Great care needs to be taken if you have assembly code that will be called from C or C code called from assembly code, the assembly code will need to be updated to conform to the new calling convention. If in doubt say N menu "Memory Management" config X86_MMU bool prompt "Enable Memory Management Unit" help This options enables the memory management unit present in x86. Enabling this will create boot time page table structure. config X86_PAE_MODE bool depends on X86_MMU prompt "Enable PAE page tables" help When selected the Page address extension mode is enabled. The PAE page tables provides a mechanism to selectively disable execution. So any Page Table Entry (PTE) that sets the XD bit will have all instruction fetches disabled in that 4KB region. The amount of RAM needed for PAE tables is more than twice that of 32-Bit paging because each PAE entry is 64bits wide. Note: Do not enable in RAM constrained devices. config X86_NO_MELTDOWN bool help This hidden option should be set on a per-SOC basis to indicate that a particular SOC is not vulnerable to the Meltdown CPU vulnerability. config X86_NO_SPECTRE_V2 bool default y help This hidden option should be set on a per-SOC basis to indicate that a particular SOC is not vulnerable to the Spectre V2 CPU vulnerability. config X86_NO_SPECTRE_V4 bool default y help This hidden option should be set on a per-SOC basis to indicate that a particular SOC is not vulnerable to the Spectre V4 CPU vulnerability. endmenu config X86_ENABLE_TSS bool help This hidden option enables defining a Task State Segment (TSS) for kernel execution. This is needed to handle double-faults or do privilege elevation. It also defines a special TSS and handler for correctly handling double-fault exceptions, instead of just letting the system triple-fault and reset. config X86_STACK_PROTECTION bool default y if HW_STACK_PROTECTION select SET_GDT select GDT_DYNAMIC select X86_ENABLE_TSS help This option leverages the MMU to cause a system fatal error if the bounds of the current process stack are overflowed. This is done by preceding all stack areas with a 4K guard page. config X86_USERSPACE bool default y if USERSPACE select THREAD_STACK_INFO select SET_GDT select GDT_DYNAMIC select X86_ENABLE_TSS help This option enables APIs to drop a thread's privileges down to ring 3, supporting user-level threads that are protected from each other and from crashing the kernel. menu "Architecture Floating Point Options" depends on CPU_HAS_FPU config SSE bool prompt "SSE registers" depends on FLOAT help This option enables the use of SSE registers by threads. config SSE_FP_MATH bool prompt "Compiler-generated SSEx instructions" depends on SSE help This option allows the compiler to generate SSEx instructions for performing floating point math. This can greatly improve performance when exactly the same operations are to be performed on multiple data objects; however, it can also significantly reduce performance when preemptive task switches occur because of the larger register set that must be saved and restored. Disabling this option means that the compiler utilizes only the x87 instruction set for floating point operations. endmenu choice prompt "Reboot implementation" depends on REBOOT default REBOOT_RST_CNT config REBOOT_RST_CNT bool prompt "Reboot via RST_CNT register" help Reboot via the RST_CNT register, going back to BIOS. endchoice config ISA_IA32 bool default y help This option signifies the use of a CPU based on the Intel IA-32 instruction set architecture. config IA32_LEGACY_IO_PORTS bool prompt "Support IA32 legacy IO ports" depends on ISA_IA32 help This option enables IA32 legacy IO ports. Note these are much slower than memory access, so they should be used in last resort. config CMOV def_bool n help This option signifies the use of an Intel CPU that supports the CMOV instruction. config CACHE_LINE_SIZE_DETECT bool prompt "Detect cache line size at runtime" default y help This option enables querying the CPUID register for finding the cache line size at the expense of taking more memory and code and a slightly increased boot time. If the CPU's cache line size is known in advance, disable this option and manually enter the value for CACHE_LINE_SIZE. config CACHE_LINE_SIZE int prompt "Cache line size" if !CACHE_LINE_SIZE_DETECT default 0 if CACHE_LINE_SIZE_DETECT default 64 if CPU_ATOM default 0 help Size in bytes of a CPU cache line. Detect automatically at runtime by selecting CACHE_LINE_SIZE_DETECT. config CLFLUSH_INSTRUCTION_SUPPORTED bool prompt "CLFLUSH instruction supported" depends on !CLFLUSH_DETECT && CACHE_FLUSHING help An implementation of sys_cache_flush() that uses CLFLUSH is made available, instead of the one using WBINVD. This option should only be enabled if it is known in advance that the CPU supports the CLFLUSH instruction. It disables runtime detection of CLFLUSH support thereby reducing both memory footprint and boot time. config CLFLUSH_DETECT bool prompt "Detect support of CLFLUSH instruction at runtime" depends on CACHE_FLUSHING help This option should be enabled if it is not known in advance whether the CPU supports the CLFLUSH instruction or not. The CPU is queried at boot time to determine which of the multiple implementations of sys_cache_flush() linked into the image is the correct one to use. If the CPU's support (or lack thereof) of CLFLUSH is known in advance, then disable this option and set CLFLUSH_INSTRUCTION_SUPPORTED as appropriate. config ARCH_CACHE_FLUSH_DETECT bool default y depends on CLFLUSH_DETECT config CACHE_FLUSHING bool prompt "Enable cache flushing mechanism" help This links in the sys_cache_flush() function. A mechanism for flushing the cache must be selected as well. By default, that mechanism is discovered at runtime. config PIC_DISABLE bool "Disable PIC" help This option disables all interrupts on the PIC config X86_KERNEL_OOPS bool "Enable handling of kernel oops as an exception" default y help Enable handling of k_oops() API as a CPU exception, which will provide extra debugging information such as program counter and register values when the oops is triggered. Requires an entry in the IDT. config X86_KERNEL_OOPS_VECTOR int "IDT vector to use for kernel oops" default 62 if MVIC default 33 if !MVIC range 32 255 depends on X86_KERNEL_OOPS help Specify the IDT vector to use for the kernel oops exception handler. The default should be fine for most arches, but on systems like MVIC where there is a fixed IRQ-to-vector mapping another value may be needed to avoid collision. config IRQ_OFFLOAD_VECTOR int "IDT vector to use for IRQ offload" default 63 if MVIC default 32 if !MVIC range 32 255 depends on IRQ_OFFLOAD help Specify the IDT vector to use for the IRQ offload interrupt handler. The default should be fine for most arches, but on systems like MVIC where there is a fixed IRQ-to-vector mapping another value may be needed to avoid collision. config XIP default n config X86_FIXED_IRQ_MAPPING bool help Specify whether the current interrupt controller in use has a fixed mapping between IDT vectors and IRQ lines. endmenu gsource "arch/x86/soc/*/Kconfig" endmenu
