+                          Kernel Parameters
+                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as implemented
+(mostly) by the __setup() macro and sorted into English Dictionary order
+(defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits before letters in a
+case insensitive manner), and with descriptions where known.
+
+Module parameters for loadable modules are specified only as the
+parameter name with optional '=' and value as appropriate, such as:
+
+	modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
+
+Module parameters for modules that are built into the kernel image
+are specified on the kernel command line with the module name plus
+'.' plus parameter name, with '=' and value if appropriate, such as:
+
+	usbcore.blinkenlights=1
+
+Hyphens (dashes) and underscores are equivalent in parameter names, so
+	log_buf_len=1M print-fatal-signals=1
+can also be entered as
+	log-buf-len=1M print_fatal_signals=1
+
+
+This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
+"modinfo -p ${modulename}" shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
+module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
+reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
+parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
+"echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}".
+
+The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were
+enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at
+the beginning of each description states the restrictions within which a

+	X86	Either 32-bit or 64-bit x86 (same as X86-32+X86-64)
+	XEN	Xen support is enabled
+
+In addition, the following text indicates that the option:
+
+	BUGS=	Relates to possible processor bugs on the said processor.
+	KNL	Is a kernel start-up parameter.
+	BOOT	Is a boot loader parameter.
+
+Parameters denoted with BOOT are actually interpreted by the boot
+loader, and have no meaning to the kernel directly.
+Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme
+need or coordination with <Documentation/x86/boot.txt>.
+
+There are also arch-specific kernel-parameters not documented here.
+See for example <Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt>.
+
+Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that
+a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
+be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
+it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs
+running once the system is up.
+
+The number of kernel parameters is not limited, but the length of the
+complete command line (parameters including spaces etc.) is limited to
+a fixed number of characters. This limit depends on the architecture
+and is between 256 and 4096 characters. It is defined in the file
+./include/asm/setup.h as COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
+
+Finally, the [KMG] suffix is commonly described after a number of kernel
+parameter values. These 'K', 'M', and 'G' letters represent the _binary_
+multipliers 'Kilo', 'Mega', and 'Giga', equalling 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30
+bytes respectively. Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted.
+
+
+	acpi=		[HW,ACPI,X86]
+			Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
+			Format: { force | off | strict | noirq | rsdt }
+			force -- enable ACPI if default was off
+			off -- disable ACPI if default was on
+			noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
+			strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
+				strictly ACPI specification compliant.
+			rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
+			copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
+
+			See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
+
+	acpi_rsdp=	[ACPI,EFI,KEXEC]
+			Pass the RSDP address to the kernel, mostly used
+			on machines running EFI runtime service to boot the
+			second kernel for kdump.
+
+	acpi_apic_instance=	[ACPI, IOAPIC]
+			Format: <int>
+			2: use 2nd APIC table, if available
+			1,0: use 1st APIC table
+			default: 0
+
+	acpi_backlight=	[HW,ACPI]
+			acpi_backlight=vendor
+			acpi_backlight=video
+			If set to vendor, prefer vendor specific driver
+			(e.g. thinkpad_acpi, sony_acpi, etc.) instead
+			of the ACPI video.ko driver.
+
+	acpi.debug_layer=	[HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
+	acpi.debug_level=	[HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
+			Format: <int>
+			CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
+			debug output.  Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
+			_COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
+			    #define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
+			Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
+			ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
+			    ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
+			The debug_level mask defaults to "info".  See
+			Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for more information about
+			debug layers and levels.
+
+			Enable processor driver info messages:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0x20000000
+			Enable PCI/PCI interrupt routing info messages:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0x400000
+			Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
+			object while interpreting AML:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
+			Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
+
+			Some values produce so much output that the system is
+			unusable.  The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
+			if you need to capture more output.
+
+	acpi_irq_balance [HW,ACPI]
+			ACPI will balance active IRQs
+			default in APIC mode
+
+	acpi_irq_nobalance [HW,ACPI]
+			ACPI will not move active IRQs (default)
+			default in PIC mode

+			use by PCI
+			Format: <irq>,<irq>...
+
+	acpi_no_auto_ssdt	[HW,ACPI] Disable automatic loading of SSDT

