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

606 When coming out of either a Wait for Interrupt (WFI) or a Wait for
607 Event (WFE) IDLE states, a specific timing sensitivity exists between
608 the retiring WFI/WFE instructions and the newly issued subsequent
609 instructions. This sensitivity can result in a CPU hang scenario.

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

634 bool "ARM errata: Stale prediction on replaced interworking branch"
637 This option enables the workaround for the 430973 Cortex-A8
638 r1p* erratum. If a code sequence containing an ARM/Thumb
639 interworking branch is replaced with another code sequence at the
640 same virtual address, whether due to self-modifying code or virtual
641 to physical address re-mapping, Cortex-A8 does not recover from the
642 stale interworking branch prediction. This results in Cortex-A8
643 executing the new code sequence in the incorrect ARM or Thumb state.
644 The workaround enables the BTB/BTAC operations by setting ACTLR.IBE
645 and also flushes the branch target cache at every context switch.
646 Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register may not be
647 available in non-secure mode.
649 config ARM_ERRATA_458693
650 bool "ARM errata: Processor deadlock when a false hazard is created"
652 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
654 This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
655 erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
656 possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
657 be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
658 hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
659 the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
660 in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
661 register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not
662 available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the

668 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
670 This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
671 erratum. Any asynchronous access to the L2 cache may encounter a
672 situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost
673 and overwritten with stale memory contents from external memory. The
674 workaround disables the write-allocate mode for the L2 cache via the
675 ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register
676 may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on
677 a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader

681 bool "ARM errata: DMB operation may be faulty"

683 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
685 This option enables the workaround for the 742230 Cortex-A9
686 (r1p0..r2p2) erratum. Under rare circumstances, a DMB instruction
687 between two write operations may not ensure the correct visibility
688 ordering of the two writes. This workaround sets a specific bit in
689 the diagnostic register of the Cortex-A9 which causes the DMB
690 instruction to behave as a DSB, ensuring the correct behaviour of
691 the two writes. Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics
692 register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not
693 available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the

697 bool "ARM errata: Incorrect hazard handling in the SCU may lead to data corruption"

