# Put here option for CPU selection and depending optimization
choice
prompt "Processor family"
default M686 if X86_32
default GENERIC_CPU if X86_64
config M486
bool "486"
depends on X86_32
---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).
- "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.
- "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 "486".

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 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"
depends on X86_32
---help---
Select this for an AMD Elan processor.
Do not use this option for K6/Athlon/Opteron processors!
config MGEODEGX1

Select this for AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
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 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 MCORE2
bool "Intel Core 2"
---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)
Enables -march=core2
config MNEHALEM
bool "Intel Nehalem"
---help---
Select this for 1st Gen Core processors in the Nehalem family.
Enables -march=nehalem
config MWESTMERE

config GENERIC_CPU
bool "Generic-x86-64"
depends on X86_64
---help---
Generic x86-64 CPU.
Run equally well on all x86-64 CPUs.
config MNATIVE
bool "Native optimizations autodetected by GCC"
---help---
GCC 4.2 and above support -march=native, which automatically detects
the optimum settings to use based on your processor. -march=native
also detects and applies additional settings beyond -march specific
to your CPU, (eg. -msse4). Unless you have a specific reason not to
(e.g. distcc cross-compiling), you should probably be using
-march=native rather than anything listed below.
Enables -march=native
endchoice
config X86_GENERIC
bool "Generic x86 support"
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.
This is really intended for distributors who need more
generic optimizations.
config X86_MARCH_NATIVE
bool "Use -march=native cflag (EXPERIMENTAL)"
help
Setting Y here, will result in passing the -march=native and
-mtune=native cflags to GCC while compiling the kernel, which
makes GCC check the CPU capabilities and use the best cflags
for your computer.
Set Y here only if you use >=gcc-4.2.0.

Old PentiumPro multiprocessor systems had errata that could cause
memory operations to violate the x86 ordering standard in rare cases.
Enabling this option will attempt to work around some (but not all)
occurrences of this problem, at the cost of much heavier spinlock and
memory barrier operations.
If unsure, say n here. Even distro kernels should think twice before
enabling this: there are few systems, and an unlikely bug.

# P6_NOPs are a relatively minor optimization that require a family >=
# 6 processor, except that it is broken on certain VIA chips.
# Furthermore, AMD chips prefer a totally different sequence of NOPs
# (which work on all CPUs). In addition, it looks like Virtual PC
# does not understand them.
#
# As a result, disallow these if we're not compiling for X86_64 (these
# NOPs do work on all x86-64 capable chips); the list of processors in
# the right-hand clause are the cores that benefit from this optimization.