+
+	acpi_osi=	[HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
+			acpi_osi="string1"	# add string1 -- only one string
+			acpi_osi="!string2"	# remove built-in string2
+			acpi_osi=		# disable all strings
+
+	acpi_pm_good	[X86]
+			Override the pmtimer bug detection: force the kernel
+			to assume that this machine's pmtimer latches its value
+			and always returns good values.
+
+	acpi_sci=	[HW,ACPI] ACPI System Control Interrupt trigger mode
+			Format: { level | edge | high | low }
+
+	acpi_serialize	[HW,ACPI] force serialization of AML methods
+
+	acpi_skip_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
+			Recognize and ignore IRQ0/pin2 Interrupt Override.
+			For broken nForce2 BIOS resulting in XT-PIC timer.
+
+	acpi_sleep=	[HW,ACPI] Sleep options
+			Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
+				  old_ordering, nonvs, sci_force_enable }
+			See Documentation/power/video.txt for information on
+			s3_bios and s3_mode.
+			s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
+			as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
+			s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
+			used during resume from hibernation.
+			old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
+			control method, with respect to putting devices into
+			low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
+			of _PTS is used by default).
+			nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
+			ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
+			sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
+			on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
+			but some broken systems don't work without it).
+
+	acpi_use_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
+			Use timer override. For some broken Nvidia NF5 boards
+			that require a timer override, but don't have HPET
+
+	acpi_enforce_resources=	[ACPI]
+			{ strict | lax | no }
+			Check for resource conflicts between native drivers
+			and ACPI OperationRegions (SystemIO and SystemMemory
+			only). IO ports and memory declared in ACPI might be
+			used by the ACPI subsystem in arbitrary AML code and
+			can interfere with legacy drivers.
+			strict (default): access to resources claimed by ACPI
+			is denied; legacy drivers trying to access reserved
+			resources will fail to bind to device using them.
+			lax: access to resources claimed by ACPI is allowed;
+			legacy drivers trying to access reserved resources
+			will bind successfully but a warning message is logged.
+			no: ACPI OperationRegions are not marked as reserved,
+			no further checks are performed.
+
+	add_efi_memmap	[EFI; X86] Include EFI memory map in
+			kernel's map of available physical RAM.
+
+	agp=		[AGP]
+			{ off | try_unsupported }
+			off: disable AGP support
+			try_unsupported: try to drive unsupported chipsets
+				(may crash computer or cause data corruption)
+
+	ALSA		[HW,ALSA]
+			See Documentation/sound/alsa/alsa-parameters.txt
+
+	alignment=	[KNL,ARM]
+			Allow the default userspace alignment fault handler
+			behaviour to be specified.  Bit 0 enables warnings,
+			bit 1 enables fixups, and bit 2 sends a segfault.
+
+	align_va_addr=	[X86-64]
+			Align virtual addresses by clearing slice [14:12] when
+			allocating a VMA at process creation time. This option
+			gives you up to 3% performance improvement on AMD F15h
+			machines (where it is enabled by default) for a
+			CPU-intensive style benchmark, and it can vary highly in
+			a microbenchmark depending on workload and compiler.
+
+			32: only for 32-bit processes
+			64: only for 64-bit processes
+			on: enable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
+			off: disable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
+
+	amd_iommu=	[HW,X86-64]
+			Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
+			Possible values are:
+			fullflush - enable flushing of IO/TLB entries when
+				    they are unmapped. Otherwise they are
+				    flushed before they will be reused, which
+				    is a lot of faster
+			off	  - do not initialize any AMD IOMMU found in
+				    the system
+			force_isolation - Force device isolation for all
+					  devices. The IOMMU driver is not
+					  allowed anymore to lift isolation
+					  requirements as needed. This option
+					  does not override iommu=pt
+
+	amd_iommu_dump=	[HW,X86-64]
+			Enable AMD IOMMU driver option to dump the ACPI table
+			for AMD IOMMU. With this option enabled, AMD IOMMU
+			driver will print ACPI tables for AMD IOMMU during
+			IOMMU initialization.
+
+	amijoy.map=	[HW,JOY] Amiga joystick support
+			Map of devices attached to JOY0DAT and JOY1DAT
+			Format: <a>,<b>

+			Specifies type or capabilities of an analog joystick
+			connected to one of 16 gameports
+			Format: <type1>,<type2>,..<type16>
+
+	apc=		[HW,SPARC]
+			Power management functions (SPARCstation-4/5 + deriv.)
+			Format: noidle
+			Disable APC CPU standby support. SPARCstation-Fox does
+			not play well with APC CPU idle - disable it if you have
+			APC and your system crashes randomly.
+
+	apic=		[APIC,X86-32] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
+			Change the output verbosity whilst booting
+			Format: { quiet (default) | verbose | debug }

+			The parameter valid if only apic=debug or
+			apic=verbose is specified.
+			Example: apic=debug show_lapic=all
+
+	apm=		[APM] Advanced Power Management
+			See header of arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c.

+
+	c101=		[NET] Moxa C101 synchronous serial card
+
+	cachesize=	[BUGS=X86-32] Override level 2 CPU cache size detection.
+			Sometimes CPU hardware bugs make them report the cache
+			size incorrectly. The kernel will attempt work arounds
+			to fix known problems, but for some CPUs it is not
+			possible to determine what the correct size should be.
+			This option provides an override for these situations.
+
+	ccw_timeout_log [S390]
+			See Documentation/s390/CommonIO for details.

+			Format: {name of the controller(s) to disable}
+				{Currently supported controllers - "memory"}
+
+	checkreqprot	[SELINUX] Set initial checkreqprot flag value.

+			Default value is set via a kernel config option.
+			Value can be changed at runtime via
+				/selinux/checkreqprot.
+
+	cio_ignore=	[S390]

+
+	clocksource=	Override the default clocksource

+
+	clearcpuid=BITNUM [X86]
+			Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
+			arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.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.
+			Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
+			or using the feature without checking anything
+			will still see it. This just prevents it from
+			being used by the kernel or shown in /proc/cpuinfo.
+			Also note the kernel might malfunction if you disable
+			some critical bits.
+
+	cma=nn[MG]	[ARM,KNL]
+			Sets the size of kernel global memory area for contiguous
+			memory allocations. For more information, see
+			include/linux/dma-contiguous.h
+
+	cmo_free_hint=	[PPC] Format: { yes | no }

+		hvc<n>	Use the hypervisor console device <n>. This is for
+			both Xen and PowerPC hypervisors.
+
+                If the device connected to the port is not a TTY but a braille
+                device, prepend "brl," before the device type, for instance
+			console=brl,ttyS0
+		For now, only VisioBraille is supported.
+
+	consoleblank=	[KNL] The console blank (screen saver) timeout in
+			seconds. Defaults to 10*60 = 10mins. A value of 0

