213 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
214 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
215 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
216
217 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
218 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
219 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
220 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
221 will run faster if you say N here.
222
223 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
224 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
225 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
226 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
227
228 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
229 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
230 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

622 your system. An IOMMU is a hardware component which provides
623 remapping of DMA memory accesses from devices. With an AMD IOMMU you
624 can isolate the the DMA memory of different devices and protect the
625 system from misbehaving device drivers or hardware.
626
627 You can find out if your system has an AMD IOMMU if you look into
628 your BIOS for an option to enable it or if you have an IVRS ACPI
629 table.

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200743 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
744 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
745 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
746 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
747
748 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
749 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
750 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
751 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
752 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
753 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
754 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
755 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
756 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
757 down (vital) interrupt lines.
758
759 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
760 increased on these systems.

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

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

1005 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1006 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1007 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1008 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1009 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1010 available to user programs, making the address space there
1011 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1012 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1257 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1258 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1259 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1260 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1261 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1262 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1263 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1264 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1265
1266 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1267 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1268
1269 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1270 kernel, it won't hurt.

1272config MTRR
1273 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1274 ---help---
1275 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1276 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1277 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1278 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1279 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1280 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1281 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1282 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1283 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1284
1285 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1286 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1287 as well:
1288
1289 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1290 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1291 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1292 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1293 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1294 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1295 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1296
1297 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1298 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1299 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1300
1301 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1302 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1450 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1451 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1452 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1453 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1454 address.
1455
1456 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1457 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1458 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1459 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1460 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1461 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1462 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1463 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1464
1465 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1466 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1467 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1468 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1469 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1470 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1471 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1472 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1473 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1474
1475 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1476 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1477 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1478 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1479 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1480 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1628 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1629 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1630 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1631 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1632 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1633 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1634
1635 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1636 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1637
1638 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1639 machines with more than one CPU.
1640
1641 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001642 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001643 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1644 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1645
1646 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1647 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1648 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1649
1650 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1651 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1652 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1653 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1654
1655 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1656 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1657 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1658 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1659 APM in your BIOS).
1660
1661 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1662 "weird" problems:
1663
1664 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1665 enabled.
1666 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1667 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1668 the "no387" option to the kernel
1669 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1670 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1671 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1672 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1673 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1674 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1675 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1676 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1677 11) exchange RAM chips
1678 12) exchange the motherboard.
1679
1680 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1681 module will be called apm.

1696 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1697 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1698 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1699 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1700 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1701 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1702 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1703 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1704 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1705 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1706 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1707 this feature.

1714 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1715 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1716 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1725 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1726 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1727 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1728 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1729 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1771 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1772 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1773 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1774 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1775 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1777 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1781 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the

1943 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1944 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001951 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1952 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1953 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1954 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
