1706 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1707 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1708 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1709 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1710 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1711 coprocessor or this emulation.
1713 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1714 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1715 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1716 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1717 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1718 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1719 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1720 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1722 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1723 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1730 prompt "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" if EXPERT
1732 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1733 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1734 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1735 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1736 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1737 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1738 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1739 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1740 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1742 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1743 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1746 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1747 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1748 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1749 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1750 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1751 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1752 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1754 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1755 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1756 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1758 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1759 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

2109 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
2111 If the kernel is not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then bzImage
2112 will decompress itself to above physical address and run from there.
2113 Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where it has been loaded
2114 by the boot loader. The only exception is if it is loaded below the
2115 above physical address, in which case it will relocate itself there.
2117 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
2118 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
2119 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
2120 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
2121 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
2122 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
2123 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
2124 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
2126 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
2127 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
2128 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
2129 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of

2132 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
2133 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst
2134 for more details about crash dumps.

2147 bool "Build a relocatable kernel"
2150 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
2151 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
2152 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
2153 but are discarded at runtime.
2155 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
2156 must live at a different physical address than the primary
2159 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
2160 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
2161 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is used as the minimum location.
2163 config RANDOMIZE_BASE
2164 bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image (KASLR)"
2165 depends on RELOCATABLE
2168 In support of Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR),
2169 this randomizes the physical address at which the kernel image
2170 is decompressed and the virtual address where the kernel
2171 image is mapped, as a security feature that deters exploit
2172 attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel
2175 On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2176 randomized separately. The physical address will be anywhere
2177 between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The
2178 virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits
2179 of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space
2180 available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB.
2182 On 32-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2183 randomized together. They will be randomized from 16MB up to
2184 512MB (8 bits of entropy).
2186 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
2187 supported. If RDTSC is supported, its value is mixed into
2188 the entropy pool as well. If neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are
2189 supported, then entropy is read from the i8254 timer. The
2190 usable entropy is limited by the kernel being built using
2191 2GB addressing, and that PHYSICAL_ALIGN must be at a
2192 minimum of 2MB. As a result, only 10 bits of entropy are
2193 theoretically possible, but the implementations are further
2194 limited due to memory layouts.

2209 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
2210 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
2211 address which meets above alignment restriction.
2213 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
2214 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
2215 address aligned to above value and run from there.
2217 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
2218 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
2219 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
2220 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
2221 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
2222 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
2223 above alignment restrictions.
2225 On 32-bit this value must be a multiple of 0x2000. On 64-bit
2226 this value must be a multiple of 0x200000.

2245 makes exploits relying on predictable memory locations less reliable.
2247 The order of allocations remains unchanged. Entropy is generated in

2289 Certain buggy versions of glibc will crash if they are
2290 presented with a 32-bit vDSO that is not mapped at the address
2291 indicated in its segment table.
2293 The bug was introduced by f866314b89d56845f55e6f365e18b31ec978ec3a
2294 and fixed by 3b3ddb4f7db98ec9e912ccdf54d35df4aa30e04a and
2295 49ad572a70b8aeb91e57483a11dd1b77e31c4468. Glibc 2.3.3 is
2296 the only released version with the bug, but OpenSUSE 9
2297 contains a buggy "glibc 2.3.2".
2299 The symptom of the bug is that everything crashes on startup, saying:
2300 dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
2302 Saying Y here changes the default value of the vdso32 boot
2303 option from 1 to 0, which turns off the 32-bit vDSO entirely.
2304 This works around the glibc bug but hurts performance.
2306 If unsure, say N: if you are compiling your own kernel, you
2307 are unlikely to be using a buggy version of glibc.

