This is recommended when threaded 95941b9eb26SStefan Assmann interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of 96041b9eb26SStefan Assmann superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled. 96141b9eb26SStefan Assmann 96241b9eb26SStefan Assmann Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ 96341b9eb26SStefan Assmann entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT 96441b9eb26SStefan Assmann kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this 96541b9eb26SStefan Assmann boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps 96641b9eb26SStefan Assmann the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot 96741b9eb26SStefan Assmann IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the 96841b9eb26SStefan Assmann kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this 96941b9eb26SStefan Assmann way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise 97041b9eb26SStefan Assmann the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring 97141b9eb26SStefan Assmann down (vital) interrupt lines. 97241b9eb26SStefan Assmann 97341b9eb26SStefan Assmann Only affects "broken" chipsets.

(This behavior can be changed with the kernel 1558506f1d07SSam Ravnborg command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor 1559506f1d07SSam Ravnborg is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot 1560506f1d07SSam Ravnborg loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at 1561506f1d07SSam Ravnborg boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you 1562506f1d07SSam Ravnborg intend to use this kernel on different machines. 1563506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 1564506f1d07SSam Ravnborg More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor 1565506f1d07SSam Ravnborg emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>. 1566506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 1567506f1d07SSam Ravnborg If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger 1568506f1d07SSam Ravnborg kernel, it won't hurt. 1569506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 1570506f1d07SSam Ravnborgconfig MTRR 15716fc108a0SJan Beulich def_bool y 15726a108a14SDavid Rientjes prompt "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" if EXPERT 1573506f1d07SSam Ravnborg ---help--- 1574506f1d07SSam Ravnborg On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) 1575506f1d07SSam Ravnborg the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control 1576506f1d07SSam Ravnborg processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have 1577506f1d07SSam Ravnborg a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining 1578506f1d07SSam Ravnborg allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer 1579506f1d07SSam Ravnborg before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance 1580506f1d07SSam Ravnborg of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a 1581506f1d07SSam Ravnborg /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's 1582506f1d07SSam Ravnborg MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. 1583506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 1584506f1d07SSam Ravnborg This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar 1585506f1d07SSam Ravnborg control registers on other processors can be easily supported 1586506f1d07SSam Ravnborg as well: 1587506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 1588506f1d07SSam Ravnborg The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range 1589506f1d07SSam Ravnborg Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For 1590506f1d07SSam Ravnborg these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. 1591506f1d07SSam Ravnborg The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two 1592506f1d07SSam Ravnborg MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing 1593506f1d07SSam Ravnborg write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code 1594506f1d07SSam Ravnborg and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. 1595506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 1596506f1d07SSam Ravnborg Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only 1597506f1d07SSam Ravnborg set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This 1598506f1d07SSam Ravnborg can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. 1599506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 1600506f1d07SSam Ravnborg You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll 1601506f1d07SSam Ravnborg just add about 9 KB to your kernel. 1602506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 16037225e751SRandy Dunlap See <file:Documentation/x86/mtrr.txt> for more information. 1604506f1d07SSam Ravnborg 160595ffa243SYinghai Luconfig MTRR_SANITIZER 16062ffb3501SYinghai Lu def_bool y 160795ffa243SYinghai Lu prompt "MTRR cleanup support" 160895ffa243SYinghai Lu depends on MTRR 16098f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 1610aba3728cSThomas Gleixner Convert MTRR layout from continuous to discrete, so X drivers can 1611aba3728cSThomas Gleixner add writeback entries. 161295ffa243SYinghai Lu 1613aba3728cSThomas Gleixner Can be disabled with disable_mtrr_cleanup on the kernel command line. 1614692105b8SMatt LaPlante The largest mtrr entry size for a continuous block can be set with 1615aba3728cSThomas Gleixner mtrr_chunk_size. 161695ffa243SYinghai Lu 16172ffb3501SYinghai Lu If unsure, say Y. 161895ffa243SYinghai Lu 161995ffa243SYinghai Luconfig MTRR_SANITIZER_ENABLE_DEFAULT 1620f5098d62SYinghai Lu int "MTRR cleanup enable value (0-1)" 1621f5098d62SYinghai Lu range 0 1 1622f5098d62SYinghai Lu default "0" 162395ffa243SYinghai Lu depends on MTRR_SANITIZER 16248f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 1625f5098d62SYinghai Lu Enable mtrr cleanup default value 162695ffa243SYinghai Lu 162712031a62SYinghai Luconfig MTRR_SANITIZER_SPARE_REG_NR_DEFAULT 162812031a62SYinghai Lu int "MTRR cleanup spare reg num (0-7)" 162912031a62SYinghai Lu range 0 7 163012031a62SYinghai Lu default "1" 163112031a62SYinghai Lu depends on MTRR_SANITIZER 16328f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 163312031a62SYinghai Lu mtrr cleanup spare entries default, it can be changed via 1634aba3728cSThomas Gleixner mtrr_spare_reg_nr=N on the kernel command line. 163512031a62SYinghai Lu 16362e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.comconfig X86_PAT 16376fc108a0SJan Beulich def_bool y 16386a108a14SDavid Rientjes prompt "x86 PAT support" if EXPERT 16392a8a2719SIngo Molnar depends on MTRR 16408f9ca475SIngo Molnar ---help--- 16412e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com Use PAT attributes to setup page level cache control. 1642042b78e4SVenki Pallipadi 16432e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com PATs are the modern equivalents of MTRRs and are much more 16442e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com flexible than MTRRs. 16452e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com 16462e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com Say N here if you see bootup problems (boot crash, boot hang, 1647042b78e4SVenki Pallipadi spontaneous reboots) or a non-working video driver. 16482e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com 16492e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com If unsure, say Y. 16502e5d9c85Svenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com 165146cf98cdSVenkatesh Pallipadiconfig ARCH_USES_PG_UNCACHED 165246cf98cdSVenkatesh Pallipadi def_bool y 165346cf98cdSVenkatesh Pallipadi depends on X86_PAT 165446cf98cdSVenkatesh Pallipadi 1655628c6246SH.
