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.
See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO
available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
config NR_CPUS

depends on SMP
default "32"
help
This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
minimum value which makes sense is 2.
This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
config HOTPLUG_CPU

help
Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.

This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
need this.
config COMPAT
bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
depends on 64BIT
help
Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
(and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".

[S390] noexec protection This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data. As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses (storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the data addresses. The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU list). Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored behind the signal stack frame. This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works for user space. After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the page tables need to be walked manually.

config S390_SWITCH_AMODE
bool "Switch kernel/user addressing modes"
help
This option allows to switch the addressing modes of kernel and user
space. The kernel parameter switch_amode=on will enable this feature,
default is disabled. Enabling this (via kernel parameter) on machines
earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC will reduce system performance.
Note that this option will also be selected by selecting the execute
protection option below. Enabling the execute protection via the
noexec kernel parameter will also switch the addressing modes,
independent of the switch_amode kernel parameter.
config S390_EXEC_PROTECT
bool "Data execute protection"
select S390_SWITCH_AMODE
help
This option allows to enable a buffer overflow protection for user
space programs and it also selects the addressing mode option above.
The kernel parameter noexec=on will enable this feature and also
switch the addressing modes, default is disabled. Enabling this (via
kernel parameter) on machines earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC
will reduce system performance.

This will be slightly faster but does not work on
older machines such as the z900.
config MARCH_Z9_109
bool "IBM System z9"
help
Select this to enable optimizations for IBM System z9-109, IBM
System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC), and IBM System z9 Business
Class (z9 BC). The kernel will be slightly faster but will not
work on older machines such as the z990, z890, z900, and z800.
endchoice
config PACK_STACK
bool "Pack kernel stack"
help
This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
-mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
and 24 byte on 64 bit.
Say Y if you are unsure.
config SMALL_STACK
bool "Use 4kb/8kb for kernel stack instead of 8kb/16kb"
depends on PACK_STACK && !LOCKDEP
help
If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. For 31 bit
the reduced size is 4kb instead of 8kb and for 64 bit it is 8kb
instead of 16kb. This allows to run more thread on a system and
reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher order
page allocations.
Say N if you are unsure.
config CHECK_STACK
bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
help
This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
-mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
Say N if you are unsure.
config STACK_GUARD
int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
range 128 1024
depends on CHECK_STACK
default "256"
help
This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
512 for 64 bit.
config WARN_STACK
bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
help
This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
-mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
create a stack frame bigger then CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
Say N if you are unsure.
config WARN_STACK_SIZE
int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
range 128 2048

Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
are an S390 port maintainer.
config PFAULT
bool "Pseudo page fault support"
help
Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
pseudo page fault handling will be used.
Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
implementation that causes some problems.
Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
this option.
config SHARED_KERNEL
bool "VM shared kernel support"
help
Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
Also if a kernel was IPL'ed from a shared segment the kexec system
call will not work.
You should only select this option if you know what you are
doing and want to exploit this feature.
config CMM
tristate "Cooperative memory management"
help
Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
option.
config CMM_PROC

help
Select this option to use CPU timer deltas to do user
process accounting.
config APPLDATA_BASE
bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
help
This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
intervals, once the timer is started.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
/proc/appldata/interval.
Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
config APPLDATA_MEM
tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
depends on APPLDATA_BASE && VM_EVENT_COUNTERS
help
This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
on the z/VM side.
Default is disabled.
The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
appldata_mem.o.
config APPLDATA_OS
tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
depends on APPLDATA_BASE
help
This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
CPU utilisation, etc.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
on the z/VM side.
Default is disabled.
This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
appldata_os.o.
config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
depends on APPLDATA_BASE
help
This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
per-interface data.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
on the z/VM side.
Default is disabled.
This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
appldata_net_sum.o.
source kernel/Kconfig.hz
config NO_IDLE_HZ
bool "No HZ timer ticks in idle"
help
Switches the regular HZ timer off when the system is going idle.
This helps z/VM to detect that the Linux system is idle. VM can
then "swap-out" this guest which reduces memory usage. It also
reduces the overhead of idle systems.
The HZ timer can be switched on/off via /proc/sys/kernel/hz_timer.
hz_timer=0 means HZ timer is disabled. hz_timer=1 means HZ
timer is active.
config NO_IDLE_HZ_INIT
bool "HZ timer in idle off by default"
depends on NO_IDLE_HZ
help
The HZ timer is switched off in idle by default. That means the
HZ timer is already disabled at boot time.
[PATCH] s390_hypfs filesystem On zSeries machines there exists an interface which allows the operating system to retrieve LPAR hypervisor accounting data. For example, it is possible to get usage data for physical and virtual cpus. In order to provide this information to user space programs, I implemented a new virtual Linux file system named 's390_hypfs' using the Linux 2.6 libfs framework. The name 's390_hypfs' stands for 'S390 Hypervisor Filesystem'. All the accounting information is put into different virtual files which can be accessed from user space. All data is represented as ASCII strings. When the file system is mounted the accounting information is retrieved and a file system tree is created with the attribute files containing the cpu information. The content of the files remains unchanged until a new update is made. An update can be triggered from user space through writing 'something' into a special purpose update file. We create the following directory structure: <mount-point>/ update cpus/ <cpu-id> type mgmtime <cpu-id> ... hyp/ type systems/ <lpar-name> cpus/ <cpu-id> type mgmtime cputime onlinetime <cpu-id> ... <lpar-name> cpus/ ... - update: File to trigger update - cpus/: Directory for all physical cpus - cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for one physical cpu. - cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Type name of physical zSeries cpu. - cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Physical-LPAR-management time in microseconds. - hyp/: Directory for hypervisor information - hyp/type: Typ of hypervisor (currently only 'LPAR Hypervisor') - systems/: Directory for all LPARs - systems/<lpar-name>/: Directory for one LPAR. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/: Directory for the virtual cpus - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/type: Typ of cpu. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/mgmtime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed by the hypervisor and was not provided to the LPAR (LPAR overhead). - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/cputime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU was assigned to the logical cpu and the cpu time was consumed by the LPAR. - systems/<lpar-name>/cpus/<cpu-id>/onlinetime: Accumulated number of microseconds during which the logical CPU has been online. As mount point for the filesystem /sys/hypervisor/s390 is created. The update process is triggered when writing 'something' into the 'update' file at the top level hypfs directory. You can do this e.g. with 'echo 1 > update'. During the update the whole directory structure is deleted and built up again.
