| ---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 supported x86 CPU types (albeit not |
| optimally fast), you can specify "486" here. |
| |
| Note that the 386 is no longer supported, this includes |
| AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI 486DLC/DLC2, |
| UMC 486SX-S and the NexGen Nx586. |
| |
| 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: |
| - "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). |
| - "Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8" for all K8 and newer AMD CPUs. |
| - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series. |
| - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series. |
| - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip. |
| - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities. |
| - "AMD Elan" for the 32-bit AMD Elan embedded CPU. |
| - "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. |
| - "Intel P4" for the Pentium 4/Netburst microarchitecture. |
| - "Core 2/newer Xeon" for all core2 and newer Intel CPUs. |
| - "Intel Atom" for the Atom-microarchitecture CPUs. |
| - "Generic-x86-64" for a kernel which runs on any x86-64 CPU. |
| |
| See each option's help text for additional details. If you don't know |
| what to do, choose "486". |

| extended instructions. |
| |
| config M686 |
| bool "Pentium-Pro" |
| depends on X86_32 |
| ---help--- |
| Select this for Intel Pentium Pro chips. This enables the use of |

| depends on X86_32 |
| ---help--- |
| Select this for Intel chips based on the Pentium-II and |

| flags to GCC. |
| |
| config MK7 |
| bool "Athlon/Duron/K7" |

| config MCRUSOE |
| bool "Crusoe" |
| depends on X86_32 |
| ---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). |

| and alignment requirements. |
| |
| config MWINCHIP3D |
| bool "Winchip-2/Winchip-2A/Winchip-3" |
| depends on X86_32 |
| ---help--- |
| Select this for an IDT Winchip-2, 2A or 3. Linux and GCC |
| treat this chip as a 586TSC with some extended instructions |
| and alignment requirements. Also enable out of order memory |
| stores for this CPU, which can increase performance of some |
| operations. |
| |
| config MELAN |
| bool "AMD Elan" |

| |
| config MCYRIXIII |
| bool "CyrixIII/VIA-C3" |
| depends on X86_32 |
| ---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)" |
| depends on X86_32 |
| ---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" |
| depends on X86_32 |
| ---help--- |
| Select this for a VIA C7. Selecting this uses the correct cache |
| shift and tells gcc to treat the CPU as a 686. |
| |
| config MPSC |
| bool "Intel P4 / older Netburst based Xeon" |
| depends on X86_64 |
| ---help--- |
| Optimize for Intel Pentium 4, Pentium D and older Nocona/Dempsey |
| Xeon CPUs with Intel 64bit which is compatible with x86-64. |
| Note that the latest Xeons (Xeon 51xx and 53xx) are not based on the |
| Netburst core and shouldn't use this option. You can distinguish them |
| using the cpu family field |
| in /proc/cpuinfo. Family 15 is an older Xeon, Family 6 a newer one. |
| |
| 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 distinguish newer from older Xeons by the CPU |
| family in /proc/cpuinfo. Newer ones have 6 and older ones 15 |
| (not a typo) |
| |
| config MATOM |
| bool "Intel Atom" |
| ---help--- |
| |
| Select this for the Intel Atom platform. Intel Atom CPUs have an |
| in-order pipelining architecture and thus can benefit from |
| accordingly optimized code. Use a recent GCC with specific Atom |
| support in order to fully benefit from selecting this option. |
| |
| config GENERIC_CPU |
| bool "Generic-x86-64" |

| depends on X86_32 |
| ---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. |
| |
