parameters
2045 See Documentation/video4linux/meye.txt.
2047 mfgpt_irq= [IA-32] Specify the IRQ to use for the
2048 Multi-Function General Purpose Timers on AMD Geode
2051 mfgptfix [X86-32] Fix MFGPT timers on AMD Geode platforms when
2052 the BIOS has incorrectly applied a workaround. TinyBIOS
2053 version 0.98 is known to be affected, 0.99 fixes the
2054 problem by letting the user disable the workaround.
2058 min_addr=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory below this
2059 physical address is ignored.
2061 mini2440= [ARM,HW,KNL]
2062 Format:[0..2][b][c][t]
2064 MINI2440 configuration specification:
2065 0 - The attached screen is the 3.5" TFT
2066 1 - The attached screen is the 7" TFT
2067 2 - The VGA Shield is attached (1024x768)
2068 Leaving out the screen size parameter will not load
2069 the TFT driver, and the framebuffer will be left
2071 b - Enable backlight. The TFT backlight pin will be
2072 linked to the kernel VESA blanking code and a GPIO
2073 LED. This parameter is not necessary when using the
2075 c - Enable the s3c camera interface.
2076 t - Reserved for enabling touchscreen support. The
2077 touchscreen support is not enabled in the mainstream
2078 kernel as of 2.6.30, a preliminary port can be found
2079 in the "bleeding edge" mini2440 support kernel at
2080 http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git
2083 [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set, this
2084 parameter allows control of the logging verbosity for
2085 the additional memory initialisation checks. A value
2086 of 0 disables mminit logging and a level of 4 will
2087 log everything. Information is printed at KERN_DEBUG
2088 so loglevel=8 may also need to be specified.
2091 [KNL] When CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, this means that
2092 modules without (valid) signatures will fail to load.
2093 Note that if CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is set, that
2094 is always true, so this option does nothing.
2097 [MOUSE] Maximum time between finger touching and
2098 leaving touchpad surface for touch to be considered
2099 a tap and be reported as a left button click (for
2100 touchpads working in absolute mode only).
2102 mousedev.xres= [MOUSE] Horizontal screen resolution, used for devices
2103 reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
2104 mousedev.yres= [MOUSE] Vertical screen resolution, used for devices
2105 reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
2107 movablecore=nn[KMG] [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter
2108 is similar to kernelcore except it specifies the
2109 amount of memory used for migratable allocations.
2110 If both kernelcore and movablecore is specified,
2111 then kernelcore will be at *least* the specified
2112 value but may be more. If movablecore on its own
2113 is specified, the administrator must be careful
2114 that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
2117 movable_node [KNL,X86] Boot-time switch to enable the effects
2118 of CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE=y. See mm/Kconfig for details.
2120 MTD_Partition= [MTD]
2121 Format: <name>,<region-number>,<size>,<offset>
2123 MTD_Region= [MTD] Format:
2124 <name>,<region-number>[,<base>,<size>,<buswidth>,<altbuswidth>]
2127 See drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c.
2129 multitce=off [PPC] This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
2130 firmware feature for updating multiple TCE entries
2133 onenand.bdry= [HW,MTD] Flex-OneNAND Boundary Configuration
2135 Format: [die0_boundary][,die0_lock][,die1_boundary][,die1_lock]
2137 boundary - index of last SLC block on Flex-OneNAND.
2138 The remaining blocks are configured as MLC blocks.
2139 lock - Configure if Flex-OneNAND boundary should be locked.
2140 Once locked, the boundary cannot be changed.
2141 1 indicates lock status, 0 indicates unlock status.
2144 ARM/S3C2412 JIVE boot control
2146 See arch/arm/mach-s3c2412/mach-jive.c
2148 mtouchusb.raw_coordinates=
2149 [HW] Make the MicroTouch USB driver use raw coordinates
2150 ('y', default) or cooked coordinates ('n')
2152 mtrr_chunk_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
2153 used for mtrr cleanup. It is largest continuous chunk
2154 that could hold holes aka. UC entries.
2156 mtrr_gran_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
2157 Used for mtrr cleanup. It is granularity of mtrr block.
2159 Large value could prevent small alignment from
2162 mtrr_spare_reg_nr=n [X86]
2164 Range: 0,7 : spare reg number
2166 Used for mtrr cleanup. It is spare mtrr entries number.
2167 Set to 2 or more if your graphical card needs more.
2169 n2= [NET] SDL Inc. RISCom/N2 synchronous serial card
2171 netdev= [NET] Network devices parameters
2172 Format: <irq>,<io>,<mem_start>,<mem_end>,<name>
2173 Note that mem_start is often overloaded to mean
2174 something different and driver-specific.
2175 This usage is only documented in each driver source
2179 [NETFILTER] Enable connection tracking flow accounting
2180 0 to disable accounting
2181 1 to enable accounting
2184 nfsaddrs= [NFS] Deprecated. Use ip= instead.
2185 See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
2187 nfsroot= [NFS] nfs root filesystem for disk-less boxes.
2188 See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
2190 nfsrootdebug [NFS] enable nfsroot debugging messages.
2191 See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
2193 nfs.callback_tcpport=
2194 [NFS] set the TCP port on which the NFSv4 callback
2195 channel should listen.
2198 [NFS] sets the pathname to the program which is used
2199 to update the NFS client cache entries.
2201 nfs.cache_getent_timeout=
2202 [NFS] sets the timeout after which an attempt to
2203 update a cache entry is deemed to have failed.
2205 nfs.idmap_cache_timeout=
2206 [NFS] set the maximum lifetime for idmapper cache
2210 [NFS] enable 64-bit inode numbers.
2211 If zero, the NFS client will fake up a 32-bit inode
2212 number for the readdir() and stat() syscalls instead
2213 of returning the full 64-bit number.
2214 The default is to return 64-bit inode numbers.
2216 nfs.max_session_slots=
2217 [NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session slots
2218 the client will attempt to negotiate with the server.
2219 This limits the number of simultaneous RPC requests
2220 that the client can send to the NFSv4.1 server.
2221 Note that there is little point in setting this
2222 value higher than the max_tcp_slot_table_limit.
2224 nfs.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
2225 [NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', this option
2226 ensures that both the RPC level authentication
2227 scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use
2228 numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the
