176 for larger buffers it just a waste of address space. Drivers which has

180 With this parameter you can specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for

604 When coming out of either a Wait for Interrupt (WFI) or a Wait for

606 the retiring WFI/WFE instructions and the newly issued subsequent
607 instructions. This sensitivity can result in a CPU hang scenario.

617 Executing a SWP instruction to read-only memory does not set bit 11
618 of the FSR on the ARM 1136 prior to r1p0. This causes the kernel to
619 treat the access as a read, preventing a COW from occurring and

629 recommended workaround.

632 bool "ARM errata: Stale prediction on replaced interworking branch"
635 This option enables the workaround for the 430973 Cortex-A8
636 r1p* erratum. If a code sequence containing an ARM/Thumb
637 interworking branch is replaced with another code sequence at the
638 same virtual address, whether due to self-modifying code or virtual
639 to physical address re-mapping, Cortex-A8 does not recover from the
640 stale interworking branch prediction. This results in Cortex-A8
641 executing the new code sequence in the incorrect ARM or Thumb state.
642 The workaround enables the BTB/BTAC operations by setting ACTLR.IBE
643 and also flushes the branch target cache at every context switch.
644 Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register may not be
645 available in non-secure mode.

650 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
652 This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
653 erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
654 possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
655 be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
656 hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
657 the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
658 in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
659 register may not be available in non-secure mode.

662 bool "ARM errata: Data written to the L2 cache can be overwritten with stale data"

666 This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
667 erratum. Any asynchronous access to the L2 cache may encounter a
668 situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost
669 and overwritten with stale memory contents from external memory. The
670 workaround disables the write-allocate mode for the L2 cache via the
671 ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register
672 may not be available in non-secure mode.

679 This option enables the workaround for the 742230 Cortex-A9
680 (r1p0..r2p2) erratum. Under rare circumstances, a DMB instruction
681 between two write operations may not ensure the correct visibility
682 ordering of the two writes. This workaround sets a specific bit in
683 the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9 which causes the DMB
684 instruction to behave as a DSB, ensuring the correct behaviour of

692 This option enables the workaround for the 742231 Cortex-A9
693 (r2p0..r2p2) erratum. Under certain conditions, specific to the
694 Cortex-A9 MPCore micro-architecture, two CPUs working in SMP mode,
695 accessing some data located in the same cache line, may get corrupted
696 data due to bad handling of the address hazard when the line gets
697 replaced from one of the CPUs at the same time as another CPU is
698 accessing it. This workaround sets specific bits in the diagnostic
699 register of the Cortex-A9 which reduces the linefill issuing

709 register returns zero when it should return one. The workaround
710 corrects this value, ensuring cache maintenance operations which use
711 it behave as intended and avoiding data corruption.
713 config ARM_ERRATA_720789
714 bool "ARM errata: TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS operations can broadcast a faulty ASID"
717 This option enables the workaround for the 720789 Cortex-A9 (prior to
718 r2p0) erratum. A faulty ASID can be sent to the other CPUs for the
719 broadcasted CP15 TLB maintenance operations TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS.
720 As a consequence of this erratum, some TLB entries which should be
721 invalidated are not, resulting in an incoherency in the system page
722 tables. The workaround changes the TLB flushing routines to invalidate
723 entries regardless of the ASID.
725 config ARM_ERRATA_743622
726 bool "ARM errata: Faulty hazard checking in the Store Buffer may lead to data corruption"
728 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
730 This option enables the workaround for the 743622 Cortex-A9
731 (r2p*) erratum. Under very rare conditions, a faulty
732 optimisation in the Cortex-A9 Store Buffer may lead to data
733 corruption. This workaround sets a specific bit in the diagnostic
734 register of the Cortex-A9 which disables the Store Buffer
735 optimisation, preventing the defect from occurring. This has no
736 visible impact on the overall performance or power consumption of the
739 config ARM_ERRATA_751472
740 bool "ARM errata: Interrupted ICIALLUIS may prevent completion of broadcasted operation"
742 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
744 This option enables the workaround for the 751472 Cortex-A9 (prior
745 to r3p0) erratum. An interrupted ICIALLUIS operation may prevent the
746 completion of a following broadcasted operation if the second
747 operation is received by a CPU before the ICIALLUIS has completed,
748 potentially leading to corrupted entries in the cache or TLB.
750 config ARM_ERRATA_754322
751 bool "ARM errata: possible faulty MMU translations following an ASID switch"
754 This option enables the workaround for the 754322 Cortex-A9 (r2p*,
755 r3p*) erratum. A speculative memory access may cause a page table walk
756 which starts prior to an ASID switch but completes afterwards. This
757 can populate the micro-TLB with a stale entry which may be hit with
758 the new ASID. This workaround places two dsb instructions in the mm
759 switching code so that no page table walks can cross the ASID switch.
761 config ARM_ERRATA_754327
762 bool "ARM errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"
763 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
765 This option enables the workaround for the 754327 Cortex-A9 (prior to
766 r2p0) erratum. The Store Buffer does not have any automatic draining
767 mechanism and therefore a livelock may occur if an external agent
768 continuously polls a memory location waiting to observe an update.
769 This workaround defines cpu_relax() as smp_mb(), preventing correctly
770 written polling loops from denying visibility of updates to memory.
772 config ARM_ERRATA_364296
773 bool "ARM errata: Possible cache data corruption with hit-under-miss enabled"
776 This options enables the workaround for the 364296 ARM1136
777 r0p2 erratum (possible cache data corruption with
778 hit-under-miss enabled). It sets the undocumented bit 31 in
779 the auxiliary control register and the FI bit in the control
780 register, thus disabling hit-under-miss without putting the
781 processor into full low interrupt latency mode. ARM11MPCore

