13 The ARM series is a line of low-power-consumption RISC chip designs
14 licensed by ARM Ltd and targeted at embedded applications and
15 handhelds such as the Compaq IPAQ. ARM-based PCs are no longer
16 manufactured, but legacy ARM-based PC hardware remains popular in
17 Europe. There is an ARM Linux project with a web page at
18 <http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/>.
31 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
32 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
34 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
35 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
36 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
37 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
39 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
49 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
50 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
51 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
52 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

450 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
451 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
452 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
454 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
455 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
456 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all, single
457 processor machines. On a single processor machine, the kernel will
458 run faster if you say N here.

478 can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu.
481 bool "Use local timer interrupts"
482 depends on SMP && REALVIEW_MPCORE
485 Enable support for local timers on SMP platforms, rather then the
486 legacy IPI broadcast method. Local timers allows the system
487 accounting to be spread across the timer interval, preventing a
488 "thundering herd" at every timer tick.
491 bool "Preemptible Kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
492 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
494 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
495 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
496 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
497 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
500 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
501 or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.
504 bool "Dynamic tick timer"
506 Select this option if you want to disable continuous timer ticks
507 and have them programmed to occur as required. This option saves
508 power as the system can remain in idle state for longer.
510 By default dynamic tick is disabled during the boot, and can be
511 manually enabled with:
513 echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/timer/timer0/dyn_tick
515 Alternatively, if you want dynamic tick automatically enabled
516 during boot, pass "dyntick=enable" via the kernel command string.
518 Please note that dynamic tick may affect the accuracy of
519 timekeeping on some platforms depending on the implementation.
520 Currently at least OMAP, PXA2xx and SA11x0 platforms are known
521 to have accurate timekeeping with dynamic tick.

531 bool "Use the ARM EABI to compile the kernel"
533 This option allows for the kernel to be compiled using the latest
534 ARM ABI (aka EABI). This is only useful if you are using a user
535 space environment that is also compiled with EABI.
537 Since there are major incompatibilities between the legacy ABI and
538 EABI, especially with regard to structure member alignment, this
539 option also changes the kernel syscall calling convention to
540 disambiguate both ABIs and allow for backward compatibility support
541 (selected with CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT).
543 To use this you need GCC version 4.0.0 or later.
546 bool "Allow old ABI binaries to run with this kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
547 depends on AEABI && EXPERIMENTAL
550 This option preserves the old syscall interface along with the
551 new (ARM EABI) one. It also provides a compatibility layer to
552 intercept syscalls that have structure arguments which layout
553 in memory differs between the legacy ABI and the new ARM EABI
554 (only for non "thumb" binaries). This option adds a tiny
555 overhead to all syscalls and produces a slightly larger kernel.
556 If you know you'll be using only pure EABI user space then you
557 can say N here. If this option is not selected and you attempt
558 to execute a legacy ABI binary then the result will be
559 UNPREDICTABLE (in fact it can be predicted that it won't work
560 at all). If in doubt say Y.

591 If you are compiling a kernel for a NetWinder or EBSA-285, you will
592 be able to select which LEDs are active using the options below. If
593 you are compiling a kernel for the EBSA-110 or the LART however, the
594 red LED will simply flash regularly to indicate that the system is
595 still functional. It is safe to say Y here if you have a CATS
596 system, but the driver will do nothing.

605 NetWinder, the amber one on the EBSA285, or the red one on the LART)
606 will flash regularly to indicate that the system is still
607 operational. This is mainly useful to kernel hackers who are
608 debugging unstable kernels.
610 The LART uses the same LED for both Timer LED and CPU usage LED
611 functions. You may choose to use both, but the Timer LED function
612 will overrule the CPU usage LED.

620 time indication of CPU usage, by lighting whenever the idle task
621 is not currently executing.
623 The LART uses the same LED for both Timer LED and CPU usage LED
624 functions. You may choose to use both, but the Timer LED function

632 ARM processors can not fetch/store information which is not
633 naturally aligned on the bus, i.e., a 4 byte fetch must start at an
634 address divisible by 4. On 32-bit ARM processors, these non-aligned
635 fetch/store instructions will be emulated in software if you say
636 here, which has a severe performance impact. This is necessary for
637 correct operation of some network protocols. With an IP-only
638 configuration it is safe to say N, otherwise say Y.

647 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
650 The physical address at which the ROM-able zImage is to be

652 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
653 value in their defconfig file.
655 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
658 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader BSS address"
661 The base address of an area of read/write memory in the target
662 for the ROM-able zImage which must be available while the
663 decompressor is running. It must be large enough to hold the
664 entire decompressed kernel plus an additional 128 KiB.
665 Platforms which normally make use of ROM-able zImage formats
666 normally set this to a suitable value in their defconfig file.
668 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
671 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
672 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
674 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
675 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
678 string "Default kernel command string"
681 On some architectures (EBSA110 and CATS), there is currently no way
682 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
683 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
684 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
685 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
688 bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
689 depends on !ZBOOT_ROM
691 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
692 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
693 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
694 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
695 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
696 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
697 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
698 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
699 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
700 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
702 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
703 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
704 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.

758 Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
759 This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently

771 emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
772 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
773 so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
774 floating point emulator without any good reason.
776 You almost surely want to say N here.

782 Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
783 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
784 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
785 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
787 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
788 for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.

831 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
832 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
833 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
834 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
836 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