2229 'sec=sys' security flavour. In effect it is
2230 disabling idmapping, which can make migration from
2231 legacy NFSv2/v3 systems to NFSv4 easier.
2232 Servers that do not support this mode of operation
2233 will be autodetected by the client, and it will fall
2234 back to using the idmapper.
2235 To turn off this behaviour, set the value to '0'.
2237 [NFS4] Specify an additional fixed unique ident-
2238 ification string that NFSv4 clients can insert into
2239 their nfs_client_id4 string. This is typically a
2240 UUID that is generated at system install time.
2242 nfs.send_implementation_id =
2243 [NFSv4.1] Send client implementation identification
2244 information in exchange_id requests.
2245 If zero, no implementation identification information
2247 The default is to send the implementation identification
2250 nfs.recover_lost_locks =
2251 [NFSv4] Attempt to recover locks that were lost due
2252 to a lease timeout on the server. Please note that
2253 doing this risks data corruption, since there are
2254 no guarantees that the file will remain unchanged
2255 after the locks are lost.
2256 If you want to enable the kernel legacy behaviour of
2257 attempting to recover these locks, then set this
2259 The default parameter value of '0' causes the kernel
2260 not to attempt recovery of lost locks.
2262 nfsd.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
2263 [NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', the NFSv4
2264 server will return only numeric uids and gids to
2265 clients using auth_sys, and will accept numeric uids
2266 and gids from such clients. This is intended to ease
2267 migration from NFSv2/v3.
2269 objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog=
2270 [NFS] [OBJLAYOUT] sets the pathname to the program which
2271 is used to automatically discover and login into new
2272 osd-targets. Please see:
2273 Documentation/filesystems/pnfs.txt for more explanations
2275 nmi_debug= [KNL,AVR32,SH] Specify one or more actions to take
2276 when a NMI is triggered.
2277 Format: [state][,regs][,debounce][,die]
2279 nmi_watchdog= [KNL,BUGS=X86] Debugging features for SMP kernels
2280 Format: [panic,][nopanic,][num]
2282 0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
2283 1 - turn nmi_watchdog on
2284 When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
2285 timeout occurs (or 'nopanic' to override the opposite
2287 This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
2288 need the box quickly up again.
2290 netpoll.carrier_timeout=
2291 [NET] Specifies amount of time (in seconds) that
2292 netpoll should wait for a carrier. By default netpoll
2295 no387 [BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel to use the 387 maths
2296 emulation library even if a 387 maths coprocessor
2300 [HW] Never suspend the console
2301 Disable suspending of consoles during suspend and
2302 hibernate operations. Once disabled, debugging
2303 messages can reach various consoles while the rest
2304 of the system is being put to sleep (ie, while
2305 debugging driver suspend/resume hooks). This may
2306 not work reliably with all consoles, but is known
2307 to work with serial and VGA consoles.
2308 To facilitate more flexible debugging, we also add
2309 console_suspend, a printk module parameter to control
2310 it. Users could use console_suspend (usually
2311 /sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend) to
2312 turn on/off it dynamically.
2314 noaliencache [MM, NUMA, SLAB] Disables the allocation of alien
2315 caches in the slab allocator. Saves per-node memory,
2316 but will impact performance.
2320 noapic [SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel to not make use of any
2321 IOAPICs that may be present in the system.
2323 noautogroup Disable scheduler automatic task group creation.
2325 nobats [PPC] Do not use BATs for mapping kernel lowmem
2326 on "Classic" PPC cores.
2330 noclflush [BUGS=X86] Don't use the CLFLUSH instruction
2332 nodelayacct [KNL] Disable per-task delay accounting
2334 nodisconnect [HW,SCSI,M68K] Disables SCSI disconnects.
2336 nodsp [SH] Disable hardware DSP at boot time.
2338 noefi Disable EFI runtime services support.
2343 On X86-32 available only on PAE configured kernels.
2344 noexec=on: enable non-executable mappings (default)
2345 noexec=off: disable non-executable mappings
2348 Disable SMAP (Supervisor Mode Access Prevention)
2349 even if it is supported by processor.
2352 Disable SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention)
2353 even if it is supported by processor.
2356 This affects only 32-bit executables.
2357 noexec32=on: enable non-executable mappings (default)
2358 read doesn't imply executable mappings
2359 noexec32=off: disable non-executable mappings
2360 read implies executable mappings
2362 nofpu [MIPS,SH] Disable hardware FPU at boot time.
2364 nofxsr [BUGS=X86-32] Disables x86 floating point extended
2365 register save and restore. The kernel will only save
2366 legacy floating-point registers on task switch.
2368 nohugeiomap [KNL,x86] Disable kernel huge I/O mappings.
2370 noxsave [BUGS=X86] Disables x86 extended register state save
2371 and restore using xsave. The kernel will fallback to
2372 enabling legacy floating-point and sse state.
2374 noxsaveopt [X86] Disables xsaveopt used in saving x86 extended
2375 register states. The kernel will fall back to use
2376 xsave to save the states. By using this parameter,
2377 performance of saving the states is degraded because
2378 xsave doesn't support modified optimization while
2379 xsaveopt supports it on xsaveopt enabled systems.
2381 noxsaves [X86] Disables xsaves and xrstors used in saving and
2382 restoring x86 extended register state in compacted
2383 form of xsave area. The kernel will fall back to use
2384 xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restore the states
2385 in standard form of xsave area. By using this
2386 parameter, xsave area per process might occupy more
2387 memory on xsaves enabled systems.
2389 nohlt [BUGS=ARM,SH] Tells the kernel that the sleep(SH) or
2390 wfi(ARM) instruction doesn't work correctly and not to
2391 use it. This is also useful when using JTAG debugger.
2393 no_file_caps Tells the kernel not to honor file capabilities. The
2394 only way then for a file to be executed with privilege
2395 is to be setuid root or executed by root.
2397 nohalt [IA-64] Tells the kernel not to use the power saving
2398 function PAL_HALT_LIGHT when idle. This increases
2399 power-consumption. On the positive side, it reduces
2400 interrupt wake-up latency, which may improve performance
2401 in certain environments such as networked servers or
2404 nohibernate [HIBERNATION] Disable hibernation and resume.
2406 nohz= [KNL] Boottime enable/disable dynamic ticks
2407 Valid arguments: on, off