701 This option enables the workaround for the 742231 Cortex-A9
702 (r2p0..r2p2) erratum. Under certain conditions, specific to the
703 Cortex-A9 MPCore micro-architecture, two CPUs working in SMP mode,
704 accessing some data located in the same cache line, may get corrupted
705 data due to bad handling of the address hazard when the line gets
706 replaced from one of the CPUs at the same time as another CPU is
707 accessing it. This workaround sets specific bits in the diagnostic
708 register of the Cortex-A9 which reduces the linefill issuing
709 capabilities of the processor. Note that setting specific bits in the
710 diagnostics register may not be available in non-secure mode and thus
711 is not available on a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by
712 the bootloader instead.
714 config ARM_ERRATA_643719
715 bool "ARM errata: LoUIS bit field in CLIDR register is incorrect"
716 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
719 This option enables the workaround for the 643719 Cortex-A9 (prior to
720 r1p0) erratum. On affected cores the LoUIS bit field of the CLIDR
721 register returns zero when it should return one. The workaround
722 corrects this value, ensuring cache maintenance operations which use
723 it behave as intended and avoiding data corruption.
725 config ARM_ERRATA_720789
726 bool "ARM errata: TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS operations can broadcast a faulty ASID"
729 This option enables the workaround for the 720789 Cortex-A9 (prior to
730 r2p0) erratum. A faulty ASID can be sent to the other CPUs for the
731 broadcasted CP15 TLB maintenance operations TLBIASIDIS and TLBIMVAIS.
732 As a consequence of this erratum, some TLB entries which should be
733 invalidated are not, resulting in an incoherency in the system page
734 tables. The workaround changes the TLB flushing routines to invalidate
735 entries regardless of the ASID.
737 config ARM_ERRATA_743622
738 bool "ARM errata: Faulty hazard checking in the Store Buffer may lead to data corruption"
740 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
742 This option enables the workaround for the 743622 Cortex-A9
743 (r2p*) erratum. Under very rare conditions, a faulty
744 optimisation in the Cortex-A9 Store Buffer may lead to data
745 corruption. This workaround sets a specific bit in the diagnostic
746 register of the Cortex-A9 which disables the Store Buffer
747 optimisation, preventing the defect from occurring. This has no
748 visible impact on the overall performance or power consumption of the
749 processor. Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics register
750 may not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on a
751 multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader instead.
753 config ARM_ERRATA_751472
754 bool "ARM errata: Interrupted ICIALLUIS may prevent completion of broadcasted operation"
756 depends on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
758 This option enables the workaround for the 751472 Cortex-A9 (prior
759 to r3p0) erratum. An interrupted ICIALLUIS operation may prevent the
760 completion of a following broadcasted operation if the second
761 operation is received by a CPU before the ICIALLUIS has completed,
762 potentially leading to corrupted entries in the cache or TLB.
763 Note that setting specific bits in the diagnostics register may
764 not be available in non-secure mode and thus is not available on
765 a multiplatform kernel. This should be applied by the bootloader
768 config ARM_ERRATA_754322
769 bool "ARM errata: possible faulty MMU translations following an ASID switch"
772 This option enables the workaround for the 754322 Cortex-A9 (r2p*,
773 r3p*) erratum. A speculative memory access may cause a page table walk
774 which starts prior to an ASID switch but completes afterwards. This
775 can populate the micro-TLB with a stale entry which may be hit with
776 the new ASID. This workaround places two dsb instructions in the mm
777 switching code so that no page table walks can cross the ASID switch.
779 config ARM_ERRATA_754327
780 bool "ARM errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"
781 depends on CPU_V7 && SMP
783 This option enables the workaround for the 754327 Cortex-A9 (prior to
784 r2p0) erratum. The Store Buffer does not have any automatic draining
785 mechanism and therefore a livelock may occur if an external agent
786 continuously polls a memory location waiting to observe an update.
787 This workaround defines cpu_relax() as smp_mb(), preventing correctly
788 written polling loops from denying visibility of updates to memory.

794 This options enables the workaround for the 364296 ARM1136
795 r0p2 erratum (possible cache data corruption with
796 hit-under-miss enabled). It sets the undocumented bit 31 in
797 the auxiliary control register and the FI bit in the control

807 affecting Cortex-A9 MPCore with two or more processors (all
808 current revisions). Under certain timing circumstances, a data
809 cache line maintenance operation by MVA targeting an Inner
810 Shareable memory region may fail to proceed up to either the
811 Point of Coherency or to the Point of Unification of the
812 system. This workaround adds a DSB instruction before the
813 relevant cache maintenance functions and sets a specific bit
814 in the diagnostic control register of the SCU.
816 config ARM_ERRATA_764319
817 bool "ARM errata: Read to DBGPRSR and DBGOSLSR may generate Undefined instruction"
820 This option enables the workaround for the 764319 Cortex A-9 erratum.
821 CP14 read accesses to the DBGPRSR and DBGOSLSR registers generate an
822 unexpected Undefined Instruction exception when the DBGSWENABLE
823 external pin is set to 0, even when the CP14 accesses are performed
824 from a privileged mode. This work around catches the exception in a
825 way the kernel does not stop execution.
827 config ARM_ERRATA_775420
828 bool "ARM errata: A data cache maintenance operation which aborts, might lead to deadlock"
831 This option enables the workaround for the 775420 Cortex-A9 (r2p2,
832 r2p6,r2p8,r2p10,r3p0) erratum. In case a data cache maintenance
833 operation aborts with MMU exception, it might cause the processor
834 to deadlock. This workaround puts DSB before executing ISB if
835 an abort may occur on cache maintenance.

