13 The ARM series is a line of low-power-consumption RISC chip designs
14 licensed by ARM Ltd and targeted at embedded applications and
15 handhelds such as the Compaq IPAQ. ARM-based PCs are no longer
16 manufactured, but legacy ARM-based PC hardware remains popular in
17 Europe. There is an ARM Linux project with a web page at
18 <http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/>.
27 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
28 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
30 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
31 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
32 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
33 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
35 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
45 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
46 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
47 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
48 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

412 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && REALVIEW_MPCORE
414 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
415 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
416 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
418 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
419 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
420 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all, single
421 processor machines. On a single processor machine, the kernel will
422 run faster if you say N here.

442 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu.
445 bool "Use local timer interrupts"
446 depends on SMP && REALVIEW_MPCORE
449 Enable support for local timers on SMP platforms, rather then the
450 legacy IPI broadcast method. Local timers allows the system
451 accounting to be spread across the timer interval, preventing a
452 "thundering herd" at every timer tick.
455 bool "Preemptible Kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
456 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
458 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
459 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
460 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
461 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
464 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
465 or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
468 bool "Dynamic tick timer"
470 Select this option if you want to disable continuous timer ticks
471 and have them programmed to occur as required. This option saves
472 power as the system can remain in idle state for longer.
474 By default dynamic tick is disabled during the boot, and can be
475 manually enabled with:
477 echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick
479 Alternatively, if you want dynamic tick automatically enabled
480 during boot, pass "dyntick=enable" via the kernel command string.
482 Please note that dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of
483 timekeeping on some platforms depending on the implementation.
484 Currently at least OMAP, PXA2xx and SA11x0 platforms are known
485 to have accurate timekeeping with dynamic tick.

491 default OMAP_32K_TIMER_HZ if ARCH_OMAP && OMAP_32K_TIMER
495 bool "Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel"
497 This option allows for the kernel to be compiled using the latest
498 ARM ABI (aka EABI). This is only useful if you are using a user
499 space environment that is also compiled with EABI.
501 Since there are major incompatibilities between the legacy ABI and
502 EABI, especially with regard to structure member alignment, this
503 option also changes the kernel syscall calling convention to
504 disambiguate both ABIs and allow for backward compatibility support
505 (selected with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT).
507 To use this you need GCC version 4.0.0 or later.
510 bool "Allow old ABI binaries to run with this kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
511 depends on AEABI && EXPERIMENTAL
514 This option preserves the old syscall interface along with the
515 new (ARM EABI) one. It also provides a compatibility layer to
516 intercept syscalls that have structure arguments which layout
517 in memory differs between the legacy ABI and the new ARM EABI
518 (only for non "thumb" binaries). This option adds a tiny
519 overhead to all syscalls and produces a slightly larger kernel.
520 If you know you'll be using only pure EABI user space then you
521 can say N here. If this option is not selected and you attempt
522 to execute a legacy ABI binary then the result will be
523 UNPREDICTABLE (in fact it can be predicted that it won't work
524 at all). If in doubt say Y.

528 default (ARCH_LH7A40X && !LH7A40X_CONTIGMEM)
530 Say Y to support efficient handling of discontiguous physical memory,

532 or have huge holes in the physical address space for other reasons.

553 to provide useful information about your current system status.
555 If you are compiling a kernel for a NetWinder or EBSA-285, you will
556 be able to select which LEDs are active using the options below. If
557 you are compiling a kernel for the EBSA-110 or the LART however, the
558 red LED will simply flash regularly to indicate that the system is
559 still functional. It is safe to say Y here if you have a CATS
560 system, but the driver will do nothing.

568 If you say Y here, one of the system LEDs (the green one on the
569 NetWinder, the amber one on the EBSA285, or the red one on the LART)
570 will flash regularly to indicate that the system is still
571 operational. This is mainly useful to kernel hackers who are
572 debugging unstable kernels.
574 The LART uses the same LED for both Timer LED and CPU usage LED
575 functions. You may choose to use both, but the Timer LED function
576 will overrule the CPU usage LED.
579 bool "CPU usage LED" if (!ARCH_CDB89712 && !ARCH_EBSA110 && \
580 !ARCH_OMAP) || MACH_OMAP_H2 || MACH_OMAP_PERSEUS2
583 If you say Y here, the red LED will be used to give a good real
584 time indication of CPU usage, by lighting whenever the idle task
585 is not currently executing.
587 The LART uses the same LED for both Timer LED and CPU usage LED
588 functions. You may choose to use both, but the Timer LED function
589 will overrule the CPU usage LED.

593 default y if !ARCH_EBSA110
595 ARM processors can not fetch/store information which is not
596 naturally aligned on the bus, i.e., a 4 byte fetch must start at an
597 address divisible by 4. On 32-bit ARM processors, these non-aligned
598 fetch/store instructions will be emulated in software if you say
599 here, which has a severe performance impact. This is necessary for
600 correct operation of some network protocols. With an IP-only
601 configuration it is safe to say N, otherwise say Y.

608 # TEXT and BSS so we preserve their values in the config files.
609 config ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT
610 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
613 The physical address at which the ROM-able zImage is to be
614 placed in the target. Platforms which normally make use of
615 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
616 value in their defconfig file.
618 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
621 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader BSS address"
624 The base address of 64KiB of read/write memory in the target
625 for the ROM-able zImage, which must be available while the
626 decompressor is running. Platforms which normally make use of
627 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
628 value in their defconfig file.
630 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
633 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
634 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
636 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
637 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
640 string "Default kernel command string"
643 On some architectures (EBSA110 and CATS), there is currently no way
644 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
645 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
646 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
647 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
650 bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
651 depends on !ZBOOT_ROM
653 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
654 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
655 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
656 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
657 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
658 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
659 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
660 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
661 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
662 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
664 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
665 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
666 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.
671 hex "XIP Kernel Physical Location"

720 Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
721 This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
722 support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if

732 Say Y to include 80-bit support in the kernel floating-point
733 emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
734 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
735 so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
736 floating point emulator without any good reason.
738 You almost surely want to say N here.

742 depends on (!AEABI || OABI_COMPAT) && !CPU_32v3 && EXPERIMENTAL
744 Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
745 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
746 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
747 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
749 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
750 for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.

793 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
794 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
795 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
796 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