2411 In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, set
2412 the specified list of CPUs whose tick will be stopped
2413 whenever possible. The boot CPU will be forced outside
2414 the range to maintain the timekeeping.
2415 The CPUs in this range must also be included in the
2418 noiotrap [SH] Disables trapped I/O port accesses.
2420 noirqdebug [X86-32] Disables the code which attempts to detect and
2421 disable unhandled interrupt sources.

2437 nojitter [IA-64] Disables jitter checking for ITC timers.
2439 no-kvmclock [X86,KVM] Disable paravirtualized KVM clock driver
2441 no-kvmapf [X86,KVM] Disable paravirtualized asynchronous page
2444 no-steal-acc [X86,KVM] Disable paravirtualized steal time accounting.
2445 steal time is computed, but won't influence scheduler
2448 nolapic [X86-32,APIC] Do not enable or use the local APIC.
2450 nolapic_timer [X86-32,APIC] Do not use the local APIC timer.

2457 nomce [X86-32] Disable Machine Check Exception
2459 nomfgpt [X86-32] Disable Multi-Function General Purpose
2460 Timer usage (for AMD Geode machines).
2462 nonmi_ipi [X86] Disable using NMI IPIs during panic/reboot to
2463 shutdown the other cpus. Instead use the REBOOT_VECTOR
2466 nomodule Disable module load
2468 nopat [X86] Disable PAT (page attribute table extension of
2469 pagetables) support.
2471 norandmaps Don't use address space randomization. Equivalent to
2472 echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
2474 noreplace-paravirt [X86,IA-64,PV_OPS] Don't patch paravirt_ops
2476 noreplace-smp [X86-32,SMP] Don't replace SMP instructions
2477 with UP alternatives
2479 nordrand [X86] Disable kernel use of the RDRAND and
2480 RDSEED instructions even if they are supported
2481 by the processor. RDRAND and RDSEED are still
2482 available to user space applications.
2484 noresume [SWSUSP] Disables resume and restores original swap
2487 no-scroll [VGA] Disables scrollback.
2488 This is required for the Braillex ib80-piezo Braille
2489 reader made by F.H. Papenmeier (Germany).
2493 nosep [BUGS=X86-32] Disables x86 SYSENTER/SYSEXIT support.
2495 nosmp [SMP] Tells an SMP kernel to act as a UP kernel,
2496 and disable the IO APIC. legacy for "maxcpus=0".
2498 nosoftlockup [KNL] Disable the soft-lockup detector.
2500 nosync [HW,M68K] Disables sync negotiation for all devices.
2502 notsc [BUGS=X86-32] Disable Time Stamp Counter
2504 nousb [USB] Disable the USB subsystem

