1686 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1687 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1688 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1689 coprocessor or this emulation.
1691 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1692 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1693 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

1695 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1696 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1697 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you

1710 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1711 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1712 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1713 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1714 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1715 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1716 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1717 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1718 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1720 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1721 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1724 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1725 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1726 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1727 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1728 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1729 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1730 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1732 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1733 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1734 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1736 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll

2132 bool "Build a relocatable kernel"
2135 This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information
2136 so it can be loaded someplace besides the default 1MB.
2137 The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger,
2138 but are discarded at runtime.
2140 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
2141 must live at a different physical address than the primary
2144 Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
2145 it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
2146 (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is used as the minimum location.
2148 config RANDOMIZE_BASE
2149 bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image (KASLR)"
2150 depends on RELOCATABLE
2153 In support of Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR),
2154 this randomizes the physical address at which the kernel image
2155 is decompressed and the virtual address where the kernel
2156 image is mapped, as a security feature that deters exploit
2157 attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel
2160 On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2161 randomized separately. The physical address will be anywhere
2162 between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The
2163 virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits
2164 of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space
2165 available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB.
2167 On 32-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2168 randomized together. They will be randomized from 16MB up to
2169 512MB (8 bits of entropy).
2171 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
2172 supported. If RDTSC is supported, its value is mixed into
2173 the entropy pool as well. If neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are
2174 supported, then entropy is read from the i8254 timer. The
2175 usable entropy is limited by the kernel being built using
2176 2GB addressing, and that PHYSICAL_ALIGN must be at a
2177 minimum of 2MB. As a result, only 10 bits of entropy are
2178 theoretically possible, but the implementations are further
2179 limited due to memory layouts.

2192 range 0x200000 0x1000000 if X86_64
2194 This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address
2195 where kernel is loaded and run from. Kernel is compiled for an
2196 address which meets above alignment restriction.
2198 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
2199 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest
2200 address aligned to above value and run from there.
2202 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
2203 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
2204 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
2205 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
2206 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
2207 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
2208 above alignment restrictions.
2210 On 32-bit this value must be a multiple of 0x2000. On 64-bit
2211 this value must be a multiple of 0x200000.

2232 The order of allocations remains unchanged. Entropy is generated in

2274 Certain buggy versions of glibc will crash if they are
2275 presented with a 32-bit vDSO that is not mapped at the address
2276 indicated in its segment table.
2278 The bug was introduced by f866314b89d56845f55e6f365e18b31ec978ec3a
2279 and fixed by 3b3ddb4f7db98ec9e912ccdf54d35df4aa30e04a and
2280 49ad572a70b8aeb91e57483a11dd1b77e31c4468. Glibc 2.3.3 is
2281 the only released version with the bug, but OpenSUSE 9
2282 contains a buggy "glibc 2.3.2".
2284 The symptom of the bug is that everything crashes on startup, saying:
2285 dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
2287 Saying Y here changes the default value of the vdso32 boot
2288 option from 1 to 0, which turns off the 32-bit vDSO entirely.
2289 This works around the glibc bug but hurts performance.
2291 If unsure, say N: if you are compiling your own kernel, you
2292 are unlikely to be using a buggy version of glibc.
2295 prompt "vsyscall table for legacy applications"

