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

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#

66cpu		I586_CPU		# aka Pentium(tm)
67cpu		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.

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).

288# This option breaks suspend/resume on some portables.
289#
290# AUTO_EOI_2 enables the `automatic EOI' feature for the slave 8259A
291# interrupt controller.  This saves about 0.7-1.25 usec for each interrupt.
292# Automatic EOI is documented not to work for for the slave with the