2507 soft-lockup and NMI watchdog (hard-lockup).
2511 nox2apic [X86-64,APIC] Do not enable x2APIC mode.
2513 cpu0_hotplug [X86] Turn on CPU0 hotplug feature when
2514 CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is off.
2515 Some features depend on CPU0. Known dependencies are:
2516 1. Resume from suspend/hibernate depends on CPU0.
2517 Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you
2518 need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate.
2519 2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be
2520 removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
2521 It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some
2522 machines although I haven't seen such issues so far
2523 after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines.
2524 If the dependencies are under your control, you can
2525 turn on cpu0_hotplug.
2527 nptcg= [IA-64] Override max number of concurrent global TLB
2528 purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or
2531 nr_cpus= [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
2532 could support. nr_cpus=n : n >= 1 limits the kernel to
2533 supporting 'n' processors. Later in runtime you can not
2534 use hotplug cpu feature to put more cpu back to online.
2535 just like you compile the kernel NR_CPUS=n
2537 nr_uarts= [SERIAL] maximum number of UARTs to be registered.
2539 numa_balancing= [KNL,X86] Enable or disable automatic NUMA balancing.
2540 Allowed values are enable and disable
2542 numa_zonelist_order= [KNL, BOOT] Select zonelist order for NUMA.
2543 one of ['zone', 'node', 'default'] can be specified
2544 This can be set from sysctl after boot.
2545 See Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt for details.
2547 ohci1394_dma=early [HW] enable debugging via the ohci1394 driver.
2548 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more
2551 olpc_ec_timeout= [OLPC] ms delay when issuing EC commands
2552 Rather than timing out after 20 ms if an EC
2553 command is not properly ACKed, override the length
2554 of the timeout. We have interrupts disabled while
2555 waiting for the ACK, so if this is set too high
2556 interrupts *may* be lost!
2558 omap_mux= [OMAP] Override bootloader pin multiplexing.
2559 Format: <mux_mode0.mode_name=value>...
2560 For example, to override I2C bus2:
2561 omap_mux=i2c2_scl.i2c2_scl=0x100,i2c2_sda.i2c2_sda=0x100
2563 oprofile.timer= [HW]
2564 Use timer interrupt instead of performance counters
2566 oprofile.cpu_type= Force an oprofile cpu type
2567 This might be useful if you have an older oprofile
2568 userland or if you want common events.
2569 Format: { arch_perfmon }
2570 arch_perfmon: [X86] Force use of architectural
2571 perfmon on Intel CPUs instead of the
2572 CPU specific event set.
2573 timer: [X86] Force use of architectural NMI
2574 timer mode (see also oprofile.timer
2575 for generic hr timer mode)
2576 [s390] Force legacy basic mode sampling
2577 (report cpu_type "timer")
2579 oops=panic Always panic on oopses. Default is to just kill the
2580 process, but there is a small probability of
2581 deadlocking the machine.
2582 This will also cause panics on machine check exceptions.
2583 Useful together with panic=30 to trigger a reboot.
2586 See Documentation/sound/oss/oss-parameters.txt
2588 page_owner= [KNL] Boot-time page_owner enabling option.
2589 Storage of the information about who allocated
2590 each page is disabled in default. With this switch,
2592 on: enable the feature
2594 panic= [KNL] Kernel behaviour on panic: delay <timeout>
2595 timeout > 0: seconds before rebooting
2596 timeout = 0: wait forever
2597 timeout < 0: reboot immediately
2600 panic_on_warn panic() instead of WARN(). Useful to cause kdump
2603 crash_kexec_post_notifiers
2604 Run kdump after running panic-notifiers and dumping
2605 kmsg. This only for the users who doubt kdump always
2606 succeeds in any situation.
2607 Note that this also increases risks of kdump failure,
2608 because some panic notifiers can make the crashed
2609 kernel more unstable.
2611 parkbd.port= [HW] Parallel port number the keyboard adapter is
2612 connected to, default is 0.
2614 parkbd.mode= [HW] Parallel port keyboard adapter mode of operation,
2615 0 for XT, 1 for AT (default is AT).
2618 parport= [HW,PPT] Specify parallel ports. 0 disables.
2619 Format: { 0 | auto | 0xBBB[,IRQ[,DMA]] }
2620 Use 'auto' to force the driver to use any
2621 IRQ/DMA settings detected (the default is to
2622 ignore detected IRQ/DMA settings because of
2623 possible conflicts). You can specify the base
2624 address, IRQ, and DMA settings; IRQ and DMA
2625 should be numbers, or 'auto' (for using detected
2626 settings on that particular port), or 'nofifo'
2627 (to avoid using a FIFO even if it is detected).
2628 Parallel ports are assigned in the order they
2629 are specified on the command line, starting
2632 parport_init_mode= [HW,PPT]
2633 Configure VIA parallel port to operate in
2634 a specific mode. This is necessary on Pegasos
2635 computer where firmware has no options for setting
2636 up parallel port mode and sets it to spp.
2637 Currently this function knows 686a and 8231 chips.
2638 Format: [spp|ps2|epp|ecp|ecpepp]
2641 Halt all CPUs after the first oops has been printed for
2642 the specified number of seconds. This is to be used if
2643 your oopses keep scrolling off the screen.
2648 See header of drivers/block/paride/pcd.c.
2649 See also Documentation/blockdev/paride.txt.
2651 pci=option[,option...] [PCI] various PCI subsystem options:
2652 earlydump [X86] dump PCI config space before the kernel
2654 off [X86] don't probe for the PCI bus
2655 bios [X86-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
2656 the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
2657 has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
2658 nobios [X86-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
2659 hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
2660 if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
2661 suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
2662 conf1 [X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
2664 conf2 [X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
2666 noaer [PCIE] If the PCIEAER kernel config parameter is
2667 enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
2668 disable the use of PCIE advanced error reporting.
2669 nodomains [PCI] Disable support for multiple PCI
2670 root domains (aka PCI segments, in ACPI-speak).
2671 nommconf [X86] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
2673 check_enable_amd_mmconf [X86] check for and enable
2674 properly configured MMIO access to PCI
2675 config space on AMD family 10h CPU
2676 nomsi [MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
2677 enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
2678 disable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.
2679 noioapicquirk [APIC] Disable all boot interrupt quirks.
2680 Safety option to keep boot IRQs enabled. This
2681 should never be necessary.
2682 ioapicreroute [APIC] Enable rerouting of boot IRQs to the
2683 primary IO-APIC for bridges that cannot disable
2684 boot IRQs. This fixes a source of spurious IRQs
2685 when the system masks IRQs.
2686 noioapicreroute [APIC] Disable workaround that uses the
2687 boot IRQ equivalent of an IRQ that connects to
2688 a chipset where boot IRQs cannot be disabled.
2689 The opposite of ioapicreroute.
2690 biosirq [X86-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
2691 routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
2692 on several machines and they hang the machine
2693 when used, but on other computers it's the only
2694 way to get the interrupt routing table. Try
2695 this option if the kernel is unable to allocate
2696 IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your
2698 rom [X86] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
2699 Use with caution as certain devices share
2700 address decoders between ROMs and other
2702 norom [X86] Do not assign address space to
2703 expansion ROMs that do not already have
2704 BIOS assigned address ranges.
2705 nobar [X86] Do not assign address space to the
2706 BARs that weren't assigned by the BIOS.
2707 irqmask=0xMMMM [X86] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be
2708 assigned automatically to PCI devices. You can
2709 make the kernel exclude IRQs of your ISA cards
2711 pirqaddr=0xAAAAA [X86] Specify the physical address
2712 of the PIRQ table (normally generated
2713 by the BIOS) if it is outside the
2714 F0000h-100000h range.
2715 lastbus=N [X86] Scan all buses thru bus #N. Can be
2716 useful if the kernel is unable to find your
2717 secondary buses and you want to tell it
2718 explicitly which ones they are.
2719 assign-busses [X86] Always assign all PCI bus
2720 numbers ourselves, overriding
2721 whatever the firmware may have done.
2722 usepirqmask [X86] Honor the possible IRQ mask stored
2723 in the BIOS $PIR table. This is needed on
2724 some systems with broken BIOSes, notably
2725 some HP Pavilion N5400 and Omnibook XE3
2726 notebooks. This will have no effect if ACPI
2727 IRQ routing is enabled.
2728 noacpi [X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
2729 or for PCI scanning.
2730 use_crs [X86] Use PCI host bridge window information
2731 from ACPI. On BIOSes from 2008 or later, this
2732 is enabled by default. If you need to use this,
2733 please report a bug.
2734 nocrs [X86] Ignore PCI host bridge windows from ACPI.
2735 If you need to use this, please report a bug.
2736 routeirq Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
2737 This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
2738 so this option is a temporary workaround
2739 for broken drivers that don't call it.
2740 skip_isa_align [X86] do not align io start addr, so can
2741 handle more pci cards
2742 firmware [ARM] Do not re-enumerate the bus but instead
2743 just use the configuration from the
2744 bootloader. This is currently used on
2745 IXP2000 systems where the bus has to be
2746 configured a certain way for adjunct CPUs.
2747 noearly [X86] Don't do any early type 1 scanning.
2748 This might help on some broken boards which
2749 machine check when some devices' config space
2750 is read. But various workarounds are disabled
2751 and some IOMMU drivers will not work.
2752 bfsort Sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
2753 This sorting is done to get a device
2754 order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
2755 nobfsort Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
2756 pcie_bus_tune_off Disable PCIe MPS (Max Payload Size)
2757 tuning and use the BIOS-configured MPS defaults.
2758 pcie_bus_safe Set every device's MPS to the largest value
2759 supported by all devices below the root complex.
2760 pcie_bus_perf Set device MPS to the largest allowable MPS
2761 based on its parent bus. Also set MRRS (Max
2762 Read Request Size) to the largest supported
2763 value (no larger than the MPS that the device
2764 or bus can support) for best performance.
2765 pcie_bus_peer2peer Set every device's MPS to 128B, which
2766 every device is guaranteed to support. This
2767 configuration allows peer-to-peer DMA between
2768 any pair of devices, possibly at the cost of
2769 reduced performance. This also guarantees
2770 that hot-added devices will work.
2771 cbiosize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is
2772 reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.
2773 The default value is 256 bytes.
2774 cbmemsize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is
2775 reserved for the CardBus bridge's memory
2776 window. The default value is 64 megabytes.
2779 [<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...]
2780 Specifies alignment and device to reassign
2781 aligned memory resources.
2782 If <order of align> is not specified,
2783 PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment.
2784 PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource
2785 windows need to be expanded.
2786 ecrc= Enable/disable PCIe ECRC (transaction layer
2787 end-to-end CRC checking).
2788 bios: Use BIOS/firmware settings. This is the
2792 hpiosize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is
2793 reserved for hotplug bridge's IO window.
2794 Default size is 256 bytes.
2795 hpmemsize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is
2796 reserved for hotplug bridge's memory window.
2797 Default size is 2 megabytes.
2798 realloc= Enable/disable reallocating PCI bridge resources

