default y
help
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
kernel by about 70K.
Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
are configured, ACPI is used.
The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
ACPI CA, see:
ACPI is an open industry specification co-developed by
Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba.
The specification is available at:

config ACPI_SLEEP
bool
depends on SUSPEND || HIBERNATION
default y
config ACPI_PROCFS
bool "Deprecated /proc/acpi files"
depends on PROC_FS
help
For backwards compatibility, this option allows
deprecated /proc/acpi/ files to exist, even when
they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ files
and functions which do not yet exist in /sys.
Say N to delete /proc/acpi/ files that have moved to /sys/
config ACPI_PROCFS_POWER
bool "Deprecated power /proc/acpi directories"
depends on PROC_FS
help
For backwards compatibility, this option allows
deprecated power /proc/acpi/ directories to exist, even when
they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
The deprecated directories (and their replacements) include:
/proc/acpi/battery/* (/sys/class/power_supply/*)
/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/* (sys/class/power_supply/*)
This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ directories
and functions, which do not yet exist in /sys
This option, together with the proc directories, will be
deleted in 2.6.39.
Say N to delete power /proc/acpi/ directories that have moved to /sys/
config ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS
tristate "EC read/write access through /sys/kernel/debug/ec"
default n
help
Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface
Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded
Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then
have to power off your system, and remove the laptop battery for
some seconds.
An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
sensor values like battery state and temperature.
The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
code being involved.
Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
config ACPI_PROC_EVENT
bool "Deprecated /proc/acpi/event support"
depends on PROC_FS
default y
help
A user-space daemon, acpid, typically reads /proc/acpi/event
and handles all ACPI-generated events.
These events are now delivered to user-space either
via the input layer or as netlink events.
This build option enables the old code for legacy
user-space implementation. After some time, this will
be moved under CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS, and then deleted.
Say Y here to retain the old behaviour. Say N if your
user-space is newer than kernel 2.6.23 (September 2007).
config ACPI_AC
tristate "AC Adapter"
depends on X86
select POWER_SUPPLY
default y
help
This driver supports the AC Adapter object, which indicates
whether a system is on AC or not. If you have a system that can
switch between A/C and battery, say Y.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called ac.
config ACPI_BATTERY
tristate "Battery"
depends on X86
select POWER_SUPPLY
default y
help
This driver adds support for battery information through
/proc/acpi/battery. If you have a mobile system with a battery,
say Y.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called battery.
config ACPI_BUTTON
tristate "Button"
depends on INPUT
default y
help
This driver handles events on the power, sleep, and lid buttons.
A daemon reads /proc/acpi/event and perform user-defined actions
such as shutting down the system. This is necessary for
software-controlled poweroff.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called button.
config ACPI_VIDEO
tristate "Video"
depends on X86 && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE && VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL
depends on INPUT
select THERMAL
help
This driver implements the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters
for integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in
ACPI 2.0 Specification, Appendix B. This supports basic operations
such as defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information,
and setting up a video output.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called video.
config ACPI_FAN
tristate "Fan"
select THERMAL
default y
help
This driver supports ACPI fan devices, allowing user-mode
applications to perform basic fan control (on, off, status).
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called fan.
config ACPI_DOCK
bool "Dock"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL
help
This driver supports ACPI-controlled docking stations and removable
drive bays such as the IBM Ultrabay and the Dell Module Bay.
config ACPI_PROCESSOR
tristate "Processor"
select THERMAL
select CPU_IDLE
default y
help
This driver installs ACPI as the idle handler for Linux and uses
ACPI C2 and C3 processor states to save power on systems that
support it. It is required by several flavors of cpufreq
performance-state drivers.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called processor.
config ACPI_IPMI
tristate "IPMI"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && IPMI_SI && IPMI_HANDLER
default n
help
This driver enables the ACPI to access the BMC controller. And it
uses the IPMI request/response message to communicate with BMC
controller, which can be found on on the server.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called as acpi_ipmi.
config ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU
bool
depends on EXPERIMENTAL && ACPI_PROCESSOR && HOTPLUG_CPU
select ACPI_CONTAINER
default y
config ACPI_PROCESSOR_AGGREGATOR
tristate "Processor Aggregator"
depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
depends on EXPERIMENTAL
depends on X86
help
ACPI 4.0 defines processor Aggregator, which enables OS to perform
specific processor configuration and control that applies to all
processors in the platform. Currently only logical processor idling
is defined, which is to reduce power consumption. This driver
supports the new device.
config ACPI_THERMAL
tristate "Thermal Zone"
depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
select THERMAL
default y
help
This driver supports ACPI thermal zones. Most mobile and
some desktop systems support ACPI thermal zones. It is HIGHLY
recommended that this option be enabled, as your processor(s)
may be damaged without it.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called thermal.
config ACPI_NUMA

default y if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
string "Custom DSDT Table file to include"
default ""
depends on !STANDALONE
help
This option supports a custom DSDT by linking it into the kernel.
