24 mainmenu "Linux Kernel Configuration"
34 comment "Processor type and features"
39 Select this option if you have a 64 bit IBM zSeries machine
40 and want to use the 64 bit addressing mode.
43 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
45 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
46 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
47 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
49 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
50 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
51 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
52 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
53 will run faster if you say N here.
55 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
56 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
58 Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
61 int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
66 This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
67 kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
68 minimum value which makes sense is 2.
70 This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
71 approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
74 bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
79 Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
80 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
81 Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
84 bool "IEEE FPU emulation"
87 This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
88 on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
92 bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
95 Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
96 handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
97 (and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
98 executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".
100 config SYSVIPC_COMPAT
102 depends on COMPAT && SYSVIPC
106 tristate "Kernel support for 31 bit ELF binaries"
109 This allows you to run 32-bit Linux/ELF binaries on your zSeries
110 in 64 bit mode. Everybody wants this; say Y.
112 comment "Code generation options"
115 prompt "Processor type"
119 bool "S/390 model G5 and G6"
122 Select this to build a 31 bit kernel that works
123 on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
126 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"
128 Select this to optimize for zSeries machines. This
129 will enable some optimizations that are not available
130 on older 31 bit only CPUs.
133 bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z890 and z990"
135 Select this enable optimizations for model z890/z990.
136 This will be slightly faster but does not work on
137 older machines such as the z900.
142 bool "Pack kernel stack"
144 This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
145 is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
146 the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
147 frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
148 minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
149 -mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
150 and 24 byte on 64 bit.
152 Say Y if you are unsure.
155 bool "Use 4kb/8kb for kernel stack instead of 8kb/16kb"
156 depends on PACK_STACK
158 If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
159 option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
160 the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
161 instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
162 reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
165 Say N if you are unsure.
169 bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
171 This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
172 -mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
173 it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
174 an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
176 Say N if you are unsure.
179 int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
181 depends on CHECK_STACK
184 This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
185 end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
186 area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
187 needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
188 interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
189 The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
193 bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
195 This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
196 -mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
197 will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
198 create a stack frame bigger then CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
200 Say N if you are unsure.
202 config WARN_STACK_SIZE
203 int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
205 depends on WARN_STACK
208 This allows you to specify the maximum frame size a function may
209 have without the compiler complaining about it.
213 comment "I/O subsystem configuration"
215 config MACHCHK_WARNING
216 bool "Process warning machine checks"
218 Select this option if you want the machine check handler on IBM S/390 or
219 zSeries to process warning machine checks (e.g. on power failures).
223 tristate "QDIO support"
225 This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for
228 For details please refer to the documentation provided by IBM at
229 <http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390>
231 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
232 module will be called qdio.
236 config QDIO_PERF_STATS
237 bool "Performance statistics in /proc"
240 Say Y here to get performance statistics in /proc/qdio_perf
245 bool "Extended debugging information"
248 Say Y here to get extended debugging output in
249 /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/qdio...
250 Warning: this option reduces the performance of the QDIO module.
257 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
259 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
260 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
261 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
262 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
265 Say N if you are unsure.
268 bool "Builtin IPL record support"
270 If you want to use the produced kernel to IPL directly from a
271 device, you have to merge a bootsector specific to the device
272 into the first bytes of the kernel. You will have to select the
276 prompt "IPL method generated into head.S"
280 Select "tape" if you want to IPL the image from a Tape.
282 Select "vm_reader" if you are running under VM/ESA and want
283 to IPL the image from the emulated card reader.
293 source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
296 bool "Show crashed user process info"
298 Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
299 a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
300 are an S390 port maintainer.
303 bool "Pseudo page fault support"
305 Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
306 handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
307 has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
308 pseudo page fault handling will be used.
309 Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
310 implementation that causes some problems.
311 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
315 bool "VM shared kernel support"
317 Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
318 Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
319 usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
320 You should only select this option if you know what you are
321 doing and want to exploit this feature.
324 tristate "Cooperative memory management"
326 Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
327 to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
328 by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
329 makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
330 will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
331 allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
332 Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
336 bool "/proc interface to cooperative memory management"
339 Select this option to enable the /proc interface to the
340 cooperative memory management.
343 bool "IUCV special message interface to cooperative memory management"
344 depends on CMM && (SMSGIUCV=y || CMM=SMSGIUCV)
346 Select this option to enable the special message interface to
347 the cooperative memory management.
350 bool "Virtual CPU timer support"
352 This provides a kernel interface for virtual CPU timers.
355 config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
356 bool "Base user process accounting on virtual cpu timer"
357 depends on VIRT_TIMER
359 Select this option to use CPU timer deltas to do user
363 bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
364 depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
366 This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
367 monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
368 intervals, once the timer is started.
369 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
370 i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
371 A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
372 /proc/appldata/interval.
374 Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
375 The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
378 tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
379 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
381 This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
382 Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
383 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
384 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
388 The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
390 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
394 tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
395 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
397 This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
398 CPU utilisation, etc.
399 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
400 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
404 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
407 config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
408 tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
409 depends on APPLDATA_BASE
411 This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
412 currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
414 Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
415 APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
419 This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
423 bool "No HZ timer ticks in idle"
425 Switches the regular HZ timer off when the system is going idle.
426 This helps z/VM to detect that the Linux system is idle. VM can
427 then "swap-out" this guest which reduces memory usage. It also
428 reduces the overhead of idle systems.
430 The HZ timer can be switched on/off via /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer.
431 hz_timer=0 means HZ timer is disabled. hz_timer=1 means HZ
434 config NO_IDLE_HZ_INIT
435 bool "HZ timer in idle off by default"
436 depends on NO_IDLE_HZ
438 The HZ timer is switched off in idle by default. That means the
439 HZ timer is already disabled at boot time.
442 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
443 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
445 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
446 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
447 but is independent of hardware/microcode support.