2800 accommodate resources required by all child
2802 off: Turn realloc off
2804 realloc same as realloc=on
2805 noari do not use PCIe ARI.
2806 pcie_scan_all Scan all possible PCIe devices. Otherwise we
2807 only look for one device below a PCIe downstream
2810 pcie_aspm= [PCIE] Forcibly enable or disable PCIe Active State Power
2813 force Enable ASPM even on devices that claim not to support it.
2814 WARNING: Forcing ASPM on may cause system lockups.
2816 pcie_hp= [PCIE] PCI Express Hotplug driver options:
2817 nomsi Do not use MSI for PCI Express Native Hotplug (this
2818 makes all PCIe ports use INTx for hotplug services).
2820 pcie_ports= [PCIE] PCIe ports handling:
2821 auto Ask the BIOS whether or not to use native PCIe services
2822 associated with PCIe ports (PME, hot-plug, AER). Use
2823 them only if that is allowed by the BIOS.
2824 native Use native PCIe services associated with PCIe ports
2826 compat Treat PCIe ports as PCI-to-PCI bridges, disable the PCIe
2829 pcie_pme= [PCIE,PM] Native PCIe PME signaling options:
2830 nomsi Do not use MSI for native PCIe PME signaling (this makes
2831 all PCIe root ports use INTx for all services).
2833 pcmv= [HW,PCMCIA] BadgePAD 4
2837 Keep all power-domains already enabled by bootloader on,
2838 even if no driver has claimed them. This is useful
2839 for debug and development, but should not be
2840 needed on a platform with proper driver support.
2843 See Documentation/blockdev/paride.txt.
2845 pdcchassis= [PARISC,HW] Disable/Enable PDC Chassis Status codes at

2871 Override pmtimer IOPort with a hex value.
2875 Enable PNP debug messages (depends on the
2876 CONFIG_PNP_DEBUG_MESSAGES option). Change at run-time
2877 via /sys/module/pnp/parameters/debug. We always show
2878 current resource usage; turning this on also shows
2879 possible settings and some assignment information.

