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

937 Executing a SWP instruction to read-only memory does not set bit 11
938 of the FSR on the ARM 1136 prior to r1p0. This causes the kernel to
939 treat the access as a read, preventing a COW from occurring and

947 fail. This erratum is present in 1136 (before r1p4), 1156 and 1176.
948 It does not affect the MPCore. This option enables the ARM Ltd.
949 recommended workaround.
951 config ARM_ERRATA_430973
952 bool "ARM errata: Stale prediction on replaced interworking branch"
955 This option enables the workaround for the 430973 Cortex-A8
956 r1p* erratum. If a code sequence containing an ARM/Thumb
957 interworking branch is replaced with another code sequence at the
958 same virtual address, whether due to self-modifying code or virtual
959 to physical address re-mapping, Cortex-A8 does not recover from the
960 stale interworking branch prediction. This results in Cortex-A8
961 executing the new code sequence in the incorrect ARM or Thumb state.
962 The workaround enables the BTB/BTAC operations by setting ACTLR.IBE
963 and also flushes the branch target cache at every context switch.
964 Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register may not be
965 available in non-secure mode.

968 bool "ARM errata: Processor deadlock when a false hazard is created"
970 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
972 This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
973 erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
974 possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
975 be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
976 hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
977 the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
978 in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
979 register may not be available in non-secure mode.

982 bool "ARM errata: Data written to the L2 cache can be overwritten with stale data"
984 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
986 This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
987 erratum. Any asynchronous access to the L2 cache may encounter a
988 situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost
989 and overwritten with stale memory contents from external memory. The
990 workaround disables the write-allocate mode for the L2 cache via the
991 ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register
992 may not be available in non-secure mode.

1000 (r1p0..r2p2) erratum. Under rare circumstances, a DMB instruction
1001 between two write operations may not ensure the correct visibility
1002 ordering of the two writes. This workaround sets a specific bit in
1003 the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9 which causes the DMB
1004 instruction to behave as a DSB, ensuring the correct behaviour of

1010 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1012 This option enables the workaround for the 742231 Cortex-A9
1013 (r2p0..r2p2) erratum. Under certain conditions, specific to the
1014 Cortex-A9 MPCore micro-architecture, two CPUs working in SMP mode,
1015 accessing some data located in the same cache line, may get corrupted
1016 data due to bad handling of the address hazard when the line gets
1017 replaced from one of the CPUs at the same time as another CPU is
1018 accessing it. This workaround sets specific bits in the diagnostic
1019 register of the Cortex-A9 which reduces the linefill issuing
1020 capabilities of the processor.

1023 bool "ARM errata: LoUIS bit field in CLIDR register is incorrect"
1024 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
1027 This option enables the workaround for the 643719 Cortex-A9 (prior to
1028 r1p0) erratum. On affected cores the LoUIS bit field of the CLIDR
1029 register returns zero when it should return one. The workaround
1030 corrects this value, ensuring cache maintenance operations which use
1031 it behave as intended and avoiding data corruption.
1033 config ARM_ERRATA_720789
1034 bool "ARM errata: TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS operations can broadcast a faulty ASID"
1037 This option enables the workaround for the 720789 Cortex-A9 (prior to
1038 r2p0) erratum. A faulty ASID can be sent to the other CPUs for the
1039 broadcasted CP15 TLB maintenance operations TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS.
1040 As a consequence of this erratum, some TLB entries which should be
1041 invalidated are not, resulting in an incoherency in the system page
1042 tables. The workaround changes the TLB flushing routines to invalidate
1043 entries regardless of the ASID.

1051 (r2p*) erratum. Under very rare conditions, a faulty
1052 optimisation in the Cortex-A9 Store Buffer may lead to data
1053 corruption. This workaround sets a specific bit in the diagnostic

1064 This option enables the workaround for the 751472 Cortex-A9 (prior
1065 to r3p0) erratum. An interrupted ICIALLUIS operation may prevent the
1066 completion of a following broadcasted operation if the second
1067 operation is received by a CPU before the ICIALLUIS has completed,
1068 potentially leading to corrupted entries in the cache or TLB.
1070 config ARM_ERRATA_754322
1071 bool "ARM errata: possible faulty MMU translations following an ASID switch"
1074 This option enables the workaround for the 754322 Cortex-A9 (r2p*,
1075 r3p*) erratum. A speculative memory access may cause a page table walk
1076 which starts prior to an ASID switch but completes afterwards. This
1077 can populate the micro-TLB with a stale entry which may be hit with
1078 the new ASID. This workaround places two dsb instructions in the mm
1079 switching code so that no page table walks can cross the ASID switch.
1081 config ARM_ERRATA_754327
1082 bool "ARM errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"

1085 This option enables the workaround for the 754327 Cortex-A9 (prior to
1086 r2p0) erratum. The Store Buffer does not have any automatic draining
1087 mechanism and therefore a livelock may occur if an external agent
1088 continuously polls a memory location waiting to observe an update.
1089 This workaround defines cpu_relax() as smp_mb(), preventing correctly

