   16 # SMP OPTIONS:
   17 #
   18 # The apic device enables the use of the I/O APIC for interrupt delivery.
   19 # The apic device can be used in both UP and SMP kernels, but is required
   20 # for SMP kernels.  Thus, the apic device is not strictly an SMP option,
   21 # but it is a prerequisite for SMP.
   22 #
   23 # Notes:
   24 #
   25 # HTT CPUs should only be used if they are enabled in the BIOS.  For
   26 # the ACPI case, ACPI only correctly tells us about any HTT CPUs if
   27 # they are enabled.  However, most HTT systems do not list HTT CPUs
   28 # in the MP Table if they are enabled, thus we guess at the HTT CPUs
   29 # for the MP Table case.  However, we shouldn't try to guess and use
   30 # these CPUs if HTT is disabled.  Thus, HTT guessing is only enabled
   31 # for the MP Table if the user explicitly asks for it via the
   32 # MPTABLE_FORCE_HTT option.  Do NOT use this option if you have HTT
   33 # disabled in your BIOS.
   34 #
   35 # IPI_PREEMPTION instructs the kernel to preempt threads running on other
   36 # CPUS if needed.  Relies on the PREEMPTION option
   37 
   38 # Mandatory:
   39 device          apic                    # I/O apic

   41 # Optional:

   58 # CPU OPTIONS
   59 
   60 #
   61 # You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
   62 # deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
   63 # parts of the system run faster.
   64 #
   65 cpu             I486_CPU
   66 cpu             I586_CPU                # aka Pentium(tm)
   67 cpu             I686_CPU                # aka Pentium Pro(tm)
   68 
   69 #
   70 # Options for CPU features.
   71 #
   72 # CPU_ATHLON_SSE_HACK tries to enable SSE instructions when the BIOS has
   73 # forgotten to enable them.
   74 #
   75 # CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_3X enables triple-clock mode on IBM Blue Lightning
   76 # CPU if CPU supports it.  The default is double-clock mode on
   77 # BlueLightning CPU box.
   78 #
   79 # CPU_BLUELIGHTNING_FPU_OP_CACHE enables FPU operand cache on IBM
   80 # BlueLightning CPU.  It works only with Cyrix FPU, and this option
   81 # should not be used with Intel FPU.
   82 #
   83 # CPU_BTB_EN enables branch target buffer on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
   84 #
   85 # CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK enables weak locking for the entire address space
   86 # of Cyrix 6x86 and 6x86MX CPUs by setting the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1.
   87 # Otherwise, the NO_LOCK bit of CCR1 is cleared.  (NOTE 3)
   88 #
   89 # CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE sets L1 cache of Cyrix 486DLC CPU in direct
   90 # mapped mode.  Default is 2-way set associative mode.
   91 #
   92 # CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER disables load store serialize (i.e., enables
   93 # reorder).  This option should not be used if you use memory mapped
   94 # I/O device(s).
   95 #
   96 # CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG disables the CMPXCHG instruction on > i386 IA32
   97 # machines.  VmWare 3.x seems to emulate this instruction poorly, causing
   98 # the guest OS to run very slowly.  This problem appears to be fixed in
   99 # VmWare 4.x, at least in version 4.5.2, so that enabling this option with
  100 # VmWare 4.x will result in locking operations to be 20-30 times slower.
  101 # Enabling this with an SMP kernel will cause the kernel to be unusable.
  102 #
  103 # CPU_DISABLE_SSE explicitly prevents I686_CPU from turning on SSE.
  104 #
  105 # CPU_ELAN enables support for AMDs ElanSC520 CPU.
  106 #    CPU_ELAN_PPS enables precision timestamp code.
  107 #    CPU_ELAN_XTAL sets the clock crystal frequency in Hz.
  108 #
  109 # CPU_ENABLE_LONGRUN enables support for Transmeta Crusoe LongRun
  110 # technology which allows to restrict power consumption of the CPU by
  111 # using group of hw.crusoe.* sysctls.
  112 #
  113 # CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU enables faster FPU exception handler.
  114 #
  115 # CPU_GEODE is for the SC1100 Geode embedded processor.  This option
  116 # is necessary because the i8254 timecounter is toast.
  117 #
  118 # CPU_I486_ON_386 enables CPU cache on i486 based CPU upgrade products
  119 # for i386 machines.
  120 #
  121 # CPU_IORT defines I/O clock delay time (NOTE 1).  Default values of
  122 # I/O clock delay time on Cyrix 5x86 and 6x86 are 0 and 7,respectively
  123 # (no clock delay).
  124 #
  125 # CPU_L2_LATENCY specifies the L2 cache latency value.  This option is used
  126 # only when CPU_PPRO2CELERON is defined and Mendocino Celeron is detected.
  127 # The default value is 5.
  128 #
  129 # CPU_LOOP_EN prevents flushing the prefetch buffer if the destination
  130 # of a jump is already present in the prefetch buffer on Cyrix 5x86(NOTE
  131 # 1).
  132 #
  133 # CPU_PPRO2CELERON enables L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs.  This option
  134 # is useful when you use Socket 8 to Socket 370 converter, because most Pentium
  135 # Pro BIOSs do not enable L2 cache of Mendocino Celeron CPUs.
  136 #
  137 # CPU_RSTK_EN enables return stack on Cyrix 5x86 (NOTE 1).
  138 #
  139 # CPU_SOEKRIS enables support www.soekris.com hardware.
  140 #
  141 # CPU_SUSP_HLT enables suspend on HALT.  If this option is set, CPU
  142 # enters suspend mode following execution of HALT instruction.
  143 #
  144 # CPU_UPGRADE_HW_CACHE eliminates unneeded cache flush instruction(s).
  145 #
  146 # CPU_WT_ALLOC enables write allocation on Cyrix 6x86/6x86MX and AMD
  147 # K5/K6/K6-2 CPUs.
  148 #
  149 # CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS enables CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs with cache
  150 # flush at hold state.
  151 #
  152 # CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS enables (1) CPU cache on Cyrix 486 CPUs
  153 # without cache flush at hold state, and (2) write-back CPU cache on
  154 # Cyrix 6x86 whose revision < 2.7 (NOTE 2).
  155 #
  156 # NO_F00F_HACK disables the hack that prevents Pentiums (and ONLY
  157 # Pentiums) from locking up when a LOCK CMPXCHG8B instruction is
  158 # executed.  This option is only needed if I586_CPU is also defined,
  159 # and should be included for any non-Pentium CPU that defines it.
  160 #
  161 # NO_MEMORY_HOLE is an optimisation for systems with AMD K6 processors
  162 # which indicates that the 15-16MB range is *definitely* not being
  163 # occupied by an ISA memory hole.
  164 #
  165 # NOTE 1: The options, CPU_BTB_EN, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_IORT,
  166 # CPU_LOOP_EN and CPU_RSTK_EN should not be used because of CPU bugs.
  167 # These options may crash your system.
  168 #
  169 # NOTE 2: If CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS is not set, CPU cache is enabled
  170 # in write-through mode when revision < 2.7.  If revision of Cyrix
  171 # 6x86 >= 2.7, CPU cache is always enabled in write-back mode.
  172 #
  173 # NOTE 3: This option may cause failures for software that requires
  174 # locked cycles in order to operate correctly.

