DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest
PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer
size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
for larger buffers it just a waste of address space. Drivers which has
relatively small addressing window (like 64Mib) might run out of
virtual space with just a few allocations.
With this parameter you can specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for
DMA IOMMU buffers. Larger buffers will be aligned only to this
specified order. The order is expressed as a power of two multiplied
by the PAGE_SIZE.

bool "ARM errata: Stale prediction on replaced interworking branch"

help
This option enables the workaround for the 430973 Cortex-A8
r1p* erratum. If a code sequence containing an ARM/Thumb
interworking branch is replaced with another code sequence at the
same virtual address, whether due to self-modifying code or virtual
to physical address re-mapping, Cortex-A8 does not recover from the
stale interworking branch prediction. This results in Cortex-A8
executing the new code sequence in the incorrect ARM or Thumb state.
The workaround enables the BTB/BTAC operations by setting ACTLR.IBE

Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register may not be
available in non-secure mode.

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

situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost

This option enables the workaround for the 742230 Cortex-A9
(r1p0..r2p2) erratum. Under rare circumstances, a DMB instruction
between two write operations may not ensure the correct visibility
ordering of the two writes. This workaround sets a specific bit in
the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9 which causes the DMB
instruction to behave as a DSB, ensuring the correct behaviour of
the two writes.
config ARM_ERRATA_742231

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

As a consequence of this erratum, some TLB entries which should be
invalidated are not, resulting in an incoherency in the system page
tables. The workaround changes the TLB flushing routines to invalidate
entries regardless of the ASID.

help
This option enables the workaround for the 743622 Cortex-A9
(r2p*) erratum. Under very rare conditions, a faulty
optimisation in the Cortex-A9 Store Buffer may lead to data
corruption. This workaround sets a specific bit in the diagnostic
register of the Cortex-A9 which disables the Store Buffer
optimisation, preventing the defect from occurring. This has no
visible impact on the overall performance or power consumption of the
processor.

This option enables the workaround for the 751472 Cortex-A9 (prior

completion of a following broadcasted operation if the second
operation is received by a CPU before the ICIALLUIS has completed,
potentially leading to corrupted entries in the cache or TLB.

bool "ARM errata: possible faulty MMU translations following an ASID switch"
depends on CPU_V7
help
This option enables the workaround for the 754322 Cortex-A9 (r2p*,
r3p*) erratum. A speculative memory access may cause a page table walk
which starts prior to an ASID switch but completes afterwards. This
can populate the micro-TLB with a stale entry which may be hit with
the new ASID. This workaround places two dsb instructions in the mm
switching code so that no page table walks can cross the ASID switch.
config ARM_ERRATA_754327
bool "ARM errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"
depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
help
This option enables the workaround for the 754327 Cortex-A9 (prior to
r2p0) erratum. The Store Buffer does not have any automatic draining
mechanism and therefore a livelock may occur if an external agent
continuously polls a memory location waiting to observe an update.
This workaround defines cpu_relax() as smp_mb(), preventing correctly
written polling loops from denying visibility of updates to memory.

This options enables the workaround for the 364296 ARM1136
r0p2 erratum (possible cache data corruption with
hit-under-miss enabled). It sets the undocumented bit 31 in

current revisions). Under certain timing circumstances, a data
cache line maintenance operation by MVA targeting an Inner
Shareable memory region may fail to proceed up to either the
Point of Coherency or to the Point of Unification of the

CP14 read accesses to the DBGPRSR and DBGOSLSR registers generate an
unexpected Undefined Instruction exception when the DBGSWENABLE
external pin is set to 0, even when the CP14 accesses are performed
from a privileged mode. This work around catches the exception in a

If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
config ZBOOT_ROM
bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
depends on !ARM_APPENDED_DTB && !XIP_KERNEL && !AUTO_ZRELADDR
help
Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
(zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on OF
help
With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
(DTB) appended to zImage
(e.g. cat zImage .dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
to this option.
config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT
bool "Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information"
depends on ARM_APPENDED_DTB
help
Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a DTB capable one, yet
they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
the kernel cmdline string, etc. Such information is dynamically
provided by the bootloader and can't always be stored in a static
DTB. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such
bootloaders, this option allows zImage to extract the information
from the ATAG list and store it at run time into the appended DTB.

Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader instead of
the device tree bootargs property. If the boot loader doesn't provide
any, the device tree bootargs property will be used.

The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
appended to the the device tree bootargs property.
endchoice
config CMDLINE
string "Default kernel command string"
default ""
help
On some architectures (e.g. CATS), there is currently no way
for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
choice

config CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
help
Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader. If
the boot loader doesn't provide any, the default kernel command
string provided in CMDLINE will be used.
config CMDLINE_EXTEND
bool "Extend bootloader kernel arguments"
help
The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
appended to the default kernel command string.
config CMDLINE_FORCE
bool "Always use the default kernel command string"
help
Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
loader passes other arguments to the kernel.
This is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the
command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel.
endchoice
config XIP_KERNEL
bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
depends on !ARM_LPAE && !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
help
Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
"make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.
If unsure, say N.
config XIP_PHYS_ADDR
hex "XIP Kernel Physical Location"
depends on XIP_KERNEL
default "0x00080000"
help
This is the physical address in your flash memory the kernel will
be linked for and stored to. This address is dependent on your
own flash usage.
config XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
bool "Store kernel .data section compressed in ROM"
depends on XIP_KERNEL
select ZLIB_INFLATE
help
Before the kernel is actually executed, its .data section has to be
copied to RAM from ROM. This option allows for storing that data
in compressed form and decompressed to RAM rather than merely being
copied, saving some precious ROM space. A possible drawback is a
slightly longer boot delay.
config KEXEC
bool "Kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on (!SMP || PM_SLEEP_SMP)
depends on MMU
select KEXEC_CORE
help
kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
initially work for you.
config ATAGS_PROC
bool "Export atags in procfs"
depends on ATAGS && KEXEC
default y
help
Should the atags used to boot the kernel be exported in an "atags"
file in procfs. Useful with kexec.
config CRASH_DUMP
bool "Build kdump crash kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
help
Generate crash dump after being started by kexec. This should
be normally only set in special crash dump kernels which are
loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into a specially
reserved region and then later executed after a crash by
kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled to a
memory address not used by the main kernel
For more details see Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst
config AUTO_ZRELADDR
bool "Auto calculation of the decompressed kernel image address"
help
ZRELADDR is the physical address where the decompressed kernel
image will be placed. If AUTO_ZRELADDR is selected, the address
will be determined at run-time, either by masking the current IP
with 0xf8000000, or, if invalid, from the DTB passed in r2.
This assumes the zImage being placed in the first 128MB from
start of memory.

select UCS2_STRING
select EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
select EFI_STUB
select EFI_GENERIC_STUB
select EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
help
This option provides support for runtime services provided
by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime
clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to
allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This
is only useful for kernels that may run on systems that have
UEFI firmware.
config DMI
bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables"
depends on EFI
default y
help
This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems.
This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
However, even with this option, the resultant kernel should
continue to boot on existing non-UEFI platforms.
NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks,
i.e., the the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to
decide whether certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or
firmware need to be enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem
to be enabled much earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

help
Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if
your machine has an FPA or floating point co-processor podule.
You may say N here if you are going to load the Acorn FPEmulator
early in the bootup.
config FPE_NWFPE_XP
bool "Support extended precision"

help
Say Y to include 80-bit support in the kernel floating-point
emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
floating point emulator without any good reason.
You almost surely want to say N here.
config FPE_FASTFPE
bool "FastFPE math emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on (!AEABI || OABI_COMPAT) && !CPU_32v3
help
Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.
If you do not feel you need a faster FP emulation you should better
choose NWFPE.