841 On Cortex-A15 (r0p0..r3p2) the TLBI*IS/DSB operations are not
842 adequately shooting down all use of the old entries. This
843 option enables the Linux kernel workaround for this erratum
844 which sends an IPI to the CPUs that are running the same ASID
845 as the one being invalidated.
847 config ARM_ERRATA_773022
848 bool "ARM errata: incorrect instructions may be executed from loop buffer"
851 This option enables the workaround for the 773022 Cortex-A15
852 (up to r0p4) erratum. In certain rare sequences of code, the
853 loop buffer may deliver incorrect instructions. This
854 workaround disables the loop buffer to avoid the erratum.

862 instruction might deadlock. Fixed in r0p1.
863 - Cortex-A12 852422: Execution of a sequence of instructions might
864 lead to either a data corruption or a CPU deadlock. Not fixed in
865 any Cortex-A12 cores yet.
866 This workaround for all both errata involves setting bit[12] of the

868 sequence of 2 instructions that use opposing condition codes.
870 config ARM_ERRATA_821420

874 This option enables the workaround for the 821420 Cortex-A12
875 (all revs) erratum. In very rare timing conditions, a sequence
876 of VMOV to Core registers instructions, for which the second
877 one is in the shadow of a branch or abort, can lead to a

1390 cores where a 8-word STM instruction give significantly higher
1391 memory write throughput than a sequence of individual 32bit stores.
1393 A possible side effect is a slight increase in scheduling latency
1394 between threads sharing the same address space if they invoke
1395 such copy operations with large buffers.
1397 However, if the CPU data cache is using a write-allocate mode,
1398 this option is unlikely to provide any performance gain.
1401 bool "Enable paravirtualization code"
1403 This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
1404 under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
1405 over full virtualization.
1407 config PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING
1408 bool "Paravirtual steal time accounting"
1411 Select this option to enable fine granularity task steal time
1412 accounting. Time spent executing other tasks in parallel with
1413 the current vCPU is discounted from the vCPU power. To account for
1414 that, there can be a small performance impact.
1416 If in doubt, say N here.
1423 bool "Xen guest support on ARM"
1424 depends on ARM && AEABI && OF
1425 depends on CPU_V7 && !CPU_V6
1426 depends on !GENERIC_ATOMIC64
1428 select ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
1434 Say Y if you want to run Linux in a Virtual Machine on Xen on ARM.
1436 config CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_TLS
1437 def_bool $(cc-option,-mtp=cp15 -mstack-protector-guard=tls -mstack-protector-guard-offset=0)
1439 config STACKPROTECTOR_PER_TASK
1440 bool "Use a unique stack canary value for each task"
1441 depends on STACKPROTECTOR && CURRENT_POINTER_IN_TPIDRURO && !XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
1442 depends on GCC_PLUGINS || CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_TLS
1443 select GCC_PLUGIN_ARM_SSP_PER_TASK if !CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_TLS
1446 Due to the fact that GCC uses an ordinary symbol reference from
1447 which to load the value of the stack canary, this value can only
1448 change at reboot time on SMP systems, and all tasks running in the
1449 kernel's address space are forced to use the same canary value for
1450 the entire duration that the system is up.
1452 Enable this option to switch to a different method that uses a
1453 different canary value for each task.
1460 bool "Flattened Device Tree support"
1464 Include support for flattened device tree machine descriptions.
1467 bool "Support for the traditional ATAGS boot data passing"
1470 This is the traditional way of passing data to the kernel at boot
1471 time. If you are solely relying on the flattened device tree (or
1472 the ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT option) then you may unselect this option
1473 to remove ATAGS support from your kernel binary.
1475 config DEPRECATED_PARAM_STRUCT
1476 bool "Provide old way to pass kernel parameters"
1479 This was deprecated in 2001 and announced to live on for 5 years.
1480 Some old boot loaders still use this way.
1482 # Compressed boot loader in ROM. Yes, we really want to ask about
1483 # TEXT and BSS so we preserve their values in the config files.
1484 config ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT
1485 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader base address"
1488 The physical address at which the ROM-able zImage is to be
1489 placed in the target. Platforms which normally make use of
1490 ROM-able zImage formats normally set this to a suitable
1491 value in their defconfig file.
1493 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1495 config ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1496 hex "Compressed ROM boot loader BSS address"
1499 The base address of an area of read/write memory in the target
1500 for the ROM-able zImage which must be available while the
1501 decompressor is running. It must be large enough to hold the
1502 entire decompressed kernel plus an additional 128 KiB.
1503 Platforms which normally make use of ROM-able zImage formats
1504 normally set this to a suitable value in their defconfig file.
1506 If ZBOOT_ROM is not enabled, this has no effect.
1509 bool "Compressed boot loader in ROM/flash"
1510 depends on ZBOOT_ROM_TEXT != ZBOOT_ROM_BSS
1511 depends on !ARM_APPENDED_DTB && !XIP_KERNEL && !AUTO_ZRELADDR
1513 Say Y here if you intend to execute your compressed kernel image
1514 (zImage) directly from ROM or flash. If unsure, say N.
1516 config ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1517 bool "Use appended device tree blob to zImage (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1520 With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
1521 (DTB) appended to zImage
1522 (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).
1524 This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
1525 systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
1526 the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
1528 Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
1529 this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
1530 look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
1531 to zImage. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
1532 if you don't intend to always append a DTB. Proper passing of the
1533 location into r2 of a bootloader provided DTB is always preferable
1536 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT
1537 bool "Supplement the appended DTB with traditional ATAG information"
1538 depends on ARM_APPENDED_DTB
1540 Some old bootloaders can't be updated to a DTB capable one, yet
1541 they provide ATAGs with memory configuration, the ramdisk address,
1542 the kernel cmdline string, etc. Such information is dynamically
1543 provided by the bootloader and can't always be stored in a static
1544 DTB. To allow a device tree enabled kernel to be used with such
1545 bootloaders, this option allows zImage to extract the information
1546 from the ATAG list and store it at run time into the appended DTB.