+
+	debug_guardpage_minorder=
+			[KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this

+			buddy allocator. Bigger value increase the probability
+			of catching random memory corruption, but reduce the
+			amount of memory for normal system use. The maximum
+			possible value is MAX_ORDER/2.  Setting this parameter
+			to 1 or 2 should be enough to identify most random
+			memory corruption problems caused by bugs in kernel or
+			driver code when a CPU writes to (or reads from) a
+			random memory location. Note that there exists a class
+			of memory corruptions problems caused by buggy H/W or
+			F/W or by drivers badly programing DMA (basically when
+			memory is written at bus level and the CPU MMU is
+			bypassed) which are not detectable by

+
+	drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<file>
+			Broken monitors, graphic adapters and KVMs may

+	keepinitrd	[HW,ARM]
+
+	kernelcore=nn[KMG]	[KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] 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
+			remaining memory in each node is used for Movable
+			pages. In the event, a node is too small to have both
+			kernelcore and Movable pages, kernelcore pages will
+			take priority and other nodes will have a larger number
+			of kernelcore pages.  The Movable zone is used for the
+			allocation of pages that may be reclaimed or moved
+			by the page migration subsystem.  This means that
+			HugeTLB pages may not be allocated from this zone.
+			Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem still
+			use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
+			zone if it does not.
+
+	kgdbdbgp=	[KGDB,HW] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
+			Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]
+			The controller # is the number of the ehci usb debug
+			port as it is probed via PCI.  The poll interval is
+			optional and is the number seconds in between
+			each poll cycle to the debug port in case you need
+			the functionality for interrupting the kernel with
+			gdb or control-c on the dbgp connection.  When
+			not using this parameter you use sysrq-g to break into
+			the kernel debugger.
+
+	kgdboc=		[KGDB,HW] kgdb over consoles.
+			Requires a tty driver that supports console polling,
+			or a supported polling keyboard driver (non-usb).
+			 Serial only format: <serial_device>[,baud]

+			 keyboard and serial format: kbd,<serial_device>[,baud]
+			Optional Kernel mode setting:
+			 kms, kbd format: kms,kbd
+			 kms, kbd and serial format: kms,kbd,<ser_dev>[,baud]
+
+	kgdbwait	[KGDB] Stop kernel execution and enter the
+			kernel debugger at the earliest opportunity.

+	kvm.ignore_msrs=[KVM] Ignore guest accesses to unhandled MSRs.
+			Default is 0 (don't ignore, but inject #GP)
+
+	kvm.mmu_audit=	[KVM] This is a R/W parameter which allows audit
+			KVM MMU at runtime.
+			Default is 0 (off)
+
+	kvm-amd.nested=	[KVM,AMD] Allow nested virtualization in KVM/SVM.
+			Default is 1 (enabled)
+
+	kvm-amd.npt=	[KVM,AMD] Disable nested paging (virtualized MMU)
+			for all guests.
+			Default is 1 (enabled) if in 64-bit or 32-bit PAE mode.
+
+	kvm-intel.ept=	[KVM,Intel] Disable extended page tables
+			(virtualized MMU) support on capable Intel chips.
+			Default is 1 (enabled)

+	l3cr=		[PPC]
+
+	lapic		[X86-32,APIC] Enable the local APIC even if BIOS
+			disabled it.
+
+	lapic=		[x86,APIC] "notscdeadline" Do not use TSC deadline
+			value for LAPIC timer one-shot implementation. Default
+			back to the programmable timer unit in the LAPIC.
+
+	lapic_timer_c2_ok	[X86,APIC] trust the local apic timer
+			in C2 power state.
+
+	libata.dma=	[LIBATA] DMA control
+			libata.dma=0	  Disable all PATA and SATA DMA
+			libata.dma=1	  PATA and SATA Disk DMA only
+			libata.dma=2	  ATAPI (CDROM) DMA only
+			libata.dma=4	  Compact Flash DMA only
+			Combinations also work, so libata.dma=3 enables DMA
+			for disks and CDROMs, but not CFs.
+
+	libata.ignore_hpa=	[LIBATA] Ignore HPA limit
+			libata.ignore_hpa=0	  keep BIOS limits (default)
+			libata.ignore_hpa=1	  ignore limits, using full disk
+
+	libata.noacpi	[LIBATA] Disables use of ACPI in libata suspend/resume
+			when set.
+			Format: <int>
+
+	libata.force=	[LIBATA] Force configurations.  The format is comma
+			separated list of "[ID:]VAL" where ID is
+			PORT[.DEVICE].  PORT and DEVICE are decimal numbers
+			matching port, link or device.  Basically, it matches
+			the ATA ID string printed on console by libata.  If
+			the whole ID part is omitted, the last PORT and DEVICE
+			values are used.  If ID hasn't been specified yet, the
+			configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.
+
+			If only DEVICE is omitted, the parameter applies to
+			the port and all links and devices behind it.  DEVICE
+			number of 0 either selects the first device or the
+			first fan-out link behind PMP device.  It does not
+			select the host link.  DEVICE number of 15 selects the
+			host link and device attached to it.
+
+			The VAL specifies the configuration to force.  As long
+			as there's no ambiguity shortcut notation is allowed.
+			For example, both 1.5 and 1.5G would work for 1.5Gbps.
+			The following configurations can be forced.
+
+			* Cable type: 40c, 80c, short40c, unk, ign or sata.
+			  Any ID with matching PORT is used.
+
+			* SATA link speed limit: 1.5Gbps or 3.0Gbps.
+
+			* Transfer mode: pio[0-7], mwdma[0-4] and udma[0-7].
+			  udma[/][16,25,33,44,66,100,133] notation is also
+			  allowed.
+
+			* [no]ncq: Turn on or off NCQ.
+
+			* nohrst, nosrst, norst: suppress hard, soft
+                          and both resets.
+
+			* rstonce: only attempt one reset during
+			  hot-unplug link recovery
+
+			* dump_id: dump IDENTIFY data.
+
+			If there are multiple matching configurations changing
+			the same attribute, the last one is used.
+
+	memblock=debug	[KNL] Enable memblock debug messages.
+
+	load_ramdisk=	[RAM] List of ramdisks to load from floppy

