187 size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
188 for larger buffers it just a waste of address space. Drivers which has

190 virtual space with just a few allocations.
192 With this parameter you can specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for

522 depends on CPU_PJ4B && MACH_ARMADA_370
525 When coming out of either a Wait for Interrupt (WFI) or a Wait for
526 Event (WFE) IDLE states, a specific timing sensitivity exists between
527 the retiring WFI/WFE instructions and the newly issued subsequent
528 instructions. This sensitivity can result in a CPU hang scenario.
530 The software must insert either a Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB)
531 or Data Memory Barrier (DMB) command immediately after the WFI/WFE
534 config ARM_ERRATA_326103
535 bool "ARM errata: FSR write bit incorrect on a SWP to read-only memory"
538 Executing a SWP instruction to read-only memory does not set bit 11
539 of the FSR on the ARM 1136 prior to r1p0. This causes the kernel to
540 treat the access as a read, preventing a COW from occurring and
541 causing the faulting task to livelock.
543 config ARM_ERRATA_411920
544 bool "ARM errata: Invalidation of the Instruction Cache operation can fail"
545 depends on CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K
547 Invalidation of the Instruction Cache operation can
548 fail. This erratum is present in 1136 (before r1p4), 1156 and 1176.
549 It does not affect the MPCore. This option enables the ARM Ltd.
550 recommended workaround.
552 config ARM_ERRATA_430973
553 bool "ARM errata: Stale prediction on replaced interworking branch"
556 This option enables the workaround for the 430973 Cortex-A8
557 r1p* erratum. If a code sequence containing an ARM/Thumb
558 interworking branch is replaced with another code sequence at the
559 same virtual address, whether due to self-modifying code or virtual
560 to physical address re-mapping, Cortex-A8 does not recover from the
561 stale interworking branch prediction. This results in Cortex-A8
562 executing the new code sequence in the incorrect ARM or Thumb state.
563 The workaround enables the BTB/BTAC operations by setting ACTLR.IBE
564 and also flushes the branch target cache at every context switch.
565 Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register may not be
566 available in non-secure mode.
568 config ARM_ERRATA_458693
569 bool "ARM errata: Processor deadlock when a false hazard is created"
571 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
573 This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
574 erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
575 possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
576 be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
577 hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
578 the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
579 in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
580 register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not
581 available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the
584 config ARM_ERRATA_460075
585 bool "ARM errata: Data written to the L2 cache can be overwritten with stale data"
587 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
589 This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
590 erratum. Any asynchronous access to the L2 cache may encounter a
591 situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost
592 and overwritten with stale memory contents from external memory. The
593 workaround disables the write-allocate mode for the L2 cache via the
594 ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register
595 may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on
596 a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader
599 config ARM_ERRATA_742230
600 bool "ARM errata: DMB operation may be faulty"
601 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
602 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
604 This option enables the workaround for the 742230 Cortex-A9
605 (r1p0..r2p2) erratum. Under rare circumstances, a DMB instruction
606 between two write operations may not ensure the correct visibility
607 ordering of the two writes. This workaround sets a specific bit in
608 the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9 which causes the DMB
609 instruction to behave as a DSB, ensuring the correct behaviour of
610 the two writes. Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics
611 register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not
612 available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the
615 config ARM_ERRATA_742231
616 bool "ARM errata: Incorrect hazard handling in the SCU may lead to data corruption"
617 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
618 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
620 This option enables the workaround for the 742231 Cortex-A9
621 (r2p0..r2p2) erratum. Under certain conditions, specific to the
622 Cortex-A9 MPCore micro-architecture, two CPUs working in SMP mode,
623 accessing some data located in the same cache line, may get corrupted
624 data due to bad handling of the address hazard when the line gets
625 replaced from one of the CPUs at the same time as another CPU is
626 accessing it. This workaround sets specific bits in the diagnostic
627 register of the Cortex-A9 which reduces the linefill issuing
628 capabilities of the processor. Note that setting specific bits in the
629 diagnostics register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus
630 is not available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by
631 the bootloader instead.
633 config ARM_ERRATA_643719
634 bool "ARM errata: LoUIS bit field in CLIDR register is incorrect"
635 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
638 This option enables the workaround for the 643719 Cortex-A9 (prior to
639 r1p0) erratum. On affected cores the LoUIS bit field of the CLIDR
640 register returns zero when it should return one. The workaround
641 corrects this value, ensuring cache maintenance operations which use
642 it behave as intended and avoiding data corruption.
644 config ARM_ERRATA_720789
645 bool "ARM errata: TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS operations can broadcast a faulty ASID"
648 This option enables the workaround for the 720789 Cortex-A9 (prior to
649 r2p0) erratum. A faulty ASID can be sent to the other CPUs for the
650 broadcasted CP15 TLB maintenance operations TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS.
651 As a consequence of this erratum, some TLB entries which should be
652 invalidated are not, resulting in an incoherency in the system page
653 tables. The workaround changes the TLB flushing routines to invalidate
654 entries regardless of the ASID.
656 config ARM_ERRATA_743622
657 bool "ARM errata: Faulty hazard checking in the Store Buffer may lead to data corruption"
659 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
661 This option enables the workaround for the 743622 Cortex-A9
662 (r2p*) erratum. Under very rare conditions, a faulty
663 optimisation in the Cortex-A9 Store Buffer may lead to data
664 corruption. This workaround sets a specific bit in the diagnostic
665 register of the Cortex-A9 which disables the Store Buffer
666 optimisation, preventing the defect from occurring. This has no
667 visible impact on the overall performance or power consumption of the
668 processor. Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics register
669 may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on a
670 multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader instead.
672 config ARM_ERRATA_751472
673 bool "ARM errata: Interrupted ICIALLUIS may prevent completion of broadcasted operation"
675 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
677 This option enables the workaround for the 751472 Cortex-A9 (prior

