clearcpuid=BITNUM [X86]
Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
- arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h for the valid bit
+ arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h for the valid bit
numbers. Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
ones should be.
ip= [IP_PNP]
See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+ irqaffinity= [SMP] Set the default irq affinity mask
+ 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>
+
irqfixup [HW]
When an interrupt is not handled search all handlers
for it. Intended to get systems with badly broken
keepinitrd [HW,ARM]
- kernelcore=nn[KMG] [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter
+ kernelcore= [KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC]
+ Format: nn[KMGTPE] | "mirror"
+ 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
use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
zone if it does not.
+ Instead of specifying the amount of memory (nn[KMGTPE]),
+ you can specify "mirror" option. In case "mirror"
+ option is specified, mirrored (reliable) memory is used
+ for non-movable allocations and remaining memory is used
+ for Movable pages. nn[KMGTPE] and "mirror" are exclusive,
+ so you can NOT specify nn[KMGTPE] and "mirror" at the same
+ time.
+
kgdbdbgp= [KGDB,HW] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]
The controller # is the number of the ehci usb debug
nointroute [IA-64]
+ noinvpcid [X86] Disable the INVPCID cpu feature.
+
nojitter [IA-64] Disables jitter checking for ITC timers.
no-kvmclock [X86,KVM] Disable paravirtualized KVM clock driver
we can turn it on.
on: enable the feature
+ page_poison= [KNL] Boot-time parameter changing the state of
+ poisoning on the buddy allocator.
+ off: turn off poisoning
+ on: turn on poisoning
+
panic= [KNL] Kernel behaviour on panic: delay <timeout>
timeout > 0: seconds before rebooting
timeout = 0: wait forever
Lazy RCU callbacks are those which RCU can
prove do nothing more than free memory.
+ rcuperf.gp_exp= [KNL]
+ Measure performance of expedited synchronous
+ grace-period primitives.
+
+ rcuperf.nreaders= [KNL]
+ Set number of RCU readers. The value -1 selects
+ N, where N is the number of CPUs. A value
+ "n" less than -1 selects N-n+1, where N is again
+ the number of CPUs. For example, -2 selects N
+ (the number of CPUs), -3 selects N+1, and so on.
+ A value of "n" less than or equal to -N selects
+ a single reader.
+
+ rcuperf.nwriters= [KNL]
+ Set number of RCU writers. The values operate
+ the same as for rcuperf.nreaders.
+ N, where N is the number of CPUs
+
+ rcuperf.perf_runnable= [BOOT]
+ Start rcuperf running at boot time.
+
+ rcuperf.shutdown= [KNL]
+ Shut the system down after performance tests
+ complete. This is useful for hands-off automated
+ testing.
+
+ rcuperf.perf_type= [KNL]
+ Specify the RCU implementation to test.
+
+ rcuperf.verbose= [KNL]
+ Enable additional printk() statements.
+
rcutorture.cbflood_inter_holdoff= [KNL]
Set holdoff time (jiffies) between successive
callback-flood tests.
sched_debug [KNL] Enables verbose scheduler debug messages.
+ schedstats= [KNL,X86] Enable or disable scheduled statistics.
+ Allowed values are enable and disable. This feature
+ incurs a small amount of overhead in the scheduler
+ but is useful for debugging and performance tuning.
+
skew_tick= [KNL] Offset the periodic timer tick per cpu to mitigate
xtime_lock contention on larger systems, and/or RCU lock
contention on all systems with CONFIG_MAXSMP set.