+			Format: <integer>
+
+	logibm.irq=	[HW,MOUSE] Logitech Bus Mouse Driver
+			Format: <irq>
+
+	loglevel=	All Kernel Messages with a loglevel smaller than the
+			console loglevel will be printed to the console. It can
+			also be changed with klogd or other programs. The
+			loglevels are defined as follows:
+
+			0 (KERN_EMERG)		system is unusable
+			1 (KERN_ALERT)		action must be taken immediately
+			2 (KERN_CRIT)		critical conditions
+			3 (KERN_ERR)		error conditions
+			4 (KERN_WARNING)	warning conditions
+			5 (KERN_NOTICE)		normal but significant condition
+			6 (KERN_INFO)		informational
+			7 (KERN_DEBUG)		debug-level messages
+
+	log_buf_len=n[KMG]	Sets the size of the printk ring buffer,
+			in bytes.  n must be a power of two.  The default
+			size is set in the kernel config file.
+
+	logo.nologo	[FB] Disables display of the built-in Linux logo.
+			This may be used to provide more screen space for
+			kernel log messages and is useful when debugging
+			kernel boot problems.
+
+	lp=0		[LP]	Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
+	lp=port[,port...]	lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
+	lp=reset		first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
+	lp=auto			printer driver. 'lp=reset' (which can be
+				specified in addition to the ports) causes
+				attached printers to be reset. Using
+				lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
+				to associate lp devices with, starting with
+				lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
+				that lp device, or a parport name such as
+				'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
+				port specification list means that device IDs
+				from each port should be examined, to see if
+				an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached; if
+				so, the driver will manage that printer.
+				See also header of drivers/char/lp.c.
+
+	lpj=n		[KNL]
+			Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
+			time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
+			CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
+			the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
+			autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
+			on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
+			which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
+			significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
+			will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
+			unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
+			unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
+			hardware.
+
+	ltpc=		[NET]
+			Format: <io>,<irq>,<dma>
+
+	mac=		[NET]
+			Used ASIX drivers.
+			Example: mac=12:34:56:78:ab:cd
+
+	machvec=	[IA-64] Force the use of a particular machine-vector
+			(machvec) in a generic kernel.
+			Example: machvec=hpzx1_swiotlb
+
+	machtype=	[Loongson] Share the same kernel image file between different
+			 yeeloong laptop.
+			Example: machtype=lemote-yeeloong-2f-7inch
+
+	max_addr=nn[KMG]	[KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory greater
+			than or equal to this physical address is ignored.
+
+	maxcpus=	[SMP] Maximum number of processors that	an SMP kernel
+			should make use of.  maxcpus=n : n >= 0 limits the
+			kernel to using 'n' processors.  n=0 is a special case,
+			it is equivalent to "nosmp", which also disables
+			the IO APIC.
+
+	max_loop=	[LOOP] The number of loop block devices that get
+	(loop.max_loop)	unconditionally pre-created at init time. The default
+			number is configured by BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT. Instead
+			of statically allocating a predefined number, loop
+			devices can be requested on-demand with the
+			/dev/loop-control interface.
+
+	mce		[X86-32] Machine Check Exception
+
+	mce=option	[X86-64] See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt
+
+	md=		[HW] RAID subsystems devices and level
+			See Documentation/md.txt.
+
+	mdacon=		[MDA]
+			Format: <first>,<last>
+			Specifies range of consoles to be captured by the MDA.
+
+	mem=nn[KMG]	[KNL,BOOT] Force usage of a specific amount of memory
+			Amount of memory to be used when the kernel is not able
+			to see the whole system memory or for test.
+			[X86] Work as limiting max address. Use together
+			with memmap= to avoid physical address space collisions.
+			Without memmap= PCI devices could be placed at addresses
+			belonging to unused RAM.
+
+	mem=nopentium	[BUGS=X86-32] Disable usage of 4MB pages for kernel
+			memory.
+
+	memchunk=nn[KMG]
+			[KNL,SH] Allow user to override the default size for
+			per-device physically contiguous DMA buffers.
+
+	memmap=exactmap	[KNL,X86] Enable setting of an exact
+			E820 memory map, as specified by the user.
+			Such memmap=exactmap lines can be constructed based on
+			BIOS output or other requirements. See the memmap=nn@ss
+			option description.
+
+	memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
+			[KNL] Force usage of a specific region of memory
+			Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
+
+	memmap=nn[KMG]#ss[KMG]
+			[KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as ACPI data.
+			Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
+
+	memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
+			[KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as reserved.
+			Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
+			Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
+			         memmap=64K$0x18690000
+			         or
+			         memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
+
+	memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
+			Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
+			memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
+			Setting this option will scan the memory
+			looking for corruption.  Enabling this will
+			both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
+			from using the memory being corrupted.
+			However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
+			repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
+			affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
+			to prevent the kernel from using that memory.
+
+	memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
+			By default it checks for corruption in the low
