Pull DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski: "Those patches are continuation of my earlier work. They contains extensions to DMA-mapping framework to remove limitation of the current ARM implementation (like limited total size of DMA coherent/write combine buffers), improve performance of buffer sharing between devices (attributes to skip cpu cache operations or creation of additional kernel mapping for some specific use cases) as well as some unification of the common code for dma_mmap_attrs() and dma_mmap_coherent() functions. All extensions have been implemented and tested for ARM architecture." * 'for-linus-for-3.6-rc1' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping: ARM: dma-mapping: add support for DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC attribute ARM: dma-mapping: add support for dma_get_sgtable() common: dma-mapping: introduce dma_get_sgtable() function ARM: dma-mapping: add support for DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING attribute common: dma-mapping: add support for generic dma_mmap_* calls ARM: dma-mapping: fix error path for memory allocation failure ARM: dma-mapping: add more sanity checks in arm_dma_mmap() ARM: dma-mapping: remove custom consistent dma region mm: vmalloc: use const void * for caller argument scatterlist: add sg_alloc_table_from_pages function

Kernel Parameters
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as implemented
|
|
(mostly) by the __setup() macro and sorted into English Dictionary order
|
|
(defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits before letters in a
|
|
case insensitive manner), and with descriptions where known.
|
|
|
|
Module parameters for loadable modules are specified only as the
|
|
parameter name with optional '=' and value as appropriate, such as:
|
|
|
|
modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
|
|
|
|
Module parameters for modules that are built into the kernel image
|
|
are specified on the kernel command line with the module name plus
|
|
'.' plus parameter name, with '=' and value if appropriate, such as:
|
|
|
|
usbcore.blinkenlights=1
|
|
|
|
Hyphens (dashes) and underscores are equivalent in parameter names, so
|
|
log_buf_len=1M print-fatal-signals=1
|
|
can also be entered as
|
|
log-buf-len=1M print_fatal_signals=1
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
|
|
"modinfo -p ${modulename}" shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
|
|
module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
|
|
reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
|
|
parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
|
|
"echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}".
|
|
|
|
The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were
|
|
enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at
|
|
the beginning of each description states the restrictions within which a
|
|

|
|
XEN Xen support is enabled
|
|
|
|
In addition, the following text indicates that the option:
|
|
|
|
BUGS= Relates to possible processor bugs on the said processor.
|
|
KNL Is a kernel start-up parameter.
|
|
BOOT Is a boot loader parameter.
|
|
|
|
Parameters denoted with BOOT are actually interpreted by the boot
|
|
loader, and have no meaning to the kernel directly.
|
|
Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme
|
|
need or coordination with <Documentation/x86/boot.txt>.
|
|
|
|
There are also arch-specific kernel-parameters not documented here.
|
|
See for example <Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt>.
|
|
|
|
Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that
|
|
a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
|
|
be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
|
|
it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs
|
|
running once the system is up.
|
|
|
|
The number of kernel parameters is not limited, but the length of the
|
|
complete command line (parameters including spaces etc.) is limited to
|
|
a fixed number of characters. This limit depends on the architecture
|
|
and is between 256 and 4096 characters. It is defined in the file
|
|
./include/asm/setup.h as COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the [KMG] suffix is commonly described after a number of kernel
|
|
parameter values. These 'K', 'M', and 'G' letters represent the _binary_
|
|
multipliers 'Kilo', 'Mega', and 'Giga', equalling 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30
|
|
bytes respectively. Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted.

|
|
noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
|
|
strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
|