1552 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1553 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1555 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader instead of
1556 the device tree bootargs property. If the boot loader doesn't provide
1557 any, the device tree bootargs property will be used.
1559 config ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT_CMDLINE_EXTEND
1560 bool "Extend with bootloader kernel arguments"
1562 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1563 appended to the the device tree bootargs property.
1568 string "Default kernel command string"
1571 On some architectures (e.g. CATS), there is currently no way
1572 for the boot loader to pass arguments to the kernel. For these
1573 architectures, you should supply some command-line options at build
1574 time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the
1575 memory size and the root device (e.g., mem=64M root=/dev/nfs).
1578 prompt "Kernel command line type" if CMDLINE != ""
1579 default CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1581 config CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
1582 bool "Use bootloader kernel arguments if available"
1584 Uses the command-line options passed by the boot loader. If
1585 the boot loader doesn't provide any, the default kernel command
1586 string provided in CMDLINE will be used.
1588 config CMDLINE_EXTEND
1589 bool "Extend bootloader kernel arguments"
1591 The command-line arguments provided by the boot loader will be
1592 appended to the default kernel command string.
1594 config CMDLINE_FORCE
1595 bool "Always use the default kernel command string"
1597 Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot
1598 loader passes other arguments to the kernel.
1599 This is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the
1600 command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel.
1604 bool "Kernel Execute-In-Place from ROM"
1605 depends on !ARM_LPAE && !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1606 depends on !ARM_PATCH_IDIV && !ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT && !SMP_ON_UP
1608 Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
1609 directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
1610 space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
1611 to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
1612 are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
1613 it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
1614 store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
1615 and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you
1616 say Y here, you must know the proper physical address where to
1617 store the kernel image depending on your own flash memory usage.
1619 Also note that the make target becomes "make xipImage" rather than
1620 "make zImage" or "make Image". The final kernel binary to put in
1621 ROM memory will be arch/arm/boot/xipImage.
1625 config XIP_PHYS_ADDR
1626 hex "XIP Kernel Physical Location"
1627 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1628 default "0x00080000"
1630 This is the physical address in your flash memory the kernel will
1631 be linked for and stored to. This address is dependent on your
1634 config XIP_DEFLATED_DATA
1635 bool "Store kernel .data section compressed in ROM"
1636 depends on XIP_KERNEL
1639 Before the kernel is actually executed, its .data section has to be
1640 copied to RAM from ROM. This option allows for storing that data
1641 in compressed form and decompressed to RAM rather than merely being
1642 copied, saving some precious ROM space. A possible drawback is a
1643 slightly longer boot delay.
1646 bool "Kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1647 depends on (!SMP || PM_SLEEP_SMP)
1651 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1652 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1653 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1654 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1656 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1657 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1658 initially work for you.
1661 bool "Export atags in procfs"
1662 depends on ATAGS && KEXEC
1665 Should the atags used to boot the kernel be exported in an "atags"
1666 file in procfs. Useful with kexec.
1669 bool "Build kdump crash kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1671 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec. This should
1672 be normally only set in special crash dump kernels which are
1673 loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into a specially
1674 reserved region and then later executed after a crash by
1675 kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled to a
1676 memory address not used by the main kernel
1678 For more details see Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst
1680 config AUTO_ZRELADDR
1681 bool "Auto calculation of the decompressed kernel image address" if !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
1682 default !(ARCH_FOOTBRIDGE || ARCH_RPC || ARCH_SA1100)
1684 ZRELADDR is the physical address where the decompressed kernel
1685 image will be placed. If AUTO_ZRELADDR is selected, the address
1686 will be determined at run-time, either by masking the current IP
1687 with 0xf8000000, or, if invalid, from the DTB passed in r2.
1688 This assumes the zImage being placed in the first 128MB from
1695 bool "UEFI runtime support"
1696 depends on OF && !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN && MMU && AUTO_ZRELADDR && !XIP_KERNEL
1698 select EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
1700 select EFI_GENERIC_STUB
1701 select EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
1703 This option provides support for runtime services provided
1704 by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime
1705 clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to
1706 allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This
1707 is only useful for kernels that may run on systems that have
1711 bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables"
1715 This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems.
1717 This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
1718 However, even with this option, the resultant kernel should
1719 continue to boot on existing non-UEFI platforms.
1721 NOTE: This does *NOT* enable or encourage the use of DMI quirks,
1722 i.e., the the practice of identifying the platform via DMI to
1723 decide whether certain workarounds for buggy hardware and/or
1724 firmware need to be enabled. This would require the DMI subsystem
1725 to be enabled much earlier than we do on ARM, which is non-trivial.

