158 The ARM series is a line of low-power-consumption RISC chip designs

189 size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
190 for larger buffers it just a waste of address space. Drivers which has
191 relatively small addressing window (like 64Mib) might run out of
192 virtual space with just a few allocations.
194 With this parameter you can specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for
195 DMA IOMMU buffers. Larger buffers will be aligned only to this
196 specified order. The order is expressed as a power of two multiplied

524 depends on CPU_PJ4B && MACH_ARMADA_370
527 When coming out of either a Wait for Interrupt (WFI) or a Wait for
528 Event (WFE) IDLE states, a specific timing sensitivity exists between
529 the retiring WFI/WFE instructions and the newly issued subsequent
530 instructions. This sensitivity can result in a CPU hang scenario.
532 The software must insert either a Data Synchronization Barrier (DSB)
533 or Data Memory Barrier (DMB) command immediately after the WFI/WFE
536 config ARM_ERRATA_326103
537 bool "ARM errata: FSR write bit incorrect on a SWP to read-only memory"
540 Executing a SWP instruction to read-only memory does not set bit 11
541 of the FSR on the ARM 1136 prior to r1p0. This causes the kernel to
542 treat the access as a read, preventing a COW from occurring and
543 causing the faulting task to livelock.
545 config ARM_ERRATA_411920
546 bool "ARM errata: Invalidation of the Instruction Cache operation can fail"
547 depends on CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K
549 Invalidation of the Instruction Cache operation can
550 fail. This erratum is present in 1136 (before r1p4), 1156 and 1176.
551 It does not affect the MPCore. This option enables the ARM Ltd.
552 recommended workaround.
554 config ARM_ERRATA_430973
555 bool "ARM errata: Stale prediction on replaced interworking branch"
558 This option enables the workaround for the 430973 Cortex-A8
559 r1p* erratum. If a code sequence containing an ARM/Thumb
560 interworking branch is replaced with another code sequence at the
561 same virtual address, whether due to self-modifying code or virtual
562 to physical address re-mapping, Cortex-A8 does not recover from the
563 stale interworking branch prediction. This results in Cortex-A8
564 executing the new code sequence in the incorrect ARM or Thumb state.
565 The workaround enables the BTB/BTAC operations by setting ACTLR.IBE
566 and also flushes the branch target cache at every context switch.
567 Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register may not be
568 available in non-secure mode.
570 config ARM_ERRATA_458693
571 bool "ARM errata: Processor deadlock when a false hazard is created"
573 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
575 This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
576 erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
577 possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
578 be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
579 hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
580 the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
581 in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
582 register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not
583 available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the
586 config ARM_ERRATA_460075
587 bool "ARM errata: Data written to the L2 cache can be overwritten with stale data"
589 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
591 This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
592 erratum. Any asynchronous access to the L2 cache may encounter a
593 situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost
594 and overwritten with stale memory contents from external memory. The
595 workaround disables the write-allocate mode for the L2 cache via the
596 ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register
597 may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on
598 a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader
601 config ARM_ERRATA_742230
602 bool "ARM errata: DMB operation may be faulty"
603 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
604 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
606 This option enables the workaround for the 742230 Cortex-A9
607 (r1p0..r2p2) erratum. Under rare circumstances, a DMB instruction
608 between two write operations may not ensure the correct visibility
609 ordering of the two writes. This workaround sets a specific bit in
610 the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9 which causes the DMB
611 instruction to behave as a DSB, ensuring the correct behaviour of
612 the two writes. Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics
613 register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not
614 available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the
617 config ARM_ERRATA_742231
618 bool "ARM errata: Incorrect hazard handling in the SCU may lead to data corruption"
619 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
620 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
622 This option enables the workaround for the 742231 Cortex-A9
623 (r2p0..r2p2) erratum. Under certain conditions, specific to the
624 Cortex-A9 MPCore micro-architecture, two CPUs working in SMP mode,
625 accessing some data located in the same cache line, may get corrupted
626 data due to bad handling of the address hazard when the line gets
627 replaced from one of the CPUs at the same time as another CPU is
628 accessing it. This workaround sets specific bits in the diagnostic
629 register of the Cortex-A9 which reduces the linefill issuing
630 capabilities of the processor. Note that setting specific bits in the
631 diagnostics register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus
632 is not available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by
633 the bootloader instead.
635 config ARM_ERRATA_643719
636 bool "ARM errata: LoUIS bit field in CLIDR register is incorrect"
637 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
640 This option enables the workaround for the 643719 Cortex-A9 (prior to
641 r1p0) erratum. On affected cores the LoUIS bit field of the CLIDR
642 register returns zero when it should return one. The workaround
643 corrects this value, ensuring cache maintenance operations which use
644 it behave as intended and avoiding data corruption.
646 config ARM_ERRATA_720789
647 bool "ARM errata: TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS operations can broadcast a faulty ASID"
650 This option enables the workaround for the 720789 Cortex-A9 (prior to
651 r2p0) erratum. A faulty ASID can be sent to the other CPUs for the
652 broadcasted CP15 TLB maintenance operations TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS.
653 As a consequence of this erratum, some TLB entries which should be
654 invalidated are not, resulting in an incoherency in the system page
655 tables. The workaround changes the TLB flushing routines to invalidate
656 entries regardless of the ASID.
658 config ARM_ERRATA_743622
659 bool "ARM errata: Faulty hazard checking in the Store Buffer may lead to data corruption"
661 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
663 This option enables the workaround for the 743622 Cortex-A9
664 (r2p*) erratum. Under very rare conditions, a faulty
665 optimisation in the Cortex-A9 Store Buffer may lead to data
666 corruption. This workaround sets a specific bit in the diagnostic
667 register of the Cortex-A9 which disables the Store Buffer
668 optimisation, preventing the defect from occurring. This has no
669 visible impact on the overall performance or power consumption of the
670 processor. Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics register
671 may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on a
672 multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader instead.
674 config ARM_ERRATA_751472
675 bool "ARM errata: Interrupted ICIALLUIS may prevent completion of broadcasted operation"
677 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
679 This option enables the workaround for the 751472 Cortex-A9 (prior
680 to r3p0) erratum. An interrupted ICIALLUIS operation may prevent the
681 completion of a following broadcasted operation if the second
682 operation is received by a CPU before the ICIALLUIS has completed,
683 potentially leading to corrupted entries in the cache or TLB.
684 Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics register may
685 not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on
686 a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader

690 bool "ARM errata: possible faulty MMU translations following an ASID switch"
693 This option enables the workaround for the 754322 Cortex-A9 (r2p*,
694 r3p*) erratum. A speculative memory access may cause a page table walk
695 which starts prior to an ASID switch but completes afterwards. This
696 can populate the micro-TLB with a stale entry which may be hit with
697 the new ASID. This workaround places two dsb instructions in the mm
698 switching code so that no page table walks can cross the ASID switch.

704 This option enables the workaround for the 754327 Cortex-A9 (prior to
705 r2p0) erratum. The Store Buffer does not have any automatic draining
706 mechanism and therefore a livelock may occur if an external agent
707 continuously polls a memory location waiting to observe an update.
708 This workaround defines cpu_relax() as smp_mb(), preventing correctly
709 written polling loops from denying visibility of updates to memory.

716 r0p2 erratum (possible cache data corruption with
717 hit-under-miss enabled). It sets the undocumented bit 31 in
718 the auxiliary control register and the FI bit in the control

728 affecting Cortex-A9 MPCore with two or more processors (all
729 current revisions). Under certain timing circumstances, a data
730 cache line maintenance operation by MVA targeting an Inner
731 Shareable memory region may fail to proceed up to either the
732 Point of Coherency or to the Point of Unification of the
733 system. This workaround adds a DSB instruction before the
734 relevant cache maintenance functions and sets a specific bit
735 in the diagnostic control register of the SCU.
737 config ARM_ERRATA_764319
738 bool "ARM errata: Read to DBGPRSR and DBGOSLSR may generate Undefined instruction"
741 This option enables the workaround for the 764319 Cortex-A9 erratum.
742 CP14 read accesses to the DBGPRSR and DBGOSLSR registers generate an
743 unexpected Undefined Instruction exception when the DBGSWENABLE
744 external pin is set to 0, even when the CP14 accesses are performed
745 from a privileged mode. This work around catches the exception in a
746 way the kernel does not stop execution.
748 config ARM_ERRATA_775420
749 bool "ARM errata: A data cache maintenance operation which aborts, might lead to deadlock"
752 This option enables the workaround for the 775420 Cortex-A9 (r2p2,
753 r2p6,r2p8,r2p10,r3p0) erratum. In case a data cache maintenance
754 operation aborts with MMU exception, it might cause the processor
755 to deadlock. This workaround puts DSB before executing ISB if

763 adequately shooting down all use of the old entries. This

773 (up to r0p4) erratum. In certain rare sequences of code, the
774 loop buffer may deliver incorrect instructions. This
775 workaround disables the loop buffer to avoid the erratum.

785 lead to either a data corruption or a CPU deadlock. Not fixed in
786 any Cortex-A12 cores yet.

796 (all revs) erratum. In very rare timing conditions, a sequence
797 of VMOV to Core registers instructions, for which the second
798 one is in the shadow of a branch or abort, can lead to a

1402 config ARCH_WANT_FLAT_DTB_INSTALL
1406 bool "Support for the traditional ATAGS boot data passing"
1409 This is the traditional way of passing data to the kernel at boot
1410 time. If you are solely relying on the flattened device tree (or
1411 the ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT option) then you may unselect this option
1412 to remove ATAGS support from your kernel binary.
1414 config DEPRECATED_PARAM_STRUCT
1415 bool "Provide old way to pass kernel parameters"
1418 This was deprecated in 2001 and announced to live on for 5 years.
1419 Some old boot loaders still use this way.

