config SMP
bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
---help---
This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
will run faster if you say N here.
See also the SMP-HOWTO available at
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
Even if you don't know what to do here, say Y.
config NR_CPUS
int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"

depends on SMP
default "32" if !64BIT
default "64" if 64BIT
help
This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 64 and the
minimum value which makes sense is 2.
This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
approximately sixteen kilobytes to the kernel image.
config HOTPLUG_CPU
bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs"
depends on SMP
select HOTPLUG
default n
help
Say Y here to be able to turn CPUs off and on. CPUs
can be controlled through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#.
Say N if you want to disable CPU hotplug.
config MATHEMU
bool "IEEE FPU emulation"
depends on MARCH_G5
help
This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic
on older S/390 machines. Say Y unless you know your machine doesn't
need this.
config COMPAT
bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
depends on 64BIT
select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF
help
Select this option if you want to enable your system kernel to
handle system-calls from ELF binaries for 31 bit ESA. This option
(and some other stuff like libraries and such) is needed for
executing 31 bit applications. It is safe to say "Y".

default y
config AUDIT_ARCH
bool

config S390_SWITCH_AMODE
bool "Switch kernel/user addressing modes"
help
This option allows to switch the addressing modes of kernel and user
space. The kernel parameter switch_amode=on will enable this feature,
default is disabled. Enabling this (via kernel parameter) on machines
earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC will reduce system performance.
Note that this option will also be selected by selecting the execute
protection option below. Enabling the execute protection via the
noexec kernel parameter will also switch the addressing modes,
independent of the switch_amode kernel parameter.
config S390_EXEC_PROTECT
bool "Data execute protection"
select S390_SWITCH_AMODE
help
This option allows to enable a buffer overflow protection for user
space programs and it also selects the addressing mode option above.
The kernel parameter noexec=on will enable this feature and also
switch the addressing modes, default is disabled. Enabling this (via
kernel parameter) on machines earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC
will reduce system performance.

help
Select this to build a 31 bit kernel that works
on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
config MARCH_Z900
bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"
help
Select this to optimize for zSeries machines. This
will enable some optimizations that are not available
on older 31 bit only CPUs.
config MARCH_Z990
bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z890 and z990"
help
Select this enable optimizations for model z890/z990.
This will be slightly faster but does not work on
older machines such as the z900.
config MARCH_Z9_109
bool "IBM System z9"
help
Select this to enable optimizations for IBM System z9-109, IBM
System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC), and IBM System z9 Business
Class (z9 BC). The kernel will be slightly faster but will not
work on older machines such as the z990, z890, z900, and z800.
config MARCH_Z10
bool "IBM System z10"
help
Select this to enable optimizations for IBM System z10. The
kernel will be slightly faster but will not work on older
machines such as the z990, z890, z900, z800, z9-109, z9-ec
and z9-bc.
endchoice
config PACK_STACK
bool "Pack kernel stack"
help
This option enables the compiler option -mkernel-backchain if it
is available. If the option is available the compiler supports
the new stack layout which dramatically reduces the minimum stack
frame size. With an old compiler a non-leaf function needs a
minimum of 96 bytes on 31 bit and 160 bytes on 64 bit. With
-mkernel-backchain the minimum size drops to 16 byte on 31 bit
and 24 byte on 64 bit.
Say Y if you are unsure.
config SMALL_STACK
bool "Use 8kb for kernel stack instead of 16kb"
depends on PACK_STACK && 64BIT && !LOCKDEP
help
If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. The reduced
size is 8kb instead of 16kb. This allows to run more threads on a
system and reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher
order page allocations.
Say N if you are unsure.
config CHECK_STACK
bool "Detect kernel stack overflow"
help
This option enables the compiler option -mstack-guard and
-mstack-size if they are available. If the compiler supports them
it will emit additional code to each function prolog to trigger
an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.
Say N if you are unsure.
config STACK_GUARD
int "Size of the guard area (128-1024)"
range 128 1024
depends on CHECK_STACK
default "256"
help
This allows you to specify the size of the guard area at the lower
end of the kernel stack. If the kernel stack points into the guard
area on function entry an illegal operation is triggered. The size
needs to be a power of 2. Please keep in mind that the size of an
interrupt frame is 184 bytes for 31 bit and 328 bytes on 64 bit.
The minimum size for the stack guard should be 256 for 31 bit and
512 for 64 bit.
config WARN_STACK
bool "Emit compiler warnings for function with broken stack usage"
help
This option enables the compiler options -mwarn-framesize and
-mwarn-dynamicstack. If the compiler supports these options it
will generate warnings for function which either use alloca or
create a stack frame bigger than CONFIG_WARN_STACK_SIZE.
Say N if you are unsure.
config WARN_STACK_SIZE
int "Maximum frame size considered safe (128-2048)"
range 128 2048
depends on WARN_STACK
default "2048"
help
This allows you to specify the maximum frame size a function may
have without the compiler complaining about it.