strictly ACPI specification compliant.
|
|
rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
|
|
copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
|
|
|
|
See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
|
|
|
|
acpi_rsdp= [ACPI,EFI,KEXEC]
|
|
Pass the RSDP address to the kernel, mostly used
|
|
on machines running EFI runtime service to boot the
|
|
second kernel for kdump.
|
|
|
|
acpi_apic_instance= [ACPI, IOAPIC]
|
|
Format: <int>
|
|
2: use 2nd APIC table, if available
|
|
1,0: use 1st APIC table
|
|
default: 0
|
|
|
|
acpi_backlight= [HW,ACPI]
|
|
acpi_backlight=vendor
|
|
acpi_backlight=video
|
|
If set to vendor, prefer vendor specific driver
|
|
(e.g. thinkpad_acpi, sony_acpi, etc.) instead
|
|
of the ACPI video.ko driver.
|
|
|
|
acpi.debug_layer= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
|
|
acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
|
|
Format: <int>
|
|
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
|
|
debug output. Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
|
|
_COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
|
|
#define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
|
|
Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
|
|
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
|
|
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
|
|
The debug_level mask defaults to "info". See
|
|
Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for more information about
|
|
debug layers and levels.
|
|
|
|
Enable processor driver info messages:
|
|
acpi.debug_layer=0x20000000
|
|
Enable PCI/PCI interrupt routing info messages:
|
|
acpi.debug_layer=0x400000
|
|
Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
|
|
object while interpreting AML:
|
|
acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
|
|
Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
|
|
acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
|
|
|
|
Some values produce so much output that the system is
|
|
unusable. The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
|
|
if you need to capture more output.
|
|
|
|
acpi_irq_balance [HW,ACPI]
|
|
ACPI will balance active IRQs
|
|
default in APIC mode
|
|
|
|
acpi_irq_nobalance [HW,ACPI]
|
|
ACPI will not move active IRQs (default)
|
|
default in PIC mode
|
|
|
|
acpi_irq_isa= [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, mark listed IRQs used by ISA
|
|
Format: <irq>,<irq>...
|
|
|
|
acpi_irq_pci= [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, clear listed IRQs for
|
|
use by PCI
|
|
Format: <irq>,<irq>...
|
|
|
|
acpi_no_auto_ssdt [HW,ACPI] Disable automatic loading of SSDT
|
|
|
|
acpi_os_name= [HW,ACPI] Tell ACPI BIOS the name of the OS
|
|
Format: To spoof as Windows 98: ="Microsoft Windows"
|
|
|
|
acpi_osi= [HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
|
|
acpi_osi="string1" # add string1 -- only one string
|
|
acpi_osi="!string2" # remove built-in string2
|
|
acpi_osi= # disable all strings
|
|
|
|
acpi_pm_good [X86]
|
|
Override the pmtimer bug detection: force the kernel
|
|
to assume that this machine's pmtimer latches its value
|
|
and always returns good values.
|
|
|
|
acpi_sci= [HW,ACPI] ACPI System Control Interrupt trigger mode
|
|
Format: { level | edge | high | low }
|
|
|
|
acpi_serialize [HW,ACPI] force serialization of AML methods
|
|

|
|
|
|
acpi_sleep= [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
|
|
Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
|
|
old_ordering, nonvs, sci_force_enable }
|
|
See Documentation/power/video.txt for information on
|
|
s3_bios and s3_mode.
|
|
s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
|
|
as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
|
|
s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
|
|
used during resume from hibernation.
|
|
old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
|
|
control method, with respect to putting devices into
|
|
low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
|
|
of _PTS is used by default).
|
|
nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
|
|
ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
|
|
sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
|
|
on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
|
|
but some broken systems don't work without it).
|
|
|
|
acpi_use_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
|
|
Use timer override. For some broken Nvidia NF5 boards
|
|
that require a timer override, but don't have HPET
|
|
|
|
acpi_enforce_resources= [ACPI]
|
|
{ strict | lax | no }
|
|
Check for resource conflicts between native drivers
|
|
and ACPI OperationRegions (SystemIO and SystemMemory
|
|
only). IO ports and memory declared in ACPI might be
|
|
used by the ACPI subsystem in arbitrary AML code and
|
|
can interfere with legacy drivers.
|
|
strict (default): access to resources claimed by ACPI
|
|
is denied; legacy drivers trying to access reserved
|
|
resources will fail to bind to device using them.
|
|
lax: access to resources claimed by ACPI is allowed;
|
|
legacy drivers trying to access reserved resources
|
|
will bind successfully but a warning message is logged.
|
|
no: ACPI OperationRegions are not marked as reserved,
|
|
no further checks are performed.
|
|
|
|
add_efi_memmap [EFI; X86] Include EFI memory map in
|
|
kernel's map of available physical RAM.

See Documentation/sound/alsa/alsa-parameters.txt
|
|
|
|
alignment= [KNL,ARM]
|
|
Allow the default userspace alignment fault handler
|
|
behaviour to be specified. Bit 0 enables warnings,
|
|
bit 1 enables fixups, and bit 2 sends a segfault.

|
|
|
align_va_addr= [X86-64]
|
|
Align virtual addresses by clearing slice [14:12] when
|
|
allocating a VMA at process creation time. This option
|
|
gives you up to 3% performance improvement on AMD F15h
|
|
machines (where it is enabled by default) for a
|
|
CPU-intensive style benchmark, and it can vary highly in
|
|
a microbenchmark depending on workload and compiler.
|
|
|
|
32: only for 32-bit processes
|
|
64: only for 64-bit processes
|
|
on: enable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
|
|
off: disable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
|
|
|
|
amd_iommu= [HW,X86-64]
|
|
Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
|
|
Possible values are:
|
|
fullflush - enable flushing of IO/TLB entries when
|
|
they are unmapped. Otherwise they are
|
|
flushed before they will be reused, which
|
|
is a lot of faster
|
|
off - do not initialize any AMD IOMMU found in
|
|
the system
|
|
force_isolation - Force device isolation for all
|
|
devices. The IOMMU driver is not
|
|
allowed anymore to lift isolation
|
|
requirements as needed. This option
|
|
does not override iommu=pt
|
|
|
|
amd_iommu_dump= [HW,X86-64]
|
|
Enable AMD IOMMU driver option to dump the ACPI table
|
|
for AMD IOMMU. With this option enabled, AMD IOMMU
|
|
driver will print ACPI tables for AMD IOMMU during
|
|
IOMMU initialization.

