-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.
-
- 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.
-
- Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

-
- If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
- machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
- you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
- singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
- will run faster if you say N here.

- Support for hardware IOMMUs in IBM's xSeries x366 and x460
- systems. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
- properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
- (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level
- isolation, where all DMAs pass through the IOMMU. This
- prevents them from going anywhere except their intended
- destination. This catches hard-to-find kernel bugs and
- mis-behaving drivers and devices that do not use the DMA-API
- properly to set up their DMA buffers. The IOMMU can be
- turned off at boot time with the iommu=off parameter.
- Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.
- If unsure, say Y.

-config KEXEC
- bool "kexec system call"
- help
- kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
- current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
- but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
- you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
-
- The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
-
- It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
- is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
- initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
- support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
- strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
-
-config CRASH_DUMP
- bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
- This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
- which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
- a specially reserved region and then later executed after
- a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
- to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
- PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
- (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
- For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
-
-config RELOCATABLE
- bool "Build a relocatable kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- Builds a relocatable kernel. This enables loading and running
- a kernel binary from a different physical address than it has
- been compiled for.
-
- One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
- must live at a different physical address than the primary
- kernel.
-
- Note: If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y, then the kernel runs from the address
- it has been loaded at and the compile time physical address
- (CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START) is ignored.
-
-config PHYSICAL_START
- hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EMBEDDED || CRASH_DUMP)
- default "0x200000"
- help
- This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. It
- should be aligned to 2MB boundary.
-
- If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
- bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
- run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
- it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
- address.
-
- In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
- as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
- (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
- address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
- to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
- vmlinux instead.
-
- So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
- the value here unchanged to 0x200000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
- Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
- change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
- 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
- specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
- passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
- crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
- Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
-
- Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is advantageous as
- one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
- as production kernel and capture kernel.
-
- Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

-config SECCOMP
- bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
- depends on PROC_FS
- default y
- help
- This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
- that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
- execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
- the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
- syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
- their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
- enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
- and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
- defined by each seccomp mode.
-
- If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here.
-
-config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
- bool "Enable -fstack-protector buffer overflow detection (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on X86_64 && EXPERIMENTAL
- help
- This option turns on the -fstack-protector GCC feature. This
- feature puts, at the beginning of critical functions, a canary
- value on the stack just before the return address, and validates
- the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
- overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
- overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
- neutralized via a kernel panic.
-
- This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
- gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
- detected and for those versions, this configuration option is ignored.
-
-config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL
- bool "Use stack-protector for all functions"
- depends on CC_STACKPROTECTOR
- help
- Normally, GCC only inserts the canary value protection for
- functions that use large-ish on-stack buffers. By enabling
- this option, GCC will be asked to do this for ALL functions.
