896 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
897 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
899 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
900 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
901 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
902 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
903 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
904 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
905 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
906 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
907 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring

1436 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1437 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1438 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1439 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1440 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1441 coprocessor or this emulation.
1443 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1444 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1445 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1446 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1447 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1448 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1449 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1450 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1452 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1453 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1462 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1463 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1464 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1465 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1466 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1467 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1468 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1469 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1470 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1472 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1473 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1476 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1477 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1478 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1479 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1480 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1481 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1482 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1484 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1485 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1486 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1488 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll

1568 This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are
1569 available (such as the EFI variable services).
1571 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware.
1572 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available
1573 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage
1574 of EFI runtime services. However, even with this option, the
1575 resultant kernel should continue to boot on existing non-EFI

1591 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1592 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

1594 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1595 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1596 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1597 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled

1606 bool "kexec system call"
1608 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1609 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1610 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1611 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1613 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1615 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1616 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1617 initially work for you. As of this writing the exact hardware

1625 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1626 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1627 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1628 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1629 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1630 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1631 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1632 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1646 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1648 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1649 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1650 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1651 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1654 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1655 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1656 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1657 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1658 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1659 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1660 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1661 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1663 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1664 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1665 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1666 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1667 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1668 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1669 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1670 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1671 for more details about crash dumps.
1673 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1674 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1675 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1676 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1677 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1678 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1684 bool "Build a relocatable kernel"
1687 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1688 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1689 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1690 but are discarded at runtime.
1692 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1693 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1696 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1697 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address

1711 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
1712 supported. If RDTSC is supported, it is used as well. If
1713 neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are supported, then randomness is
1714 read from the i8254 timer.
1716 The kernel will be offset by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET,
1717 and aligned according to PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Since the kernel is
1718 built using 2GiB addressing, and PHYSICAL_ALGIN must be at a
1719 minimum of 2MiB, only 10 bits of entropy is theoretically
1720 possible. At best, due to page table layouts, 64-bit can use
1721 9 bits of entropy and 32-bit uses 8 bits.

1739 On 32-bit this is limited to 512MiB by page table layouts. The
1742 On 64-bit this is limited by how the kernel fixmap page table is
1743 positioned, so this cannot be larger than 1GiB currently. Without
1744 RANDOMIZE_BASE, there is a 512MiB to 1.5GiB split between kernel
1745 and modules. When RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET is above 512MiB, the
1746 modules area will shrink to compensate, up to the current maximum
1747 1GiB to 1GiB split. The default is 1GiB.

1933 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1934 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1935 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1936 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1938 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1939 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1941 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1942 machines with more than one CPU.
1944 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location

1950 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off

1953 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1954 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1955 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1956 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.

2001 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
2002 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2003 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2004 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2005 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2006 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2007 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2008 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

2019 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

2030 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
2031 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
2032 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

2266 This option enables system support for the PCEngines ALIX.
2267 At present this just sets up LEDs for GPIO control on
2268 ALIX2/3/6 boards. However, other system specific setup should
2271 Note: You must still enable the drivers for GPIO and LED support
2272 (GPIO_CS5535 & LEDS_GPIO) to actually use the LEDs
2274 Note: You have to set alix.force=1 for boards with Award BIOS.

2319 bool "Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer"
2321 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2322 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2323 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2324 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2326 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2327 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2328 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2329 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2330 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2331 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2332 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2334 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2335 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2336 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2337 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2338 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2339 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2340 incompatible with simplefb.

2372 Include code to run binaries for the x32 native 32-bit ABI
2373 for 64-bit processors. An x32 process gets access to the
2374 full 64-bit register file and wide data path while leaving
2375 pointers at 32 bits for smaller memory footprint.