|
ones should be.
|
|
Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
|
|
or using the feature without checking anything
|

crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]]
|
|
[KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel'
|
|
upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical
|
|
memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel
|
|
image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset
|
|
is selected automatically. Check

|
|
|
|
debug_guardpage_minorder=
|
|
[KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this
|
|
parameter allows control of the order of pages that will
|
|
be intentionally kept free (and hence protected) by the
|
|
buddy allocator. Bigger value increase the probability
|
|
of catching random memory corruption, but reduce the
|
|
amount of memory for normal system use. The maximum
|
|
possible value is MAX_ORDER/2. Setting this parameter
|
|
to 1 or 2 should be enough to identify most random
|
|
memory corruption problems caused by bugs in kernel or
|
|
driver code when a CPU writes to (or reads from) a
|
|
random memory location. Note that there exists a class
|
|
of memory corruptions problems caused by buggy H/W or
|
|
F/W or by drivers badly programing DMA (basically when
|
|
memory is written at bus level and the CPU MMU is
|
|
bypassed) which are not detectable by
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, hence this option will not help
|
|
tracking down these problems.
|
|
|
|
debugpat [X86] Enable PAT debugging

|
|
|
|
disable_mtrr_cleanup [X86]
|
|
The kernel tries to adjust MTRR layout from continuous
|
|
to discrete, to make X server driver able to add WB
|
|
entry later. This parameter disables that.
|
|
|
|
disable_mtrr_trim [X86, Intel and AMD only]
|
|
By default the kernel will trim any uncacheable
|
|
memory out of your available memory pool based on
|
|
MTRR settings. This parameter disables that behavior,
|
|
possibly causing your machine to run very slowly.
|
|
|
|
disable_timer_pin_1 [X86]
|
|
Disable PIN 1 of APIC timer
|
|
Can be useful to work around chipset bugs.

|
dma_debug=off If the kernel is compiled with DMA_API_DEBUG support,
|
|
this option disables the debugging code at boot.
|
|
|
|
dma_debug_entries=<number>
|
|
This option allows to tune the number of preallocated
|
|
entries for DMA-API debugging code. One entry is
|
|
required per DMA-API allocation. Use this if the
|
|
DMA-API debugging code disables itself because the
|
|
architectural default is too low.
|
|
|
|
dma_debug_driver=<driver_name>
|
|
With this option the DMA-API debugging driver
|
|
filter feature can be enabled at boot time. Just
|
|
pass the driver to filter for as the parameter.
|
|
The filter can be disabled or changed to another
|
|
driver later using sysfs.
|
|
|
|
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<file>
|
|
Broken monitors, graphic adapters and KVMs may
|
|
send no or incorrect EDID data sets. This parameter
|
|
allows to specify an EDID data set in the
|
|
/lib/firmware directory that is used instead.
|
|
Generic built-in EDID data sets are used, if one of
|
|
edid/1024x768.bin, edid/1280x1024.bin,
|
|
edid/1680x1050.bin, or edid/1920x1080.bin is given
|
|
and no file with the same name exists. Details and
|
|
instructions how to build your own EDID data are
|
|
available in Documentation/EDID/HOWTO.txt. An EDID
|
|
data set will only be used for a particular connector,
|
|
if its name and a colon are prepended to the EDID
|
|
name.

|
i915.invert_brightness=
|
|
[DRM] Invert the sense of the variable that is used to
|
|
set the brightness of the panel backlight. Normally a
|
|
brightness value of 0 indicates backlight switched off,
|
|
and the maximum of the brightness value sets the backlight
|
|
to maximum brightness. If this parameter is set to 0
|
|
(default) and the machine requires it, or this parameter
|
|
is set to 1, a brightness value of 0 sets the backlight
|
|
to maximum brightness, and the maximum of the brightness
|
|
value switches the backlight off.
|
|
-1 -- never invert brightness
|
|
0 -- machine default
|

idle= [X86]
|
|
Format: idle=poll, idle=mwait, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
|
|
Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly
|
|
improve the performance of waking up a idle CPU, but
|
|
will use a lot of power and make the system run hot.
|
|
Not recommended.
|
|
idle=mwait: On systems which support MONITOR/MWAIT but
|
|
the kernel chose to not use it because it doesn't save
|
|
as much power as a normal idle loop, use the
|
|
MONITOR/MWAIT idle loop anyways. Performance should be
|
|
the same as idle=poll.
|
|
idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle.
|
|
In such case C2/C3 won't be used again.
|
|
idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states
|
|
|
|
ignore_loglevel [KNL]
|
|
Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/
|
|
kernel messages to the console. Useful for debugging.
|
|
We also add it as printk module parameter, so users
|
|
could change it dynamically, usually by