tristate "QDIO support"
---help---
This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for
IBM System z.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called qdio.
If unsure, say Y.
config CHSC_SCH
tristate "Support for CHSC subchannels"
help
This driver allows usage of CHSC subchannels. A CHSC subchannel
is usually present on LPAR only.
The driver creates a device /dev/chsc, which may be used to
obtain I/O configuration information about the machine and
to issue asynchronous chsc commands (DANGEROUS).
You will usually only want to use this interface on a special
LPAR designated for system management.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called chsc_sch.
If unsure, say N.

config IPL
bool "Builtin IPL record support"
help
If you want to use the produced kernel to IPL directly from a
device, you have to merge a bootsector specific to the device
into the first bytes of the kernel. You will have to select the
IPL device.

help
Say Y to print all process fault locations to the console. This is
a debugging option; you probably do not want to set it unless you
are an S390 port maintainer.
config PFAULT
bool "Pseudo page fault support"
help
Select this option, if you want to use PFAULT pseudo page fault
handling under VM. If running native or in LPAR, this option
has no effect. If your VM does not support PFAULT, PAGEEX
pseudo page fault handling will be used.
Note that VM 4.2 supports PFAULT but has a bug in its
implementation that causes some problems.
Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM != VM4.2 should select
this option.
config SHARED_KERNEL
bool "VM shared kernel support"
help
Select this option, if you want to share the text segment of the
Linux kernel between different VM guests. This reduces memory
usage with lots of guests but greatly increases kernel size.
Also if a kernel was IPL'ed from a shared segment the kexec system
call will not work.
You should only select this option if you know what you are
doing and want to exploit this feature.
config CMM
tristate "Cooperative memory management"
help
Select this option, if you want to enable the kernel interface
to reduce the memory size of the system. This is accomplished
by allocating pages of memory and put them "on hold". This only
makes sense for a system running under VM where the unused pages
will be reused by VM for other guest systems. The interface
allows an external monitor to balance memory of many systems.
Everybody who wants to run Linux under VM should select this
option.
config CMM_PROC
bool "/proc interface to cooperative memory management"
depends on CMM
help
Select this option to enable the /proc interface to the
cooperative memory management.
config CMM_IUCV
bool "IUCV special message interface to cooperative memory management"
depends on CMM && (SMSGIUCV=y || CMM=SMSGIUCV)
help
Select this option to enable the special message interface to
the cooperative memory management.
config PAGE_STATES
bool "Unused page notification"
help
This enables the notification of unused pages to the
hypervisor. The ESSA instruction is used to do the states
changes between a page that has content and the unused state.
config APPLDATA_BASE
bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
depends on PROC_FS
help
This provides a kernel interface for creating and updating z/VM APPLDATA
monitor records. The monitor records are updated at certain time
intervals, once the timer is started.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/timer starts(1) or stops(0) the timer,
i.e. enables or disables monitoring on the Linux side.
A custom interval value (in seconds) can be written to
/proc/appldata/interval.
Defaults are 60 seconds interval and timer off.
The /proc entries can also be read from, showing the current settings.
config APPLDATA_MEM
tristate "Monitor memory management statistics"
depends on APPLDATA_BASE && VM_EVENT_COUNTERS
help
This provides memory management related data to the Linux - VM Monitor
Stream, like paging/swapping rate, memory utilisation, etc.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/memory creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
on the z/VM side.
Default is disabled.
The /proc entry can also be read from, showing the current settings.
This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
appldata_mem.o.
config APPLDATA_OS
tristate "Monitor OS statistics"
depends on APPLDATA_BASE
help
This provides OS related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream, like
CPU utilisation, etc.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/os creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
on the z/VM side.
Default is disabled.
This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
appldata_os.o.
config APPLDATA_NET_SUM
tristate "Monitor overall network statistics"
depends on APPLDATA_BASE && NET
help
This provides network related data to the Linux - VM Monitor Stream,
currently there is only a total sum of network I/O statistics, no
per-interface data.
Writing 1 or 0 to /proc/appldata/net_sum creates(1) or removes(0) a z/VM
APPLDATA monitor record, i.e. enables or disables monitoring this record
on the z/VM side.
Default is disabled.
This can also be compiled as a module, which will be called
appldata_net_sum.o.

help
kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
but is independent of hardware/microcode support.

select VIRTIO
select VIRTIO_RING
select VIRTIO_CONSOLE
help
Select this option if you want to run the kernel as a guest under
the KVM hypervisor. This will add detection for KVM as well as a
virtio transport. If KVM is detected, the virtio console will be
the default console.
config SECCOMP
bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
depends on PROC_FS
default y
help
This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
defined by each seccomp mode.
If unsure, say Y.