679 completion of a following broadcasted operation if the second

691 This option enables the workaround for the 754322 Cortex-A9 (r2p*,
692 r3p*) erratum. A speculative memory access may cause a page table walk
693 which starts prior to an ASID switch but completes afterwards. This
694 can populate the micro-TLB with a stale entry which may be hit with
695 the new ASID. This workaround places two dsb instructions in the mm

704 mechanism and therefore a livelock may occur if an external agent
705 continuously polls a memory location waiting to observe an update.

728 cache line maintenance operation by MVA targeting an Inner
729 Shareable memory region may fail to proceed up to either the
730 Point of Coherency or to the Point of Unification of the

741 unexpected Undefined Instruction exception when the DBGSWENABLE
742 external pin is set to 0, even when the CP14 accesses are performed

1407 This is the traditional way of passing data to the kernel at boot
1408 time. If you are solely relying on the flattened device tree (or
1409 the ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT option) then you may unselect this option
1410 to remove ATAGS support from your kernel binary.
1412 config DEPRECATED_PARAM_STRUCT
1413 bool "Provide old way to pass kernel parameters"
1416 This was deprecated in 2001 and announced to live on for 5 years.
1417 Some old boot loaders still use this way.

1421 config ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT
1422 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
1425 The physical address at which the ROM-able zImage is to be
1426 placed in the target. Platforms which normally make use of
1427 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
1428 value in their defconfig file.
1430 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1432 config ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1433 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader BSS address"
1436 The base address of an area of read/write memory in the target
1437 for the ROM-able zImage which must be available while the
1438 decompressor is running. It must be large enough to hold the
1439 entire decompressed kernel plus an additional 128 KiB.
1440 Platforms which normally make use of ROM-able zImage formats
1441 normally set this to a suitable value in their defconfig file.
1443 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1446 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
1447 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1448 depends on !ARM_APPENDED_DTB && !XIP_KERNEL && !AUTO_ZRELADDR
1450 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
1451 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
1453 config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1454 bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1457 With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
1458 (DTB) appended to zImage
1459 (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
1461 This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
1462 systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
1463 the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
1465 Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
1466 this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
1467 look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
1468 to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
1469 if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
1470 location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
1473 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT
1474 bool "Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information"
1475 depends on ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1477 Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a DTB capable one, yet
1478 they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
1479 the kernel cmdline string, etc. Such information is dynamically
1480 provided by the bootloader and can't always be stored in a static
1481 DTB. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such
1482 bootloaders, this option allows zImage to extract the information
1483 from the ATAG list and store it at run time into the appended DTB.