2314 Legacy user code that does not know how to find the vDSO expects
2315 to be able to issue three syscalls by calling fixed addresses in
2316 kernel space. Since this location is not randomized with ASLR,
2317 it can be used to assist security vulnerability exploitation.
2319 This setting can be changed at boot time via the kernel command
2320 line parameter vsyscall=[emulate|xonly|none]. Emulate mode
2321 is deprecated and can only be enabled using the kernel command
2324 On a system with recent enough glibc (2.14 or newer) and no
2325 static binaries, you can say None without a performance penalty
2326 to improve security.
2328 If unsure, select "Emulate execution only".
2330 config LEGACY_VSYSCALL_XONLY
2331 bool "Emulate execution only"
2333 The kernel traps and emulates calls into the fixed vsyscall
2334 address mapping and does not allow reads. This
2335 configuration is recommended when userspace might use the
2336 legacy vsyscall area but support for legacy binary
2337 instrumentation of legacy code is not needed. It mitigates
2338 certain uses of the vsyscall area as an ASLR-bypassing
2341 config LEGACY_VSYSCALL_NONE
2344 There will be no vsyscall mapping at all. This will
2345 eliminate any risk of ASLR bypass due to the vsyscall
2346 fixed address mapping. Attempts to use the vsyscalls
2347 will be reported to dmesg, so that either old or
2348 malicious userspace programs can be identified.
2353 bool "Built-in kernel command line"
2355 Allow for specifying boot arguments to the kernel at
2356 build time. On some systems (e.g. embedded ones), it is
2357 necessary or convenient to provide some or all of the
2358 kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
2359 to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
2361 To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
2362 set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
2363 boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
2365 Systems with fully functional boot loaders (i.e. non-embedded)
2366 should leave this option set to 'N'.
2369 string "Built-in kernel command string"
2370 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
2373 Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel
2374 image and used at boot time. If the boot loader provides a
2375 command line at boot time, it is appended to this string to
2376 form the full kernel command line, when the system boots.
2378 However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to
2379 change this behavior.

2389 Set this option to 'Y' to have the kernel ignore the boot loader
2390 command line, and use ONLY the built-in command line.
2392 This is used to work around broken boot loaders. This should
2393 be set to 'N' under normal conditions.

2399 Linux can allow user programs to install a per-process x86
2400 Local Descriptor Table (LDT) using the modify_ldt(2) system
2401 call. This is required to run 16-bit or segmented code such as
2402 DOSEMU or some Wine programs. It is also used by some very old
2403 threading libraries.
2405 Enabling this feature adds a small amount of overhead to
2406 context switches and increases the low-level kernel attack
2407 surface. Disabling it removes the modify_ldt(2) system call.
2409 Saying 'N' here may make sense for embedded or server kernels.

2415 For historical reasons MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant which became
2416 already too small with AVX512 support. Add a mechanism to
2417 enforce strict checking of the sigaltstack size against the
2418 real size of the FPU frame. This option enables the check
2419 by default. It can also be controlled via the kernel command
2420 line option 'strict_sas_size' independent of this config
2421 switch. Enabling it might break existing applications which
2422 allocate a too small sigaltstack but 'work' because they
2423 never get a signal delivered.

2665 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2666 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2668 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for

2678 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2680 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER

2682 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2683 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2685 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2686 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get

2728 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
2729 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this

2731 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2732 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2733 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2734 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

2746 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

2798 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
2799 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
2800 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
2801 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
2802 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
2803 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

2858 There's no public spec for this chipset, and this functionality
2859 is known to be incomplete.
2861 You should say N unless you know you need this.
2864 bool "ISA bus support on modern systems" if EXPERT
2866 Expose ISA bus device drivers and options available for selection and
2867 configuration. Enable this option if your target machine has an ISA
2868 bus. ISA is an older system, displaced by PCI and newer bus
2869 architectures -- if your target machine is modern, it probably does
2870 not have an ISA bus.
2874 # x86_64 have no ISA slots, but can have ISA-style DMA.
2876 bool "ISA-style DMA support" if (X86_64 && EXPERT)
2879 Enables ISA-style DMA support for devices requiring such controllers.
2887 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
2888 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
2889 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
2890 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
2891 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
2894 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 support"
2896 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
2897 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
2898 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
2899 for other scx200_* drivers.
2901 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

2904 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 27MHz High-Resolution Timer Support"
2908 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
2909 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
2910 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
2911 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
2912 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

2964 bool "PCEngines ALIX System Support (LED setup)"
2967 This option enables system support for the PCEngines ALIX.
2968 At present this just sets up LEDs for GPIO control on
2969 ALIX2/3/6 boards. However, other system specific setup should
2972 Note: You must still enable the drivers for GPIO and LED support
2973 (GPIO_CS5535 & LEDS_GPIO) to actually use the LEDs
2975 Note: You have to set alix.force=1 for boards with Award BIOS.
2978 bool "Soekris Engineering net5501 System Support (LEDS, GPIO, etc)"