See Documentation/acpi/dsdt-override.txt
Enter the full path name to the file which includes the AmlCode
declaration.
If unsure, don't enter a file name.
config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT
bool
default ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE != ""
config ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE
bool "ACPI tables can be passed via uncompressed cpio in initrd"
default n
help
This option provides functionality to override arbitrary ACPI tables
via initrd. No functional change if no ACPI tables are passed via
initrd, therefore it's safe to say Y.
See Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt for details
config ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR
int "Disable ACPI for systems before Jan 1st this year" if X86_32
default 0
help
Enter a 4-digit year, e.g., 2001, to disable ACPI by default
on platforms with DMI BIOS date before January 1st that year.
"acpi=force" can be used to override this mechanism.
Enter 0 to disable this mechanism and allow ACPI to
run by default no matter what the year. (default)
config ACPI_DEBUG
bool "Debug Statements"
default n
help
The ACPI subsystem can produce debug output. Saying Y enables this
output and increases the kernel size by around 50K.
Use the acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level kernel command-line
parameters documented in Documentation/acpi/debug.txt and
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to control the type and
amount of debug output.
config ACPI_DEBUG_FUNC_TRACE
bool "Additionally enable ACPI function tracing"
default n
depends on ACPI_DEBUG
help
ACPI Debug Statements slow down ACPI processing. Function trace
is about half of the penalty and is rarely useful.
config ACPI_PCI_SLOT
tristate "PCI slot detection driver"
depends on SYSFS
default n
help
This driver creates entries in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ for all PCI
slots in the system. This can help correlate PCI bus addresses,
i.e., segment/bus/device/function tuples, with physical slots in
the system. If you are unsure, say N.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called pci_slot.
config X86_PM_TIMER
bool "Power Management Timer Support" if EXPERT
depends on X86
default y
help
The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
This timing source is not affected by power management features
like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
(TSC) timing source.
You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
systems require this timer.
config ACPI_CONTAINER
tristate "Container and Module Devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL
default (ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY || ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU || ACPI_HOTPLUG_IO)
help
This driver supports ACPI Container and Module devices (IDs
ACPI0004, PNP0A05, and PNP0A06).
This helps support hotplug of nodes, CPUs, and memory.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called container.
config ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY
tristate "Memory Hotplug"
depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG
default n
help
This driver supports ACPI memory hotplug. The driver
fields notifications on ACPI memory devices (PNP0C80),
which represent memory ranges that may be onlined or
offlined during runtime.
If your hardware and firmware do not support adding or
removing memory devices at runtime, you need not enable
this driver.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the module will be called acpi_memhotplug.
config ACPI_SBS
tristate "Smart Battery System"
depends on X86
select POWER_SUPPLY
help
This driver supports the Smart Battery System, another
type of access to battery information, found on some laptops.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:
the modules will be called sbs and sbshc.
config ACPI_HED
tristate "Hardware Error Device"
help
This driver supports the Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33),
which is used to report some hardware errors notified via
SCI, mainly the corrected errors.
config ACPI_CUSTOM_METHOD
tristate "Allow ACPI methods to be inserted/replaced at run time"
depends on DEBUG_FS
default n
help
This debug facility allows ACPI AML methods to be inserted and/or
replaced without rebooting the system. For details refer to:
Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt.
NOTE: This option is security sensitive, because it allows arbitrary
kernel memory to be written to by root (uid=0) users, allowing them
to bypass certain security measures (e.g. if root is not allowed to
load additional kernel modules after boot, this feature may be used
to override that restriction).
config ACPI_BGRT
tristate "Boottime Graphics Resource Table support"
default n
help
This driver adds support for exposing the ACPI Boottime Graphics
Resource Table, which allows the operating system to obtain
data from the firmware boot splash. It will appear under
/sys/firmware/acpi/bgrt/ .
