8 depends on IA64 || X86 || (ARM64 && EXPERT)
13 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
14 Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
15 and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
16 management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
19 Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
20 legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
21 the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
22 MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
23 Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
24 are configured, ACPI is used.
26 The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
27 <https://01.org/linux-acpi>
29 Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
30 Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
34 ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by
35 Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently,
36 it is developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under
37 the UEFI Forum and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute
38 to the ACPI specification.
39 The specification is available at:

67 bool "Deprecated power /proc/acpi directories"
68 depends on X86 && PROC_FS
70 For backwards compatibility, this option allows
71 deprecated power /proc/acpi/ directories to exist, even when
72 they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
73 The deprecated directories (and their replacements) include:
74 /proc/acpi/battery/* (/sys/class/power_supply/*)
75 /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/* (sys/class/power_supply/*)
76 This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ directories
77 and functions, which do not yet exist in /sys
78 This option, together with the proc directories, will be
79 deleted in the future.
81 Say N to delete power /proc/acpi/ directories that have moved to /sys/
83 config ACPI_REV_OVERRIDE_POSSIBLE
84 bool "Allow supported ACPI revision to be overriden"
88 The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as
89 the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration
90 information in a special way.
92 For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision,
93 Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA
94 mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux
95 until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user
98 This option enables a DMI-based quirk for the above Dell machine (so
99 that HDA audio is exposed by the platform firmware to the kernel) and
100 makes it possible to force the kernel to return "5" as the supported
101 ACPI revision via the "acpi_rev_override" command line switch.
103 config ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS
104 tristate "EC read/write access through /sys/kernel/debug/ec"
107 Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface
109 Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded
110 Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then
111 have to power off your system, and remove the laptop battery for
113 An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
114 sensor values like battery state and temperature.
115 The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
116 tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
118 Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
119 and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
122 tristate "AC Adapter"
127 This driver supports the AC Adapter object, which indicates
128 whether a system is on AC or not. If you have a system that can
129 switch between A/C and battery, say Y.
131 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
132 the module will be called ac.
140 This driver adds support for battery information through
141 /proc/acpi/battery. If you have a mobile system with a battery,
144 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
145 the module will be called battery.
152 This driver handles events on the power, sleep, and lid buttons.
153 A daemon reads events from input devices or via netlink and
154 performs user-defined actions such as shutting down the system.
155 This is necessary for software-controlled poweroff.
157 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
158 the module will be called button.
162 depends on X86 && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
166 This driver implements the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters
167 for integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in
168 ACPI 2.0 Specification, Appendix B. This supports basic operations
169 such as defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information,
170 and setting up a video output.
172 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
173 the module will be called video.
180 This driver supports ACPI fan devices, allowing user-mode
181 applications to perform basic fan control (on, off, status).
183 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
184 the module will be called fan.
189 This driver supports ACPI-controlled docking stations and removable
190 drive bays such as the IBM Ultrabay and the Dell Module Bay.
192 config ACPI_PROCESSOR
196 depends on X86 || IA64
199 This driver installs ACPI as the idle handler for Linux and uses
200 ACPI C2 and C3 processor states to save power on systems that
201 support it. It is required by several flavors of cpufreq
202 performance-state drivers.
204 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
205 the module will be called processor.
212 This driver enables the ACPI to access the BMC controller. And it
213 uses the IPMI request/response message to communicate with BMC
214 controller, which can be found on on the server.
216 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
217 the module will be called as acpi_ipmi.

222 select ACPI_CONTAINER
225 config ACPI_PROCESSOR_AGGREGATOR
226 tristate "Processor Aggregator"
227 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
230 ACPI 4.0 defines processor Aggregator, which enables OS to perform
231 specific processor configuration and control that applies to all
232 processors in the platform. Currently only logical processor idling
233 is defined, which is to reduce power consumption. This driver
234 supports the new device.
237 tristate "Thermal Zone"
238 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
242 This driver supports ACPI thermal zones. Most mobile and
243 some desktop systems support ACPI thermal zones. It is HIGHLY
244 recommended that this option be enabled, as your processor(s)
245 may be damaged without it.
247 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
248 the module will be called thermal.

256 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
257 string "Custom DSDT Table file to include"
259 depends on !STANDALONE
261 This option supports a custom DSDT by linking it into the kernel.
262 See Documentation/acpi/dsdt-override.txt
264 Enter the full path name to the file which includes the AmlCode
267 If unsure, don't enter a file name.

