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

938 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
939 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
941 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
942 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
943 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
944 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
945 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
946 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
947 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
948 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
949 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring

1509 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1510 coprocessor or this emulation.
1512 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you

1534 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1535 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1536 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1537 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a

1547 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1548 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1549 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1550 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1551 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1553 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1554 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1555 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1557 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1558 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1639 memory references. It is designed to detect buffer
1640 overflow or underflow bugs.
1642 This option enables running applications which are

1644 itself inside the kernel or to protect the kernel
1645 against bad memory references.
1647 Enabling this option will make the kernel larger:
1648 ~8k of kernel text and 36 bytes of data on a 64-bit
1649 defconfig. It adds a long to the 'mm_struct' which
1650 will increase the kernel memory overhead of each

1703 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

1705 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1706 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1707 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is

1722 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1724 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1726 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1727 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not

1751 verified, kexec_file_load() will fail.
1753 This option enforces signature verification at generic level.
1754 One needs to enable signature verification for type of kernel

1772 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1773 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1774 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1775 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1776 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1777 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1778 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1794 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1795 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1796 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1797 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1800 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1801 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1802 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1803 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1804 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1805 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1806 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1807 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1809 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1810 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1811 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1812 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1813 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1814 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1815 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1816 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1817 for more details about crash dumps.
1819 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1820 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1821 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1822 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1823 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1824 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1830 bool "Build a relocatable kernel"
1833 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
1834 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
1835 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
1836 but are discarded at runtime.
1838 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1839 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1842 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
1843 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
1844 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is used as the minimum location.

1847 bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image"
1848 depends on RELOCATABLE
1851 Randomizes the physical and virtual address at which the

1853 deters exploit attempts relying on knowledge of the location
1854 of kernel internals.
1856 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
1857 supported. If RDTSC is supported, it is used as well. If
1858 neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are supported, then randomness is
1859 read from the i8254 timer.
1861 The kernel will be offset by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET,
1862 and aligned according to PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Since the kernel is
1863 built using 2GiB addressing, and PHYSICAL_ALGIN must be at a
1864 minimum of 2MiB, only 10 bits of entropy is theoretically
1865 possible. At best, due to page table layouts, 64-bit can use
1866 9 bits of entropy and 32-bit uses 8 bits.

1880 be applied to the kernel when kernel Address Space Layout

1884 On 32-bit this is limited to 512MiB by page table layouts. The
1887 On 64-bit this is limited by how the kernel fixmap page table is
1888 positioned, so this cannot be larger than 1GiB currently. Without
1889 RANDOMIZE_BASE, there is a 512MiB to 1.5GiB split between kernel
1890 and modules. When RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET is above 512MiB, the
1891 modules area will shrink to compensate, up to the current maximum
1892 1GiB to 1GiB split. The default is 1GiB.

2102 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2104 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for

2114 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2116 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2117 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2118 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2119 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2121 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't

2167 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2168 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2169 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2170 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

2182 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

2193 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight

2195 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
2196 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

2201 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
2203 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
2204 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
2205 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
2206 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
2207 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
2208 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

2228 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside

2234 depends on X86_32 && PCI
2237 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
2238 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
2239 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
2240 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
2241 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
2243 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
2244 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
2245 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
2246 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
2247 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
2248 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
2249 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

2329 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
2330 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
2331 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
2332 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
2333 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
2339 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
2340 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
2342 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
2343 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
2344 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
2345 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

2484 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,

2486 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2487 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2489 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2490 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2491 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2492 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2493 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2494 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2495 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2497 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2498 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2499 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2500 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2501 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