1097 r0p2 erratum (possible cache data corruption with
1098 hit-under-miss enabled). It sets the undocumented bit 31 in
1099 the auxiliary control register and the FI bit in the control

1109 affecting Cortex-A9 MPCore with two or more processors (all
1110 current revisions). Under certain timing circumstances, a data
1111 cache line maintenance operation by MVA targeting an Inner
1112 Shareable memory region may fail to proceed up to either the
1113 Point of Coherency or to the Point of Unification of the
1114 system. This workaround adds a DSB instruction before the
1115 relevant cache maintenance functions and sets a specific bit
1116 in the diagnostic control register of the SCU.
1118 config ARM_ERRATA_775420
1119 bool "ARM errata: A data cache maintenance operation which aborts, might lead to deadlock"
1122 This option enables the workaround for the 775420 Cortex-A9 (r2p2,
1123 r2p6,r2p8,r2p10,r3p0) erratum. In case a date cache maintenance
1124 operation aborts with MMU exception, it might cause the processor

1132 On Cortex-A15 (r0p0..r3p2) the TLBI*IS/DSB operations are not
1133 adequately shooting down all use of the old entries. This

1153 instruction might deadlock. Fixed in r0p1.
1154 - Cortex-A12 852422: Execution of a sequence of instructions might
1155 lead to either a data corruption or a CPU deadlock. Not fixed in
1156 any Cortex-A12 cores yet.
1157 This workaround for all both errata involves setting bit[12] of the

1166 (all revs) erratum. In very rare timing conditions, a sequence
1167 of VMOV to Core registers instructions, for which the second

1555 space environment that is also compiled with EABI.
1557 Since there are major incompatibilities between the legacy ABI and

1606 bool "High Memory Support"
1609 The address space of ARM processors is only 4 Gigabytes large
1610 and it has to accommodate user address space, kernel address
1611 space as well as some memory mapped IO. That means that, if you
1612 have a large amount of physical memory and/or IO, not all of the
1613 memory can be "permanently mapped" by the kernel. The physical
1614 memory that is not permanently mapped is called "high memory".
1616 Depending on the selected kernel/user memory split, minimum
1617 vmalloc space and actual amount of RAM, you may not need this
1618 option which should result in a slightly faster kernel.
1623 bool "Allocate 2nd-level pagetables from highmem" if EXPERT
1627 The VM uses one page of physical memory for each page table.
1628 For systems with a lot of processes, this can use a lot of
1629 precious low memory, eventually leading to low memory being
1630 consumed by page tables. Setting this option will allow
1631 user-space 2nd level page tables to reside in high memory.
1633 config CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
1634 bool "Enable use of CPU domains to implement privileged no-access"
1635 depends on MMU && !ARM_LPAE
1638 Increase kernel security by ensuring that normal kernel accesses
1639 are unable to access userspace addresses. This can help prevent
1640 use-after-free bugs becoming an exploitable privilege escalation
1641 by ensuring that magic values (such as LIST_POISON) will always
1642 fault when dereferenced.
1644 CPUs with low-vector mappings use a best-efforts implementation.
1645 Their lower 1MB needs to remain accessible for the vectors, but
1646 the remainder of userspace will become appropriately inaccessible.

1664 bool "Use PLTs to allow module memory to spill over into vmalloc area"
1668 Allocate PLTs when loading modules so that jumps and calls whose
1669 targets are too far away for their relative offsets to be encoded
1670 in the instructions themselves can be bounced via veneers in the
1671 module's PLT. This allows modules to be allocated in the generic
1672 vmalloc area after the dedicated module memory area has been
1673 exhausted. The modules will use slightly more memory, but after
1674 rounding up to page size, the actual memory footprint is usually
1677 Disabling this is usually safe for small single-platform
1678 configurations. If unsure, say y.

1681 int "Maximum zone order"
1682 default "12" if SOC_AM33XX

1686 The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
1687 blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
1688 pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
1689 keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
1690 blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
1691 increase this value.
1693 This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example,
1694 a value of 11 means that the largest free memory block is 2^10 pages.

1700 select HAVE_PROC_CPU if PROC_FS
1702 ARM processors cannot fetch/store information which is not
1703 naturally aligned on the bus, i.e., a 4 byte fetch must start at an
1704 address divisible by 4. On 32-bit ARM processors, these non-aligned
1705 fetch/store instructions will be emulated in software if you say
1706 here, which has a severe performance impact. This is necessary for
1707 correct operation of some network protocols. With an IP-only
1708 configuration it is safe to say N, otherwise say Y.
1710 config UACCESS_WITH_MEMCPY
1711 bool "Use kernel mem{cpy,set}() for {copy_to,clear}_user()"
1713 default y if CPU_FEROCEON
1715 Implement faster copy_to_user and clear_user methods for CPU
1716 cores where a 8-word STM instruction give significantly higher
1717 memory write throughput than a sequence of individual 32bit stores.
1719 A possible side effect is a slight increase in scheduling latency
1720 between threads sharing the same address space if they invoke
1721 such copy operations with large buffers.
1723 However, if the CPU data cache is using a write-allocate mode,
1724 this option is unlikely to provide any performance gain.
1728 prompt "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
1730 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
1731 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
1732 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
1733 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
1734 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1735 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1736 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled
1737 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
1738 defined by each seccomp mode.
1741 bool "Enable paravirtualization code"
1743 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
1744 under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
1745 over full virtualization.
1747 config PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING
1748 bool "Paravirtual steal time accounting"
1751 Select this option to enable fine granularity task steal time
1752 accounting. Time spent executing other tasks in parallel with
1753 the current vCPU is discounted from the vCPU power. To account for
1754 that, there can be a small performance impact.