273 config ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE
274 bool "ACPI tables override via initrd"
275 depends on BLK_DEV_INITRD && X86
278 This option provides functionality to override arbitrary ACPI tables
279 via initrd. No functional change if no ACPI tables are passed via
280 initrd, therefore it's safe to say Y.
281 See Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt for details
284 bool "Debug Statements"
287 The ACPI subsystem can produce debug output. Saying Y enables this
288 output and increases the kernel size by around 50K.
290 Use the acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level kernel command-line
291 parameters documented in Documentation/acpi/debug.txt and
292 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to control the type and
293 amount of debug output.
296 bool "PCI slot detection driver"
300 This driver creates entries in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ for all PCI
301 slots in the system. This can help correlate PCI bus addresses,
302 i.e., segment/bus/device/function tuples, with physical slots in
303 the system. If you are unsure, say N.
306 bool "Power Management Timer Support" if EXPERT
310 The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
311 in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
313 This timing source is not affected by power management features
314 like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
315 voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
318 You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
319 systems require this timer.
321 config ACPI_CONTAINER
322 bool "Container and Module Devices"
323 default (ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY || ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU)
325 This driver supports ACPI Container and Module devices (IDs
326 ACPI0004, PNP0A05, and PNP0A06).
328 This helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory.
330 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
331 the module will be called container.
333 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY
334 bool "Memory Hotplug"
335 depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG
337 This driver supports ACPI memory hotplug. The driver
338 fields notifications on ACPI memory devices (PNP0C80),
339 which represent memory ranges that may be onlined or
340 offlined during runtime.
342 If your hardware and firmware do not support adding or
343 removing memory devices at runtime, you need not enable
346 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
347 the module will be called acpi_memhotplug.
349 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_IOAPIC
352 depends on X86_IO_APIC
356 tristate "Smart Battery System"
360 This driver supports the Smart Battery System, another
361 type of access to battery information, found on some laptops.
363 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
364 the modules will be called sbs and sbshc.
367 tristate "Hardware Error Device"
369 This driver supports the Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33),
370 which is used to report some hardware errors notified via
371 SCI, mainly the corrected errors.
373 config ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD
374 tristate "Allow ACPI methods to be inserted/replaced at run time"
378 This debug facility allows ACPI AML methods to be inserted and/or
379 replaced without rebooting the system. For details refer to:
380 Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt.
382 NOTE: This option is security sensitive, because it allows arbitrary
383 kernel memory to be written to by root (uid=0) users, allowing them
384 to bypass certain security measures (e.g. if root is not allowed to
385 load additional kernel modules after boot, this feature may be used
386 to override that restriction).
389 bool "Boottime Graphics Resource Table support"
390 depends on EFI && X86
392 This driver adds support for exposing the ACPI Boottime Graphics
393 Resource Table, which allows the operating system to obtain
394 data from the firmware boot splash. It will appear under
395 /sys/firmware/acpi/bgrt/ .
397 config ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE_ONLY
398 bool "Hardware-reduced ACPI support only" if EXPERT
401 This config item changes the way the ACPI code is built. When this
402 option is selected, the kernel will use a specialized version of
403 ACPICA that ONLY supports the ACPI "reduced hardware" mode. The
404 resulting kernel will be smaller but it will also be restricted to
405 running in ACPI reduced hardware mode ONLY.
407 If you are unsure what to do, do not enable this option.
410 tristate "ACPI NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT)"
411 depends on PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT
415 Infrastructure to probe ACPI 6 compliant platforms for
416 NVDIMMs (NFIT) and register a libnvdimm device tree. In
417 addition to storage devices this also enables libnvdimm to pass
418 ACPI._DSM messages for platform/dimm configuration.
420 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
421 the module will be called nfit.
423 config ACPI_NFIT_DEBUG
424 bool "NFIT DSM debug"
426 depends on DYNAMIC_DEBUG
429 Enabling this option causes the nfit driver to dump the
430 input and output buffers of _DSM operations on the ACPI0012
431 device and its children. This can be very verbose, so leave
432 it disabled unless you are debugging a hardware / firmware
435 source "drivers/acpi/apei/Kconfig"
438 tristate "Extended Error Log support"
439 depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
444 Certain usages such as Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) require
445 more information about the error than what can be described in
446 processor machine check banks. Most server processors log
447 additional information about the error in processor uncore
448 registers. Since the addresses and layout of these registers vary
449 widely from one processor to another, system software cannot
450 readily make use of them. To complicate matters further, some of
451 the additional error information cannot be constructed without
452 detailed knowledge about platform topology.
454 Enhanced MCA Logging allows firmware to provide additional error
455 information to system software, synchronous with MCE or CMCI. This
456 driver adds support for that functionality with corresponding
457 tracepoint which carries that information to userspace.
459 menuconfig PMIC_OPREGION
460 bool "PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) operation region support"
462 Select this option to enable support for ACPI operation
463 region of the PMIC chip. The operation region can be used
464 to control power rails and sensor reading/writing on the
468 config CRC_PMIC_OPREGION
469 bool "ACPI operation region support for CrystalCove PMIC"
470 depends on INTEL_SOC_PMIC
472 This config adds ACPI operation region support for CrystalCove PMIC.
474 config XPOWER_PMIC_OPREGION
475 bool "ACPI operation region support for XPower AXP288 PMIC"
476 depends on AXP288_ADC = y
478 This config adds ACPI operation region support for XPower AXP288 PMIC.
