233 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
234 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
235 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
236
237 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
238 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
239 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
240 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
241 will run faster if you say N here.
242
243 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
244 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
245 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
246 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
247
248 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
249 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
250 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.

965 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
966 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
967 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
968 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
969 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
970 "high memory".
971
972 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
973 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
974 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
975 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
976 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
977 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
978 possible.
979
980 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
981 answer "4GB" here.
982
983 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
984 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
985 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
986 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
987 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
988 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
989
990 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
991 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
992 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
993 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
994 kernel at boot time.)
995
996 If unsure, say "off".

1022
1023 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1024 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1025 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1026 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1027 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1028 available to user programs, making the address space there
1029 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1030 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1266 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1267 ---help---
1268 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1269 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1270 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1271 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1272 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1273 coprocessor or this emulation.
1274
1275 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1276 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1277 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1278 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1279 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1280 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1281 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1282 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1283
1284 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1285 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1286

1290config MTRR
1291 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1292 ---help---
1293 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1294 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1295 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1296 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1297 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1298 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1299 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1300 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1301 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1302
1303 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1304 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1305 as well:
1306
1307 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1308 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1309 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1310 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1311 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1312 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1313 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1314
1315 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1316 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1317 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1318
1319 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1320 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1468 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1469 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical

1471
1472 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1473 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1474 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1475 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1476 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1477 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1478 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1479 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1480
H. Peter Anvinceefccc2009-05-11 16:12:16 -07001481 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1482 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1483 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1484 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1485 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1486 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1487 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1488 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1489 for more details about crash dumps.
Sam Ravnborg506f1d02007-11-09 21:56:54 +01001490
1491 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1492 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1493 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1494 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1495 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1496 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1648 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1649 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1650 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1651 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1652 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1653 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1654
1655 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1656 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1657
1658 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1659 machines with more than one CPU.
1660
1661 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001662 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001663 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1664 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1665
1666 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1667 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1668 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1669
1670 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1671 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1672 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1673 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1674
1675 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1676 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1677 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1678 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1679 APM in your BIOS).
1680
1681 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1682 "weird" problems:
1683
1684 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1685 enabled.
1686 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1687 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1688 the "no387" option to the kernel
1689 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1690 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1691 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1692 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1693 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1694 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1695 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1696 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1697 11) exchange RAM chips
1698 12) exchange the motherboard.
1699
1700 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1701 module will be called apm.

1717 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1718 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1719 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1720 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1721 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1722 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1723 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1724 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1725 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1726 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1727 this feature.

1734 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1735 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1736 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1745 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1746 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1747 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1748 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1749 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1758 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1759 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1801 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001910 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1911 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1912 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1913 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1914 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1919 ---help---
1920 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1921 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1922
1923 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1924 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1925 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1926 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1927
1928 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1929
1930 Otherwise, say N.

1939 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001947 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1948 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1949 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1950 for other scx200_* drivers.

1961 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1962 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1963 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1971 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1972 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1973 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