+			64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
+			use.  Use this parameter to scan for
+			corruption in more or less memory.
+
+	memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
+			By default it checks for corruption every 60
+			seconds.  Use this parameter to check at some
+			other rate.  0 disables periodic checking.
+
+	memtest=	[KNL,X86] Enable memtest
+			Format: <integer>
+			default : 0 <disable>
+			Specifies the number of memtest passes to be
+			performed. Each pass selects another test
+			pattern from a given set of patterns. Memtest
+			fills the memory with this pattern, validates
+			memory contents and reserves bad memory
+			regions that are detected.
+
+	meye.*=		[HW] Set MotionEye Camera parameters
+			See Documentation/video4linux/meye.txt.
+
+	mfgpt_irq=	[IA-32] Specify the IRQ to use for the
+			Multi-Function General Purpose Timers on AMD Geode
+			platforms.
+
+	mfgptfix	[X86-32] Fix MFGPT timers on AMD Geode platforms when
+			the BIOS has incorrectly applied a workaround. TinyBIOS
+			version 0.98 is known to be affected, 0.99 fixes the
+			problem by letting the user disable the workaround.
+
+	mga=		[HW,DRM]
+
+	min_addr=nn[KMG]	[KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory below this
+			physical address is ignored.
+
+	mini2440=	[ARM,HW,KNL]
+			Format:[0..2][b][c][t]
+			Default: "0tb"
+			MINI2440 configuration specification:
+			0 - The attached screen is the 3.5" TFT
+			1 - The attached screen is the 7" TFT
+			2 - The VGA Shield is attached (1024x768)
+			Leaving out the screen size parameter will not load
+			the TFT driver, and the framebuffer will be left
+			unconfigured.
+			b - Enable backlight. The TFT backlight pin will be
+			linked to the kernel VESA blanking code and a GPIO
+			LED. This parameter is not necessary when using the
+			VGA shield.
+			c - Enable the s3c camera interface.
+			t - Reserved for enabling touchscreen support. The
+			touchscreen support is not enabled in the mainstream
+			kernel as of 2.6.30, a preliminary port can be found
+			in the "bleeding edge" mini2440 support kernel at
+			http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git
+
+	mminit_loglevel=
+			[KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set, this
+			parameter allows control of the logging verbosity for
+			the additional memory initialisation checks. A value
+			of 0 disables mminit logging and a level of 4 will
+			log everything. Information is printed at KERN_DEBUG
+			so loglevel=8 may also need to be specified.
+
+	module.sig_enforce
+			[KNL] When CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, this means that
+			modules without (valid) signatures will fail to load.
+			Note that if CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ENFORCE is set, that
+			is always true, so this option does nothing.
+
+	mousedev.tap_time=
+			[MOUSE] Maximum time between finger touching and
+			leaving touchpad surface for touch to be considered
+			a tap and be reported as a left button click (for
+			touchpads working in absolute mode only).
+			Format: <msecs>
+	mousedev.xres=	[MOUSE] Horizontal screen resolution, used for devices
+			reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
+	mousedev.yres=	[MOUSE] Vertical screen resolution, used for devices
+			reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
+
+	movablecore=nn[KMG]	[KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC] This parameter
+			is similar to kernelcore except it specifies the
+			amount of memory used for migratable allocations.
+			If both kernelcore and movablecore is specified,
+			then kernelcore will be at *least* the specified
+			value but may be more. If movablecore on its own
+			is specified, the administrator must be careful
+			that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
+			is not too small.
+
+	MTD_Partition=	[MTD]
+			Format: <name>,<region-number>,<size>,<offset>
+
+	MTD_Region=	[MTD] Format:
+			<name>,<region-number>[,<base>,<size>,<buswidth>,<altbuswidth>]
+
+	mtdparts=	[MTD]
+			See drivers/mtd/cmdlinepart.c.
+
+	multitce=off	[PPC]  This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
+			firmware feature for updating multiple TCE entries
+			at a time.
+
+	onenand.bdry=	[HW,MTD] Flex-OneNAND Boundary Configuration
+
+			Format: [die0_boundary][,die0_lock][,die1_boundary][,die1_lock]
+
+			boundary - index of last SLC block on Flex-OneNAND.
+				   The remaining blocks are configured as MLC blocks.
+			lock	 - Configure if Flex-OneNAND boundary should be locked.
+				   Once locked, the boundary cannot be changed.
+				   1 indicates lock status, 0 indicates unlock status.
+
+	mtdset=		[ARM]
+			ARM/S3C2412 JIVE boot control
+
+			See arch/arm/mach-s3c2412/mach-jive.c
+
+	mtouchusb.raw_coordinates=
+			[HW] Make the MicroTouch USB driver use raw coordinates
+			('y', default) or cooked coordinates ('n')
+
+	mtrr_chunk_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
+			used for mtrr cleanup. It is largest continuous chunk
+			that could hold holes aka. UC entries.
+
+	mtrr_gran_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
+			Used for mtrr cleanup. It is granularity of mtrr block.
+			Default is 1.
+			Large value could prevent small alignment from
+			using up MTRRs.
+
+	mtrr_spare_reg_nr=n [X86]
+			Format: <integer>
+			Range: 0,7 : spare reg number
+			Default : 1
+			Used for mtrr cleanup. It is spare mtrr entries number.
+			Set to 2 or more if your graphical card needs more.
+
+	n2=		[NET] SDL Inc. RISCom/N2 synchronous serial card
+
+	netdev=		[NET] Network devices parameters
+			Format: <irq>,<io>,<mem_start>,<mem_end>,<name>
+			Note that mem_start is often overloaded to mean
+			something different and driver-specific.
+			This usage is only documented in each driver source
+			file if at all.
+
+	nf_conntrack.acct=
+			[NETFILTER] Enable connection tracking flow accounting
+			0 to disable accounting
+			1 to enable accounting
+			Default value is 0.
+
+	nfsaddrs=	[NFS] Deprecated.  Use ip= instead.
+			See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+
+	nfsroot=	[NFS] nfs root filesystem for disk-less boxes.
+			See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+
+	nfsrootdebug	[NFS] enable nfsroot debugging messages.