|
|
Disable intel iommu driver.
|
|
igfx_off [Default Off]
|
|
By default, gfx is mapped as normal device. If a gfx
|
|
device has a dedicated DMAR unit, the DMAR unit is
|
|
bypassed by not enabling DMAR with this option. In
|
|
this case, gfx device will use physical address for
|
|
DMA.
|
|
forcedac [x86_64]
|
|
With this option iommu will not optimize to look
|
|
for io virtual address below 32-bit forcing dual
|
|
address cycle on pci bus for cards supporting greater
|
|
than 32-bit addressing. The default is to look
|
|
for translation below 32-bit and if not available
|
|
then look in the higher range.
|
|
strict [Default Off]
|
|
With this option on every unmap_single operation will
|
|
result in a hardware IOTLB flush operation as opposed
|
|
to batching them for performance.
|
|
sp_off [Default Off]
|
|
By default, super page will be supported if Intel IOMMU
|
|
has the capability. With this option, super page will
|
|
not be supported.

isolcpus= [KNL,SMP] Isolate CPUs from the general scheduler.
|
|
Format:
|
|
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
|
|
or
|
|
<cpu number>-<cpu number>
|
|
(must be a positive range in ascending order)
|
|
or a mixture
|
|
<cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>
|
|
|
|
This option can be used to specify one or more CPUs
|
|
to isolate from the general SMP balancing and scheduling
|
|
algorithms. You can move a process onto or off an
|
|
"isolated" CPU via the CPU affinity syscalls or cpuset.
|
|
<cpu number> begins at 0 and the maximum value is
|
|
"number of CPUs in system - 1".
|
|
|
|
This option is the preferred way to isolate CPUs. The
|
|
alternative -- manually setting the CPU mask of all
|
|
tasks in the system -- can cause problems and
|
|
suboptimal load balancer performance.

kernelcore=nn[KMG] [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter
|
|
specifies the amount of memory usable by the kernel
|
|
for non-movable allocations. The requested amount is
|
|
spread evenly throughout all nodes in the system. The
|
|
remaining memory in each node is used for Movable
|
|
pages. In the event, a node is too small to have both
|
|
kernelcore and Movable pages, kernelcore pages will
|
|
take priority and other nodes will have a larger number
|
|
of kernelcore pages. The Movable zone is used for the
|
|
allocation of pages that may be reclaimed or moved
|
|
by the page migration subsystem. This means that
|
|
HugeTLB pages may not be allocated from this zone.
|
|
Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem still
|
|
use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
|
|
zone if it does not.
|
|
|
|
kgdbdbgp= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
|
|
Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]
|
|
The controller # is the number of the ehci usb debug

|
port as it is probed via PCI. The poll interval is
|
|
optional and is the number seconds in between
|
|
each poll cycle to the debug port in case you need
|
|
the functionality for interrupting the kernel with
|
|
gdb or control-c on the dbgp connection. When
|
|
not using this parameter you use sysrq-g to break into
|
|
the kernel debugger.
|
|
|
|
kgdboc= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over consoles.

|
matching port, link or device. Basically, it matches
|
|
the ATA ID string printed on console by libata. If
|
|
the whole ID part is omitted, the last PORT and DEVICE
|
|
values are used. If ID hasn't been specified yet, the
|
|
configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.
|
|
|
|
If only DEVICE is omitted, the parameter applies to
|
|
the port and all links and devices behind it. DEVICE
|
|
number of 0 either selects the first device or the
|
|
first fan-out link behind PMP device. It does not
|
|
select the host link. DEVICE number of 15 selects the
|
|
host link and device attached to it.
|
|
|
|
The VAL specifies the configuration to force. As long
|
|
as there's no ambiguity shortcut notation is allowed.
|
|
For example, both 1.5 and 1.5G would work for 1.5Gbps.
|
|

loglevel= All Kernel Messages with a loglevel smaller than the
|
|
console loglevel will be printed to the console. It can
|
|
also be changed with klogd or other programs. The
|
|
loglevels are defined as follows:
|
|
|
|
0 (KERN_EMERG) system is unusable
|
|
1 (KERN_ALERT) action must be taken immediately
|
|
2 (KERN_CRIT) critical conditions
|
|
3 (KERN_ERR) error conditions
|
|
4 (KERN_WARNING) warning conditions
|
|
5 (KERN_NOTICE) normal but significant condition
|
|
6 (KERN_INFO) informational
|
|
7 (KERN_DEBUG) debug-level messages
|
|
|
|
log_buf_len=n[KMG] Sets the size of the printk ring buffer,

|
|
lp=0 [LP] Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
|
|
lp=port[,port...] lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
|
|
lp=reset first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
|
|
lp=auto printer driver. 'lp=reset' (which can be
|
|
specified in addition to the ports) causes
|
|
attached printers to be reset. Using
|
|
lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
|
|
to associate lp devices with, starting with
|
|
lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
|
|
that lp device, or a parport name such as
|
|
'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
|
|
port specification list means that device IDs
|
|
from each port should be examined, to see if
|
|
an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached; if
|
|
so, the driver will manage that printer.
|
|
See also header of drivers/char/lp.c.
|
|
|
|
lpj=n [KNL]
|
|
Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
|
|
time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
|
|
CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
|
|
the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
|
|
autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
|
|
on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
|
|
which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
|
|
significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
|
|
will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
|
|
unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
|
|
unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
|
|
hardware.

