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 +0200757 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
758 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
759 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
760 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
761
762 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
763 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
764 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
765 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
766 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
767 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
768 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
769 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
770 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
771 down (vital) interrupt lines.
772
773 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
774 increased on these systems.

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

972 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
973 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
974 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
975 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
976 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
977 "high memory".
978
979 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
980 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
981 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
982 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
983 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
984 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
985 possible.
986
987 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
988 answer "4GB" here.
989
990 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
991 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
992 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
993 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
994 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
995 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
996
997 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
998 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
999 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1000 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
1001 kernel at boot time.)

1030 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1031 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1032 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1033 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1034 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1035 available to user programs, making the address space there
1036 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1037 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1273 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1274 ---help---
1275 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1276 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1277 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1278 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1279 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1280 coprocessor or this emulation.
1281
1282 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1283 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1284 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1285 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1286 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1287 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1288 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1289 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1290
1291 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1292 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1297config MTRR
1298 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1299 ---help---
1300 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1301 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1302 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1303 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1304 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1305 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1306 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1307 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1308 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1309
1310 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1311 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1312 as well:
1313
1314 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1315 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1316 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1317 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1318 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1319 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1320 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1321
1322 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1323 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1324 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1325
1326 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1327 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1478 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1479 address.
1480
1481 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1482 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1483 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1484 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1485 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1486 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1487 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1488 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1489
1490 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1491 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1492 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1493 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1494 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1495 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1496 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1497 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1498 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1499
1500 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1501 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1502 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1503 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1504 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1505 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1653 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1654 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1655 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1656 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1657 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1658 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1659
1660 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1661 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1662
1663 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1664 machines with more than one CPU.
1665
1666 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001667 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001668 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1669 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1670
1671 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1672 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1673 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1674
1675 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1676 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1677 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1678 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1679
1680 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1681 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1682 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1683 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1684 APM in your BIOS).
1685
1686 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1687 "weird" problems:
1688
1689 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1690 enabled.
1691 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1692 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1693 the "no387" option to the kernel
1694 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1695 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1696 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1697 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1698 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1699 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1700 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1701 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1702 11) exchange RAM chips
1703 12) exchange the motherboard.
1704
1705 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1706 module will be called apm.

1721 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1722 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1723 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1724 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1725 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1726 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1727 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1728 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1729 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1730 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1731 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1732 this feature.

1739 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1740 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1741 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1750 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1751 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1752 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1753 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1754 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1763 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1764 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1796 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1797 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1798 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1799 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to

1806 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001915 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1916 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1917 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1918 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1919 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1922 bool "EISA support"
1923 depends on ISA
1924 ---help---
1925 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1926 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1927
1928 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1929 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1930 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1931 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1932
1933 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1934
1935 Otherwise, say N.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001942 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1943 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1944 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1945 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001952 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1953 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1954 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1955 for other scx200_* drivers.
1956
1957 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001964 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1965 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1966 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1967 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1968 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001975 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1976 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1977 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1978 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