+
+	nfs.callback_tcpport=
+			[NFS] set the TCP port on which the NFSv4 callback
+			channel should listen.
+
+	nfs.cache_getent=
+			[NFS] sets the pathname to the program which is used
+			to update the NFS client cache entries.
+
+	nfs.cache_getent_timeout=
+			[NFS] sets the timeout after which an attempt to
+			update a cache entry is deemed to have failed.
+
+	nfs.idmap_cache_timeout=
+			[NFS] set the maximum lifetime for idmapper cache
+			entries.
+
+	nfs.enable_ino64=
+			[NFS] enable 64-bit inode numbers.
+			If zero, the NFS client will fake up a 32-bit inode
+			number for the readdir() and stat() syscalls instead
+			of returning the full 64-bit number.
+			The default is to return 64-bit inode numbers.
+
+	nfs.max_session_slots=
+			[NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session slots
+			the client will attempt to negotiate with the server.
+			This limits the number of simultaneous RPC requests
+			that the client can send to the NFSv4.1 server.
+			Note that there is little point in setting this
+			value higher than the max_tcp_slot_table_limit.
+
+	nfs.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
+			[NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', this option
+			ensures that both the RPC level authentication
+			scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use
+			numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the
+			'sec=sys' security flavour. In effect it is
+			disabling idmapping, which can make migration from
+			legacy NFSv2/v3 systems to NFSv4 easier.
+			Servers that do not support this mode of operation
+			will be autodetected by the client, and it will fall
+			back to using the idmapper.
+			To turn off this behaviour, set the value to '0'.
+	nfs.nfs4_unique_id=
+			[NFS4] Specify an additional fixed unique ident-
+			ification string that NFSv4 clients can insert into
+			their nfs_client_id4 string.  This is typically a
+			UUID that is generated at system install time.
+
+	nfs.send_implementation_id =
+			[NFSv4.1] Send client implementation identification
+			information in exchange_id requests.
+			If zero, no implementation identification information
+			will be sent.
+			The default is to send the implementation identification
+			information.
+
+	nfsd.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
+			[NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', the NFSv4
+			server will return only numeric uids and gids to
+			clients using auth_sys, and will accept numeric uids
+			and gids from such clients.  This is intended to ease
+			migration from NFSv2/v3.
+
+	objlayoutdriver.osd_login_prog=
+			[NFS] [OBJLAYOUT] sets the pathname to the program which
+			is used to automatically discover and login into new
+			osd-targets. Please see:
+			Documentation/filesystems/pnfs.txt for more explanations
+
+	nmi_debug=	[KNL,AVR32,SH] Specify one or more actions to take
+			when a NMI is triggered.
+			Format: [state][,regs][,debounce][,die]
+
+	nmi_watchdog=	[KNL,BUGS=X86] Debugging features for SMP kernels
+			Format: [panic,][nopanic,][num]
+			Valid num: 0
+			0 - turn nmi_watchdog off
+			When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
+			timeout occurs (or 'nopanic' to override the opposite
+			default).
+			This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
+			need the box quickly up again.
+
+	netpoll.carrier_timeout=
+			[NET] Specifies amount of time (in seconds) that
+			netpoll should wait for a carrier. By default netpoll
+			waits 4 seconds.
+
+	no387		[BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel to use the 387 maths
+			emulation library even if a 387 maths coprocessor
+			is present.
+
+	no_console_suspend
+			[HW] Never suspend the console
+			Disable suspending of consoles during suspend and
+			hibernate operations.  Once disabled, debugging
+			messages can reach various consoles while the rest
+			of the system is being put to sleep (ie, while
+			debugging driver suspend/resume hooks).  This may
+			not work reliably with all consoles, but is known
+			to work with serial and VGA consoles.
+			To facilitate more flexible debugging, we also add
+			console_suspend, a printk module parameter to control
+			it. Users could use console_suspend (usually
+			/sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend) to
+			turn on/off it dynamically.
+
+	noaliencache	[MM, NUMA, SLAB] Disables the allocation of alien
+			caches in the slab allocator.  Saves per-node memory,
+			but will impact performance.
+
+	noalign		[KNL,ARM]
+
+	noapic		[SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel to not make use of any
+			IOAPICs that may be present in the system.
+
+	noautogroup	Disable scheduler automatic task group creation.
+
+	nobats		[PPC] Do not use BATs for mapping kernel lowmem
+			on "Classic" PPC cores.
+
+	nocache		[ARM]
+

