# Put here option for CPU selection and depending optimization
if !X86_ELAN
choice
prompt "Processor family"
default M686
config M386
bool "386"
depends on !UML
---help---
This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is used for
optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel that can run on
all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify
"386" here.
The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than
the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on
a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486.
Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed:
- "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI
486DLC/DLC2, UMC 486SX-S and NexGen Nx586. Only "386" kernels
will run on a 386 class machine.
- "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
- "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
(time stamp counter) register.
- "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
- "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
- "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
- "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
- "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
- "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
- "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
- "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
- "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
- "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
- "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
- "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchip 2.
- "Winchip-2A" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
- "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
- "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
- "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
- "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).
- "VIA C7" for VIA C7.
If you don't know what to do, choose "386".
config M486
bool "486"
help
Select this for a 486 series processor, either Intel or one of the
compatible processors from AMD, Cyrix, IBM, or Intel. Includes DX,
DX2, and DX4 variants; also SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or
U5S.
config M586
bool "586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX"
help
Select this for an 586 or 686 series processor such as the AMD K5,
the Cyrix 5x86, 6x86 and 6x86MX. This choice does not
assume the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction.
config M586TSC
bool "Pentium-Classic"
help
Select this for a Pentium Classic processor with the RDTSC (Read
Time Stamp Counter) instruction for benchmarking.
config M586MMX
bool "Pentium-MMX"
help
Select this for a Pentium with the MMX graphics/multimedia
extended instructions.
config M686
bool "Pentium-Pro"
help
Select this for Intel Pentium Pro chips. This enables the use of
Pentium Pro extended instructions, and disables the init-time guard
against the f00f bug found in earlier Pentiums.
config MPENTIUMII
bool "Pentium-II/Celeron(pre-Coppermine)"
help
Select this for Intel chips based on the Pentium-II and
pre-Coppermine Celeron core. This option enables an unaligned
copy optimization, compiles the kernel with optimization flags
tailored for the chip, and applies any applicable Pentium Pro
optimizations.
config MPENTIUMIII
bool "Pentium-III/Celeron(Coppermine)/Pentium-III Xeon"
help
Select this for Intel chips based on the Pentium-III and
Celeron-Coppermine core. This option enables use of some
extended prefetch instructions in addition to the Pentium II
extensions.
config MPENTIUMM
bool "Pentium M"
help
Select this for Intel Pentium M (not Pentium-4 M)
notebook chips.
config MCORE2
bool "Core 2/newer Xeon"
help
Select this for Intel Core 2 and newer Core 2 Xeons (Xeon 51xx and 53xx)
CPUs. You can distingush newer from older Xeons by the CPU family
in /proc/cpuinfo. Newer ones have 6.
config MPENTIUM4
bool "Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/older Xeon"
help
Select this for Intel Pentium 4 chips. This includes the
Pentium 4, P4-based Celeron and Xeon, and Pentium-4 M
(not Pentium M) chips. This option enables compile flags
optimized for the chip, uses the correct cache shift, and
applies any applicable Pentium III optimizations.
config MK6
bool "K6/K6-II/K6-III"
help
Select this for an AMD K6-family processor. Enables use of
some extended instructions, and passes appropriate optimization
flags to GCC.
config MK7
bool "Athlon/Duron/K7"
help
Select this for an AMD Athlon K7-family processor. Enables use of
some extended instructions, and passes appropriate optimization
flags to GCC.
config MK8
bool "Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8"
help
Select this for an AMD Opteron or Athlon64 Hammer-family processor. Enables
use of some extended instructions, and passes appropriate optimization
flags to GCC.
config MCRUSOE
bool "Crusoe"
help
Select this for a Transmeta Crusoe processor. Treats the processor
like a 586 with TSC, and sets some GCC optimization flags (like a
Pentium Pro with no alignment requirements).
config MEFFICEON
bool "Efficeon"
help
Select this for a Transmeta Efficeon processor.
config MWINCHIPC6
bool "Winchip-C6"
help
Select this for an IDT Winchip C6 chip. Linux and GCC
treat this chip as a 586TSC with some extended instructions
and alignment requirements.
config MWINCHIP2
bool "Winchip-2"
help
Select this for an IDT Winchip-2. Linux and GCC
treat this chip as a 586TSC with some extended instructions
and alignment requirements.
config MWINCHIP3D
bool "Winchip-2A/Winchip-3"
help
Select this for an IDT Winchip-2A or 3. Linux and GCC
treat this chip as a 586TSC with some extended instructions
and alignment reqirements. Also enable out of order memory
stores for this CPU, which can increase performance of some
operations.
config MGEODEGX1
bool "GeodeGX1"
help
Select this for a Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX) chip.
config MGEODE_LX
bool "Geode GX/LX"
help
Select this for AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
config MCYRIXIII
bool "CyrixIII/VIA-C3"
help
Select this for a Cyrix III or C3 chip. Presently Linux and GCC
treat this chip as a generic 586. Whilst the CPU is 686 class,
it lacks the cmov extension which gcc assumes is present when
generating 686 code.
Note that Nehemiah (Model 9) and above will not boot with this
kernel due to them lacking the 3DNow! instructions used in earlier
incarnations of the CPU.
config MVIAC3_2
bool "VIA C3-2 (Nehemiah)"
help
Select this for a VIA C3 "Nehemiah". Selecting this enables usage
of SSE and tells gcc to treat the CPU as a 686.
Note, this kernel will not boot on older (pre model 9) C3s.
config MVIAC7
bool "VIA C7"
help
Select this for a VIA C7. Selecting this uses the correct cache
shift and tells gcc to treat the CPU as a 686.
endchoice
config X86_GENERIC
bool "Generic x86 support"
help
Instead of just including optimizations for the selected
x86 variant (e.g. PII, Crusoe or Athlon), include some more
generic optimizations as well. This will make the kernel
perform better on x86 CPUs other than that selected.
This is really intended for distributors who need more
generic optimizations.