786 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
788 This option enables the workaround for erratum 764369
789 affecting Cortex-A9 MPCore with two or more processors (all
790 current revisions). Under certain timing circumstances, a data
791 cache line maintenance operation by MVA targeting an Inner
792 Shareable memory region may fail to proceed up to either the
793 Point of Coherency or to the Point of Unification of the
794 system. This workaround adds a DSB instruction before the
795 relevant cache maintenance functions and sets a specific bit
796 in the diagnostic control register of the SCU.
798 config ARM_ERRATA_764319
799 bool "ARM errata: Read to DBGPRSR and DBGOSLSR may generate Undefined instruction"
802 This option enables the workaround for the 764319 Cortex A-9 erratum.
803 CP14 read accesses to the DBGPRSR and DBGOSLSR registers generate an
804 unexpected Undefined Instruction exception when the DBGSWENABLE
805 external pin is set to 0, even when the CP14 accesses are performed
806 from a privileged mode. This work around catches the exception in a
807 way the kernel does not stop execution.
809 config ARM_ERRATA_775420
810 bool "ARM errata: A data cache maintenance operation which aborts, might lead to deadlock"
813 This option enables the workaround for the 775420 Cortex-A9 (r2p2,
814 r2p6,r2p8,r2p10,r3p0) erratum. In case a data cache maintenance
815 operation aborts with MMU exception, it might cause the processor
816 to deadlock. This workaround puts DSB before executing ISB if
817 an abort may occur on cache maintenance.

823 On Cortex-A15 (r0p0..r3p2) the TLBI*IS/DSB operations are not
824 adequately shooting down all use of the old entries. This
825 option enables the Linux kernel workaround for this erratum
826 which sends an IPI to the CPUs that are running the same ASID
827 as the one being invalidated.
829 config ARM_ERRATA_773022
830 bool "ARM errata: incorrect instructions may be executed from loop buffer"
833 This option enables the workaround for the 773022 Cortex-A15
834 (up to r0p4) erratum. In certain rare sequences of code, the
835 loop buffer may deliver incorrect instructions. This
836 workaround disables the loop buffer to avoid the erratum.
838 config ARM_ERRATA_818325_852422

844 instruction might deadlock. Fixed in r0p1.
845 - Cortex-A12 852422: Execution of a sequence of instructions might
846 lead to either a data corruption or a CPU deadlock. Not fixed in
847 any Cortex-A12 cores yet.
848 This workaround for all both errata involves setting bit[12] of the
849 Feature Register. This bit disables an optimisation applied to a
850 sequence of 2 instructions that use opposing condition codes.
852 config ARM_ERRATA_821420
853 bool "ARM errata: A12: sequence of VMOV to core registers might lead to a dead lock"
856 This option enables the workaround for the 821420 Cortex-A12
857 (all revs) erratum. In very rare timing conditions, a sequence
858 of VMOV to Core registers instructions, for which the second
859 one is in the shadow of a branch or abort, can lead to a

