help
This lets you select the page size of the kernel.
8KB and 64KB work quite well, since Sparc ELF sections
provide for up to 64KB alignment.
Therefore, 512KB and 4MB are for expert hackers only.
If you don't know what to do, choose 8KB.

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. Only embedded should say N here.

tristate "UltraSPARC-III bootbus i2c controller driver"
depends on PCI
help
The BBC devices on the UltraSPARC III have two I2C controllers. The
first I2C controller connects mainly to configuration PROMs (NVRAM,
CPU configuration, DIMM types, etc.). The second I2C controller
connects to environmental control devices such as fans and
temperature sensors. The second controller also connects to the
smartcard reader, if present. Say Y to enable support for these.
config VT
bool "Virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
select INPUT
default y
---help---
If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
character sequences that can be used to change those properties
directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
or network connection.
If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
shiny Linux system :-)
config VT_CONSOLE
bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EMBEDDED
depends on VT
default y
---help---
The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
If unsure, say Y.
config HW_CONSOLE
bool
depends on VT
default y
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, 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.
People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.
See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt>,
<file:Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt> and the SMP-HOWTO available at
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
config PREEMPT
bool "Preemptible Kernel"
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
under load.
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for a desktop, embedded
or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.

config ISA
bool
help
Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
(MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
config ISAPNP
bool
help
Say Y here if you would like support for ISA Plug and Play devices.
Some information is in <file:Documentation/isapnp.txt>.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called isapnp.
If unsure, say Y.
config EISA
bool
---help---
The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
Otherwise, say N.
config MCA
bool
help
MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
<file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.
config PCMCIA
tristate
---help---
Say Y here if you want to attach PCMCIA- or PC-cards to your Linux
computer. These are credit-card size devices such as network cards,
modems or hard drives often used with laptops computers. There are
actually two varieties of these cards: the older 16 bit PCMCIA cards
and the newer 32 bit CardBus cards. If you want to use CardBus
cards, you need to say Y here and also to "CardBus support" below.
To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
for location). Please also read the PCMCIA-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
To compile this driver as modules, choose M here: the

Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
The PCI-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
doesn't.
config PCI_DOMAINS

config RTC
tristate
depends on PCI
default y
---help---
If you say Y here and create a character special file /dev/rtc with
major number 10 and minor number 135 using mknod ("man mknod"), you
will get access to the real time clock (or hardware clock) built
into your computer.
Every PC has such a clock built in. It can be used to generate
signals from as low as 1Hz up to 8192Hz, and can also be used
as a 24 hour alarm. It reports status information via the file
/proc/driver/rtc and its behaviour is set by various ioctls on
/dev/rtc.
If you run Linux on a multiprocessor machine and said Y to
"Symmetric Multi Processing" above, you should say Y here to read
and set the RTC in an SMP compatible fashion.
If you think you have a use for such a device (such as periodic data
sampling), then say Y here, and read <file:Documentation/rtc.txt>
for details.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called rtc.
source "drivers/pci/Kconfig"
config SUN_OPENPROMFS
tristate "Openprom tree appears in /proc/openprom"
help
If you say Y, the OpenPROM device tree will be available as a
virtual file system, which you can mount to /proc/openprom by "mount
-t openpromfs none /proc/openprom".
To compile the /proc/openprom support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called openpromfs. If unsure, choose M.

If you want to run SunOS binaries (see SunOS binary emulation below)
or other a.out binaries, say Y. If unsure, say N.
source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
config SUNOS_EMUL
bool "SunOS binary emulation"
depends on BINFMT_AOUT32
help
This allows you to run most SunOS binaries. If you want to do this,
say Y here and place appropriate files in /usr/gnemul/sunos. See
<http://www.ultralinux.org/faq.html> for more information. If you
want to run SunOS binaries on an Ultra you must also say Y to
"Kernel support for 32-bit a.out binaries" above.
config SOLARIS_EMUL
tristate "Solaris binary emulation (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on SPARC32_COMPAT && EXPERIMENTAL
help
This is experimental code which will enable you to run (many)
Solaris binaries on your SPARC Linux machine.
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called solaris.
source "drivers/parport/Kconfig"
config PRINTER
tristate "Parallel printer support"
depends on PARPORT
---help---
If you intend to attach a printer to the parallel port of your Linux
box (as opposed to using a serial printer; if the connector at the
printer has 9 or 25 holes ["female"], then it's serial), say Y.
Also read the Printing-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
It is possible to share one parallel port among several devices
(e.g. printer and ZIP drive) and it is safe to compile the
corresponding drivers into the kernel.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here and read
<file:Documentation/parport.txt>. The module will be called lp.
If you have several parallel ports, you can specify which ports to
use with the "lp" kernel command line option. (Try "man bootparam"
or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about
how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.) The syntax of the
"lp" command line option can be found in <file:drivers/char/lp.c>.
If you have more than 8 printers, you need to increase the LP_NO
macro in lp.c and the PARPORT_MAX macro in parport.h.
config PPDEV
tristate "Support for user-space parallel port device drivers"
depends on PARPORT
---help---
Saying Y to this adds support for /dev/parport device nodes. This
is needed for programs that want portable access to the parallel
port, for instance deviceid (which displays Plug-and-Play device
IDs).
This is the parallel port equivalent of SCSI generic support (sg).
It is safe to say N to this -- it is not needed for normal printing
or parallel port CD-ROM/disk support.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ppdev.
If unsure, say N.
config ENVCTRL
tristate "SUNW, envctrl support"

help
Kernel support for temperature and fan monitoring on Sun SME
machines.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

---help---
This is the driver for the 7-segment display and LED present on
Sun Microsystems CompactPCI models CP1400 and CP1500.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called display7seg.
If you do not have a CompactPCI model CP1400 or CP1500, or
another UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine boardset with a 7-segment display,
you should say N to this option.
config CMDLINE_BOOL
bool "Default bootloader kernel arguments"
config CMDLINE
string "Initial kernel command string"
depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
default "console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/sda1"
help
Say Y here if you want to be able to pass default arguments to
the kernel. This will be overridden by the bootloader, if you
use one (such as SILO). This is most useful if you want to boot
a kernel from TFTP, and want default options to be available
with having them passed on the command line.
NOTE: This option WILL override the PROM bootargs setting!

menu "Unix98 PTY support"
config UNIX98_PTYS
bool "Unix98 PTY support"
---help---
A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
and xterms.
Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
The entries in /dev/pts/ are created on the fly by a virtual
file system; therefore, if you say Y here you should say Y to
"/dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs" as well.
If you want to say Y here, you need to have the C library glibc 2.1
or later (equal to libc-6.1, check with "ls -l /lib/libc.so.*").
Read the instructions in <file:Documentation/Changes> pertaining to

The maximum number of Unix98 PTYs that can be used at any one time.
The default is 256, and should be enough for desktop systems. Server
machines which support incoming telnet/rlogin/ssh connections and/or
serve several X terminals may want to increase this: every incoming
connection and every xterm uses up one PTY.
When not in use, each additional set of 256 PTYs occupy
approximately 8 KB of kernel memory on 32-bit architectures.