+			interrupts *may* be lost!
+
+	omap_mux=	[OMAP] Override bootloader pin multiplexing.

+			address, IRQ, and DMA settings; IRQ and DMA
+			should be numbers, or 'auto' (for using detected
+			settings on that particular port), or 'nofifo'
+			(to avoid using a FIFO even if it is detected).
+			Parallel ports are assigned in the order they
+			are specified on the command line, starting
+			with parport0.
+
+	parport_init_mode=	[HW,PPT]
+			Configure VIA parallel port to operate in
+			a specific mode. This is necessary on Pegasos

+	pci=option[,option...]	[PCI] various PCI subsystem options:
+		earlydump	[X86] dump PCI config space before the kernel
+			        changes anything
+		off		[X86] don't probe for the PCI bus
+		bios		[X86-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
+				the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
+				has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
+		nobios		[X86-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
+				hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
+				if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
+				suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
+		conf1		[X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
+				Mechanism 1.
+		conf2		[X86] Force use of PCI Configuration
+				Mechanism 2.
+		noaer		[PCIE] If the PCIEAER kernel config parameter is
+				enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
+				disable the use of PCIE advanced error reporting.
+		nodomains	[PCI] Disable support for multiple PCI
+				root domains (aka PCI segments, in ACPI-speak).
+		nommconf	[X86] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
+				Configuration
+		check_enable_amd_mmconf [X86] check for and enable
+				properly configured MMIO access to PCI
+				config space on AMD family 10h CPU
+		nomsi		[MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
+				enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
+				disable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.
+		noioapicquirk	[APIC] Disable all boot interrupt quirks.
+				Safety option to keep boot IRQs enabled. This
+				should never be necessary.
+		ioapicreroute	[APIC] Enable rerouting of boot IRQs to the
+				primary IO-APIC for bridges that cannot disable
+				boot IRQs. This fixes a source of spurious IRQs
+				when the system masks IRQs.
+		noioapicreroute	[APIC] Disable workaround that uses the
+				boot IRQ equivalent of an IRQ that connects to
+				a chipset where boot IRQs cannot be disabled.
+				The opposite of ioapicreroute.
+		biosirq		[X86-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
+				routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
+				on several machines and they hang the machine
+				when used, but on other computers it's the only
+				way to get the interrupt routing table. Try
+				this option if the kernel is unable to allocate
+				IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your
+				motherboard.
+		rom		[X86] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
+				Use with caution as certain devices share
+				address decoders between ROMs and other
+				resources.
+		norom		[X86] Do not assign address space to
+				expansion ROMs that do not already have
+				BIOS assigned address ranges.
+		nobar		[X86] Do not assign address space to the
+				BARs that weren't assigned by the BIOS.
+		irqmask=0xMMMM	[X86] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be
+				assigned automatically to PCI devices. You can
+				make the kernel exclude IRQs of your ISA cards
+				this way.
+		pirqaddr=0xAAAAA	[X86] Specify the physical address
+				of the PIRQ table (normally generated
+				by the BIOS) if it is outside the
+				F0000h-100000h range.
+		lastbus=N	[X86] Scan all buses thru bus #N. Can be
+				useful if the kernel is unable to find your
+				secondary buses and you want to tell it
+				explicitly which ones they are.
+		assign-busses	[X86] Always assign all PCI bus
+				numbers ourselves, overriding
+				whatever the firmware may have done.
+		usepirqmask	[X86] Honor the possible IRQ mask stored
+				in the BIOS $PIR table. This is needed on
+				some systems with broken BIOSes, notably
+				some HP Pavilion N5400 and Omnibook XE3
+				notebooks. This will have no effect if ACPI
+				IRQ routing is enabled.
+		noacpi		[X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
+				or for PCI scanning.
+		use_crs		[X86] Use PCI host bridge window information
+				from ACPI.  On BIOSes from 2008 or later, this
+				is enabled by default.  If you need to use this,
+				please report a bug.
+		nocrs		[X86] Ignore PCI host bridge windows from ACPI.
+			        If you need to use this, please report a bug.
+		routeirq	Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
+				This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
+				so this option is a temporary workaround
+				for broken drivers that don't call it.
+		skip_isa_align	[X86] do not align io start addr, so can
+				handle more pci cards
+		firmware	[ARM] Do not re-enumerate the bus but instead
+				just use the configuration from the
+				bootloader. This is currently used on
+				IXP2000 systems where the bus has to be
+				configured a certain way for adjunct CPUs.
+		noearly		[X86] Don't do any early type 1 scanning.
+				This might help on some broken boards which
+				machine check when some devices' config space
+				is read. But various workarounds are disabled
+				and some IOMMU drivers will not work.
+		bfsort		Sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
+				This sorting is done to get a device
+				order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
+		nobfsort	Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
+		pcie_bus_tune_off	Disable PCIe MPS (Max Payload Size)
+				tuning and use the BIOS-configured MPS defaults.
+		pcie_bus_safe	Set every device's MPS to the largest value
+				supported by all devices below the root complex.
+		pcie_bus_perf	Set device MPS to the largest allowable MPS
+				based on its parent bus. Also set MRRS (Max