than or equal to this physical address is ignored.
|
|
|
|
maxcpus= [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
|
|
should make use of. maxcpus=n : n >= 0 limits the
|
|
kernel to using 'n' processors. n=0 is a special case,
|
|
it is equivalent to "nosmp", which also disables
|
|
the IO APIC.
|
|
|
|
max_loop= [LOOP] The number of loop block devices that get
|
|
(loop.max_loop) unconditionally pre-created at init time. The default
|
|
number is configured by BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT. Instead
|
|
of statically allocating a predefined number, loop
|
|
devices can be requested on-demand with the
|
|
/dev/loop-control interface.

mem=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Force usage of a specific amount of memory
|
|
Amount of memory to be used when the kernel is not able
|
|
to see the whole system memory or for test.
|
|
[X86-32] Use together with memmap= to avoid physical
|
|
address space collisions. Without memmap= PCI devices
|
|
could be placed at addresses belonging to unused RAM.
|
|
|
|
mem=nopentium [BUGS=X86-32] Disable usage of 4MB pages for kernel
|
|
memory.
|
|
|
|
memchunk=nn[KMG]
|
|
[KNL,SH] Allow user to override the default size for
|
|
per-device physically contiguous DMA buffers.
|
|
|
|
memmap=exactmap [KNL,X86] Enable setting of an exact
|
|
E820 memory map, as specified by the user.
|
|
Such memmap=exactmap lines can be constructed based on
|
|
BIOS output or other requirements. See the memmap=nn@ss
|
|
option description.
|
|
|
|
memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
|
|
[KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory
|
|
Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
|
|
|
|
memmap=nn[KMG]#ss[KMG]

|
or
|
|
memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
|
|
|
|
memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
|
|
Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
|
|
memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
|
|
Setting this option will scan the memory
|
|
looking for corruption. Enabling this will
|
|
both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
|
|
from using the memory being corrupted.
|
|
However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
|
|
repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
|
|
affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
|
|
to prevent the kernel from using that memory.
|
|
|
|
memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
|
|
By default it checks for corruption in the low
|
|
64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
|
|
use. Use this parameter to scan for
|
|
corruption in more or less memory.
|
|
|
|
memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
|
|
By default it checks for corruption every 60
|
|
seconds. Use this parameter to check at some
|
|
other rate. 0 disables periodic checking.
|
|
|
|
memtest= [KNL,X86] Enable memtest
|
|
Format: <integer>
|
|
default : 0 <disable>
|
|
Specifies the number of memtest passes to be
|
|
performed. Each pass selects another test
|
|
pattern from a given set of patterns. Memtest
|
|
fills the memory with this pattern, validates
|
|
memory contents and reserves bad memory
|
|
regions that are detected.

|
MINI2440 configuration specification:
|
|
0 - The attached screen is the 3.5" TFT
|
|
1 - The attached screen is the 7" TFT
|
|
2 - The VGA Shield is attached (1024x768)
|
|
Leaving out the screen size parameter will not load
|
|
the TFT driver, and the framebuffer will be left
|
|
unconfigured.
|
|
b - Enable backlight. The TFT backlight pin will be
|
|
linked to the kernel VESA blanking code and a GPIO
|
|
LED. This parameter is not necessary when using the
|
|
VGA shield.
|
|
c - Enable the s3c camera interface.
|
|
t - Reserved for enabling touchscreen support. The
|
|
touchscreen support is not enabled in the mainstream

kernel as of 2.6.30, a preliminary port can be found
|
|
in the "bleeding edge" mini2440 support kernel at
|
|
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git
|
|
|
|
mminit_loglevel=
|
|
[KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set, this
|
|
parameter allows control of the logging verbosity for
|
|
the additional memory initialisation checks. A value
|
|
of 0 disables mminit logging and a level of 4 will
|
|
log everything. Information is printed at KERN_DEBUG
|
|
so loglevel=8 may also need to be specified.
|
|
|
|
mousedev.tap_time=
|
|
[MOUSE] Maximum time between finger touching and
|
|
leaving touchpad surface for touch to be considered
|
|
a tap and be reported as a left button click (for
|
|
touchpads working in absolute mode only).
|
|
Format: <msecs>

|
mousedev.xres= [MOUSE] Horizontal screen resolution, used for devices
|
|
reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
|
|
mousedev.yres= [MOUSE] Vertical screen resolution, used for devices
|
|
reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
|
|
|
|
movablecore=nn[KMG] [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter
|
|
is similar to kernelcore except it specifies the
|
|
amount of memory used for migratable allocations.
|
|
If both kernelcore and movablecore is specified,
|
|
then kernelcore will be at *least* the specified
|
|
value but may be more. If movablecore on its own
|
|
is specified, the administrator must be careful
|
|
that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
|
|
is not too small.
|
|
|

