AMD64 Specific Boot Options
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
There are many others (usually documented in driver documentation), but
|
|
only the AMD64 specific ones are listed here.
|
|
|
|
Machine check
|
|
=============
|
|
Please see Documentation/x86/x86_64/machinecheck.rst for sysfs runtime tunables.
|
|
|
|
mce=off
|
|
Disable machine check
|
|
mce=no_cmci
|
|
Disable CMCI(Corrected Machine Check Interrupt) that
|
|
Intel processor supports. Usually this disablement is
|
|
not recommended, but it might be handy if your hardware
|
|
is misbehaving.
|
|
Note that you'll get more problems without CMCI than with
|
|
due to the shared banks, i.e. you might get duplicated
|
|
error logs.
|
|
mce=dont_log_ce
|
|
Don't make logs for corrected errors. All events reported
|
|
as corrected are silently cleared by OS.
|
|
This option will be useful if you have no interest in any
|
|
of corrected errors.
|
|
mce=ignore_ce
|
|
Disable features for corrected errors, e.g. polling timer
|
|
and CMCI. All events reported as corrected are not cleared
|
|
by OS and remained in its error banks.
|
|
Usually this disablement is not recommended, however if
|
|
there is an agent checking/clearing corrected errors
|
|
(e.g. BIOS or hardware monitoring applications), conflicting
|
|
with OS's error handling, and you cannot deactivate the agent,
|
|
then this option will be a help.
|
|
mce=no_lmce
|
|
Do not opt-in to Local MCE delivery. Use legacy method
|
|
to broadcast MCEs.
|
|
mce=bootlog
|
|
Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
|
|
Disabled by default on AMD Fam10h and older because some BIOS
|
|
leave bogus ones.
|
|
If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
|
|
to make sure you log even machine check events that result
|
|
in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
|
|
mce=nobootlog
|
|
Disable boot machine check logging.
|
|
mce=tolerancelevel[,monarchtimeout] (number,number)
|
|
tolerance levels:
|
|
0: always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
|
|
1: panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
|
|
2: SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
|
|
3: never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
|
|
Default is 1
|
|
Can be also set using sysfs which is preferable.
|
|
monarchtimeout:
|
|
Sets the time in us to wait for other CPUs on machine checks. 0
|
|
to disable.
|
|
mce=bios_cmci_threshold
|
|
Don't overwrite the bios-set CMCI threshold. This boot option
|
|
prevents Linux from overwriting the CMCI threshold set by the
|
|
bios. Without this option, Linux always sets the CMCI
|
|
threshold to 1. Enabling this may make memory predictive failure
|
|
analysis less effective if the bios sets thresholds for memory
|
|
errors since we will not see details for all errors.
|
|
mce=recovery
|
|
Force-enable recoverable machine check code paths
|
|
|
|
nomce (for compatibility with i386)
|
|
same as mce=off
|
|
|
|
Everything else is in sysfs now.
|
|
|
|
APICs
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
apic
|
|
Use IO-APIC. Default
|
|
|
|
noapic
|
|
Don't use the IO-APIC.
|
|
|
|
disableapic
|
|
Don't use the local APIC
|
|
|
|
nolapic
|
|
Don't use the local APIC (alias for i386 compatibility)
|
|
|
|
pirq=...
|
|
See Documentation/x86/i386/IO-APIC.rst
|
|
|
|
noapictimer
|
|
Don't set up the APIC timer
|
|
|
|
no_timer_check
|
|
Don't check the IO-APIC timer. This can work around
|
|
problems with incorrect timer initialization on some boards.
|
|
|
|
apicpmtimer
|
|
Do APIC timer calibration using the pmtimer. Implies
|
|
apicmaintimer. Useful when your PIT timer is totally broken.
|
|
|
|
Timing
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
notsc
|
|
Deprecated, use tsc=unstable instead.
|
|
|
|
nohpet
|
|
Don't use the HPET timer.
|
|
|
|
Idle loop
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
idle=poll
|
|
Don't do power saving in the idle loop using HLT, but poll for rescheduling
|
|
event. This will make the CPUs eat a lot more power, but may be useful
|
|
to get slightly better performance in multiprocessor benchmarks. It also
|
|
makes some profiling using performance counters more accurate.
|
|
Please note that on systems with MONITOR/MWAIT support (like Intel EM64T
|
|
CPUs) this option has no performance advantage over the normal idle loop.
|
|
It may also interact badly with hyperthreading.
|
|
|
|
Rebooting
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
reboot=b[ios] | t[riple] | k[bd] | a[cpi] | e[fi] [, [w]arm | [c]old]
|
|
bios
|
|
Use the CPU reboot vector for warm reset
|
|
warm
|
|
Don't set the cold reboot flag
|
|
cold
|
|
Set the cold reboot flag
|
|
triple
|
|
Force a triple fault (init)
|
|
kbd
|
|
Use the keyboard controller. cold reset (default)
|
|
acpi
|
|
Use the ACPI RESET_REG in the FADT. If ACPI is not configured or
|
|
the ACPI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset
|
|
using the keyboard controller.
|
|
efi
|
|
Use efi reset_system runtime service. If EFI is not configured or
|
|
the EFI reset does not work, the reboot path attempts the reset using
|
|
the keyboard controller.
|
|
|
|
Using warm reset will be much faster especially on big memory
|
|
systems because the BIOS will not go through the memory check.
|
|
Disadvantage is that not all hardware will be completely reinitialized
|
|
on reboot so there may be boot problems on some systems.
|
|
|
|
reboot=force
|
|
Don't stop other CPUs on reboot. This can make reboot more reliable
|
|
in some cases.
|
|
|
|
Non Executable Mappings
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
noexec=on|off
|