1396 default y if CPU_FEROCEON
1398 Implement faster copy_to_user and clear_user methods for CPU
1399 cores where a 8-word STM instruction give significantly higher
1400 memory write throughput than a sequence of individual 32bit stores.
1402 A possible side effect is a slight increase in scheduling latency
1403 between threads sharing the same address space if they invoke
1404 such copy operations with large buffers.
1406 However, if the CPU data cache is using a write-allocate mode,
1407 this option is unlikely to provide any performance gain.
1410 bool "Enable paravirtualization code"
1412 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
1413 under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
1414 over full virtualization.
1416 config PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING
1417 bool "Paravirtual steal time accounting"
1420 Select this option to enable fine granularity task steal time
1421 accounting. Time spent executing other tasks in parallel with
1422 the current vCPU is discounted from the vCPU power. To account for
1423 that, there can be a small performance impact.
1425 If in doubt, say N here.
1432 bool "Xen guest support on ARM"
1433 depends on ARM && AEABI && OF
1434 depends on CPU_V7 && !CPU_V6
1435 depends on !GENERIC_ATOMIC64
1437 select ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
1443 Say Y if you want to run Linux in a Virtual Machine on Xen on ARM.
1445 config CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_TLS
1446 def_bool $(cc-option,-mtp=cp15 -mstack-protector-guard=tls -mstack-protector-guard-offset=0)
1448 config STACKPROTECTOR_PER_TASK
1449 bool "Use a unique stack canary value for each task"
1450 depends on STACKPROTECTOR && CURRENT_POINTER_IN_TPIDRURO && !XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
1451 depends on GCC_PLUGINS || CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_TLS
1452 select GCC_PLUGIN_ARM_SSP_PER_TASK if !CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_TLS
1455 Due to the fact that GCC uses an ordinary symbol reference from
1456 which to load the value of the stack canary, this value can only
1457 change at reboot time on SMP systems, and all tasks running in the
1458 kernel's address space are forced to use the same canary value for
1459 the entire duration that the system is up.
1461 Enable this option to switch to a different method that uses a
1462 different canary value for each task.
1469 bool "Flattened Device Tree support"
1473 Include support for flattened device tree machine descriptions.
1476 bool "Support for the traditional ATAGS boot data passing"
1479 This is the traditional way of passing data to the kernel at boot
1480 time. If you are solely relying on the flattened device tree (or
1481 the ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT option) then you may unselect this option
1482 to remove ATAGS support from your kernel binary.
1484 config UNUSED_BOARD_FILES
1485 bool "Board support for machines without known users"
1488 Most ATAGS based board files are completely unused and are
1489 scheduled for removal in early 2023, and left out of kernels
1490 by default now. If you are using a board file that is marked
1491 as unused, turn on this option to build support into the kernel.
1493 To keep support for your individual board from being removed,
1494 send a reply to the email discussion at

1497 config DEPRECATED_PARAM_STRUCT
1498 bool "Provide old way to pass kernel parameters"
1501 This was deprecated in 2001 and announced to live on for 5 years.
1502 Some old boot loaders still use this way.

1505 # TEXT and BSS so we preserve their values in the config files.
1506 config ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT
1507 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
1510 The physical address at which the ROM-able zImage is to be
1511 placed in the target. Platforms which normally make use of
1512 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
1513 value in their defconfig file.
1515 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1517 config ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1518 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader BSS address"
1521 The base address of an area of read/write memory in the target
1522 for the ROM-able zImage which must be available while the
1523 decompressor is running. It must be large enough to hold the
1524 entire decompressed kernel plus an additional 128 KiB.
1525 Platforms which normally make use of ROM-able zImage formats
1526 normally set this to a suitable value in their defconfig file.
1528 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1531 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
1532 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1533 depends on !ARM_APPENDED_DTB && !XIP_KERNEL && !AUTO_ZRELADDR
1535 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
1536 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
1538 config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1539 bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1542 With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
1543 (DTB) appended to zImage
1544 (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
1546 This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
1547 systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
1548 the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
1550 Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
1551 this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
1552 look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
1553 to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
1554 if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
1555 location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
1558 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT
1559 bool "Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information"
1560 depends on ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1562 Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a DTB capable one, yet
1563 they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
1564 the kernel cmdline string, etc. Such information is dynamically
1565 provided by the bootloader and can't always be stored in a static
1566 DTB. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such
1567 bootloaders, this option allows zImage to extract the information
1568 from the ATAG list and store it at run time into the appended DTB.

