4 The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as implemented
5 (mostly) by the __setup() macro and sorted into English Dictionary order
6 (defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits before letters in a
7 case insensitive manner), and with descriptions where known.
9 Module parameters for loadable modules are specified only as the
10 parameter name with optional '=' and value as appropriate, such as:
12 modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
14 Module parameters for modules that are built into the kernel image
15 are specified on the kernel command line with the module name plus
16 '.' plus parameter name, with '=' and value if appropriate, such as:
18 usbcore.blinkenlights=1
20 Hyphens (dashes) and underscores are equivalent in parameter names, so
21 log_buf_len=1M print-fatal-signals=1
22 can also be entered as
23 log-buf-len=1M print_fatal_signals=1
26 This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
27 "modinfo -p ${modulename}" shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
28 module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
29 reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
30 parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
31 "echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}".
33 The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were
34 enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at
35 the beginning of each description states the restrictions within which a
36 parameter is applicable:

121 More X86-64 boot options can be found in
122 Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt .
123 X86 Either 32-bit or 64-bit x86 (same as X86-32+X86-64)
124 XEN Xen support is enabled
126 In addition, the following text indicates that the option:
128 BUGS= Relates to possible processor bugs on the said processor.
129 KNL Is a kernel start-up parameter.
130 BOOT Is a boot loader parameter.
132 Parameters denoted with BOOT are actually interpreted by the boot
133 loader, and have no meaning to the kernel directly.
134 Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme
135 need or coordination with <Documentation/x86/boot.txt>.
137 There are also arch-specific kernel-parameters not documented here.
138 See for example <Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt>.
140 Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that
141 a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
142 be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
143 it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs
144 running once the system is up.
146 The number of kernel parameters is not limited, but the length of the
147 complete command line (parameters including spaces etc.) is limited to
148 a fixed number of characters. This limit depends on the architecture
149 and is between 256 and 4096 characters. It is defined in the file
150 ./include/asm/setup.h as COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
152 Finally, the [KMG] suffix is commonly described after a number of kernel
153 parameter values. These 'K', 'M', and 'G' letters represent the _binary_
154 multipliers 'Kilo', 'Mega', and 'Giga', equalling 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30
155 bytes respectively. Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted.
159 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
160 Format: { force | off | strict | noirq | rsdt }
161 force -- enable ACPI if default was off
162 off -- disable ACPI if default was on
163 noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
164 strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
165 strictly ACPI specification compliant.
166 rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
167 copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
169 See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
171 acpi_rsdp= [ACPI,EFI,KEXEC]
172 Pass the RSDP address to the kernel, mostly used
173 on machines running EFI runtime service to boot the
174 second kernel for kdump.
176 acpi_apic_instance= [ACPI, IOAPIC]
178 2: use 2nd APIC table, if available
179 1,0: use 1st APIC table
182 acpi_backlight= [HW,ACPI]
183 acpi_backlight=vendor
185 If set to vendor, prefer vendor specific driver
186 (e.g. thinkpad_acpi, sony_acpi, etc.) instead
187 of the ACPI video.ko driver.
189 acpi.debug_layer= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
190 acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
192 CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
193 debug output. Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
194 _COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
195 #define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
196 Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
197 ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
198 ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
199 The debug_level mask defaults to "info". See
200 Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for more information about
201 debug layers and levels.
203 Enable processor driver info messages:
204 acpi.debug_layer=0x20000000
205 Enable PCI/PCI interrupt routing info messages:
206 acpi.debug_layer=0x400000
207 Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
208 object while interpreting AML:
209 acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
210 Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
211 acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
213 Some values produce so much output that the system is
214 unusable. The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
215 if you need to capture more output.
217 acpi_irq_balance [HW,ACPI]
218 ACPI will balance active IRQs
221 acpi_irq_nobalance [HW,ACPI]
222 ACPI will not move active IRQs (default)
225 acpi_irq_isa= [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, mark listed IRQs used by ISA
226 Format: <irq>,<irq>...
228 acpi_irq_pci= [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, clear listed IRQs for
230 Format: <irq>,<irq>...
232 acpi_no_auto_ssdt [HW,ACPI] Disable automatic loading of SSDT
234 acpi_os_name= [HW,ACPI] Tell ACPI BIOS the name of the OS
235 Format: To spoof as Windows 98: ="Microsoft Windows"
237 acpi_osi= [HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
238 acpi_osi="string1" # add string1 -- only one string
239 acpi_osi="!string2" # remove built-in string2
240 acpi_osi= # disable all strings
243 Override the pmtimer bug detection: force the kernel
244 to assume that this machine's pmtimer latches its value
245 and always returns good values.
247 acpi_sci= [HW,ACPI] ACPI System Control Interrupt trigger mode
248 Format: { level | edge | high | low }
250 acpi_serialize [HW,ACPI] force serialization of AML methods
252 acpi_skip_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
253 Recognize and ignore IRQ0/pin2 Interrupt Override.
254 For broken nForce2 BIOS resulting in XT-PIC timer.
256 acpi_sleep= [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
257 Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
258 old_ordering, nonvs, sci_force_enable }
259 See Documentation/power/video.txt for information on
261 s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
262 as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
263 s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
264 used during resume from hibernation.
265 old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
266 control method, with respect to putting devices into
267 low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
268 of _PTS is used by default).
269 nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
270 ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
271 sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
272 on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
273 but some broken systems don't work without it).
275 acpi_use_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
276 Use timer override. For some broken Nvidia NF5 boards
277 that require a timer override, but don't have HPET
279 acpi_enforce_resources= [ACPI]
280 { strict | lax | no }
281 Check for resource conflicts between native drivers
282 and ACPI OperationRegions (SystemIO and SystemMemory
283 only). IO ports and memory declared in ACPI might be
284 used by the ACPI subsystem in arbitrary AML code and
285 can interfere with legacy drivers.
286 strict (default): access to resources claimed by ACPI
287 is denied; legacy drivers trying to access reserved
288 resources will fail to bind to device using them.
289 lax: access to resources claimed by ACPI is allowed;
290 legacy drivers trying to access reserved resources
291 will bind successfully but a warning message is logged.
292 no: ACPI OperationRegions are not marked as reserved,
293 no further checks are performed.
295 add_efi_memmap [EFI; X86] Include EFI memory map in
296 kernel's map of available physical RAM.
299 { off | try_unsupported }
300 off: disable AGP support
301 try_unsupported: try to drive unsupported chipsets
302 (may crash computer or cause data corruption)
305 See Documentation/sound/alsa/alsa-parameters.txt
308 Allow the default userspace alignment fault handler
309 behaviour to be specified. Bit 0 enables warnings,
310 bit 1 enables fixups, and bit 2 sends a segfault.
312 align_va_addr= [X86-64]
313 Align virtual addresses by clearing slice [14:12] when
314 allocating a VMA at process creation time. This option
315 gives you up to 3% performance improvement on AMD F15h
316 machines (where it is enabled by default) for a
317 CPU-intensive style benchmark, and it can vary highly in
318 a microbenchmark depending on workload and compiler.
320 32: only for 32-bit processes
321 64: only for 64-bit processes
322 on: enable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
323 off: disable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
325 alloc_snapshot [FTRACE]
326 Allocate the ftrace snapshot buffer on boot up when the
327 main buffer is allocated. This is handy if debugging
328 and you need to use tracing_snapshot() on boot up, and
329 do not want to use tracing_snapshot_alloc() as it needs
330 to be done where GFP_KERNEL allocations are allowed.
332 amd_iommu= [HW,X86-64]
333 Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
335 fullflush - enable flushing of IO/TLB entries when
336 they are unmapped. Otherwise they are
337 flushed before they will be reused, which
339 off - do not initialize any AMD IOMMU found in
341 force_isolation - Force device isolation for all
342 devices. The IOMMU driver is not
343 allowed anymore to lift isolation
344 requirements as needed. This option
345 does not override iommu=pt
347 amd_iommu_dump= [HW,X86-64]
348 Enable AMD IOMMU driver option to dump the ACPI table
349 for AMD IOMMU. With this option enabled, AMD IOMMU
350 driver will print ACPI tables for AMD IOMMU during
351 IOMMU initialization.
353 amijoy.map= [HW,JOY] Amiga joystick support
354 Map of devices attached to JOY0DAT and JOY1DAT
356 See also Documentation/input/joystick.txt
358 analog.map= [HW,JOY] Analog joystick and gamepad support
359 Specifies type or capabilities of an analog joystick
360 connected to one of 16 gameports
361 Format: <type1>,<type2>,..<type16>
364 Power management functions (SPARCstation-4/5 + deriv.)
366 Disable APC CPU standby support. SPARCstation-Fox does
367 not play well with APC CPU idle - disable it if you have
368 APC and your system crashes randomly.
370 apic= [APIC,X86-32] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
371 Change the output verbosity whilst booting
372 Format: { quiet (default) | verbose | debug }
373 Change the amount of debugging information output
374 when initialising the APIC and IO-APIC components.
377 See Documentation/networking/ipv6.txt.
379 show_lapic= [APIC,X86] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
380 Limit apic dumping. The parameter defines the maximal
381 number of local apics being dumped. Also it is possible
382 to set it to "all" by meaning -- no limit here.
383 Format: { 1 (default) | 2 | ... | all }.
384 The parameter valid if only apic=debug or
385 apic=verbose is specified.
386 Example: apic=debug show_lapic=all
388 apm= [APM] Advanced Power Management
389 See header of arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c.