|
|
that could hold holes aka. UC entries.
|
|
|
|
mtrr_gran_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
|
|
Used for mtrr cleanup. It is granularity of mtrr block.
|
|
Default is 1.
|
|
Large value could prevent small alignment from

|
using up MTRRs.
|
|
|
|
mtrr_spare_reg_nr=n [X86]
|
|
Format: <integer>
|

netdev= [NET] Network devices parameters
|
|
Format: <irq>,<io>,<mem_start>,<mem_end>,<name>
|
|
Note that mem_start is often overloaded to mean
|
|
something different and driver-specific.
|
|
This usage is only documented in each driver source
|
|
file if at all.
|
|
|
|
nf_conntrack.acct=
|
|
[NETFILTER] Enable connection tracking flow accounting
|
|
0 to disable accounting

|
|
|
|
nfs.callback_tcpport=
|
|
[NFS] set the TCP port on which the NFSv4 callback
|
|
channel should listen.
|
|
|
|
nfs.cache_getent=
|
|
[NFS] sets the pathname to the program which is used
|
|
to update the NFS client cache entries.
|
|
|
|
nfs.cache_getent_timeout=
|
|
[NFS] sets the timeout after which an attempt to
|
|
update a cache entry is deemed to have failed.
|
|
|
|
nfs.idmap_cache_timeout=
|
|
[NFS] set the maximum lifetime for idmapper cache
|
|
entries.
|
|
|
|
nfs.enable_ino64=
|
|
[NFS] enable 64-bit inode numbers.
|
|
If zero, the NFS client will fake up a 32-bit inode
|
|
number for the readdir() and stat() syscalls instead
|
|
of returning the full 64-bit number.
|
|
The default is to return 64-bit inode numbers.
|
|
|
|
nfs.max_session_slots=
|
|
[NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session slots
|
|
the client will attempt to negotiate with the server.
|
|
This limits the number of simultaneous RPC requests
|
|
that the client can send to the NFSv4.1 server.
|
|
Note that there is little point in setting this
|
|
value higher than the max_tcp_slot_table_limit.
|
|
|
|
nfs.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
|
|
[NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', this option
|
|
ensures that both the RPC level authentication
|
|
scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use
|
|
numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the
|
|
'sec=sys' security flavour. In effect it is
|
|
disabling idmapping, which can make migration from
|
|
legacy NFSv2/v3 systems to NFSv4 easier.
|
|
Servers that do not support this mode of operation
|
|
will be autodetected by the client, and it will fall
|
|
back to using the idmapper.
|
|
To turn off this behaviour, set the value to '0'.
|
|
|
|
nfs.send_implementation_id =
|
|
[NFSv4.1] Send client implementation identification
|
|
information in exchange_id requests.
|
|
If zero, no implementation identification information
|
|
will be sent.
|
|
The default is to send the implementation identification
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
nfsd.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
|
|
[NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', the NFSv4
|
|
server will return only numeric uids and gids to
|
|
clients using auth_sys, and will accept numeric uids
|
|
and gids from such clients. This is intended to ease
|
|
migration from NFSv2/v3.
|
|
|
|
objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog=
|
|
[NFS] [OBJLAYOUT] sets the pathname to the program which
|
|
is used to automatically discover and login into new
|
|
osd-targets. Please see:
|
|
Documentation/filesystems/pnfs.txt for more explanations
|
|
|
|
nmi_debug= [KNL,AVR32,SH] Specify one or more actions to take
|
|
when a NMI is triggered.
|
|
Format: [state][,regs][,debounce][,die]
|
|
|
|
nmi_watchdog= [KNL,BUGS=X86] Debugging features for SMP kernels
|
|
Format: [panic,][nopanic,][num]
|
|
Valid num: 0
|
|
0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
|
|
When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
|
|
timeout occurs (or 'nopanic' to override the opposite
|
|
default).
|
|
This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
|
|
need the box quickly up again.
|
|
|
|
netpoll.carrier_timeout=
|
|
[NET] Specifies amount of time (in seconds) that
|
|
netpoll should wait for a carrier. By default netpoll
|
|
waits 4 seconds.