1745 Say Y to include the NWFPE floating point emulator in the kernel.
1746 This is necessary to run most binaries. Linux does not currently
1747 support floating point hardware so you need to say Y here even if
1748 your machine has an FPA or floating point co-processor podule.
1750 You may say N here if you are going to load the Acorn FPEmulator
1751 early in the bootup.
1754 bool "Support extended precision"
1755 depends on FPE_NWFPE
1757 Say Y to include 80-bit support in the kernel floating-point
1758 emulator. Otherwise, only 32 and 64-bit support is compiled in.
1759 Note that gcc does not generate 80-bit operations by default,
1760 so in most cases this option only enlarges the size of the
1761 floating point emulator without any good reason.
1763 You almost surely want to say N here.
1766 bool "FastFPE math emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
1767 depends on (!AEABI || OABI_COMPAT) && !CPU_32v3
1769 Say Y here to include the FAST floating point emulator in the kernel.
1770 This is an experimental much faster emulator which now also has full
1771 precision for the mantissa. It does not support any exceptions.
1772 It is very simple, and approximately 3-6 times faster than NWFPE.
1774 It should be sufficient for most programs. It may be not suitable
1775 for scientific calculations, but you have to check this for yourself.
1776 If you do not feel you need a faster FP emulation you should better

1784 if your hardware includes a VFP unit.
1786 Please see <file:Documentation/arm/vfp/release-notes.rst> for
