on all S/390 and zSeries machines.
config MARCH_Z900
bool "IBM eServer zSeries model z800 and z900"

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

help
Select this enable optimizations for model z990.
This will be slightly faster but does not work on
older machines such as the z900.
endchoice
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 <file:Documentation/smp.tex>,
<file:Documentation/smp.txt> and 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 (2-32)"
range 2 32
depends on SMP && ARCH_S390X = 'n'
default "32"
help
This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 32 and the
minimum value which makes sense is 2.
This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds
approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.
config NR_CPUS
int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-64)"
range 2 64
depends on SMP && ARCH_S390X
default "64"
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 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 S390_SUPPORT
bool "Kernel support for 31 bit emulation"
depends on ARCH_S390X
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".
config COMPAT
bool
depends on S390_SUPPORT
default y
config BINFMT_ELF32
tristate "Kernel support for 31 bit ELF binaries"
depends on S390_SUPPORT
help
This allows you to run 32-bit Linux/ELF binaries on your zSeries
in 64 bit mode. Everybody wants this; say Y.
comment "I/O subsystem configuration"
config MACHCHK_WARNING
bool "Process warning machine checks"
help
Select this option if you want the machine check handler on IBM S/390 or
zSeries to process warning machine checks (e.g. on power failures).
If unsure, say "Y".
config QDIO
tristate "QDIO support"
---help---
This driver provides the Queued Direct I/O base support for the
IBM S/390 (G5 and G6) and eServer zSeries (z800, z900 and z990).
For details please refer to the documentation provided by IBM at
<http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux390>
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called qdio.
If unsure, say Y.
config QDIO_PERF_STATS
bool "Performance statistics in /proc"
depends on QDIO
help
Say Y here to get performance statistics in /proc/qdio_perf
If unsure, say N.
comment "Misc"
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 N if you are unsure.
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.
choice
prompt "IPL method generated into head.S"
depends on IPL
default IPL_TAPE
help
Select "tape" if you want to IPL the image from a Tape.
Select "vm_reader" if you are running under VM/ESA and want
to IPL the image from the emulated card reader.
config IPL_TAPE
bool "tape"
config IPL_VM
bool "vm_reader"
endchoice
source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt"
config PROCESS_DEBUG
bool "Show crashed user process info"
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.
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 VIRT_TIMER
bool "Virtual CPU timer support"
help
This provides a kernel interface for virtual CPU timers.
Default is disabled.
config APPLDATA_BASE
bool "Linux - VM Monitor Stream, base infrastructure"
depends on PROC_FS && VIRT_TIMER=y
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
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
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.

config MAGIC_SYSRQ
bool "Magic SysRq key"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
unless you really know what this hack does.
config DEBUG_SLAB
bool "Debug memory allocations"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed
memory.
config KALLSYMS
bool "Load all symbols for debugging/kksymoops"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and
symbolic stack backtraces. This increases the size of the kernel
somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.
config DEBUG_INFO
bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
Say Y here only if you plan to use gdb to debug the kernel.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.
config DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP
bool "Sleep-inside-spinlock checking"
help
If you say Y here, various routines which may sleep will become very
noisy if they are called with a spinlock held.