no_console_suspend
|
|
[HW] Never suspend the console
|
|
Disable suspending of consoles during suspend and
|
|
hibernate operations. Once disabled, debugging
|
|
messages can reach various consoles while the rest
|
|
of the system is being put to sleep (ie, while
|
|
debugging driver suspend/resume hooks). This may
|
|
not work reliably with all consoles, but is known
|
|
to work with serial and VGA consoles.
|
|
To facilitate more flexible debugging, we also add
|
|
console_suspend, a printk module parameter to control
|
|
it. Users could use console_suspend (usually
|
|
/sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend) to
|
|
turn on/off it dynamically.
|
|
|
|
noaliencache [MM, NUMA, SLAB] Disables the allocation of alien

|
|
legacy floating-point registers on task switch.
|
|
|
|
noxsave [BUGS=X86] Disables x86 extended register state save
|
|
and restore using xsave. The kernel will fallback to
|
|
enabling legacy floating-point and sse state.
|
|
|
|
nohlt [BUGS=ARM,SH] Tells the kernel that the sleep(SH) or
|
|
wfi(ARM) instruction doesn't work correctly and not to
|
|
use it. This is also useful when using JTAG debugger.
|
|
|
|
no-hlt [BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel that the hlt
|
|
instruction doesn't work correctly and not to
|
|
use it.
|
|
|
|
no_file_caps Tells the kernel not to honor file capabilities. The
|
|
only way then for a file to be executed with privilege
|
|
is to be setuid root or executed by root.
|
|
|
|
nohalt [IA-64] Tells the kernel not to use the power saving
|
|
function PAL_HALT_LIGHT when idle. This increases
|
|
power-consumption. On the positive side, it reduces
|
|
interrupt wake-up latency, which may improve performance
|
|
in certain environments such as networked servers or
|
|
real-time systems.

|
|
SAL PALO.
|
|
|
|
nr_cpus= [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
|
|
could support. nr_cpus=n : n >= 1 limits the kernel to

info.
|
|
|
|
olpc_ec_timeout= [OLPC] ms delay when issuing EC commands
|
|
Rather than timing out after 20 ms if an EC
|
|
command is not properly ACKed, override the length
|
|
of the timeout. We have interrupts disabled while
|
|
waiting for the ACK, so if this is set too high
|
|
interrupts *may* be lost!
|
|
|
|
omap_mux= [OMAP] Override bootloader pin multiplexing.
|
|
Format: <mux_mode0.mode_name=value>...

|
|
|
|
parport= [HW,PPT] Specify parallel ports. 0 disables.
|
|
Format: { 0 | auto | 0xBBB[,IRQ[,DMA]] }
|
|
Use 'auto' to force the driver to use any
|
|
IRQ/DMA settings detected (the default is to
|
|
ignore detected IRQ/DMA settings because of
|
|
possible conflicts). You can specify the base
|
|
address, IRQ, and DMA settings; IRQ and DMA
|
|
should be numbers, or 'auto' (for using detected
|
|
settings on that particular port), or 'nofifo'
|
|
(to avoid using a FIFO even if it is detected).
|
|
Parallel ports are assigned in the order they
|
|
are specified on the command line, starting
|
|
with parport0.
|
|
|
|
parport_init_mode= [HW,PPT]
|
|
Configure VIA parallel port to operate in
|
|
a specific mode. This is necessary on Pegasos

|
|
|
pci=option[,option...] [PCI] various PCI subsystem options:
|
|
earlydump [X86] dump PCI config space before the kernel
|
|
changes anything
|
|
off [X86] don't probe for the PCI bus
|
|
bios [X86-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
|
|
the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
|
|
has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
|
|
nobios [X86-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
|
|
hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
|
|
if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
|
|
suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
|
|
conf1 [X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
|
|
Mechanism 1.
|
|
conf2 [X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
|
|
Mechanism 2.
|
|
noaer [PCIE] If the PCIEAER kernel config parameter is
|
|
enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
|
|
disable the use of PCIE advanced error reporting.
|
|
nodomains [PCI] Disable support for multiple PCI
|
|
root domains (aka PCI segments, in ACPI-speak).
|
|
nommconf [X86] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
|
|
Configuration
|
|
check_enable_amd_mmconf [X86] check for and enable
|
|
properly configured MMIO access to PCI
|
|
config space on AMD family 10h CPU
|
|
nomsi [MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
|
|
enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
|
|
disable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.
|
|
noioapicquirk [APIC] Disable all boot interrupt quirks.
|
|
Safety option to keep boot IRQs enabled. This
|
|
should never be necessary.
|
|
ioapicreroute [APIC] Enable rerouting of boot IRQs to the
|
|
primary IO-APIC for bridges that cannot disable
|
|
boot IRQs. This fixes a source of spurious IRQs
|
|
when the system masks IRQs.
|
|
noioapicreroute [APIC] Disable workaround that uses the
|
|
boot IRQ equivalent of an IRQ that connects to
|
|
a chipset where boot IRQs cannot be disabled.
|
|
The opposite of ioapicreroute.
|
|
biosirq [X86-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
|
|
routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
|
|
on several machines and they hang the machine
|
|
when used, but on other computers it's the only
|
|
way to get the interrupt routing table. Try
|
|
this option if the kernel is unable to allocate
|
|
IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your
|
|
motherboard.
|
|
rom [X86] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
|
|
Use with caution as certain devices share
|
|
address decoders between ROMs and other
|
|
resources.
|
|
norom [X86] Do not assign address space to
|
|
expansion ROMs that do not already have
|
|
BIOS assigned address ranges.
|
|
nobar [X86] Do not assign address space to the
|
|
BARs that weren't assigned by the BIOS.
|
|
irqmask=0xMMMM [X86] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be
|
|
assigned automatically to PCI devices. You can
|
|
make the kernel exclude IRQs of your ISA cards
|
|
this way.
|
|
pirqaddr=0xAAAAA [X86] Specify the physical address
|
|
of the PIRQ table (normally generated
|
|
by the BIOS) if it is outside the
|
|
F0000h-100000h range.
|
|
lastbus=N [X86] Scan all buses thru bus #N. Can be
|
|
useful if the kernel is unable to find your
|
|
secondary buses and you want to tell it
|
|
explicitly which ones they are.
|
|
assign-busses [X86] Always assign all PCI bus
|
|
numbers ourselves, overriding
|
|
whatever the firmware may have done.
|
|
usepirqmask [X86] Honor the possible IRQ mask stored
|
|
in the BIOS $PIR table. This is needed on
|
|
some systems with broken BIOSes, notably
|
|
some HP Pavilion N5400 and Omnibook XE3
|
|
notebooks. This will have no effect if ACPI
|
|
IRQ routing is enabled.
|
|
noacpi [X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
|
|
or for PCI scanning.
|
|
use_crs [X86] Use PCI host bridge window information
|
|
from ACPI. On BIOSes from 2008 or later, this
|
|
is enabled by default. If you need to use this,
|
|
please report a bug.
|
|
nocrs [X86] Ignore PCI host bridge windows from ACPI.
|
|
If you need to use this, please report a bug.
|
|
routeirq Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
|
|
This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
|
|
so this option is a temporary workaround
|
|
for broken drivers that don't call it.
|
|
skip_isa_align [X86] do not align io start addr, so can
|
|
handle more pci cards
|
|
firmware [ARM] Do not re-enumerate the bus but instead
|
|
just use the configuration from the
|
|
bootloader. This is currently used on
|
|
IXP2000 systems where the bus has to be
|
|
configured a certain way for adjunct CPUs.
|
|
noearly [X86] Don't do any early type 1 scanning.
|
|
This might help on some broken boards which
|
|
machine check when some devices' config space
|
|
is read. But various workarounds are disabled
|
|
and some IOMMU drivers will not work.
|
|
bfsort Sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
|
|
This sorting is done to get a device
|
|
order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
|
|
nobfsort Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
|

