6 bool "ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support"
7 depends on !IA64_HP_SIM
13 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
14 Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
15 and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
16 management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
19 Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
20 legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
21 the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
22 MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
23 Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
24 are configured, ACPI is used.
26 The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
27 <https://01.org/linux-acpi>
29 Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
30 Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
34 ACPI is an open industry specification co-developed by
35 Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba.
36 The specification is available at:
37 <http://www.acpi.info>
43 depends on SUSPEND || HIBERNATION
46 config ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS
47 tristate "EC read/write access through /sys/kernel/debug/ec"
50 Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface
52 Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded
53 Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then
54 have to power off your system, and remove the laptop battery for
56 An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
57 sensor values like battery state and temperature.
58 The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
59 tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
61 Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
62 and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
70 This driver supports the AC Adapter object, which indicates
71 whether a system is on AC or not. If you have a system that can
72 switch between A/C and battery, say Y.
74 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
75 the module will be called ac.
83 This driver adds support for battery information through
84 /proc/acpi/battery. If you have a mobile system with a battery,
87 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
88 the module will be called battery.
95 This driver handles events on the power, sleep, and lid buttons.
96 A daemon reads events from input devices or via netlink and
97 performs user-defined actions such as shutting down the system.
98 This is necessary for software-controlled poweroff.
100 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
101 the module will be called button.
105 depends on X86 && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
109 This driver implements the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters
110 for integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in
111 ACPI 2.0 Specification, Appendix B. This supports basic operations
112 such as defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information,
113 and setting up a video output.
115 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
116 the module will be called video.
123 This driver supports ACPI fan devices, allowing user-mode
124 applications to perform basic fan control (on, off, status).
126 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
127 the module will be called fan.
132 This driver supports ACPI-controlled docking stations and removable
133 drive bays such as the IBM Ultrabay and the Dell Module Bay.
135 config ACPI_PROCESSOR
141 This driver installs ACPI as the idle handler for Linux and uses
142 ACPI C2 and C3 processor states to save power on systems that
143 support it. It is required by several flavors of cpufreq
144 performance-state drivers.
146 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
147 the module will be called processor.
154 This driver enables the ACPI to access the BMC controller. And it
155 uses the IPMI request/response message to communicate with BMC
156 controller, which can be found on on the server.
158 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
159 the module will be called as acpi_ipmi.
161 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU
163 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR && HOTPLUG_CPU
164 select ACPI_CONTAINER
167 config ACPI_PROCESSOR_AGGREGATOR
168 tristate "Processor Aggregator"
169 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
172 ACPI 4.0 defines processor Aggregator, which enables OS to perform
173 specific processor configuration and control that applies to all
174 processors in the platform. Currently only logical processor idling
175 is defined, which is to reduce power consumption. This driver
176 supports the new device.
179 tristate "Thermal Zone"
180 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
184 This driver supports ACPI thermal zones. Most mobile and
185 some desktop systems support ACPI thermal zones. It is HIGHLY
186 recommended that this option be enabled, as your processor(s)
187 may be damaged without it.
189 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
190 the module will be called thermal.
195 depends on (X86 || IA64)
196 default y if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
198 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
199 string "Custom DSDT Table file to include"
201 depends on !STANDALONE
203 This option supports a custom DSDT by linking it into the kernel.
204 See Documentation/acpi/dsdt-override.txt
206 Enter the full path name to the file which includes the AmlCode
209 If unsure, don't enter a file name.
211 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT
213 default ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE != ""
215 config ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE
216 bool "ACPI tables override via initrd"
217 depends on BLK_DEV_INITRD && X86
220 This option provides functionality to override arbitrary ACPI tables
221 via initrd. No functional change if no ACPI tables are passed via
222 initrd, therefore it's safe to say Y.
223 See Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt for details
226 bool "Debug Statements"
229 The ACPI subsystem can produce debug output. Saying Y enables this
230 output and increases the kernel size by around 50K.
232 Use the acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level kernel command-line
233 parameters documented in Documentation/acpi/debug.txt and
234 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to control the type and
235 amount of debug output.
238 bool "PCI slot detection driver"
242 This driver creates entries in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ for all PCI
243 slots in the system. This can help correlate PCI bus addresses,
244 i.e., segment/bus/device/function tuples, with physical slots in
245 the system. If you are unsure, say N.
248 bool "Power Management Timer Support" if EXPERT
252 The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
253 in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
255 This timing source is not affected by power management features
256 like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
257 voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
260 You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
261 systems require this timer.
263 config ACPI_CONTAINER
264 bool "Container and Module Devices"
265 default (ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY || ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU)
267 This driver supports ACPI Container and Module devices (IDs
268 ACPI0004, PNP0A05, and PNP0A06).
270 This helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory.
272 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
273 the module will be called container.
275 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY
276 bool "Memory Hotplug"
277 depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG
279 This driver supports ACPI memory hotplug. The driver
280 fields notifications on ACPI memory devices (PNP0C80),
281 which represent memory ranges that may be onlined or
282 offlined during runtime.
284 If your hardware and firmware do not support adding or
285 removing memory devices at runtime, you need not enable
288 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
289 the module will be called acpi_memhotplug.
292 tristate "Smart Battery System"
296 This driver supports the Smart Battery System, another
297 type of access to battery information, found on some laptops.
299 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
300 the modules will be called sbs and sbshc.
303 tristate "Hardware Error Device"
305 This driver supports the Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33),
306 which is used to report some hardware errors notified via
307 SCI, mainly the corrected errors.
309 config ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD
310 tristate "Allow ACPI methods to be inserted/replaced at run time"
314 This debug facility allows ACPI AML methods to be inserted and/or
315 replaced without rebooting the system. For details refer to:
316 Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt.
318 NOTE: This option is security sensitive, because it allows arbitrary
319 kernel memory to be written to by root (uid=0) users, allowing them
320 to bypass certain security measures (e.g. if root is not allowed to
321 load additional kernel modules after boot, this feature may be used
322 to override that restriction).
325 bool "Boottime Graphics Resource Table support"
326 depends on EFI && X86
328 This driver adds support for exposing the ACPI Boottime Graphics
329 Resource Table, which allows the operating system to obtain
330 data from the firmware boot splash. It will appear under
331 /sys/firmware/acpi/bgrt/ .
333 config ACPI_REDUCED_HARDWARE_ONLY
334 bool "Hardware-reduced ACPI support only" if EXPERT
338 This config item changes the way the ACPI code is built. When this
339 option is selected, the kernel will use a specialized version of
340 ACPICA that ONLY supports the ACPI "reduced hardware" mode. The
341 resulting kernel will be smaller but it will also be restricted to
342 running in ACPI reduced hardware mode ONLY.
344 If you are unsure what to do, do not enable this option.
346 source "drivers/acpi/apei/Kconfig"
349 tristate "Extended Error Log support"
350 depends on X86_MCE && X86_LOCAL_APIC
354 Certain usages such as Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) require
355 more information about the error than what can be described in
356 processor machine check banks. Most server processors log
357 additional information about the error in processor uncore
358 registers. Since the addresses and layout of these registers vary
359 widely from one processor to another, system software cannot
360 readily make use of them. To complicate matters further, some of
361 the additional error information cannot be constructed without
362 detailed knowledge about platform topology.
364 Enhanced MCA Logging allows firmware to provide additional error
365 information to system software, synchronous with MCE or CMCI. This
366 driver adds support for that functionality.