1574 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1575 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1577 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader instead of
1578 the device tree bootargs property. If the boot loader doesn't provide
1579 any, the device tree bootargs property will be used.
1581 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_EXTEND
1582 bool "Extend with bootloader kernel arguments"
1584 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1585 appended to the the device tree bootargs property.
1590 string "Default kernel command string"
1593 On some architectures (e.g. CATS), there is currently no way
1594 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
1595 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
1596 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
1597 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
1600 prompt "Kernel command line type" if CMDLINE != ""
1601 default CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1603 config CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1604 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1606 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader. If
1607 the boot loader doesn't provide any, the default kernel command
1608 string provided in CMDLINE will be used.
1610 config CMDLINE_EXTEND
1611 bool "Extend bootloader kernel arguments"
1613 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1614 appended to the default kernel command string.
1616 config CMDLINE_FORCE
1617 bool "Always use the default kernel command string"
1619 Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
1620 loader passes other arguments to the kernel.
1621 This is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the
1622 command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel.
1626 bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
1627 depends on !ARM_LPAE && !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1628 depends on !ARM_PATCH_IDIV && !ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT && !SMP_ON_UP
1630 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
1631 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
1632 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
1633 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
1634 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
1635 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
1636 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
1637 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
1638 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
1639 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
1641 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
1642 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
1643 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.
1647 config XIP_PHYS_ADDR
1648 hex "XIP Kernel Physical Location"
1649 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1650 default "0x00080000"
1652 This is the physical address in your flash memory the kernel will
1653 be linked for and stored to. This address is dependent on your
1656 config XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
1657 bool "Store kernel .data section compressed in ROM"
1658 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1661 Before the kernel is actually executed, its .data section has to be
1662 copied to RAM from ROM. This option allows for storing that data
1663 in compressed form and decompressed to RAM rather than merely being
1664 copied, saving some precious ROM space. A possible drawback is a
1665 slightly longer boot delay.
1668 bool "Kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1669 depends on (!SMP || PM_SLEEP_SMP)
1673 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1674 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1675 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1676 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1678 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1679 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1680 initially work for you.
1683 bool "Export atags in procfs"
1684 depends on ATAGS && KEXEC
1687 Should the atags used to boot the kernel be exported in an "atags"
1688 file in procfs. Useful with kexec.
1691 bool "Build kdump crash kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1693 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec. This should
1694 be normally only set in special crash dump kernels which are
1695 loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into a specially
1696 reserved region and then later executed after a crash by
1697 kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled to a
1698 memory address not used by the main kernel
1700 For more details see Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst
1702 config AUTO_ZRELADDR
1703 bool "Auto calculation of the decompressed kernel image address" if !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1704 default !(ARCH_FOOTBRIDGE || ARCH_RPC || ARCH_SA1100)
1706 ZRELADDR is the physical address where the decompressed kernel
1707 image will be placed. If AUTO_ZRELADDR is selected, the address
1708 will be determined at run-time, either by masking the current IP
1709 with 0xf8000000, or, if invalid, from the DTB passed in r2.
1710 This assumes the zImage being placed in the first 128MB from

1720 select EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
1722 select EFI_GENERIC_STUB
1723 select EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
1725 This option provides support for runtime services provided
1726 by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime
1727 clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to
1728 allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This
1729 is only useful for kernels that may run on systems that have
1733 bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables"
1737 This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems.
1739 This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
1740 However, even with this option, the resultant kernel should
1741 continue to boot on existing non-UEFI platforms.
1743 NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks,
1744 i.e., the the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to
1745 decide whether certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or
1746 firmware need to be enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem
1747 to be enabled much earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

1767 Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
1768 This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
1769 support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if
1770 your machine has an FPA or floating point co-processor podule.
1772 You may say N here if you are going to load the Acorn FPEmulator
1773 early in the bootup.
1776 bool "Support extended precision"
1777 depends on FPE_NWFPE
1779 Say Y to include 80-bit support in the kernel floating-point
1780 emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
1781 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
1782 so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
1783 floating point emulator without any good reason.
1785 You almost surely want to say N here.
1788 bool "FastFPE math emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1789 depends on (!AEABI || OABI_COMPAT) && !CPU_32v3
1791 Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
1792 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
1793 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
1794 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
1796 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
1797 for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.
