228 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
229 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
230 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
231
232 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
233 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
234 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
235 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
236 will run faster if you say N here.
237
238 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
239 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
240 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
241 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
242
243 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
244 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
245 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200734 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
735 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
736 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
737 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
738
739 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
740 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
741 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
742 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
743 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
744 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
745 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
746 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
747 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
748 down (vital) interrupt lines.
749
750 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
751 increased on these systems.

756 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
757 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
758 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
759 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
760 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
761 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
762 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
763 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
764 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
765 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
766 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
767 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

949 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
950 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
951 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
952 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
953 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
954 "high memory".
955
956 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
957 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
958 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
959 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
960 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
961 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
962 possible.
963
964 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
965 answer "4GB" here.
966
967 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
968 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
969 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
970 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
971 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
972 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
973
974 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
975 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
976 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
977 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
978 kernel at boot time.)
979
980 If unsure, say "off".

1007 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1008 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1009 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1010 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1011 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1012 available to user programs, making the address space there
1013 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1014 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1250 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1251 ---help---
1252 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1253 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1254 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1255 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1256 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1257 coprocessor or this emulation.
1258
1259 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1260 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1261 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1262 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1263 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1264 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1265 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1266 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1267
1268 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1269 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1270
1271 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1272 kernel, it won't hurt.

1274config MTRR
1275 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1276 ---help---
1277 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1278 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1279 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1280 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1281 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1282 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1283 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1284 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1285 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1286
1287 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1288 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1289 as well:
1290
1291 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1292 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1293 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1294 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1295 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1296 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1297 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1298
1299 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1300 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1301 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1302
1303 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1304 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1452 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1453 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1454 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1455 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1456 address.
1457
1458 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1459 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1460 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1461 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1462 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1463 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1464 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1465 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1466
1467 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1468 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1469 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1470 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1471 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1472 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1473 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1474 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1475 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1476
1477 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1478 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1479 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1480 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1481 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1482 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1630 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1631 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1632 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1633 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1634 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1635 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1636
1637 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1638 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1639
1640 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1641 machines with more than one CPU.
1642
1643 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001644 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001645 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1646 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1647
1648 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1649 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1650 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1651
1652 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1653 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1654 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1655 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1656
1657 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1658 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1659 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1660 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1661 APM in your BIOS).
1662
1663 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1664 "weird" problems:
1665
1666 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1667 enabled.
1668 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1669 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1670 the "no387" option to the kernel
1671 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1672 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1673 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1674 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1675 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1676 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1677 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1678 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1679 11) exchange RAM chips
1680 12) exchange the motherboard.
1681
1682 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1683 module will be called apm.

1698 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1699 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1700 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1701 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1702 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1703 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1704 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1705 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1706 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1707 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1708 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1709 this feature.

1729 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1730 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

1783 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001919 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1920 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1921 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1922 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001929 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1930 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1931 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1932 for other scx200_* drivers.
1933
1934 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001941 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1942 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1943 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1944 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1945 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001952 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1953 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1954 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1955 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