432 boot_delay= Milliseconds to delay each printk during boot.
433 Values larger than 10 seconds (10000) are changed to
437 bootmem_debug [KNL] Enable bootmem allocator debug messages.
439 bttv.card= [HW,V4L] bttv (bt848 + bt878 based grabber cards)
440 bttv.radio= Most important insmod options are available as
442 bttv.pll= See Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Insmod-options
445 bulk_remove=off [PPC] This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
446 firmware feature for flushing multiple hpte entries
449 c101= [NET] Moxa C101 synchronous serial card
451 cachesize= [BUGS=X86-32] Override level 2 CPU cache size detection.
452 Sometimes CPU hardware bugs make them report the cache
453 size incorrectly. The kernel will attempt work arounds
454 to fix known problems, but for some CPUs it is not
455 possible to determine what the correct size should be.
456 This option provides an override for these situations.
458 ccw_timeout_log [S390]
459 See Documentation/s390/CommonIO for details.

462 Format: {name of the controller(s) to disable}
463 {Currently supported controllers - "memory"}
465 checkreqprot [SELINUX] Set initial checkreqprot flag value.
466 Format: { "0" | "1" }
467 See security/selinux/Kconfig help text.
468 0 -- check protection applied by kernel (includes
469 any implied execute protection).
470 1 -- check protection requested by application.
471 Default value is set via a kernel config option.
472 Value can be changed at runtime via
473 /selinux/checkreqprot.
476 See Documentation/s390/CommonIO for details.
479 Keep all clocks already enabled by bootloader on,
480 even if no driver has claimed them. This is useful
481 for debug and development, but should not be
482 needed on a platform with proper driver support.
483 For more information, see Documentation/clk.txt.
485 clock= [BUGS=X86-32, HW] gettimeofday clocksource override.
487 Forces specified clocksource (if available) to be used
488 when calculating gettimeofday(). If specified
489 clocksource is not available, it defaults to PIT.
490 Format: { pit | tsc | cyclone | pmtmr }
492 clocksource= Override the default clocksource
494 Override the default clocksource and use the clocksource
495 with the name specified.
496 Some clocksource names to choose from, depending on

503 [X86-32] pit,hpet,tsc;
504 scx200_hrt on Geode; cyclone on IBM x440
512 clearcpuid=BITNUM [X86]
513 Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
514 arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h for the valid bit
515 numbers. Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
516 stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
518 Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
519 or using the feature without checking anything
520 will still see it. This just prevents it from
521 being used by the kernel or shown in /proc/cpuinfo.
522 Also note the kernel might malfunction if you disable
526 Sets the size of kernel global memory area for contiguous
527 memory allocations. For more information, see
528 include/linux/dma-contiguous.h
530 cmo_free_hint= [PPC] Format: { yes | no }
531 Specify whether pages are marked as being inactive
532 when they are freed. This is used in CMO environments
533 to determine OS memory pressure for page stealing by
537 coherent_pool=nn[KMG] [ARM,KNL]
538 Sets the size of memory pool for coherent, atomic dma
539 allocations, by default set to 256K.

557 condev= [HW,S390] console device
560 console= [KNL] Output console device and options.
562 tty<n> Use the virtual console device <n>.
566 Use the specified serial port. The options are of
567 the form "bbbbpnf", where "bbbb" is the baud rate,
568 "p" is parity ("n", "o", or "e"), "n" is number of
569 bits, and "f" is flow control ("r" for RTS or
570 omit it). Default is "9600n8".
572 See Documentation/serial-console.txt for more
574 Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt for an
577 uart[8250],io,<addr>[,options]
578 uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]
579 Start an early, polled-mode console on the 8250/16550
580 UART at the specified I/O port or MMIO address,
581 switching to the matching ttyS device later. The
582 options are the same as for ttyS, above.
583 hvc<n> Use the hypervisor console device <n>. This is for
584 both Xen and PowerPC hypervisors.
586 If the device connected to the port is not a TTY but a braille
587 device, prepend "brl," before the device type, for instance
589 For now, only VisioBraille is supported.
591 consoleblank= [KNL] The console blank (screen saver) timeout in
592 seconds. Defaults to 10*60 = 10mins. A value of 0
593 disables the blank timer.

605 <first_slot>,<last_slot>,<port>,<enum_bit>[,<debug>]
607 crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]]
608 [KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel'
609 upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical
610 memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel
611 image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset
612 is selected automatically. Check
613 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for further details.
615 crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset]
616 [KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory
617 in the running system. The syntax of range is
618 start-[end] where start and end are both
619 a memory unit (amount[KMG]). See also
620 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for an example.
622 crashkernel=size[KMG],high
623 [KNL, x86_64] range could be above 4G. Allow kernel
624 to allocate physical memory region from top, so could
625 be above 4G if system have more than 4G ram installed.

629 crashkernel=size[KMG],low
630 [KNL, x86_64] range under 4G. When crashkernel=X,high
631 is passed, kernel could allocate physical memory region
632 above 4G, that cause second kernel crash on system
633 that require some amount of low memory, e.g. swiotlb
634 requires at least 64M+32K low memory. Kernel would
635 try to allocate 72M below 4G automatically.
636 This one let user to specify own low range under 4G
637 for second kernel instead.
638 0: to disable low allocation.

660 debug [KNL] Enable kernel debugging (events log level).
663 [KNL] verbose self-tests
665 Print debugging info while doing the locking API
667 We default to 0 (no extra messages), setting it to
668 1 will print _a lot_ more information - normally
669 only useful to kernel developers.
671 debug_objects [KNL] Enable object debugging
674 [KNL] Disable object debugging
676 debug_guardpage_minorder=
677 [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this
678 parameter allows control of the order of pages that will
679 be intentionally kept free (and hence protected) by the
680 buddy allocator. Bigger value increase the probability
681 of catching random memory corruption, but reduce the
682 amount of memory for normal system use. The maximum
683 possible value is MAX_ORDER/2. Setting this parameter
684 to 1 or 2 should be enough to identify most random
685 memory corruption problems caused by bugs in kernel or
686 driver code when a CPU writes to (or reads from) a
687 random memory location. Note that there exists a class
688 of memory corruptions problems caused by buggy H/W or
689 F/W or by drivers badly programing DMA (basically when
690 memory is written at bus level and the CPU MMU is
691 bypassed) which are not detectable by
692 CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, hence this option will not help
693 tracking down these problems.