  232 # NETWORKING OPTIONS
  233 
  234 #
  235 # DEVICE_POLLING adds support for mixed interrupt-polling handling
  236 # of network device drivers, which has significant benefits in terms
  237 # of robustness to overloads and responsivity, as well as permitting
  238 # accurate scheduling of the CPU time between kernel network processing
  239 # and other activities.  The drawback is a moderate (up to 1/HZ seconds)
  240 # potential increase in response times.
  241 # It is strongly recommended to use HZ=1000 or 2000 with DEVICE_POLLING
  242 # to achieve smoother behaviour.
  243 # Additionally, you can enable/disable polling at runtime with help of
  244 # the ifconfig(8) utility, and select the CPU fraction reserved to
  245 # userland with the sysctl variable kern.polling.user_frac
  246 # (default 50, range 0..100).

  857 # a KLD module.
  858 # The STREAMS network emulation code can also be compiled statically or as a
  859 # module.  If loaded as a module, it must be loaded before the svr4 module
  860 # (the /usr/sbin/svr4 script does this for you).  If compiling statically,
  861 # the `streams' device must be configured into any kernel which also
  862 # specifies COMPAT_SVR4.  It is possible to have a statically-configured
  863 # STREAMS device and a dynamically loadable svr4 emulator;  the /usr/sbin/svr4
  864 # script understands that it doesn't need to load the `streams' module under
  865 # those circumstances.
  866 # Caveat:  At this time, `options KTRACE' is required for the svr4 emulator
  867 # (whether static or dynamic).

  881 # Disable the 4 MByte page PSE CPU feature.  The PSE feature allows the
  882 # kernel to use 4 MByte pages to map the kernel instead of 4k pages.
  883 # This saves on the amount of memory needed for page tables needed to
  884 # map the kernel.  You should only disable this feature as a temporary
  885 # workaround if you are having problems with it enabled.