2982 ramdisk_size= [RAM] Sizes of RAM disks in kilobytes
2983 See Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt.
2986 In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, set
2987 the specified list of CPUs to be no-callback CPUs.
2988 Invocation of these CPUs' RCU callbacks will
2989 be offloaded to "rcuox/N" kthreads created for
2990 that purpose, where "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p"
2991 for RCU-preempt, and "s" for RCU-sched, and "N"
2992 is the CPU number. This reduces OS jitter on the
2993 offloaded CPUs, which can be useful for HPC and
2994 real-time workloads. It can also improve energy
2995 efficiency for asymmetric multiprocessors.
2998 Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
2999 (specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
3000 awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
3001 make these kthreads poll for callbacks.
3002 This improves the real-time response for the
3003 offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
3004 wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
3005 energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
3006 periodically wake up to do the polling.
3008 rcutree.blimit= [KNL]
3009 Set maximum number of finished RCU callbacks to
3010 process in one batch.
3012 rcutree.dump_tree= [KNL]
3013 Dump the structure of the rcu_node combining tree
3014 out at early boot. This is used for diagnostic
3015 purposes, to verify correct tree setup.
3017 rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay= [KNL]
3018 Set the number of jiffies to delay each step of
3019 RCU grace-period cleanup. This only has effect
3020 when CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP is set.
3022 rcutree.gp_init_delay= [KNL]
3023 Set the number of jiffies to delay each step of
3024 RCU grace-period initialization. This only has
3025 effect when CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT
3028 rcutree.gp_preinit_delay= [KNL]
3029 Set the number of jiffies to delay each step of
3030 RCU grace-period pre-initialization, that is,
3031 the propagation of recent CPU-hotplug changes up
3032 the rcu_node combining tree. This only has effect
3033 when CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT is set.
3035 rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact= [KNL]
3036 Disable autobalancing of the rcu_node combining
3037 tree. This is used by rcutorture, and might
3038 possibly be useful for architectures having high
3039 cache-to-cache transfer latencies.
3041 rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf= [KNL]
3042 Increase the number of CPUs assigned to each
3043 leaf rcu_node structure. Useful for very large
3046 rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs= [KNL]
3047 Set required age in jiffies for a
3048 given grace period before RCU starts
3049 soliciting quiescent-state help from
3050 rcu_note_context_switch().
3052 rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs= [KNL]
3053 Set delay from grace-period initialization to
3054 first attempt to force quiescent states.
3055 Units are jiffies, minimum value is zero,
3056 and maximum value is HZ.
3058 rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs= [KNL]
3059 Set delay between subsequent attempts to force
3060 quiescent states. Units are jiffies, minimum
3061 value is one, and maximum value is HZ.
3063 rcutree.kthread_prio= [KNL,BOOT]
3064 Set the SCHED_FIFO priority of the RCU per-CPU
3065 kthreads (rcuc/N). This value is also used for
3066 the priority of the RCU boost threads (rcub/N)
3067 and for the RCU grace-period kthreads (rcu_bh,
3068 rcu_preempt, and rcu_sched). If RCU_BOOST is
3069 set, valid values are 1-99 and the default is 1
3070 (the least-favored priority). Otherwise, when
3071 RCU_BOOST is not set, valid values are 0-99 and
3072 the default is zero (non-realtime operation).
3074 rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride= [KNL]
3075 Set the number of NOCB kthread groups, which
3076 defaults to the square root of the number of
3077 CPUs. Larger numbers reduces the wakeup overhead
3078 on the per-CPU grace-period kthreads, but increases
3079 that same overhead on each group's leader.
3081 rcutree.qhimark= [KNL]
3082 Set threshold of queued RCU callbacks beyond which
3083 batch limiting is disabled.
3085 rcutree.qlowmark= [KNL]
3086 Set threshold of queued RCU callbacks below which
3087 batch limiting is re-enabled.
3089 rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay= [KNL]
3090 Set wakeup interval for idle CPUs that have
3091 RCU callbacks (RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y).
3093 rcutree.rcu_idle_lazy_gp_delay= [KNL]
3094 Set wakeup interval for idle CPUs that have
3095 only "lazy" RCU callbacks (RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y).
3096 Lazy RCU callbacks are those which RCU can
3097 prove do nothing more than free memory.
3099 rcutorture.cbflood_inter_holdoff= [KNL]
3100 Set holdoff time (jiffies) between successive
3101 callback-flood tests.
3103 rcutorture.cbflood_intra_holdoff= [KNL]
3104 Set holdoff time (jiffies) between successive
3105 bursts of callbacks within a given callback-flood
3108 rcutorture.cbflood_n_burst= [KNL]
3109 Set the number of bursts making up a given
3110 callback-flood test. Set this to zero to
3111 disable callback-flood testing.
3113 rcutorture.cbflood_n_per_burst= [KNL]
3114 Set the number of callbacks to be registered

3183 Time (s) to stutter testing, for example, specifying
3184 five seconds causes the test to run for five seconds,
3185 wait for five seconds, and so on. This tests RCU's
3186 ability to transition abruptly to and from idle.
3188 rcutorture.test_boost= [KNL]
3189 Test RCU priority boosting? 0=no, 1=maybe, 2=yes.

3206 rcutorture.verbose= [KNL]
3207 Enable additional printk() statements.
3209 rcupdate.rcu_expedited= [KNL]
3210 Use expedited grace-period primitives, for
3211 example, synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead
3212 of synchronize_rcu(). This reduces latency,
3213 but can increase CPU utilization, degrade
3214 real-time latency, and degrade energy efficiency.

3439 and the less frequently locks need to be acquired.
3440 For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.txt.
3442 slub_min_order= [MM, SLUB]
3443 Determines the minimum page order for slabs. Must be

3506 sunrpc.min_resvport=
3507 sunrpc.max_resvport=
3509 SunRPC servers often require that client requests
3510 originate from a privileged port (i.e. a port in the
3511 range 0 < portnr < 1024).
3512 An administrator who wishes to reserve some of these
3513 ports for other uses may adjust the range that the
3514 kernel's sunrpc client considers to be privileged
3515 using these two parameters to set the minimum and
3516 maximum port values.
3520 Control how the NFS server code allocates CPUs to
3521 service thread pools. Depending on how many NICs
3522 you have and where their interrupts are bound, this
3523 option will affect which CPUs will do NFS serving.
3524 Note: this parameter cannot be changed while the
3525 NFS server is running.
3527 auto the server chooses an appropriate mode
3528 automatically using heuristics
3529 global a single global pool contains all CPUs
3530 percpu one pool for each CPU
3531 pernode one pool for each NUMA node (equivalent
3532 to global on non-NUMA machines)
3534 sunrpc.tcp_slot_table_entries=
3535 sunrpc.udp_slot_table_entries=
3537 Sets the upper limit on the number of simultaneous
3538 RPC calls that can be sent from the client to a
3539 server. Increasing these values may allow you to
3540 improve throughput, but will also increase the
3541 amount of memory reserved for use by the client.
3543 suspend.pm_test_delay=
3545 Sets the number of seconds to remain in a suspend test
3546 mode before resuming the system (see

