Pull x86 cache allocation interface from Thomas Gleixner:
"This provides support for Intel's Cache Allocation Technology, a cache
partitioning mechanism.
The interface is odd, but the hardware interface of that CAT stuff is
odd as well.
We tried hard to come up with an abstraction, but that only allows
rather simple partitioning, but no way of sharing and dealing with the
per package nature of this mechanism.
In the end we decided to expose the allocation bitmaps directly so all
combinations of the hardware can be utilized.
There are two ways of associating a cache partition:
- Task
A task can be added to a resource group. It uses the cache
partition associated to the group.
- CPU
All tasks which are not member of a resource group use the group to
which the CPU they are running on is associated with.
That allows for simple CPU based partitioning schemes.
The main expected user sare:
- Virtualization so a VM can only trash only the associated part of
the cash w/o disturbing others
- Real-Time systems to seperate RT and general workloads.
- Latency sensitive enterprise workloads
- In theory this also can be used to protect against cache side
channel attacks"
[ Intel RDT is "Resource Director Technology". The interface really is
rather odd and very specific, which delayed this pull request while I
was thinking about it. The pull request itself came in early during
the merge window, I just delayed it until things had calmed down and I
had more time.
But people tell me they'll use this, and the good news is that it is
_so_ specific that it's rather independent of anything else, and no
user is going to depend on the interface since it's pretty rare. So if
push comes to shove, we can just remove the interface and nothing will
break ]

This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of

spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
|
|
interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
|
|
superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
|
|
|
|
Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
|
|
entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
|
|
kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
|
|
boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
|
|
the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
|
|
IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
|
|
kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
|
|
way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
|
|
the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
|
|
down (vital) interrupt lines.

Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be

increased on these systems.

This option allows user programs to put the CPU into V8086

Some very old versions of X and/or vbetool require this option

for user mode setting. Similarly, DOSEMU will use it if

available to accelerate real mode DOS programs. However, any

recent version of DOSEMU, X, or vbetool should be fully

functional even without kernel VM86 support, as they will all

fall back to software emulation. Nevertheless, if you are using

a 16-bit DOS program where 16-bit performance matters, vm86

Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
|
|
However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
|
|
Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
|
|
physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
|
|
kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
|
|
"high memory".
|
|
|
|
If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
|
|
more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
|
|
choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
|
|
split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
|
|
space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
|
|
by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
|
|
answer "4GB" here.
|
|
|
|
If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
|
|
selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
|
|
PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
|
|
supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
|
|
processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
|
|
then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
|
|
|
|
The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
|
|
auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
|
|
such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command

seconds; see the memory_corruption_check_size and

Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst to adjust this.

When enabled with the default parameters, this option has

almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount

of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption

right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the

If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does

|

Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
|
|
operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
|
|
a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
|
|
a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
|
|
give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
|
|
coprocessor or this emulation.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
|
|
say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
|
|
be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
|
|
command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
|
|
is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
|
|
loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
|
|
boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
|
|
intend to use this kernel on different machines.
|
|
|
|
More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
|
|
emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger

prompt "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" if EXPERT
|
|
---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:
|
|
|
|
The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
|
|
Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
|
|
these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
|
|
The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
|
|
MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
|
|
write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
|
|
and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
|
|
just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then

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. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
|
|
to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
|
|
(normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
|
|
|
|
So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
|
|
leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 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. 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. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
|
|
for more details about crash dumps.
|
|
|
|
Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
|
|
one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
|
|
as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
|
|
gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
|
|
is present because there are users out there who continue to use
|
|
vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
|
|
line.
|

Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

|
|
In support of Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR),
|
|
this randomizes the physical address at which the kernel image
|
|
is decompressed and the virtual address where the kernel
|
|
image is mapped, as a security feature that deters exploit
|
|
attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel
|
|
code internals.
|
|
|
|
On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
|
|
randomized separately. The physical address will be anywhere
|
|
between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The
|
|
virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits
|
|
of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space
|
|
available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB.
|
|
|
|
On 32-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
|
|
randomized together. They will be randomized from 16MB up to
|
|
512MB (8 bits of entropy).
|
|
|
|
Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
|
|
supported. If RDTSC is supported, its value is mixed into
|
|
the entropy pool as well. If neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are
|
|
supported, then entropy is read from the i8254 timer. The
|
|
usable entropy is limited by the kernel being built using
|
|
2GB addressing, and that PHYSICAL_ALIGN must be at a
|
|
minimum of 2MB. As a result, only 10 bits of entropy are
|
|
theoretically possible, but the implementations are further
|
|
limited due to memory layouts.
|

APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
|
|
techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
|
|
APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
|
|
reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
|
|
battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
|
|
notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
|
|
|
|
If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
|
|
BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
|
|
|
|
Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
|
|
machines with more than one CPU.
|
|
|
|
In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
|
|
and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
|
|
and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
|
|
manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
|
|
VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
|
|
|
|
This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
|
|
486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
|
|
desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
|
|
may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
|
|
|
|
Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
|
|
much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
|
|
random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
|
|
anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
|
|
APM in your BIOS).
|
|
|
|
Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
|
|
"weird" problems:
|
|
|
|
1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
|
|
enabled.
|
|
2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
|
|
3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
|
|
the "no387" option to the kernel
|
|
4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
|
|
5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
|
|
all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
|
|
6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
|
|
7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
|
|
8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
|
|
9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
|
|
10) install a better fan for the CPU
|
|
11) exchange RAM chips
|
|
12) exchange the motherboard.

Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
|
|
name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
|
|
inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
|
|
(MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
|
|
newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
|
|
developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
|
|
|
|
The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
|
|
bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
|
|
the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
|
|
1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
|
|
|
|
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, say N.

bool "Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer"
|

help
|
|
Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
|
|
bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
|
|
user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
|
|
Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
|
|
to x86.
|
|
This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
|
|
framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
|
|
used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
|
|
modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
|
|
drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
|
|
If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
|
|
marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
|
|
|
|
Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
|
|
not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
|
|
is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
|
|
replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
|
|
with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
|
|
and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
|
|
incompatible with simplefb.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say Y.