1778 depends on GCC_PLUGINS && STACKPROTECTOR && SMP && !XIP_DEFLATED_DATA

1782 Due to the fact that GCC uses an ordinary symbol reference from
1783 which to load the value of the stack canary, this value can only
1784 change at reboot time on SMP systems, and all tasks running in the
1785 kernel's address space are forced to use the same canary value for
1786 the entire duration that the system is up.
1788 Enable this option to switch to a different method that uses a
1789 different canary value for each task.

1803 bool "Support for the traditional ATAGS boot data passing" if USE_OF
1806 This is the traditional way of passing data to the kernel at boot
1807 time. If you are solely relying on the flattened device tree (or
1808 the ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT option) then you may unselect this option
1809 to remove ATAGS support from your kernel binary. If unsure,

1836 The base address of an area of read/write memory in the target
1837 for the ROM-able zImage which must be available while the
1838 decompressor is running. It must be large enough to hold the
1839 entire decompressed kernel plus an additional 128 KiB.
1840 Platforms which normally make use of ROM-able zImage formats
1841 normally set this to a suitable value in their defconfig file.
1843 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1846 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
1847 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1848 depends on !ARM_APPENDED_DTB && !XIP_KERNEL && !AUTO_ZRELADDR
1850 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
1851 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
1853 config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1854 bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1857 With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
1858 (DTB) appended to zImage
1859 (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
1861 This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
1862 systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
1863 the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
1865 Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
1866 this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
1867 look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
1868 to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
1869 if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
1870 location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
1873 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT
1874 bool "Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information"
1875 depends on ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1877 Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a DTB capable one, yet
1878 they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
1879 the kernel cmdline string, etc. Such information is dynamically
1880 provided by the bootloader and can't always be stored in a static
1881 DTB. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such
1882 bootloaders, this option allows zImage to extract the information
1883 from the ATAG list and store it at run time into the appended DTB.

1905 string "Default kernel command string"
1908 On some architectures (EBSA110 and CATS), there is currently no way
1909 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
1910 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
1911 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
1912 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).

1924 string provided in CMDLINE will be used.
1926 config CMDLINE_EXTEND

1932 config CMDLINE_FORCE
1933 bool "Always use the default kernel command string"
1935 Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
1936 loader passes other arguments to the kernel.

1938 command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel.
1942 bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
1943 depends on !ARM_LPAE && !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1945 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
1946 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
1947 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
1948 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
1949 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
1950 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
1951 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
1952 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
1953 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
1954 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
1956 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
1957 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
1958 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.

1971 config XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
1972 bool "Store kernel .data section compressed in ROM"
1973 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1976 Before the kernel is actually executed, its .data section has to be
1977 copied to RAM from ROM. This option allows for storing that data
1978 in compressed form and decompressed to RAM rather than merely being
1979 copied, saving some precious ROM space. A possible drawback is a
1980 slightly longer boot delay.
1983 bool "Kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1984 depends on (!SMP || PM_SLEEP_SMP)
1988 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1989 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1990 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1991 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1993 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1994 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1995 initially work for you.
1998 bool "Export atags in procfs"
1999 depends on ATAGS && KEXEC
2002 Should the atags used to boot the kernel be exported in an "atags"
2003 file in procfs. Useful with kexec.
2006 bool "Build kdump crash kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
2008 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec. This should
2009 be normally only set in special crash dump kernels which are
2010 loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into a specially
2011 reserved region and then later executed after a crash by
2012 kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled to a
2013 memory address not used by the main kernel

2017 config AUTO_ZRELADDR
2018 bool "Auto calculation of the decompressed kernel image address"
2020 ZRELADDR is the physical address where the decompressed kernel
2021 image will be placed. If AUTO_ZRELADDR is selected, the address
2022 will be determined at run-time by masking the current IP with
2023 0xf8000000. This assumes the zImage being placed in the first 128MB
2024 from start of memory.

2031 depends on OF && !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN && MMU && AUTO_ZRELADDR && !XIP_KERNEL
2033 select EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
2036 select EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
2038 This option provides support for runtime services provided
2039 by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime
2040 clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to
2041 allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This
2042 is only useful for kernels that may run on systems that have
2046 bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables"
2050 This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems.
2052 This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
2053 However, even with this option, the resultant kernel should
2054 continue to boot on existing non-UEFI platforms.
2056 NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks,
2057 i.e., the the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to
2058 decide whether certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or
2059 firmware need to be enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem
2060 to be enabled much earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

2094 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,

2105 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
2106 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
2107 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
2109 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