729 disable_mtrr_cleanup [X86]
730 The kernel tries to adjust MTRR layout from continuous
731 to discrete, to make X server driver able to add WB
732 entry later. This parameter disables that.
734 disable_mtrr_trim [X86, Intel and AMD only]
735 By default the kernel will trim any uncacheable
736 memory out of your available memory pool based on
737 MTRR settings. This parameter disables that behavior,
738 possibly causing your machine to run very slowly.
740 disable_timer_pin_1 [X86]
741 Disable PIN 1 of APIC timer
742 Can be useful to work around chipset bugs.
744 dma_debug=off If the kernel is compiled with DMA_API_DEBUG support,
745 this option disables the debugging code at boot.
747 dma_debug_entries=<number>
748 This option allows to tune the number of preallocated
749 entries for DMA-API debugging code. One entry is
750 required per DMA-API allocation. Use this if the
751 DMA-API debugging code disables itself because the
752 architectural default is too low.
754 dma_debug_driver=<driver_name>
755 With this option the DMA-API debugging driver
756 filter feature can be enabled at boot time. Just
757 pass the driver to filter for as the parameter.
758 The filter can be disabled or changed to another
759 driver later using sysfs.
761 drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<file>
762 Broken monitors, graphic adapters and KVMs may
763 send no or incorrect EDID data sets. This parameter
764 allows to specify an EDID data set in the
765 /lib/firmware directory that is used instead.
766 Generic built-in EDID data sets are used, if one of
767 edid/1024x768.bin, edid/1280x1024.bin,
768 edid/1680x1050.bin, or edid/1920x1080.bin is given
769 and no file with the same name exists. Details and
770 instructions how to build your own EDID data are
771 available in Documentation/EDID/HOWTO.txt. An EDID
772 data set will only be used for a particular connector,

799 earlyprintk=dbgp[debugController#]
801 earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before
802 the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by
803 default because it has some cosmetic problems.
805 Append ",keep" to not disable it when the real console

810 Currently only ttyS0 and ttyS1 may be specified by
811 name. Other I/O ports may be explicitly specified
812 on some architectures (x86 and arm at least) by
813 replacing ttySn with an I/O port address, like this:
814 earlyprintk=serial,0x1008,115200
815 You can find the port for a given device in
816 /proc/tty/driver/serial:

1264 (must be a positive range in ascending order)
1266 <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>
1268 This option can be used to specify one or more CPUs
1269 to isolate from the general SMP balancing and scheduling
1270 algorithms. You can move a process onto or off an
1271 "isolated" CPU via the CPU affinity syscalls or cpuset.
1272 <cpu number> begins at 0 and the maximum value is
1273 "number of CPUs in system - 1".
1275 This option is the preferred way to isolate CPUs. The
1276 alternative -- manually setting the CPU mask of all

1306 pages. In the event, a node is too small to have both
1307 kernelcore and Movable pages, kernelcore pages will
1308 take priority and other nodes will have a larger number
1309 of kernelcore pages. The Movable zone is used for the
1310 allocation of pages that may be reclaimed or moved
1311 by the page migration subsystem. This means that
1312 HugeTLB pages may not be allocated from this zone.
1313 Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem still
1314 use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
1315 zone if it does not.
1317 kgdbdbgp= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
1318 Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]
1319 The controller # is the number of the ehci usb debug
1320 port as it is probed via PCI. The poll interval is
1321 optional and is the number seconds in between
1322 each poll cycle to the debug port in case you need
1323 the functionality for interrupting the kernel with
1324 gdb or control-c on the dbgp connection. When
1325 not using this parameter you use sysrq-g to break into
1326 the kernel debugger.
1328 kgdboc= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over consoles.
1329 Requires a tty driver that supports console polling,
1330 or a supported polling keyboard driver (non-usb).
1331 Serial only format: <serial_device>[,baud]
1332 keyboard only format: kbd
1333 keyboard and serial format: kbd,<serial_device>[,baud]
1334 Optional Kernel mode setting:
1335 kms, kbd format: kms,kbd
1336 kms, kbd and serial format: kms,kbd,<ser_dev>[,baud]
1338 kgdbwait [KGDB] Stop kernel execution and enter the
1339 kernel debugger at the earliest opportunity.
1341 kmac= [MIPS] korina ethernet MAC address.
1342 Configure the RouterBoard 532 series on-chip
1343 Ethernet adapter MAC address.
1345 kmemleak= [KNL] Boot-time kmemleak enable/disable
1346 Valid arguments: on, off
1349 kstack=N [X86] Print N words from the kernel stack
1352 kvm.ignore_msrs=[KVM] Ignore guest accesses to unhandled MSRs.
1353 Default is 0 (don't ignore, but inject #GP)
1355 kvm.mmu_audit= [KVM] This is a R/W parameter which allows audit
1359 kvm-amd.nested= [KVM,AMD] Allow nested virtualization in KVM/SVM.
1360 Default is 1 (enabled)
1362 kvm-amd.npt= [KVM,AMD] Disable nested paging (virtualized MMU)
1364 Default is 1 (enabled) if in 64-bit or 32-bit PAE mode.
1366 kvm-intel.ept= [KVM,Intel] Disable extended page tables
1367 (virtualized MMU) support on capable Intel chips.
1368 Default is 1 (enabled)
1370 kvm-intel.emulate_invalid_guest_state=
1371 [KVM,Intel] Enable emulation of invalid guest states
1372 Default is 0 (disabled)
1374 kvm-intel.flexpriority=
1375 [KVM,Intel] Disable FlexPriority feature (TPR shadow).
1376 Default is 1 (enabled)
1379 [KVM,Intel] Enable VMX nesting (nVMX).
1380 Default is 0 (disabled)
1382 kvm-intel.unrestricted_guest=

