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 parameter is applicable: |

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_osi=!' can be used in combination with single or multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific OS vendor string(s).

'acpi_osi=' cannot be used in combination with other 'acpi_osi=' command lines, the _OSI method will not exist in the ACPI namespace. NOTE that such command can only affect the _OSI support state, thus specifying it multiple times through kernel command line is also meaningless. Examples: 1. 'acpi_osi=' can make 'CondRefOf(_OSI, Local1)' FALSE. |

'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific string(s). Note that such command can affect the current state of both the OS vendor strings and the feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times through kernel command line is meaningful. But it may still not able to affect the final state of a string if there are quirks related to this string. This command is useful when one want to control the state of the feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to the OSPM features. Examples: 1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make '_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE. 2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make '_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE. 3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is equivalent to 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' and 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!', they all will make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE. |

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). |

debug_guardpage_minorder= [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this parameter allows control of the order of pages that will be intentionally kept free (and hence protected) by the 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 CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, hence this option will not help tracking down these problems. |

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.

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> |

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. |

[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.recover_lost_locks = [NFSv4] Attempt to recover locks that were lost due to a lease timeout on the server. Please note that doing this risks data corruption, since there are no guarantees that the file will remain unchanged after the locks are lost. If you want to enable the kernel legacy behaviour of attempting to recover these locks, then set this parameter to '1'. The default parameter value of '0' causes the kernel not to attempt recovery of lost locks. |

Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate. 2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be removed if a PIC interrupt is detected. It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some machines although I haven't seen such issues so far after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines. If the dependencies are under your control, you can turn on cpu0_hotplug. |

Format: <mode> parport= [HW,PPT] Specify parallel ports. 0 disables. Format: { 0 | auto | 0xBBB[,IRQ[,DMA]] } Use 'auto' to force the driver to use any IRQ/DMA settings detected (the default is to ignore detected IRQ/DMA settings because of possible conflicts). You can specify the base 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 computer where firmware has no options for setting up parallel port mode and sets it to spp. Currently this function knows 686a and 8231 chips. |

Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs (specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads, make these kthreads poll for callbacks. This improves the real-time response for the offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads periodically wake up to do the polling. |

sunrpc.min_resvport= sunrpc.max_resvport= [NFS,SUNRPC] SunRPC servers often require that client requests originate from a privileged port (i.e. a port in the range 0 < portnr < 1024). An administrator who wishes to reserve some of these ports for other uses may adjust the range that the kernel's sunrpc client considers to be privileged using these two parameters to set the minimum and maximum port values. |

If CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is set, the default is vdso32=0; otherwise, the default is vdso32=1. For compatibility with older kernels, vdso32=2 is an alias for vdso32=0. Try vdso32=0 if you encounter an error that says: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed! |

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. |

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. |

workqueue.disable_numa By default, all work items queued to unbound workqueues are affine to the NUMA nodes they're issued on, which results in better behavior in general. If NUMA affinity needs to be disabled for whatever reason, this option can be used. Note that this also can be controlled per-workqueue for workqueues visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/. |

workqueue.power_efficient Per-cpu workqueues are generally preferred because they show better performance thanks to cache locality; unfortunately, per-cpu workqueues tend to be more power hungry than unbound workqueues. Enabling this makes the per-cpu workqueues which were observed to contribute significantly to power consumption unbound, leading to measurably lower power usage at the cost of small performance overhead. The default value of this parameter is determined by the config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT. |