3559 wouldn't be automatically used by the kernel
3563 sysfs.deprecated=0|1 [KNL]
3564 Enable/disable old style sysfs layout for old udev
3565 on older distributions. When this option is enabled
3566 very new udev will not work anymore. When this option
3567 is disabled (or CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED not compiled)
3568 in older udev will not work anymore.
3569 Default depends on CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 set in
3570 the kernel configuration.
3572 sysrq_always_enabled
3574 Ignore sysrq setting - this boot parameter will
3575 neutralize any effect of /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq.
3576 Useful for debugging.
3578 tcpmhash_entries= [KNL,NET]
3579 Set the number of tcp_metrics_hash slots.
3580 Default value is 8192 or 16384 depending on total
3581 ram pages. This is used to specify the TCP metrics
3582 cache size. See Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
3583 "tcp_no_metrics_save" section for more details.
3587 test_suspend= [SUSPEND][,N]
3588 Specify "mem" (for Suspend-to-RAM) or "standby" (for
3589 standby suspend) or "freeze" (for suspend type freeze)
3590 as the system sleep state during system startup with
3591 the optional capability to repeat N number of times.

3628 Enable the Transcendent memory driver if built-in.
3630 tmem.cleancache=0|1 [KNL, XEN]
3631 Default is on (1). Disable the usage of the cleancache
3632 API to send anonymous pages to the hypervisor.
3634 tmem.frontswap=0|1 [KNL, XEN]
3635 Default is on (1). Disable the usage of the frontswap
3636 API to send swap pages to the hypervisor. If disabled
3637 the selfballooning and selfshrinking are force disabled.
3639 tmem.selfballooning=0|1 [KNL, XEN]
3640 Default is on (1). Disable the driving of swap pages
3643 tmem.selfshrinking=0|1 [KNL, XEN]
3644 Default is on (1). Partial swapoff that immediately
3645 transfers pages from Xen hypervisor back to the
3646 kernel based on different criteria.
3650 Specify if the kernel should make use of the cpu
3651 topology information if the hardware supports this.
3652 The scheduler will make use of this information and
3653 e.g. base its process migration decisions on it.
3656 topology_updates= [KNL, PPC, NUMA]
3658 Specify if the kernel should ignore (off)
3659 topology updates sent by the hypervisor to this
3664 tpm_suspend_pcr=[HW,TPM]
3665 Format: integer pcr id
3666 Specify that at suspend time, the tpm driver
3667 should extend the specified pcr with zeros,
3668 as a workaround for some chips which fail to
3669 flush the last written pcr on TPM_SaveState.
3670 This will guarantee that all the other pcrs
3673 trace_buf_size=nn[KMG]
3674 [FTRACE] will set tracing buffer size on each cpu.
3676 trace_event=[event-list]
3677 [FTRACE] Set and start specified trace events in order
3678 to facilitate early boot debugging.
3679 See also Documentation/trace/events.txt
3681 trace_options=[option-list]
3682 [FTRACE] Enable or disable tracer options at boot.
3683 The option-list is a comma delimited list of options
3684 that can be enabled or disabled just as if you were
3685 to echo the option name into
3687 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options
3689 For example, to enable stacktrace option (to dump the
3690 stack trace of each event), add to the command line:
3692 trace_options=stacktrace
3694 See also Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt "trace options"
3698 Have the tracepoints sent to printk as well as the
3699 tracing ring buffer. This is useful for early boot up
3700 where the system hangs or reboots and does not give the
3701 option for reading the tracing buffer or performing a
3702 ftrace_dump_on_oops.
3704 To turn off having tracepoints sent to printk,
3705 echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk
3706 Note, echoing 1 into this file without the
3707 tracepoint_printk kernel cmdline option has no effect.
3711 Having tracepoints sent to printk() and activating high
3712 frequency tracepoints such as irq or sched, can cause
3713 the system to live lock.
3716 [FTRACE] enable this option to disable tracing when a
3717 warning is hit. This turns off "tracing_on". Tracing can
3718 be enabled again by echoing '1' into the "tracing_on"
3719 file located in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
3721 This option is useful, as it disables the trace before
3722 the WARNING dump is called, which prevents the trace to
3723 be filled with content caused by the warning output.
3725 This option can also be set at run time via the sysctl
3726 option: kernel/traceoff_on_warning
3728 transparent_hugepage=
3730 Format: [always|madvise|never]
3731 Can be used to control the default behavior of the system
3732 with respect to transparent hugepages.
3733 See Documentation/vm/transhuge.txt for more details.
3735 tsc= Disable clocksource stability checks for TSC.
3737 [x86] reliable: mark tsc clocksource as reliable, this
3738 disables clocksource verification at runtime, as well
3739 as the stability checks done at bootup. Used to enable
3740 high-resolution timer mode on older hardware, and in
3741 virtualized environment.
3742 [x86] noirqtime: Do not use TSC to do irq accounting.

3758 uhash_entries= [KNL,NET]
3759 Set number of hash buckets for UDP/UDP-Lite connections
3762 [USB] Ignore overcurrent events (default N).
3763 Some badly-designed motherboards generate lots of
3764 bogus events, for ports that aren't wired to

3798 usbcore.use_both_schemes=
3799 [USB] Try the other device initialization scheme
3800 if the first one fails (default 1 = enabled).
3802 usbcore.initial_descriptor_timeout=
3803 [USB] Specifies timeout for the initial 64-byte
3804 USB_REQ_GET_DESCRIPTOR request in milliseconds
3805 (default 5000 = 5.0 seconds).