1387 kvm-intel.vpid= [KVM,Intel] Disable Virtual Processor Identification
1388 feature (tagged TLBs) on capable Intel chips.
1389 Default is 1 (enabled)
1395 lapic [X86-32,APIC] Enable the local APIC even if BIOS
1398 lapic= [x86,APIC] "notscdeadline" Do not use TSC deadline
1399 value for LAPIC timer one-shot implementation. Default
1400 back to the programmable timer unit in the LAPIC.
1402 lapic_timer_c2_ok [X86,APIC] trust the local apic timer
1405 libata.dma= [LIBATA] DMA control
1406 libata.dma=0 Disable all PATA and SATA DMA
1407 libata.dma=1 PATA and SATA Disk DMA only
1408 libata.dma=2 ATAPI (CDROM) DMA only
1409 libata.dma=4 Compact Flash DMA only
1410 Combinations also work, so libata.dma=3 enables DMA
1411 for disks and CDROMs, but not CFs.
1413 libata.ignore_hpa= [LIBATA] Ignore HPA limit
1414 libata.ignore_hpa=0 keep BIOS limits (default)
1415 libata.ignore_hpa=1 ignore limits, using full disk
1417 libata.noacpi [LIBATA] Disables use of ACPI in libata suspend/resume
1421 libata.force= [LIBATA] Force configurations. The format is comma
1422 separated list of "[ID:]VAL" where ID is
1423 PORT[.DEVICE]. PORT and DEVICE are decimal numbers
1424 matching port, link or device. Basically, it matches
1425 the ATA ID string printed on console by libata. If
1426 the whole ID part is omitted, the last PORT and DEVICE
1427 values are used. If ID hasn't been specified yet, the
1428 configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.
1430 If only DEVICE is omitted, the parameter applies to
1431 the port and all links and devices behind it. DEVICE
1432 number of 0 either selects the first device or the
1433 first fan-out link behind PMP device. It does not
1434 select the host link. DEVICE number of 15 selects the
1435 host link and device attached to it.
1437 The VAL specifies the configuration to force. As long
1438 as there's no ambiguity shortcut notation is allowed.
1439 For example, both 1.5 and 1.5G would work for 1.5Gbps.
1440 The following configurations can be forced.
1442 * Cable type: 40c, 80c, short40c, unk, ign or sata.
1443 Any ID with matching PORT is used.
1445 * SATA link speed limit: 1.5Gbps or 3.0Gbps.
1447 * Transfer mode: pio[0-7], mwdma[0-4] and udma[0-7].
1448 udma[/][16,25,33,44,66,100,133] notation is also
1451 * [no]ncq: Turn on or off NCQ.
1453 * nohrst, nosrst, norst: suppress hard, soft
1456 * rstonce: only attempt one reset during
1457 hot-unplug link recovery
1459 * dump_id: dump IDENTIFY data.
1461 * atapi_dmadir: Enable ATAPI DMADIR bridge support
1463 If there are multiple matching configurations changing
1464 the same attribute, the last one is used.
1466 memblock=debug [KNL] Enable memblock debug messages.
1468 load_ramdisk= [RAM] List of ramdisks to load from floppy
1469 See Documentation/blockdev/ramdisk.txt.
1471 lockd.nlm_grace_period=P [NFS] Assign grace period.
1474 lockd.nlm_tcpport=N [NFS] Assign TCP port.
1477 lockd.nlm_timeout=T [NFS] Assign timeout value.
1480 lockd.nlm_udpport=M [NFS] Assign UDP port.
1483 logibm.irq= [HW,MOUSE] Logitech Bus Mouse Driver
1486 loglevel= All Kernel Messages with a loglevel smaller than the
1487 console loglevel will be printed to the console. It can
1488 also be changed with klogd or other programs. The
1489 loglevels are defined as follows:
1491 0 (KERN_EMERG) system is unusable
1492 1 (KERN_ALERT) action must be taken immediately
1493 2 (KERN_CRIT) critical conditions
1494 3 (KERN_ERR) error conditions
1495 4 (KERN_WARNING) warning conditions
1496 5 (KERN_NOTICE) normal but significant condition
1497 6 (KERN_INFO) informational
1498 7 (KERN_DEBUG) debug-level messages
1500 log_buf_len=n[KMG] Sets the size of the printk ring buffer,
1501 in bytes. n must be a power of two. The default
1502 size is set in the kernel config file.
1504 logo.nologo [FB] Disables display of the built-in Linux logo.
1505 This may be used to provide more screen space for
1506 kernel log messages and is useful when debugging
1507 kernel boot problems.
1509 lp=0 [LP] Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
1510 lp=port[,port...] lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
1511 lp=reset first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
1512 lp=auto printer driver. 'lp=reset' (which can be
1513 specified in addition to the ports) causes
1514 attached printers to be reset. Using
1515 lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
1516 to associate lp devices with, starting with
1517 lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
1518 that lp device, or a parport name such as
1519 'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
1520 port specification list means that device IDs
1521 from each port should be examined, to see if
1522 an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached; if
1523 so, the driver will manage that printer.
1524 See also header of drivers/char/lp.c.
1527 Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
1528 time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
1529 CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
1530 the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
1531 autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
1532 on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
1533 which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
1534 significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
1535 will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
1536 unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
1537 unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
1541 Format: <io>,<irq>,<dma>
1543 machvec= [IA-64] Force the use of a particular machine-vector
1544 (machvec) in a generic kernel.
1545 Example: machvec=hpzx1_swiotlb
1547 machtype= [Loongson] Share the same kernel image file between different
1549 Example: machtype=lemote-yeeloong-2f-7inch
1551 max_addr=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory greater
1552 than or equal to this physical address is ignored.
1554 maxcpus= [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
1555 should make use of. maxcpus=n : n >= 0 limits the
1556 kernel to using 'n' processors. n=0 is a special case,
1557 it is equivalent to "nosmp", which also disables
1560 max_loop= [LOOP] The number of loop block devices that get
1561 (loop.max_loop) unconditionally pre-created at init time. The default
1562 number is configured by BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT. Instead
1563 of statically allocating a predefined number, loop
1564 devices can be requested on-demand with the
1565 /dev/loop-control interface.
1567 mce [X86-32] Machine Check Exception
1569 mce=option [X86-64] See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt
1571 md= [HW] RAID subsystems devices and level
1572 See Documentation/md.txt.
1575 Format: <first>,<last>
1576 Specifies range of consoles to be captured by the MDA.
1578 mem=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Force usage of a specific amount of memory
1579 Amount of memory to be used when the kernel is not able
1580 to see the whole system memory or for test.
1581 [X86] Work as limiting max address. Use together
1582 with memmap= to avoid physical address space collisions.
1583 Without memmap= PCI devices could be placed at addresses
1584 belonging to unused RAM.
1586 mem=nopentium [BUGS=X86-32] Disable usage of 4MB pages for kernel
1590 [KNL,SH] Allow user to override the default size for
1591 per-device physically contiguous DMA buffers.
1593 memmap=exactmap [KNL,X86] Enable setting of an exact
1594 E820 memory map, as specified by the user.
1595 Such memmap=exactmap lines can be constructed based on
1596 BIOS output or other requirements. See the memmap=nn@ss
1599 memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
1600 [KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory
1601 Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
1603 memmap=nn[KMG]#ss[KMG]
1604 [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as ACPI data.
1605 Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
1607 memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
1608 [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as reserved.
1609 Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
1610 Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
1611 memmap=64K$0x18690000
1613 memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
1615 memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
1616 Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
1617 memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
1618 Setting this option will scan the memory
1619 looking for corruption. Enabling this will
1620 both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
1621 from using the memory being corrupted.
1622 However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
1623 repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
1624 affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
1625 to prevent the kernel from using that memory.
1627 memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
1628 By default it checks for corruption in the low
1629 64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
1630 use. Use this parameter to scan for
1631 corruption in more or less memory.
1633 memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
1634 By default it checks for corruption every 60
1635 seconds. Use this parameter to check at some
1636 other rate. 0 disables periodic checking.
1638 memtest= [KNL,X86] Enable memtest
1640 default : 0 <disable>
1641 Specifies the number of memtest passes to be
1642 performed. Each pass selects another test
1643 pattern from a given set of patterns. Memtest
1644 fills the memory with this pattern, validates
1645 memory contents and reserves bad memory
1646 regions that are detected.
1648 meye.*= [HW] Set MotionEye Camera parameters
1649 See Documentation/video4linux/meye.txt.
1651 mfgpt_irq= [IA-32] Specify the IRQ to use for the
1652 Multi-Function General Purpose Timers on AMD Geode
1655 mfgptfix [X86-32] Fix MFGPT timers on AMD Geode platforms when
1656 the BIOS has incorrectly applied a workaround. TinyBIOS
1657 version 0.98 is known to be affected, 0.99 fixes the
1658 problem by letting the user disable the workaround.
1662 min_addr=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory below this
1663 physical address is ignored.
1665 mini2440= [ARM,HW,KNL]
1666 Format:[0..2][b][c][t]
1668 MINI2440 configuration specification:
1669 0 - The attached screen is the 3.5" TFT
1670 1 - The attached screen is the 7" TFT
1671 2 - The VGA Shield is attached (1024x768)
1672 Leaving out the screen size parameter will not load
1673 the TFT driver, and the framebuffer will be left
1675 b - Enable backlight. The TFT backlight pin will be
1676 linked to the kernel VESA blanking code and a GPIO
1677 LED. This parameter is not necessary when using the
1679 c - Enable the s3c camera interface.
1680 t - Reserved for enabling touchscreen support. The
1681 touchscreen support is not enabled in the mainstream
1682 kernel as of 2.6.30, a preliminary port can be found
1683 in the "bleeding edge" mini2440 support kernel at
1684 http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git
1687 [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set, this
1688 parameter allows control of the logging verbosity for
1689 the additional memory initialisation checks. A value
1690 of 0 disables mminit logging and a level of 4 will
1691 log everything. Information is printed at KERN_DEBUG
1692 so loglevel=8 may also need to be specified.
1695 [KNL] When CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, this means that
1696 modules without (valid) signatures will fail to load.
1697 Note that if CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is set, that
1698 is always true, so this option does nothing.
1701 [MOUSE] Maximum time between finger touching and
1702 leaving touchpad surface for touch to be considered
1703 a tap and be reported as a left button click (for
1704 touchpads working in absolute mode only).
1706 mousedev.xres= [MOUSE] Horizontal screen resolution, used for devices
1707 reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
1708 mousedev.yres= [MOUSE] Vertical screen resolution, used for devices
1709 reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
1711 movablecore=nn[KMG] [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter
1712 is similar to kernelcore except it specifies the
1713 amount of memory used for migratable allocations.
1714 If both kernelcore and movablecore is specified,
1715 then kernelcore will be at *least* the specified
1716 value but may be more. If movablecore on its own
1717 is specified, the administrator must be careful
1718 that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
1721 MTD_Partition= [MTD]
1722 Format: <name>,<region-number>,<size>,<offset>
1724 MTD_Region= [MTD] Format:
1725 <name>,<region-number>[,<base>,<size>,<buswidth>,<altbuswidth>]
1728 See drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c.
1730 multitce=off [PPC] This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
1731 firmware feature for updating multiple TCE entries
1734 onenand.bdry= [HW,MTD] Flex-OneNAND Boundary Configuration
1736 Format: [die0_boundary][,die0_lock][,die1_boundary][,die1_lock]
1738 boundary - index of last SLC block on Flex-OneNAND.
1739 The remaining blocks are configured as MLC blocks.
1740 lock - Configure if Flex-OneNAND boundary should be locked.
1741 Once locked, the boundary cannot be changed.
1742 1 indicates lock status, 0 indicates unlock status.
1745 ARM/S3C2412 JIVE boot control
1747 See arch/arm/mach-s3c2412/mach-jive.c
1749 mtouchusb.raw_coordinates=
1750 [HW] Make the MicroTouch USB driver use raw coordinates
1751 ('y', default) or cooked coordinates ('n')
1753 mtrr_chunk_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
1754 used for mtrr cleanup. It is largest continuous chunk
1755 that could hold holes aka. UC entries.
1757 mtrr_gran_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
1758 Used for mtrr cleanup. It is granularity of mtrr block.
1760 Large value could prevent small alignment from
1763 mtrr_spare_reg_nr=n [X86]
1765 Range: 0,7 : spare reg number
1767 Used for mtrr cleanup. It is spare mtrr entries number.
1768 Set to 2 or more if your graphical card needs more.
1770 n2= [NET] SDL Inc. RISCom/N2 synchronous serial card
1772 netdev= [NET] Network devices parameters
1773 Format: <irq>,<io>,<mem_start>,<mem_end>,<name>
1774 Note that mem_start is often overloaded to mean
1775 something different and driver-specific.
1776 This usage is only documented in each driver source
1780 [NETFILTER] Enable connection tracking flow accounting
1781 0 to disable accounting
1782 1 to enable accounting
1785 nfsaddrs= [NFS] Deprecated. Use ip= instead.
1786 See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
1788 nfsroot= [NFS] nfs root filesystem for disk-less boxes.
1789 See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
1791 nfsrootdebug [NFS] enable nfsroot debugging messages.
1792 See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
1794 nfs.callback_tcpport=
1795 [NFS] set the TCP port on which the NFSv4 callback
1796 channel should listen.
1799 [NFS] sets the pathname to the program which is used
1800 to update the NFS client cache entries.
1802 nfs.cache_getent_timeout=
1803 [NFS] sets the timeout after which an attempt to
1804 update a cache entry is deemed to have failed.
1806 nfs.idmap_cache_timeout=
1807 [NFS] set the maximum lifetime for idmapper cache
1811 [NFS] enable 64-bit inode numbers.
1812 If zero, the NFS client will fake up a 32-bit inode
1813 number for the readdir() and stat() syscalls instead
1814 of returning the full 64-bit number.
1815 The default is to return 64-bit inode numbers.
1817 nfs.max_session_slots=
1818 [NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session slots
1819 the client will attempt to negotiate with the server.
1820 This limits the number of simultaneous RPC requests
1821 that the client can send to the NFSv4.1 server.
1822 Note that there is little point in setting this
1823 value higher than the max_tcp_slot_table_limit.
1825 nfs.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
1826 [NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', this option
1827 ensures that both the RPC level authentication
1828 scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use
1829 numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the
1830 'sec=sys' security flavour. In effect it is
1831 disabling idmapping, which can make migration from
1832 legacy NFSv2/v3 systems to NFSv4 easier.
1833 Servers that do not support this mode of operation
1834 will be autodetected by the client, and it will fall
1835 back to using the idmapper.
1836 To turn off this behaviour, set the value to '0'.
1838 [NFS4] Specify an additional fixed unique ident-
1839 ification string that NFSv4 clients can insert into
1840 their nfs_client_id4 string. This is typically a
1841 UUID that is generated at system install time.
1843 nfs.send_implementation_id =
1844 [NFSv4.1] Send client implementation identification
1845 information in exchange_id requests.
1846 If zero, no implementation identification information
1848 The default is to send the implementation identification
1851 nfsd.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
1852 [NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', the NFSv4
1853 server will return only numeric uids and gids to
1854 clients using auth_sys, and will accept numeric uids
1855 and gids from such clients. This is intended to ease
1856 migration from NFSv2/v3.
1858 objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog=
1859 [NFS] [OBJLAYOUT] sets the pathname to the program which
1860 is used to automatically discover and login into new
1861 osd-targets. Please see:
1862 Documentation/filesystems/pnfs.txt for more explanations
1864 nmi_debug= [KNL,AVR32,SH] Specify one or more actions to take
1865 when a NMI is triggered.
1866 Format: [state][,regs][,debounce][,die]
1868 nmi_watchdog= [KNL,BUGS=X86] Debugging features for SMP kernels
1869 Format: [panic,][nopanic,][num]
1871 0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
1872 When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
1873 timeout occurs (or 'nopanic' to override the opposite
1875 This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
1876 need the box quickly up again.
1878 netpoll.carrier_timeout=
1879 [NET] Specifies amount of time (in seconds) that
1880 netpoll should wait for a carrier. By default netpoll
1883 no387 [BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel to use the 387 maths
1884 emulation library even if a 387 maths coprocessor
1888 [HW] Never suspend the console
1889 Disable suspending of consoles during suspend and
1890 hibernate operations. Once disabled, debugging
1891 messages can reach various consoles while the rest
1892 of the system is being put to sleep (ie, while
1893 debugging driver suspend/resume hooks). This may
1894 not work reliably with all consoles, but is known
1895 to work with serial and VGA consoles.
1896 To facilitate more flexible debugging, we also add
1897 console_suspend, a printk module parameter to control
1898 it. Users could use console_suspend (usually
1899 /sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend) to
1900 turn on/off it dynamically.
1902 noaliencache [MM, NUMA, SLAB] Disables the allocation of alien
1903 caches in the slab allocator. Saves per-node memory,
1904 but will impact performance.
1908 noapic [SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel to not make use of any

