mainmenu "Linux Kernel Configuration"

config X86_32
	bool
	default y
	help
	  This is Linux's home port.  Linux was originally native to the Intel
	  386, and runs on all the later x86 processors including the Intel
	  486, 586, Pentiums, and various instruction-set-compatible chips by
	  AMD, Cyrix, and others.

config SEMAPHORE_SLEEPERS
	bool
	default y

config X86
	bool

source "init/Kconfig"

config DOUBLEFAULT
	default y
	bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
	help
          This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
          would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
          option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
          hair.

menu "Processor type and features"

choice
	prompt "Subarchitecture Type"
	default X86_PC

config X86_PC
	bool "PC-compatible"
	help
	  Choose this option if your computer is a standard PC or compatible.

config X86_ELAN
	bool "AMD Elan"
	help
	  Select this for an AMD Elan processor.

	  Do not use this option for K6/Athlon/Opteron processors!

	  If unsure, choose "PC-compatible" instead.

config X86_VOYAGER
	bool "Voyager (NCR)"
	help
	  Voyager is an MCA-based 32-way capable SMP architecture proprietary
	  to NCR Corp.  Machine classes 345x/35xx/4100/51xx are Voyager-based.

	  *** WARNING ***

	  If you do not specifically know you have a Voyager based machine,
	  say N here, otherwise the kernel you build will not be bootable.

config X86_NUMAQ
	bool "NUMAQ (IBM/Sequent)"
	select NUMA
	help
	  This option is used for getting Linux to run on a (IBM/Sequent) NUMA
	  multiquad box. This changes the way that processors are bootstrapped,
	  and uses Clustered Logical APIC addressing mode instead of Flat Logical.
	  You will need a new lynxer.elf file to flash your firmware with - send
	  email to <Martin.Bligh@us.ibm.com>.

config X86_SUMMIT
	bool "Summit/EXA (IBM x440)"
	depends on SMP
	help
	  This option is needed for IBM systems that use the Summit/EXA chipset.
	  In particular, it is needed for the x440.

	  If you don't have one of these computers, you should say N here.

config X86_BIGSMP
	bool "Support for other sub-arch SMP systems with more than 8 CPUs"
	depends on SMP
	help
	  This option is needed for the systems that have more than 8 CPUs
	  and if the system is not of any sub-arch type above.

	  If you don't have such a system, you should say N here.

config X86_VISWS
	bool "SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation)"
	help
	  The SGI Visual Workstation series is an IA32-based workstation
	  based on SGI systems chips with some legacy PC hardware attached.

	  Say Y here to create a kernel to run on the SGI 320 or 540.

	  A kernel compiled for the Visual Workstation will not run on PCs
	  and vice versa. See <file:Documentation/sgi-visws.txt> for details.

config X86_GENERICARCH
       bool "Generic architecture (Summit, bigsmp, ES7000, default)"
       depends on SMP
       help
          This option compiles in the Summit, bigsmp, ES7000, default subarchitectures.
	  It is intended for a generic binary kernel.

config X86_ES7000
	bool "Support for Unisys ES7000 IA32 series"
	depends on SMP
	help
	  Support for Unisys ES7000 systems.  Say 'Y' here if this kernel is
	  supposed to run on an IA32-based Unisys ES7000 system.
	  Only choose this option if you have such a system, otherwise you
	  should say N here.

	---help---
	  Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
	  However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
	  Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
	  physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
	  kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
	  "high memory".

	  If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
	  more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
	  choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
	  split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
	  space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
	  by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
	  possible.

	  If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
	  answer "4GB" here.

	  If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
	  selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
	  PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

	  processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
	  then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!

	  The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
	  auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
	  such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

config MATH_EMULATION

	  a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
	  give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
	  coprocessor or this emulation.

	  If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
	  say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
	  be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
	  command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
	  is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
	  loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
	  boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
	  intend to use this kernel on different machines.

	  More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
	  emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

	  If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger

config MTRR
	bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
	---help---
	  On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
	  the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
	  processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
	  a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
	  allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
	  before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
	  of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
	  /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
	  MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.

	  This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
	  control registers on other processors can be easily supported
	  as well:

	  The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
	  Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
	  these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
	  The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
	  MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
	  write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
	  and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.

	  Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
	  set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
	  can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.

	  You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
	  just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

	  APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
	  techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
	  APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
	  reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
	  battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
	  notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).

	  If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
	  BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.

	  Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
	  machines with more than one CPU.

	  In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
	  and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
	  Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

	  This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
	  manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
	  VESA-compliant "green" monitors.

	  This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
	  486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
	  desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
	  may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.

	  Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
	  much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
	  random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
	  anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
	  APM in your BIOS).

	  Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
	  "weird" problems:

	  1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
	  enabled.
	  2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
	  3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
	  the "no387" option to the kernel
	  4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
	  5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
	  all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
	  6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
	  7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
	  8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
	  9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
	  10) install a better fan for the CPU
	  11) exchange RAM chips
	  12) exchange the motherboard.

	  This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
	  feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
	  should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
	  will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
	  this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
	  support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

	  stores localtime.

	  It is in fact recommended to store GMT in your RTC, because then you

	  Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

	  BIOS implementation.  The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
	  needs to.  Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
	  many of the newer IBM Thinkpads.  If you experience hangs when you
	  suspend, try setting this to Y.  Otherwise, say N.

	  Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is

	  your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

	  On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
	  determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
	  have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
	  PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
	  detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

	  With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
	  PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
	  if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
	  choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
	  If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
	  direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
	  work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