2299 Legacy user code that does not know how to find the vDSO expects
2300 to be able to issue three syscalls by calling fixed addresses in
2301 kernel space. Since this location is not randomized with ASLR,
2302 it can be used to assist security vulnerability exploitation.
2304 This setting can be changed at boot time via the kernel command
2305 line parameter vsyscall=[emulate|xonly|none]. Emulate mode
2306 is deprecated and can only be enabled using the kernel command
2309 On a system with recent enough glibc (2.14 or newer) and no
2310 static binaries, you can say None without a performance penalty
2311 to improve security.
2313 If unsure, select "Emulate execution only".
2315 config LEGACY_VSYSCALL_XONLY
2316 bool "Emulate execution only"
2318 The kernel traps and emulates calls into the fixed vsyscall
2319 address mapping and does not allow reads. This
2320 configuration is recommended when userspace might use the
2321 legacy vsyscall area but support for legacy binary
2322 instrumentation of legacy code is not needed. It mitigates
2323 certain uses of the vsyscall area as an ASLR-bypassing
2326 config LEGACY_VSYSCALL_NONE
2329 There will be no vsyscall mapping at all. This will
2330 eliminate any risk of ASLR bypass due to the vsyscall
2331 fixed address mapping. Attempts to use the vsyscalls
2332 will be reported to dmesg, so that either old or
2333 malicious userspace programs can be identified.
2338 bool "Built-in kernel command line"
2340 Allow for specifying boot arguments to the kernel at
2341 build time. On some systems (e.g. embedded ones), it is
2342 necessary or convenient to provide some or all of the
2343 kernel boot arguments with the kernel itself (that is,
2344 to not rely on the boot loader to provide them.)
2346 To compile command line arguments into the kernel,
2347 set this option to 'Y', then fill in the
2348 boot arguments in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
2350 Systems with fully functional boot loaders (i.e. non-embedded)
2351 should leave this option set to 'N'.
2354 string "Built-in kernel command string"
2355 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
2358 Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel
2359 image and used at boot time. If the boot loader provides a
2360 command line at boot time, it is appended to this string to
2361 form the full kernel command line, when the system boots.
2363 However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to
2364 change this behavior.
2366 In most cases, the command line (whether built-in or provided
2367 by the boot loader) should specify the device for the root

2372 depends on CMDLINE_BOOL && CMDLINE != ""
2374 Set this option to 'Y' to have the kernel ignore the boot loader
2375 command line, and use ONLY the built-in command line.
2377 This is used to work around broken boot loaders. This should
2378 be set to 'N' under normal conditions.

2384 Linux can allow user programs to install a per-process x86
2385 Local Descriptor Table (LDT) using the modify_ldt(2) system
2386 call. This is required to run 16-bit or segmented code such as
2387 DOSEMU or some Wine programs. It is also used by some very old
2388 threading libraries.
2390 Enabling this feature adds a small amount of overhead to
2391 context switches and increases the low-level kernel attack
2392 surface. Disabling it removes the modify_ldt(2) system call.
2394 Saying 'N' here may make sense for embedded or server kernels.
2396 config STRICT_SIGALTSTACK_SIZE
2397 bool "Enforce strict size checking for sigaltstack"
2398 depends on DYNAMIC_SIGFRAME
2400 For historical reasons MINSIGSTKSZ is a constant which became
2401 already too small with AVX512 support. Add a mechanism to
2402 enforce strict checking of the sigaltstack size against the
2403 real size of the FPU frame. This option enables the check
2404 by default. It can also be controlled via the kernel command
2405 line option 'strict_sas_size' independent of this config
2406 switch. Enabling it might break existing applications which
2407 allocate a too small sigaltstack but 'work' because they
2408 never get a signal delivered.

2623 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2624 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2625 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2626 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2627 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2628 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2630 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2631 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2633 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2634 machines with more than one CPU.
2636 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location

2642 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2643 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2645 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2646 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2647 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2648 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2650 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2651 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get

2690 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
2691 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically

2693 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
2694 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2695 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2696 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2697 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2698 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2699 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2700 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

2709 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
2710 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
2711 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
2712 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

2722 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
2723 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
2724 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

2823 There's no public spec for this chipset, and this functionality
2824 is known to be incomplete.
2826 You should say N unless you know you need this.
2829 bool "ISA bus support on modern systems" if EXPERT
2831 Expose ISA bus device drivers and options available for selection and
2832 configuration. Enable this option if your target machine has an ISA
2833 bus. ISA is an older system, displaced by PCI and newer bus
2834 architectures -- if your target machine is modern, it probably does
2835 not have an ISA bus.
2839 # x86_64 have no ISA slots, but can have ISA-style DMA.
2841 bool "ISA-style DMA support" if (X86_64 && EXPERT)
2844 Enables ISA-style DMA support for devices requiring such controllers.
2852 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
2853 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
2854 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
2855 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
2856 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
2859 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 support"
2861 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
2862 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
2863 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
2864 for other scx200_* drivers.
2866 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

2869 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 27MHz High-Resolution Timer Support"
2873 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
2874 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
2875 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
2876 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
2877 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.