1950 nofpu [SH] Disable hardware FPU at boot time.
1952 nofxsr [BUGS=X86-32] Disables x86 floating point extended
1953 register save and restore. The kernel will only save
1954 legacy floating-point registers on task switch.
1956 noxsave [BUGS=X86] Disables x86 extended register state save
1957 and restore using xsave. The kernel will fallback to
1958 enabling legacy floating-point and sse state.
1961 on enable eager fpu restore
1962 off disable eager fpu restore
1963 auto selects the default scheme, which automatically
1964 enables eagerfpu restore for xsaveopt.
1966 nohlt [BUGS=ARM,SH] Tells the kernel that the sleep(SH) or
1967 wfi(ARM) instruction doesn't work correctly and not to
1968 use it. This is also useful when using JTAG debugger.
1970 no_file_caps Tells the kernel not to honor file capabilities. The
1971 only way then for a file to be executed with privilege
1972 is to be setuid root or executed by root.
1974 nohalt [IA-64] Tells the kernel not to use the power saving
1975 function PAL_HALT_LIGHT when idle. This increases
1976 power-consumption. On the positive side, it reduces
1977 interrupt wake-up latency, which may improve performance
1978 in certain environments such as networked servers or
1981 nohz= [KNL] Boottime enable/disable dynamic ticks
1982 Valid arguments: on, off
1985 nohz_full= [KNL,BOOT]