+				value (no larger than the MPS that the device
+				or bus can support) for best performance.
+		pcie_bus_peer2peer	Set every device's MPS to 128B, which
+				every device is guaranteed to support. This
+				configuration allows peer-to-peer DMA between
+				any pair of devices, possibly at the cost of
+				reduced performance.  This also guarantees
+				that hot-added devices will work.
+		cbiosize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
+				reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.
+				The default value is 256 bytes.
+		cbmemsize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is

+				If <order of align> is not specified,
+				PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment.
+				PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource
+				windows need to be expanded.
+		ecrc=		Enable/disable PCIe ECRC (transaction layer
+				end-to-end CRC checking).
+				bios: Use BIOS/firmware settings. This is the
+				the default.
+				off: Turn ECRC off

+				<baseaddr> := physical base address
+				<irq>      := interrupt number (as passed to
+						request_irq())
+				<id>       := (optional) platform device id
+			example:
+				virtio_mmio.device=1K@0x100b0000:48:7
+
+			Can be used multiple times for multiple devices.
+
+	vga=		[BOOT,X86-32] Select a particular video mode
+			See Documentation/x86/boot.txt and
+			Documentation/svga.txt.
+			Use vga=ask for menu.
+			This is actually a boot loader parameter; the value is
+			passed to the kernel using a special protocol.
+
+	vmalloc=nn[KMG]	[KNL,BOOT] Forces the vmalloc area to have an exact
+			size of <nn>. This can be used to increase the
+			minimum size (128MB on x86). It can also be used to
+			decrease the size and leave more room for directly
+			mapped kernel RAM.
+
+	vmhalt=		[KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after system halt.
+			Format: <command>
+
+	vmpanic=	[KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after kernel panic.
+			Format: <command>
+
+	vmpoff=		[KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after power off.
+			Format: <command>
+
+	vsyscall=	[X86-64]
+			Controls the behavior of vsyscalls (i.e. calls to
+			fixed addresses of 0xffffffffff600x00 from legacy
+			code).  Most statically-linked binaries and older
+			versions of glibc use these calls.  Because these
+			functions are at fixed addresses, they make nice
+			targets for exploits that can control RIP.
+
+			emulate     [default] Vsyscalls turn into traps and are
+			            emulated reasonably safely.
+
+			native      Vsyscalls are native syscall instructions.
+			            This is a little bit faster than trapping
+			            and makes a few dynamic recompilers work
+			            better than they would in emulation mode.
+			            It also makes exploits much easier to write.
+
+			none        Vsyscalls don't work at all.  This makes
+			            them quite hard to use for exploits but
+			            might break your system.
+
+	vt.cur_default=	[VT] Default cursor shape.
+			Format: 0xCCBBAA, where AA, BB, and CC are the same as
+			the parameters of the <Esc>[?A;B;Cc escape sequence;
+			see VGA-softcursor.txt. Default: 2 = underline.
+
+	vt.default_blu=	[VT]
+			Format: <blue0>,<blue1>,<blue2>,...,<blue15>
+			Change the default blue palette of the console.
+			This is a 16-member array composed of values
+			ranging from 0-255.
+
+	vt.default_grn=	[VT]
+			Format: <green0>,<green1>,<green2>,...,<green15>
+			Change the default green palette of the console.
+			This is a 16-member array composed of values
+			ranging from 0-255.
+
+	vt.default_red=	[VT]
+			Format: <red0>,<red1>,<red2>,...,<red15>
+			Change the default red palette of the console.
+			This is a 16-member array composed of values
+			ranging from 0-255.
+
+	vt.default_utf8=
+			[VT]
+			Format=<0|1>
+			Set system-wide default UTF-8 mode for all tty's.
+			Default is 1, i.e. UTF-8 mode is enabled for all
+			newly opened terminals.
+
+	vt.global_cursor_default=
+			[VT]
+			Format=<-1|0|1>
+			Set system-wide default for whether a cursor
+			is shown on new VTs. Default is -1,
+			i.e. cursors will be created by default unless
+			overridden by individual drivers. 0 will hide
+			cursors, 1 will display them.
+
+	watchdog timers	[HW,WDT] For information on watchdog timers,
+			see Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt
+			or other driver-specific files in the
+			Documentation/watchdog/ directory.
+
+	x2apic_phys	[X86-64,APIC] Use x2apic physical mode instead of
+			default x2apic cluster mode on platforms
+			supporting x2apic.
+
+	x86_mrst_timer= [X86-32,APBT]
+			Choose timer option for x86 Moorestown MID platform.
+			Two valid options are apbt timer only and lapic timer
+			plus one apbt timer for broadcast timer.
+			x86_mrst_timer=apbt_only | lapic_and_apbt
+
+	xd=		[HW,XT] Original XT pre-IDE (RLL encoded) disks.
+	xd_geo=		See header of drivers/block/xd.c.
+
+	xen_emul_unplug=		[HW,X86,XEN]
+			Unplug Xen emulated devices
+			Format: [unplug0,][unplug1]
+			ide-disks -- unplug primary master IDE devices
+			aux-ide-disks -- unplug non-primary-master IDE devices
+			nics -- unplug network devices
+			all -- unplug all emulated devices (NICs and IDE disks)
+			unnecessary -- unplugging emulated devices is
+				unnecessary even if the host did not respond to
+				the unplug protocol
+			never -- do not unplug even if version check succeeds
+
+	xirc2ps_cs=	[NET,PCMCIA]
+			Format:
+			<irq>,<irq_mask>,<io>,<full_duplex>,<do_sound>,<lockup_hack>[,<irq2>[,<irq3>[,<irq4>]]]