1422 # TEXT and BSS so we preserve their values in the config files.
1423 config ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT
1424 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
1427 The physical address at which the ROM-able zImage is to be
1428 placed in the target. Platforms which normally make use of
1429 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
1430 value in their defconfig file.
1432 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1434 config ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1435 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader BSS address"
1438 The base address of an area of read/write memory in the target
1439 for the ROM-able zImage which must be available while the
1440 decompressor is running. It must be large enough to hold the
1441 entire decompressed kernel plus an additional 128 KiB.
1442 Platforms which normally make use of ROM-able zImage formats
1443 normally set this to a suitable value in their defconfig file.
1445 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1448 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
1449 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1450 depends on !ARM_APPENDED_DTB && !XIP_KERNEL && !AUTO_ZRELADDR
1452 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
1453 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
1455 config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1456 bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1459 With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
1460 (DTB) appended to zImage
1461 (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
1463 This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
1464 systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
1465 the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
1467 Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
1468 this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
1469 look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
1470 to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
1471 if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
1472 location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
1475 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT
1476 bool "Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information"
1477 depends on ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1479 Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a DTB capable one, yet
1480 they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
1481 the kernel cmdline string, etc. Such information is dynamically
1482 provided by the bootloader and can't always be stored in a static
1483 DTB. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such
1484 bootloaders, this option allows zImage to extract the information
1485 from the ATAG list and store it at run time into the appended DTB.

1493 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1495 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader instead of
1496 the device tree bootargs property. If the boot loader doesn't provide
1497 any, the device tree bootargs property will be used.
1499 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_EXTEND
1500 bool "Extend with bootloader kernel arguments"
1502 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1503 appended to the the device tree bootargs property.
1508 string "Default kernel command string"
1511 On some architectures (e.g. CATS), there is currently no way
1512 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
1513 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
1514 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
1515 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
1518 prompt "Kernel command line type"
1519 depends on CMDLINE != ""
1520 default CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1522 config CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1523 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1525 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader. If
1526 the boot loader doesn't provide any, the default kernel command
1527 string provided in CMDLINE will be used.
1529 config CMDLINE_EXTEND
1530 bool "Extend bootloader kernel arguments"
1532 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1533 appended to the default kernel command string.
1535 config CMDLINE_FORCE
1536 bool "Always use the default kernel command string"
1538 Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
1539 loader passes other arguments to the kernel.
1540 This is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the
1541 command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel.
1545 bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
1546 depends on !ARM_LPAE && !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1547 depends on !ARM_PATCH_IDIV && !ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT && !SMP_ON_UP
1549 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
1550 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
1551 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
1552 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
1553 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
1554 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
1555 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
1556 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
1557 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
1558 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
1560 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
1561 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
1562 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.
1566 config XIP_PHYS_ADDR
1567 hex "XIP Kernel Physical Location"
1568 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1569 default "0x00080000"
1571 This is the physical address in your flash memory the kernel will
1572 be linked for and stored to. This address is dependent on your
1575 config XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
1576 bool "Store kernel .data section compressed in ROM"
1577 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1580 Before the kernel is actually executed, its .data section has to be
1581 copied to RAM from ROM. This option allows for storing that data
1582 in compressed form and decompressed to RAM rather than merely being
1583 copied, saving some precious ROM space. A possible drawback is a
1584 slightly longer boot delay.
1586 config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
1587 def_bool (!SMP || PM_SLEEP_SMP) && MMU
1590 bool "Export atags in procfs"
1591 depends on ATAGS && KEXEC
1594 Should the atags used to boot the kernel be exported in an "atags"
1595 file in procfs. Useful with kexec.
1597 config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
1600 config AUTO_ZRELADDR
1601 bool "Auto calculation of the decompressed kernel image address" if !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1602 default !(ARCH_FOOTBRIDGE || ARCH_RPC || ARCH_SA1100)
1604 ZRELADDR is the physical address where the decompressed kernel
1605 image will be placed. If AUTO_ZRELADDR is selected, the address
1606 will be determined at run-time, either by masking the current IP
1607 with 0xf8000000, or, if invalid, from the DTB passed in r2.
1608 This assumes the zImage being placed in the first 128MB from

1618 select EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
1620 select EFI_GENERIC_STUB
1621 select EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
1623 This option provides support for runtime services provided
1624 by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime
1625 clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to
1626 allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This
1627 is only useful for kernels that may run on systems that have
1631 bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables"
1635 This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems.
1637 This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
1638 However, even with this option, the resultant kernel should
1639 continue to boot on existing non-UEFI platforms.
1641 NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks,
1642 i.e., the the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to
1643 decide whether certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or
1644 firmware need to be enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem
1645 to be enabled much earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

1665 Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
1666 This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
1667 support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if
1668 your machine has an FPA or floating point co-processor podule.
1670 You may say N here if you are going to load the Acorn FPEmulator
1671 early in the bootup.
1674 bool "Support extended precision"
1675 depends on FPE_NWFPE
1677 Say Y to include 80-bit support in the kernel floating-point
1678 emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
1679 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
1680 so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
1681 floating point emulator without any good reason.
1683 You almost surely want to say N here.
1686 bool "FastFPE math emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1687 depends on (!AEABI || OABI_COMPAT) && !CPU_32v3
1689 Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
1690 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
1691 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
1692 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
1694 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
1695 for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.