3880 On X86_32, this is an alias for vdso32=. Otherwise:
3882 vdso=1: enable VDSO (the default)
3883 vdso=0: disable VDSO mapping
3885 vdso32= [X86] Control the 32-bit vDSO
3886 vdso32=1: enable 32-bit VDSO
3887 vdso32=0 or vdso32=2: disable 32-bit VDSO
3889 See the help text for CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO for more
3890 details. If CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is set, the default is
3891 vdso32=0; otherwise, the default is vdso32=1.
3893 For compatibility with older kernels, vdso32=2 is an
3896 Try vdso32=0 if you encounter an error that says:
3897 dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
3900 vector=percpu: enable percpu vector domain
3902 video= [FB] Frame buffer configuration
3903 See Documentation/fb/modedb.txt.
3905 video.brightness_switch_enabled= [0,1]
3906 If set to 1, on receiving an ACPI notify event
3907 generated by hotkey, video driver will adjust brightness
3908 level and then send out the event to user space through
3909 the allocated input device; If set to 0, video driver
3910 will only send out the event without touching backlight
3915 [VMMIO] Memory mapped virtio (platform) device.
3917 <size>@<baseaddr>:<irq>[:<id>]
3919 <size> := size (can use standard suffixes
3921 <baseaddr> := physical base address
3922 <irq> := interrupt number (as passed to
3924 <id> := (optional) platform device id
3926 virtio_mmio.device=1K@0x100b0000:48:7
3928 Can be used multiple times for multiple devices.
3930 vga= [BOOT,X86-32] Select a particular video mode
3931 See Documentation/x86/boot.txt and
3932 Documentation/svga.txt.
3933 Use vga=ask for menu.
3934 This is actually a boot loader parameter; the value is
3935 passed to the kernel using a special protocol.
3937 vmalloc=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Forces the vmalloc area to have an exact
3938 size of <nn>. This can be used to increase the
3939 minimum size (128MB on x86). It can also be used to
3940 decrease the size and leave more room for directly
3943 vmhalt= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after system halt.
3946 vmpanic= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after kernel panic.
3949 vmpoff= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after power off.
3953 Controls the behavior of vsyscalls (i.e. calls to
3954 fixed addresses of 0xffffffffff600x00 from legacy
3955 code). Most statically-linked binaries and older
3956 versions of glibc use these calls. Because these
3957 functions are at fixed addresses, they make nice
3958 targets for exploits that can control RIP.
3960 emulate [default] Vsyscalls turn into traps and are
3961 emulated reasonably safely.
3963 native Vsyscalls are native syscall instructions.
3964 This is a little bit faster than trapping
3965 and makes a few dynamic recompilers work
3966 better than they would in emulation mode.
3967 It also makes exploits much easier to write.
3969 none Vsyscalls don't work at all. This makes
3970 them quite hard to use for exploits but
3971 might break your system.
3973 vt.color= [VT] Default text color.
3974 Format: 0xYX, X = foreground, Y = background.
3975 Default: 0x07 = light gray on black.

3978 Format: 0xCCBBAA, where AA, BB, and CC are the same as
3979 the parameters of the <Esc>[?A;B;Cc escape sequence;
3980 see VGA-softcursor.txt. Default: 2 = underline.
3982 vt.default_blu= [VT]
3983 Format: <blue0>,<blue1>,<blue2>,...,<blue15>

3991 This is a 16-member array composed of values
3994 vt.default_red= [VT]
3995 Format: <red0>,<red1>,<red2>,...,<red15>
3996 Change the default red palette of the console.
3997 This is a 16-member array composed of values
4003 Set system-wide default UTF-8 mode for all tty's.
4004 Default is 1, i.e. UTF-8 mode is enabled for all
4005 newly opened terminals.
4007 vt.global_cursor_default=
4010 Set system-wide default for whether a cursor
4011 is shown on new VTs. Default is -1,
4012 i.e. cursors will be created by default unless
4013 overridden by individual drivers. 0 will hide
4014 cursors, 1 will display them.
4016 vt.italic= [VT] Default color for italic text; 0-15.
4019 vt.underline= [VT] Default color for underlined text; 0-15.
4022 watchdog timers [HW,WDT] For information on watchdog timers,
4023 see Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt
4024 or other driver-specific files in the
4025 Documentation/watchdog/ directory.
4027 workqueue.disable_numa
4028 By default, all work items queued to unbound
4029 workqueues are affine to the NUMA nodes they're
4030 issued on, which results in better behavior in
4031 general. If NUMA affinity needs to be disabled for
4032 whatever reason, this option can be used. Note
4033 that this also can be controlled per-workqueue for
4034 workqueues visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/.
4036 workqueue.power_efficient
4037 Per-cpu workqueues are generally preferred because
4038 they show better performance thanks to cache
4039 locality; unfortunately, per-cpu workqueues tend to
4040 be more power hungry than unbound workqueues.
4042 Enabling this makes the per-cpu workqueues which
4043 were observed to contribute significantly to power
4044 consumption unbound, leading to measurably lower
4045 power usage at the cost of small performance
4048 The default value of this parameter is determined by
4049 the config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
4051 x2apic_phys [X86-64,APIC] Use x2apic physical mode instead of
4052 default x2apic cluster mode on platforms

4064 ide-disks -- unplug primary master IDE devices
4065 aux-ide-disks -- unplug non-primary-master IDE devices
4066 nics -- unplug network devices
4067 all -- unplug all emulated devices (NICs and IDE disks)
4068 unnecessary -- unplugging emulated devices is
4069 unnecessary even if the host did not respond to
4071 never -- do not unplug even if version check succeeds
4073 xen_nopvspin [X86,XEN]
4074 Disables the ticketlock slowpath using Xen PV