2087 cpu0_hotplug [X86] Turn on CPU0 hotplug feature when
2088 CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is off.
2089 Some features depend on CPU0. Known dependencies are:
2090 1. Resume from suspend/hibernate depends on CPU0.
2091 Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you
2092 need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate.
2093 2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be
2094 removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
2095 It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some
2096 machines although I haven't seen such issues so far
2097 after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines.
2098 If the dependencies are under your control, you can
2099 turn on cpu0_hotplug.
2101 nptcg= [IA-64] Override max number of concurrent global TLB
2102 purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or
2105 nr_cpus= [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
2106 could support. nr_cpus=n : n >= 1 limits the kernel to
2107 supporting 'n' processors. Later in runtime you can not
2108 use hotplug cpu feature to put more cpu back to online.
2109 just like you compile the kernel NR_CPUS=n
2111 nr_uarts= [SERIAL] maximum number of UARTs to be registered.
2113 numa_balancing= [KNL,X86] Enable or disable automatic NUMA balancing.
2114 Allowed values are enable and disable
2116 numa_zonelist_order= [KNL, BOOT] Select zonelist order for NUMA.
2117 one of ['zone', 'node', 'default'] can be specified
2118 This can be set from sysctl after boot.
2119 See Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt for details.
2121 ohci1394_dma=early [HW] enable debugging via the ohci1394 driver.
2122 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more
2125 olpc_ec_timeout= [OLPC] ms delay when issuing EC commands
2126 Rather than timing out after 20 ms if an EC
2127 command is not properly ACKed, override the length
2128 of the timeout. We have interrupts disabled while
2129 waiting for the ACK, so if this is set too high
2130 interrupts *may* be lost!
2132 omap_mux= [OMAP] Override bootloader pin multiplexing.
2133 Format: <mux_mode0.mode_name=value>...
2134 For example, to override I2C bus2:
2135 omap_mux=i2c2_scl.i2c2_scl=0x100,i2c2_sda.i2c2_sda=0x100
2137 oprofile.timer= [HW]
2138 Use timer interrupt instead of performance counters
2140 oprofile.cpu_type= Force an oprofile cpu type
2141 This might be useful if you have an older oprofile
2142 userland or if you want common events.
2143 Format: { arch_perfmon }
2144 arch_perfmon: [X86] Force use of architectural
2145 perfmon on Intel CPUs instead of the
2146 CPU specific event set.
2147 timer: [X86] Force use of architectural NMI
2148 timer mode (see also oprofile.timer
2149 for generic hr timer mode)
2150 [s390] Force legacy basic mode sampling
2151 (report cpu_type "timer")
2153 oops=panic Always panic on oopses. Default is to just kill the
2154 process, but there is a small probability of
2155 deadlocking the machine.
2156 This will also cause panics on machine check exceptions.
2157 Useful together with panic=30 to trigger a reboot.
2160 See Documentation/sound/oss/oss-parameters.txt
2162 panic= [KNL] Kernel behaviour on panic: delay <timeout>
2163 timeout > 0: seconds before rebooting
2164 timeout = 0: wait forever
2165 timeout < 0: reboot immediately
2168 parkbd.port= [HW] Parallel port number the keyboard adapter is
2169 connected to, default is 0.
2171 parkbd.mode= [HW] Parallel port keyboard adapter mode of operation,
2172 0 for XT, 1 for AT (default is AT).
2175 parport= [HW,PPT] Specify parallel ports. 0 disables.
2176 Format: { 0 | auto | 0xBBB[,IRQ[,DMA]] }
2177 Use 'auto' to force the driver to use any
2178 IRQ/DMA settings detected (the default is to
2179 ignore detected IRQ/DMA settings because of
2180 possible conflicts). You can specify the base
2181 address, IRQ, and DMA settings; IRQ and DMA
2182 should be numbers, or 'auto' (for using detected
2183 settings on that particular port), or 'nofifo'
2184 (to avoid using a FIFO even if it is detected).
2185 Parallel ports are assigned in the order they
2186 are specified on the command line, starting
2189 parport_init_mode= [HW,PPT]
2190 Configure VIA parallel port to operate in
2191 a specific mode. This is necessary on Pegasos
2192 computer where firmware has no options for setting
2193 up parallel port mode and sets it to spp.
2194 Currently this function knows 686a and 8231 chips.
2195 Format: [spp|ps2|epp|ecp|ecpepp]
2198 Halt all CPUs after the first oops has been printed for
2199 the specified number of seconds. This is to be used if
2200 your oopses keep scrolling off the screen.
2205 See header of drivers/block/paride/pcd.c.
2206 See also Documentation/blockdev/paride.txt.
2208 pci=option[,option...] [PCI] various PCI subsystem options:
2209 earlydump [X86] dump PCI config space before the kernel
2211 off [X86] don't probe for the PCI bus
2212 bios [X86-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
2213 the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
2214 has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
2215 nobios [X86-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
2216 hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
2217 if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
2218 suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
2219 conf1 [X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
2221 conf2 [X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
2223 noaer [PCIE] If the PCIEAER kernel config parameter is
2224 enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
2225 disable the use of PCIE advanced error reporting.
2226 nodomains [PCI] Disable support for multiple PCI
2227 root domains (aka PCI segments, in ACPI-speak).
2228 nommconf [X86] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
2230 check_enable_amd_mmconf [X86] check for and enable
2231 properly configured MMIO access to PCI
2232 config space on AMD family 10h CPU
2233 nomsi [MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
2234 enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
2235 disable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.
2236 noioapicquirk [APIC] Disable all boot interrupt quirks.
2237 Safety option to keep boot IRQs enabled. This
2238 should never be necessary.
2239 ioapicreroute [APIC] Enable rerouting of boot IRQs to the
2240 primary IO-APIC for bridges that cannot disable
2241 boot IRQs. This fixes a source of spurious IRQs
2242 when the system masks IRQs.
2243 noioapicreroute [APIC] Disable workaround that uses the
2244 boot IRQ equivalent of an IRQ that connects to
2245 a chipset where boot IRQs cannot be disabled.
2246 The opposite of ioapicreroute.
2247 biosirq [X86-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
2248 routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
2249 on several machines and they hang the machine
2250 when used, but on other computers it's the only
2251 way to get the interrupt routing table. Try
2252 this option if the kernel is unable to allocate
2253 IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your
2255 rom [X86] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
2256 Use with caution as certain devices share
2257 address decoders between ROMs and other
2259 norom [X86] Do not assign address space to
2260 expansion ROMs that do not already have
2261 BIOS assigned address ranges.
2262 nobar [X86] Do not assign address space to the
2263 BARs that weren't assigned by the BIOS.
2264 irqmask=0xMMMM [X86] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be
2265 assigned automatically to PCI devices. You can
2266 make the kernel exclude IRQs of your ISA cards
2268 pirqaddr=0xAAAAA [X86] Specify the physical address
2269 of the PIRQ table (normally generated
2270 by the BIOS) if it is outside the
2271 F0000h-100000h range.
2272 lastbus=N [X86] Scan all buses thru bus #N. Can be
2273 useful if the kernel is unable to find your
2274 secondary buses and you want to tell it
2275 explicitly which ones they are.
2276 assign-busses [X86] Always assign all PCI bus
2277 numbers ourselves, overriding
2278 whatever the firmware may have done.
2279 usepirqmask [X86] Honor the possible IRQ mask stored
2280 in the BIOS $PIR table. This is needed on
2281 some systems with broken BIOSes, notably
2282 some HP Pavilion N5400 and Omnibook XE3
2283 notebooks. This will have no effect if ACPI
2284 IRQ routing is enabled.
2285 noacpi [X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
2286 or for PCI scanning.
2287 use_crs [X86] Use PCI host bridge window information
2288 from ACPI. On BIOSes from 2008 or later, this
2289 is enabled by default. If you need to use this,
2290 please report a bug.
2291 nocrs [X86] Ignore PCI host bridge windows from ACPI.
2292 If you need to use this, please report a bug.
2293 routeirq Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
2294 This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
2295 so this option is a temporary workaround
2296 for broken drivers that don't call it.
2297 skip_isa_align [X86] do not align io start addr, so can
2298 handle more pci cards
2299 firmware [ARM] Do not re-enumerate the bus but instead
2300 just use the configuration from the
2301 bootloader. This is currently used on
2302 IXP2000 systems where the bus has to be
2303 configured a certain way for adjunct CPUs.
2304 noearly [X86] Don't do any early type 1 scanning.
2305 This might help on some broken boards which
2306 machine check when some devices' config space
2307 is read. But various workarounds are disabled
2308 and some IOMMU drivers will not work.
2309 bfsort Sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
2310 This sorting is done to get a device
2311 order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
2312 nobfsort Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
2313 pcie_bus_tune_off Disable PCIe MPS (Max Payload Size)
2314 tuning and use the BIOS-configured MPS defaults.
2315 pcie_bus_safe Set every device's MPS to the largest value
2316 supported by all devices below the root complex.
2317 pcie_bus_perf Set device MPS to the largest allowable MPS
2318 based on its parent bus. Also set MRRS (Max
2319 Read Request Size) to the largest supported
2320 value (no larger than the MPS that the device
2321 or bus can support) for best performance.
2322 pcie_bus_peer2peer Set every device's MPS to 128B, which
2323 every device is guaranteed to support. This
2324 configuration allows peer-to-peer DMA between
2325 any pair of devices, possibly at the cost of
2326 reduced performance. This also guarantees
2327 that hot-added devices will work.
2328 cbiosize=nn[KMG] The fixed amount of bus space which is
2329 reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.
2330 The default value is 256 bytes.

