obviously need the actual microcode binary data itself which is
not shipped with the Linux kernel.
For latest news and information on obtaining all the required
ingredients for this driver, check:
<http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called microcode.

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.
See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.
config SMP
bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
---help---
This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
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.
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
config SCHED_SMT
bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"
depends on SMP
default n
help
SMT scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making
when dealing with Intel Pentium 4 chips with HyperThreading at a
cost of slightly increased overhead in some places. If unsure say
N here.
source "kernel/Kconfig.preempt"
config NUMA
bool "Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) Support"
depends on SMP
help
Enable NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access) support. The kernel
will try to allocate memory used by a CPU on the local memory
controller of the CPU and add some more NUMA awareness to the kernel.
This code is recommended on all multiprocessor Opteron systems.
If the system is EM64T, you should say N unless your system is EM64T
NUMA.
config K8_NUMA
bool "Old style AMD Opteron NUMA detection"
depends on NUMA
default y
help
Enable K8 NUMA node topology detection. You should say Y here if
you have a multi processor AMD K8 system. This uses an old
method to read the NUMA configurtion directly from the builtin
Northbridge of Opteron. It is recommended to use X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
instead, which also takes priority if both are compiled in.
# Dummy CONFIG option to select ACPI_NUMA from drivers/acpi/Kconfig.

help
This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
kernel will support. Current maximum is 256 CPUs due to
APIC addressing limits. Less depending on the hardware.
This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU requires
memory in the static kernel configuration.
config HOTPLUG_CPU
bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs (EXPERIMENTAL)"

help
Say Y here to experiment with turning CPUs off and on. CPUs
can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
config HPET_TIMER
bool
default y
help
Use the IA-PC HPET (High Precision Event Timer) to manage
time in preference to the PIT and RTC, if a HPET is
present. The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at
<http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.

Support the IOMMU. Needed to run systems with more than 3GB of memory
properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC (Double Address
Cycle). The IOMMU can be turned off at runtime with the iommu=off parameter.
Normally the kernel will take the right choice by itself.
This option includes a driver for the AMD Opteron/Athlon64 northbridge IOMMU
and a software emulation used on other systems.
If unsure, say Y.

config X86_MCE

machine check error logs. See

help
Additional support for intel specific MCE features such as
the thermal monitor.
config X86_MCE_AMD
bool "AMD MCE features"
depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
default y
help
Additional support for AMD specific MCE features such as
the DRAM Error Threshold.
config KEXEC
bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL
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 indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
The name comes from the similiarity 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.
config PHYSICAL_START
hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EMBEDDED || CRASH_DUMP)
default "0x1000000" if CRASH_DUMP
default "0x200000"
help
This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. Normally
for regular kernels this value is 0x200000 (2MB). But in the case
of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
0x1000000 (16MB). This can also 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.
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.
source kernel/Kconfig.hz
config REORDER
bool "Function reordering"
default n
help
This option enables the toolchain to reorder functions for a more
optimal TLB usage. If you have pretty much any version of binutils,
this can increase your kernel build time by roughly one minute.
