menu "Processor Capabilities"
config X86_IAMCU
bool "IAMCU calling convention"
help
The IAMCU calling convention changes the X86 C calling convention to
pass some arguments via registers allowing for code size and performance
improvements. 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 "Enable Memory Management Unit"
select MEMORY_PROTECTION
help
This options enables the memory management unit present in x86
and creates a set of page tables at build time. Requires an MMU
which supports PAE page tables.
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 "SSE registers"
depends on FLOAT
help
This option enables the use of SSE registers by threads.
config SSE_FP_MATH
bool "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.

default REBOOT_RST_CNT
config REBOOT_RST_CNT
bool "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 "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
bool
help
This option signifies the use of an Intel CPU that supports
the CMOV instruction.
config CACHE_LINE_SIZE_DETECT
bool "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 "Cache line size" 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 "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 "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 "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 X86_DYNAMIC_IRQ_STUBS
int "Number of dynamic interrupt stubs"
depends on DYNAMIC_INTERRUPTS
default 4
help
Installing interrupt handlers with irq_connect_dynamic() requires
some stub code to be generated at build time, one stub per dynamic
interrupt.
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.