2332 reserved for the CardBus bridge's memory
2333 window. The default value is 64 megabytes.
2336 [<order of align>@][<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>.<func>[; ...]
2337 Specifies alignment and device to reassign
2338 aligned memory resources.
2339 If <order of align> is not specified,
2340 PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment.
2341 PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource
2342 windows need to be expanded.
2343 ecrc= Enable/disable PCIe ECRC (transaction layer
2344 end-to-end CRC checking).

2536 In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y, set
2537 the specified list of CPUs to be no-callback CPUs.
2538 Invocation of these CPUs' RCU callbacks will
2539 be offloaded to "rcuox/N" kthreads created for
2540 that purpose, where "x" is "b" for RCU-bh, "p"
2541 for RCU-preempt, and "s" for RCU-sched, and "N"
2542 is the CPU number. This reduces OS jitter on the
2543 offloaded CPUs, which can be useful for HPC and
2545 real-time workloads. It can also improve energy
2546 efficiency for asymmetric multiprocessors.
2548 rcu_nocb_poll [KNL,BOOT]
2549 Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
2550 (specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
2551 awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
2552 make these kthreads poll for callbacks.
2553 This improves the real-time response for the
2554 offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
2555 wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
2556 energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
2557 periodically wake up to do the polling.

2619 Set number of concurrent RCU writers. These just
2620 stress RCU, they don't participate in the actual
2621 test, hence the "fake".

2656 ability to transition abruptly to and from idle.
2658 rcutorture.test_boost= [KNL,BOOT]
2659 Test RCU priority boosting? 0=no, 1=maybe, 2=yes.

2831 slub_debug[=options[,slabs]] [MM, SLUB]
2832 Enabling slub_debug allows one to determine the
2833 culprit if slab objects become corrupted. Enabling
2834 slub_debug can create guard zones around objects and
2835 may poison objects when not in use. Also tracks the
2836 last alloc / free. For more information see
2837 Documentation/vm/slub.txt.

2919 sunrpc.min_resvport=
2920 sunrpc.max_resvport=
2922 SunRPC servers often require that client requests
2923 originate from a privileged port (i.e. a port in the
2924 range 0 < portnr < 1024).
2925 An administrator who wishes to reserve some of these
2926 ports for other uses may adjust the range that the
2927 kernel's sunrpc client considers to be privileged
2928 using these two parameters to set the minimum and
2929 maximum port values.
2933 Control how the NFS server code allocates CPUs to
2934 service thread pools. Depending on how many NICs
2935 you have and where their interrupts are bound, this
2936 option will affect which CPUs will do NFS serving.
2937 Note: this parameter cannot be changed while the
2938 NFS server is running.
2940 auto the server chooses an appropriate mode
2941 automatically using heuristics

2948 sunrpc.udp_slot_table_entries=
2950 Sets the upper limit on the number of simultaneous
2951 RPC calls that can be sent from the client to a
2952 server. Increasing these values may allow you to
2953 improve throughput, but will also increase the
2954 amount of memory reserved for use by the client.

