This information is 9 used for optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel 10 that can run on all supported x86 CPU types (albeit not 11 optimally fast), you can specify "486" here. 12 13 Note that the 386 is no longer supported, this includes 14 AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI 486DLC/DLC2, 15 UMC 486SX-S and the NexGen Nx586. 16 17 The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than 18 the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on 19 a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486. 20 21 Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed: 22 - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or 23 SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S. 24 - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC 25 (time stamp counter) register. 26 - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium. 27 - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX. 28 - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro. 29 - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron. 30 - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron. 31 - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron. 32 - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D). 33 - "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird). 34 - "Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8" for all K8 and newer AMD CPUs. 35 - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series. 36 - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series. 37 - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip. 38 - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities. 39 - "AMD Elan" for the 32-bit AMD Elan embedded CPU. 40 - "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX). 41 - "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors. 42 - "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3. 43 - "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above). 44 - "VIA C7" for VIA C7. 45 - "Intel P4" for the Pentium 4/Netburst microarchitecture. 46 - "Core 2/newer Xeon" for all core2 and newer Intel CPUs. 47 - "Intel Atom" for the Atom-microarchitecture CPUs. 48 - "Generic-x86-64" for a kernel which runs on any x86-64 CPU. 49 50 See each option's help text for additional details. If you don't know 51 what to do, choose "486". 52 53 config M486SX 54 bool "486SX" 55 depends on X86_32 56 help 57 Select this for an 486-class CPU without an FPU such as 58 AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5S. 59 60 config M486 61 bool "486DX" 62 depends on X86_32 63 help 64 Select this for an 486-class CPU such as AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 65 486DX/DX2/DX4 and UMC U5D. 66 67 config M586 68 bool "586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX" 69 depends on X86_32 70 help 71 Select this for an 586 or 686 series processor such as the AMD K5, 72 the Cyrix 5x86, 6x86 and 6x86MX. This choice does not 73 assume the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. 74 75 config M586TSC 76 bool "Pentium-Classic" 77 depends on X86_32 78 help 79 Select this for a Pentium Classic processor with the RDTSC (Read 80 Time Stamp Counter) instruction for benchmarking. 81 82 config M586MMX 83 bool "Pentium-MMX" 84 depends on X86_32 85 help 86 Select this for a Pentium with the MMX graphics/multimedia 87 extended instructions. 88 89 config M686 90 bool "Pentium-Pro" 91 depends on X86_32 92 help 93 Select this for Intel Pentium Pro chips.

Linux and GCC 209 treat this chip as a 586TSC with some extended instructions 210 and alignment requirements. Also enable out of order memory 211 stores for this CPU, which can increase performance of some 212 operations. 213 214 config MELAN 215 bool "AMD Elan" 216 depends on X86_32 217 help 218 Select this for an AMD Elan processor. 219 220 Do not use this option for K6/Athlon/Opteron processors! 221 222 config MGEODEGX1 223 bool "GeodeGX1" 224 depends on X86_32 225 help 226 Select this for a Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX) chip. 227 228 config MGEODE_LX 229 bool "Geode GX/LX" 230 depends on X86_32 231 help 232 Select this for AMD Geode GX and LX processors. 233 234 config MCYRIXIII 235 bool "CyrixIII/VIA-C3" 236 depends on X86_32 237 help 238 Select this for a Cyrix III or C3 chip. Presently Linux and GCC 239 treat this chip as a generic 586. Whilst the CPU is 686 class, 240 it lacks the cmov extension which gcc assumes is present when 241 generating 686 code. 242 Note that Nehemiah (Model 9) and above will not boot with this 243 kernel due to them lacking the 3DNow! instructions used in earlier 244 incarnations of the CPU. 245 246 config MVIAC3_2 247 bool "VIA C3-2 (Nehemiah)" 248 depends on X86_32 249 help 250 Select this for a VIA C3 "Nehemiah". Selecting this enables usage 251 of SSE and tells gcc to treat the CPU as a 686. 252 Note, this kernel will not boot on older (pre model 9) C3s. 253 254 config MVIAC7 255 bool "VIA C7" 256 depends on X86_32 257 help 258 Select this for a VIA C7. Selecting this uses the correct cache 259 shift and tells gcc to treat the CPU as a 686. 260 261 config MPSC 262 bool "Intel P4 / older Netburst based Xeon" 263 depends on X86_64 264 help 265 Optimize for Intel Pentium 4, Pentium D and older Nocona/Dempsey 266 Xeon CPUs with Intel 64bit which is compatible with x86-64. 267 Note that the latest Xeons (Xeon 51xx and 53xx) are not based on the 268 Netburst core and shouldn't use this option. You can distinguish them 269 using the cpu family field 270 in /proc/cpuinfo. Family 15 is an older Xeon, Family 6 a newer one. 271 272 config MCORE2 273 bool "Core 2/newer Xeon" 274 help 275 276 Select this for Intel Core 2 and newer Core 2 Xeons (Xeon 51xx and 277 53xx) CPUs. You can distinguish newer from older Xeons by the CPU 278 family in /proc/cpuinfo. Newer ones have 6 and older ones 15 279 (not a typo) 280 281 config MATOM 282 bool "Intel Atom" 283 help 284 285 Select this for the Intel Atom platform. Intel Atom CPUs have an 286 in-order pipelining architecture and thus can benefit from 287 accordingly optimized code. Use a recent GCC with specific Atom 288 support in order to fully benefit from selecting this option. 289 290 config GENERIC_CPU 291 bool "Generic-x86-64" 292 depends on X86_64 293 help 294 Generic x86-64 CPU. 295 Run equally well on all x86-64 CPUs. 296 297 endchoice 298 299 config X86_GENERIC 300 bool "Generic x86 support" 301 depends on X86_32 302 help 303 Instead of just including optimizations for the selected 304 x86 variant (e.g. PII, Crusoe or Athlon), include some more 305 generic optimizations as well.