|
|
Disable
|
|
|
|
NUMA
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
numa=off
|
|
Only set up a single NUMA node spanning all memory.
|
|
|
|
numa=noacpi
|
|
Don't parse the SRAT table for NUMA setup
|
|
|
|
numa=fake=<size>[MG]
|
|
If given as a memory unit, fills all system RAM with nodes of
|
|
size interleaved over physical nodes.
|
|
|
|
numa=fake=<N>
|
|
If given as an integer, fills all system RAM with N fake nodes
|
|
interleaved over physical nodes.
|
|
|
|
numa=fake=<N>U
|
|
If given as an integer followed by 'U', it will divide each
|
|
physical node into N emulated nodes.
|
|
|
|
ACPI
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
acpi=off
|
|
Don't enable ACPI
|
|
acpi=ht
|
|
Use ACPI boot table parsing, but don't enable ACPI interpreter
|
|
acpi=force

Set up ACPI SCI interrupt.
|
|
acpi=noirq
|
|
Don't route interrupts
|
|
acpi=nocmcff
|
|
Disable firmware first mode for corrected errors. This
|
|
disables parsing the HEST CMC error source to check if
|
|
firmware has set the FF flag. This may result in
|
|
duplicate corrected error reports.
|
|
|
|
PCI
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
pci=off
|
|
Don't use PCI

|
|
pci=rom
|
|

pci=lastbus=NUMBER
|
|
Scan up to NUMBER busses, no matter what the mptable says.
|
|
pci=noacpi
|
|
Don't use ACPI to set up PCI interrupt routing.
|
|
|
|
IOMMU (input/output memory management unit)
|
|
===========================================
|
|
Multiple x86-64 PCI-DMA mapping implementations exist, for example:
|
|
|
|
1. <kernel/dma/direct.c>: use no hardware/software IOMMU at all
|
|
(e.g. because you have < 3 GB memory).
|
|
Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: Disabling IOMMU"
|
|
|
|
2. <arch/x86/kernel/amd_gart_64.c>: AMD GART based hardware IOMMU.
|
|
Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: using GART IOMMU"
|
|
|
|
3. <arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-swiotlb.c> : Software IOMMU implementation. Used
|
|
e.g. if there is no hardware IOMMU in the system and it is need because
|
|
you have >3GB memory or told the kernel to us it (iommu=soft))
|
|
Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering
|
|
for IO (SWIOTLB)"
|
|
|
|
4. <arch/x86_64/pci-calgary.c> : IBM Calgary hardware IOMMU. Used in IBM
|
|
pSeries and xSeries servers. This hardware IOMMU supports DMA address
|
|
mapping with memory protection, etc.

|
|
|
off
|
|
Don't initialize and use any kind of IOMMU.
|
|
noforce

Force the use of the hardware IOMMU even when it is
|
|
not actually needed (e.g. because < 3 GB memory).
|
|
soft
|
|
Use software bounce buffering (SWIOTLB) (default for
|
|
Intel machines). This can be used to prevent the usage
|
|
of an available hardware IOMMU.
|
|
|
|
iommu options only relevant to the AMD GART hardware IOMMU:
|
|
|
|
<size>
|
|
Set the size of the remapping area in bytes.
|
|
allowed
|
|
Overwrite iommu off workarounds for specific chipsets.
|
|
fullflush
|
|
Flush IOMMU on each allocation (default).
|
|
nofullflush
|
|
Don't use IOMMU fullflush.
|
|
memaper[=<order>]
|
|
Allocate an own aperture over RAM with size 32MB<<order.
|
|
(default: order=1, i.e. 64MB)
|
|
merge
|
|
Do scatter-gather (SG) merging. Implies "force" (experimental).
|
|
nomerge
|
|
Don't do scatter-gather (SG) merging.
|
|
noaperture
|
|
Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.
|
|
noagp
|
|
Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
|
|
panic
|
|
Always panic when IOMMU overflows.
|
|
calgary
|
|
Use the Calgary IOMMU if it is available
|
|
|
|
iommu options only relevant to the software bounce buffering (SWIOTLB) IOMMU
|
|
implementation:
|
|
|
|
swiotlb=<pages>[,force]
|
|
<pages>
|
|
Prereserve that many 128K pages for the software IO bounce buffering.
|
|
force
|
|
Force all IO through the software TLB.
|
|
|
|
Settings for the IBM Calgary hardware IOMMU currently found in IBM
|
|
pSeries and xSeries machines
|
|
|
|
calgary=[64k,128k,256k,512k,1M,2M,4M,8M]
|
|
Set the size of each PCI slot's translation table when using the
|
|
Calgary IOMMU. This is the size of the translation table itself
|
|
in main memory. The smallest table, 64k, covers an IO space of
|
|
32MB; the largest, 8MB table, can cover an IO space of 4GB.
|
|
Normally the kernel will make the right choice by itself.
|
|
calgary=[translate_empty_slots]
|
|
Enable translation even on slots that have no devices attached to
|
|
them, in case a device will be hotplugged in the future.
|
|
calgary=[disable=<PCI bus number>]
|
|
Disable translation on a given PHB. For
|
|
example, the built-in graphics adapter resides on the first bridge
|
|
(PCI bus number 0); if translation (isolation) is enabled on this
|
|
bridge, X servers that access the hardware directly from user
|
|
space might stop working. Use this option if you have devices that
|
|
are accessed from userspace directly on some PCI host bridge.
|
|
panic
|
|
Always panic when IOMMU overflows
|
|