3052 Format: integer pcr id
3053 Specify that at suspend time, the tpm driver

3065 to facilitate early boot debugging.
3066 See also Documentation/trace/events.txt
3068 trace_options=[option-list]
3069 [FTRACE] Enable or disable tracer options at boot.
3070 The option-list is a comma delimited list of options
3071 that can be enabled or disabled just as if you were
3072 to echo the option name into
3074 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options
3076 For example, to enable stacktrace option (to dump the
3077 stack trace of each event), add to the command line:
3079 trace_options=stacktrace
3081 See also Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt "trace options"
3085 [FTRACE] enable this option to disable tracing when a
3086 warning is hit. This turns off "tracing_on". Tracing can
3087 be enabled again by echoing '1' into the "tracing_on"
3088 file located in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
3090 This option is useful, as it disables the trace before
3091 the WARNING dump is called, which prevents the trace to
3092 be filled with content caused by the warning output.
3094 This option can also be set at run time via the sysctl
3095 option: kernel/traceoff_on_warning
3097 transparent_hugepage=
3099 Format: [always|madvise|never]

3174 (default 5000 = 5.0 seconds).
3177 [USBHID] The interval which mice are to be polled at.
3179 usb-storage.delay_use=
3180 [UMS] The delay in seconds before a new device is
3181 scanned for Logical Units (default 5).
3184 [UMS] A list of quirks entries to supplement or
3185 override the built-in unusual_devs list. List
3186 entries are separated by commas. Each entry has
3187 the form VID:PID:Flags where VID and PID are Vendor
3188 and Product ID values (4-digit hex numbers) and
3189 Flags is a set of characters, each corresponding
3190 to a common usb-storage quirk flag as follows:
3191 a = SANE_SENSE (collect more than 18 bytes
3193 b = BAD_SENSE (don't collect more than 18
3194 bytes of sense data);
3195 c = FIX_CAPACITY (decrease the reported
3196 device capacity by one sector);
3197 d = NO_READ_DISC_INFO (don't use
3198 READ_DISC_INFO command);
3199 e = NO_READ_CAPACITY_16 (don't use
3200 READ_CAPACITY_16 command);
3201 h = CAPACITY_HEURISTICS (decrease the
3202 reported device capacity by one
3203 sector if the number is odd);
3204 i = IGNORE_DEVICE (don't bind to this
3206 l = NOT_LOCKABLE (don't try to lock and
3207 unlock ejectable media);
3208 m = MAX_SECTORS_64 (don't transfer more
3209 than 64 sectors = 32 KB at a time);
3210 n = INITIAL_READ10 (force a retry of the
3211 initial READ(10) command);
3212 o = CAPACITY_OK (accept the capacity
3213 reported by the device);
3214 p = WRITE_CACHE (the device cache is ON
3216 r = IGNORE_RESIDUE (the device reports
3217 bogus residue values);
3218 s = SINGLE_LUN (the device has only one
3220 w = NO_WP_DETECT (don't test whether the
3221 medium is write-protected).
3222 Example: quirks=0419:aaf5:rl,0421:0433:rc
3224 user_debug= [KNL,ARM]
3226 See arch/arm/Kconfig.debug help text.
3227 1 - undefined instruction events
3229 4 - invalid data aborts
3232 Example: user_debug=31
3235 [X86] Flags controlling user PTE allocations.
3237 nohigh = do not allocate PTE pages in
3238 HIGHMEM regardless of setting
3242 vdso=2: enable compat VDSO (default with COMPAT_VDSO)
3243 vdso=1: enable VDSO (default)
3244 vdso=0: disable VDSO mapping
3247 vdso32=2: enable compat VDSO (default with COMPAT_VDSO)

3254 video= [FB] Frame buffer configuration
3255 See Documentation/fb/modedb.txt.
3257 video.brightness_switch_enabled= [0,1]
3258 If set to 1, on receiving an ACPI notify event
3259 generated by hotkey, video driver will adjust brightness
3260 level and then send out the event to user space through
3261 the allocated input device; If set to 0, video driver
3262 will only send out the event without touching backlight
3267 [VMMIO] Memory mapped virtio (platform) device.
3269 <size>@<baseaddr>:<irq>[:<id>]
3271 <size> := size (can use standard suffixes
3273 <baseaddr> := physical base address
3274 <irq> := interrupt number (as passed to
3276 <id> := (optional) platform device id
3278 virtio_mmio.device=1K@0x100b0000:48:7
3280 Can be used multiple times for multiple devices.
3282 vga= [BOOT,X86-32] Select a particular video mode
3283 See Documentation/x86/boot.txt and
3284 Documentation/svga.txt.
3285 Use vga=ask for menu.
3286 This is actually a boot loader parameter; the value is
3287 passed to the kernel using a special protocol.
3289 vmalloc=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Forces the vmalloc area to have an exact
3290 size of <nn>. This can be used to increase the
3291 minimum size (128MB on x86). It can also be used to
3292 decrease the size and leave more room for directly
3295 vmhalt= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after system halt.
3298 vmpanic= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after kernel panic.
3301 vmpoff= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after power off.
3305 Controls the behavior of vsyscalls (i.e. calls to
3306 fixed addresses of 0xffffffffff600x00 from legacy
3307 code). Most statically-linked binaries and older
3308 versions of glibc use these calls. Because these
3309 functions are at fixed addresses, they make nice
3310 targets for exploits that can control RIP.
3312 emulate [default] Vsyscalls turn into traps and are
3313 emulated reasonably safely.
3315 native Vsyscalls are native syscall instructions.
3316 This is a little bit faster than trapping
3317 and makes a few dynamic recompilers work
3318 better than they would in emulation mode.
3319 It also makes exploits much easier to write.
3321 none Vsyscalls don't work at all. This makes
3322 them quite hard to use for exploits but
3323 might break your system.
3325 vt.cur_default= [VT] Default cursor shape.
3326 Format: 0xCCBBAA, where AA, BB, and CC are the same as
3327 the parameters of the <Esc>[?A;B;Cc escape sequence;
3328 see VGA-softcursor.txt. Default: 2 = underline.
3330 vt.default_blu= [VT]
3331 Format: <blue0>,<blue1>,<blue2>,...,<blue15>
3332 Change the default blue palette of the console.
3333 This is a 16-member array composed of values
3336 vt.default_grn= [VT]
3337 Format: <green0>,<green1>,<green2>,...,<green15>
3338 Change the default green palette of the console.
3339 This is a 16-member array composed of values
3342 vt.default_red= [VT]
3343 Format: <red0>,<red1>,<red2>,...,<red15>
3344 Change the default red palette of the console.
3345 This is a 16-member array composed of values
3351 Set system-wide default UTF-8 mode for all tty's.
3352 Default is 1, i.e. UTF-8 mode is enabled for all
3353 newly opened terminals.
3355 vt.global_cursor_default=
3358 Set system-wide default for whether a cursor
3359 is shown on new VTs. Default is -1,
3360 i.e. cursors will be created by default unless
3361 overridden by individual drivers. 0 will hide
3362 cursors, 1 will display them.
3364 watchdog timers [HW,WDT] For information on watchdog timers,
3365 see Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt
3366 or other driver-specific files in the
3367 Documentation/watchdog/ directory.
3369 workqueue.disable_numa
3370 By default, all work items queued to unbound
3371 workqueues are affine to the NUMA nodes they're
3372 issued on, which results in better behavior in
3373 general. If NUMA affinity needs to be disabled for
3374 whatever reason, this option can be used. Note
3375 that this also can be controlled per-workqueue for
3376 workqueues visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/.
3378 workqueue.power_efficient
3379 Per-cpu workqueues are generally preferred because
3380 they show better performance thanks to cache
3381 locality; unfortunately, per-cpu workqueues tend to
3382 be more power hungry than unbound workqueues.
3384 Enabling this makes the per-cpu workqueues which
3385 were observed to contribute significantly to power
3386 consumption unbound, leading to measurably lower
3387 power usage at the cost of small performance
3390 The default value of this parameter is determined by
3391 the config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
3393 x2apic_phys [X86-64,APIC] Use x2apic physical mode instead of
3394 default x2apic cluster mode on platforms

3398 Choose timer option for x86 Moorestown MID platform.
3399 Two valid options are apbt timer only and lapic timer
3400 plus one apbt timer for broadcast timer.
3401 x86_mrst_timer=apbt_only | lapic_and_apbt
3403 xen_emul_unplug= [HW,X86,XEN]
3404 Unplug Xen emulated devices

3407 aux-ide-disks -- unplug non-primary-master IDE devices
3408 nics -- unplug network devices
3409 all -- unplug all emulated devices (NICs and IDE disks)