ports for other uses may adjust the range that the
|
|
kernel's sunrpc client considers to be privileged
|
|
using these two parameters to set the minimum and
|

virtio_mmio.device=
|
|
[VMMIO] Memory mapped virtio (platform) device.
|
|
|
|
<size>@<baseaddr>:<irq>[:<id>]
|
|
where:
|
|
<size> := size (can use standard suffixes
|
|
like K, M and G)

<baseaddr> := physical base address
|
|
<irq> := interrupt number (as passed to
|
|
request_irq())

vga= [BOOT,X86-32] Select a particular video mode
|
|
See Documentation/x86/boot.txt and
|
|
Documentation/svga.txt.
|
|
Use vga=ask for menu.
|
|
This is actually a boot loader parameter; the value is
|
|
passed to the kernel using a special protocol.
|
|
|
|
vmalloc=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Forces the vmalloc area to have an exact
|
|
size of <nn>. This can be used to increase the
|
|
minimum size (128MB on x86). It can also be used to
|
|
decrease the size and leave more room for directly
|
|
mapped kernel RAM.
|
|
|
|
vmhalt= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after system halt.
|
|
Format: <command>

|
|
vmpanic= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after kernel panic.
|
|
Format: <command>
|
|
|
|
vmpoff= [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after power off.
|
|
Format: <command>
|
|
|
|
vsyscall= [X86-64]
|
|
Controls the behavior of vsyscalls (i.e. calls to
|
|
fixed addresses of 0xffffffffff600x00 from legacy
|
|
code). Most statically-linked binaries and older
|
|
versions of glibc use these calls. Because these
|
|
functions are at fixed addresses, they make nice
|
|
targets for exploits that can control RIP.
|
|
|
|
emulate [default] Vsyscalls turn into traps and are
|
|
emulated reasonably safely.
|
|
|
|
native Vsyscalls are native syscall instructions.
|
|
This is a little bit faster than trapping
|
|
and makes a few dynamic recompilers work
|
|
better than they would in emulation mode.
|
|
It also makes exploits much easier to write.
|
|
|
|
none Vsyscalls don't work at all. This makes
|
|
them quite hard to use for exploits but
|
|
might break your system.

vt.cur_default= [VT] Default cursor shape.
|
|
Format: 0xCCBBAA, where AA, BB, and CC are the same as

|
[VT]
|
|
Format=<0|1>

|
vt.global_cursor_default=
|
|
[VT]
|
|
Format=<-1|0|1>
|
|
Set system-wide default for whether a cursor
|
|
is shown on new VTs. Default is -1,
|
|
i.e. cursors will be created by default unless
|
|
overridden by individual drivers. 0 will hide
|
|
cursors, 1 will display them.
