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

	 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.

	  Support for full DMA access of devices with 32bit memory access only
	  on systems with more than 3GB. This is usually needed for USB,
	  sound, many IDE/SATA chipsets and some other devices.
	  Provides a driver for the AMD Athlon64/Opteron/Turion/Sempron GART
	  based hardware IOMMU and a software bounce buffer based IOMMU used
	  on Intel systems and as fallback.
	  The code is only active when needed (enough memory and limited

	  too.

config CALGARY_IOMMU
	bool "IBM Calgary IOMMU support"
	select SWIOTLB
	depends on X86_64 && PCI && EXPERIMENTAL
	help
	  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 CALGARY_IOMMU_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT

	  Should Calgary be enabled by default? if you choose 'y', Calgary

	  Calgary anyway, pass 'iommu=calgary' on the kernel command line.
	  If unsure, say Y.

# need this always selected by IOMMU for the VIA workaround
config SWIOTLB
	bool
	help
	  Support for software bounce buffers used on x86-64 systems
	  which don't have a hardware IOMMU (e.g. the current generation
	  of Intel's x86-64 CPUs). Using this PCI devices which can only
	  access 32-bits of memory can be used on systems with more than
	  3 GB of memory. If unsure, say Y.

config X86_MCE

	default y
	help
	   Include a machine check error handler to report hardware errors.

config X86_MCE_AMD
	bool "AMD MCE features"

	default y
	help
	   Additional support for AMD specific MCE features such as
	   the DRAM Error Threshold.

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.
