38 # SMP OPTIONS:
39 #
40 # The apic device enables the use of the I/O APIC for interrupt delivery.
41 # The apic device can be used in both UP and SMP kernels, but is required
42 # for SMP kernels. Thus, the apic device is not strictly an SMP option,
43 # but it is a prerequisite for SMP.
44 #
45 # Notes:
46 #
47 # HTT CPUs should only be used if they are enabled in the BIOS. For
48 # the ACPI case, ACPI only correctly tells us about any HTT CPUs if
49 # they are enabled. However, most HTT systems do not list HTT CPUs
50 # in the MP Table if they are enabled, thus we guess at the HTT CPUs
51 # for the MP Table case. However, we shouldn't try to guess and use
52 # these CPUs if HTT is disabled. Thus, HTT guessing is only enabled
53 # for the MP Table if the user explicitly asks for it via the
54 # MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT option. Do NOT use this option if you have HTT
55 # disabled in your BIOS.
56 #
57 # IPI_PREEMPTION instructs the kernel to preempt threads running on other
58 # CPUS if needed. Relies on the PREEMPTION option

83 # You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
84 # deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
85 # parts of the system run faster.

89 cpu I686_CPU # aka Pentium Pro(tm)

91 #
92 # Options for CPU features.
93 #
94 # CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK tries to enable SSE instructions when the BIOS has
95 # forgotten to enable them.
96 #
97 # CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_3X enables triple-clock mode on IBM Blue Lightning
98 # CPU if CPU supports it. The default is double-clock mode on
99 # BlueLightning CPU box.
100 #
101 # CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_FPU_OP_CACHE enables FPU operand cache on IBM
102 # BlueLightning CPU. It works only with Cyrix FPU, and this option
103 # should not be used with Intel FPU.
104 #
105 # CPU_BTB_EN enables branch target buffer on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
106 #
107 # CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK enables weak locking for the entire address space
108 # of Cyrix 6x86 and 6x86MX CPUs by setting the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1.
109 # Otherwise, the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1 is cleared. (NOTE 3)
110 #
111 # CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE sets L1 cache of Cyrix 486DLC CPU in direct
112 # mapped mode. Default is 2-way set associative mode.
113 #
114 # CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER disables load store serialize (i.e., enables
115 # reorder). This option should not be used if you use memory mapped
116 # I/O device(s).
117 #
118 # CPU_ELAN enables support for AMDs ElanSC520 CPU.
119 # CPU_ELAN_PPS enables precision timestamp code.
120 # CPU_ELAN_XTAL sets the clock crystal frequency in Hz.
121 #
122 # CPU_ENABLE_LONGRUN enables support for Transmeta Crusoe LongRun
123 # technology which allows to restrict power consumption of the CPU by
124 # using group of hw.crusoe.* sysctls.
125 #
126 # CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU enables faster FPU exception handler.
127 #
128 # CPU_GEODE is for the SC1100 Geode embedded processor. This option
129 # is necessary because the i8254 timecounter is toast.
130 #
131 # CPU_I486_ON_386 enables CPU cache on i486 based CPU upgrade products
132 # for i386 machines.
133 #
134 # CPU_IORT defines I/O clock delay time (NOTE 1). Default values of
135 # I/O clock delay time on Cyrix 5x86 and 6x86 are 0 and 7,respectively
136 # (no clock delay).
137 #
138 # CPU_L2_LATENCY specifies the L2 cache latency value. This option is used
139 # only when CPU_PPRO2CELERON is defined and Mendocino Celeron is detected.
140 # The default value is 5.
141 #
142 # CPU_LOOP_EN prevents flushing the prefetch buffer if the destination
143 # of a jump is already present in the prefetch buffer on Cyrix 5x86(NOTE
144 # 1).
145 #
146 # CPU_PPRO2CELERON enables L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs. This option
147 # is useful when you use Socket 8 to Socket 370 converter, because most Pentium
148 # Pro BIOSs do not enable L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs.
149 #
150 # CPU_RSTK_EN enables return stack on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
151 #
152 # CPU_SOEKRIS enables support www.soekris.com hardware.
153 #
154 # CPU_SUSP_HLT enables suspend on HALT. If this option is set, CPU
155 # enters suspend mode following execution of HALT instruction.
156 #
157 # CPU_UPGRADE_HW_CACHE eliminates unneeded cache flush instruction(s).
158 #
159 # CPU_WT_ALLOC enables write allocation on Cyrix 6x86/6x86MX and AMD
160 # K5/K6/K6-2 CPUs.
161 #
162 # CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS enables CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs with cache
163 # flush at hold state.
164 #
165 # CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS enables (1) CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs
166 # without cache flush at hold state, and (2) write-back CPU cache on
167 # Cyrix 6x86 whose revision < 2.7 (NOTE 2).
168 #
169 # NO_F00F_HACK disables the hack that prevents Pentiums (and ONLY
170 # Pentiums) from locking up when a LOCK CMPXCHG8B instruction is
171 # executed. This option is only needed if I586_CPU is also defined,
172 # and should be included for any non-Pentium CPU that defines it.
173 #
174 # NO_MEMORY_HOLE is an optimisation for systems with AMD K6 processors
175 # which indicates that the 15-16MB range is *definitely* not being
176 # occupied by an ISA memory hole.
177 #
178 # NOTE 1: The options, CPU_BTB_EN, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_IORT,
179 # CPU_LOOP_EN and CPU_RSTK_EN should not be used because of CPU bugs.
180 # These options may crash your system.
181 #
182 # NOTE 2: If CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS is not set, CPU cache is enabled
183 # in write-through mode when revision < 2.7. If revision of Cyrix
184 # 6x86 >= 2.7, CPU cache is always enabled in write-back mode.

246 # DEVICE_POLLING adds support for mixed interrupt-polling handling
247 # of network device drivers, which has significant benefits in terms
248 # of robustness to overloads and responsivity, as well as permitting
249 # accurate scheduling of the CPU time between kernel network processing
250 # and other activities. The drawback is a moderate (up to 1/HZ seconds)
251 # potential increase in response times.
252 # It is strongly recommended to use HZ=1000 or 2000 with DEVICE_POLLING
253 # to achieve smoother behaviour.