1491 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1493 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader instead of
1494 the device tree bootargs property. If the boot loader doesn't provide
1495 any, the device tree bootargs property will be used.

1500 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1501 appended to the the device tree bootargs property.
1506 string "Default kernel command string"
1509 On some architectures (e.g. CATS), there is currently no way
1510 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
1511 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
1512 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
1513 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).

1518 default CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1520 config CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1521 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1523 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader. If
1524 the boot loader doesn't provide any, the default kernel command
1525 string provided in CMDLINE will be used.
1527 config CMDLINE_EXTEND
1528 bool "Extend bootloader kernel arguments"
1530 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1531 appended to the default kernel command string.
1533 config CMDLINE_FORCE
1534 bool "Always use the default kernel command string"
1536 Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
1537 loader passes other arguments to the kernel.
1538 This is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the
1539 command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel.

1544 depends on !ARM_LPAE && !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1545 depends on !ARM_PATCH_IDIV && !ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT && !SMP_ON_UP
1547 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
1548 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
1549 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
1550 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
1551 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
1552 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
1553 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
1554 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
1555 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
1556 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
1558 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
1559 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
1560 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.

1570 be linked for and stored to. This address is dependent on your
1573 config XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
1574 bool "Store kernel .data section compressed in ROM"
1575 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1578 Before the kernel is actually executed, its .data section has to be
1579 copied to RAM from ROM. This option allows for storing that data
1580 in compressed form and decompressed to RAM rather than merely being
1581 copied, saving some precious ROM space. A possible drawback is a
1582 slightly longer boot delay.
1584 config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC

1588 bool "Export atags in procfs"

1592 Should the atags used to boot the kernel be exported in an "atags"
1593 file in procfs. Useful with kexec.

1598 config AUTO_ZRELADDR
1599 bool "Auto calculation of the decompressed kernel image address" if !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1600 default !(ARCH_FOOTBRIDGE || ARCH_RPC || ARCH_SA1100)
1602 ZRELADDR is the physical address where the decompressed kernel
1603 image will be placed. If AUTO_ZRELADDR is selected, the address
1604 will be determined at run-time, either by masking the current IP
1605 with 0xf8000000, or, if invalid, from the DTB passed in r2.
1606 This assumes the zImage being placed in the first 128MB from

1616 select EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
1618 select EFI_GENERIC_STUB
1619 select EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
1621 This option provides support for runtime services provided
1622 by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime
1623 clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to
1624 allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This
1625 is only useful for kernels that may run on systems that have
1629 bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables"
1633 This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems.
1635 This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
1636 However, even with this option, the resultant kernel should
1637 continue to boot on existing non-UEFI platforms.
1639 NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks,
1640 i.e., the the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to
1641 decide whether certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or
1642 firmware need to be enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem
1643 to be enabled much earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

1663 Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
1664 This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
1665 support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if
1666 your machine has an FPA or floating point co-processor podule.
1668 You may say N here if you are going to load the Acorn FPEmulator
1669 early in the bootup.

1673 depends on FPE_NWFPE
1675 Say Y to include 80-bit support in the kernel floating-point
1676 emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
1677 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
1678 so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
1679 floating point emulator without any good reason.
1681 You almost surely want to say N here.
1684 bool "FastFPE math emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1685 depends on (!AEABI || OABI_COMPAT) && !CPU_32v3
1687 Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
1688 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
1689 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
1690 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
1692 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
1693 for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.
