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

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200745 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
746 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
747 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
748 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
749
750 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
751 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
752 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
753 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
754 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
755 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
756 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
757 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
758 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
759 down (vital) interrupt lines.
760
761 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
762 increased on these systems.

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

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

1017
1018 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1019 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1020 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1021 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1022 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1023 available to user programs, making the address space there
1024 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1025 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1261 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1262 ---help---
1263 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1264 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1265 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1266 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1267 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1268 coprocessor or this emulation.
1269
1270 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1271 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1272 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1273 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1274 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1275 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1276 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1277 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1278
1279 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1280 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1285config MTRR
1286 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1287 ---help---
1288 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1289 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1290 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1291 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1292 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1293 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1294 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1295 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1296 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1297
1298 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1299 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1300 as well:
1301
1302 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1303 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1304 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1305 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1306 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1307 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1308 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1309
1310 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1311 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1312 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1313
1314 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1315 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1466 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1467 address.
1468
1469 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1470 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1471 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1472 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1473 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1474 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1475 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1476 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1477
1478 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1479 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1480 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1481 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1482 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1483 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1484 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1485 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1486 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1487
1488 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1489 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1490 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1491 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1492 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1493 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1641 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1642 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1643 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1644 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1645 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1646 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1647
1648 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1649 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1650
1651 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1652 machines with more than one CPU.
1653
1654 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001655 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001656 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1657 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1658
1659 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1660 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1661 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1662
1663 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1664 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1665 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1666 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1667
1668 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1669 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1670 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1671 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1672 APM in your BIOS).
1673
1674 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1675 "weird" problems:
1676
1677 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1678 enabled.
1679 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1680 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1681 the "no387" option to the kernel
1682 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1683 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1684 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1685 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1686 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1687 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1688 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1689 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1690 11) exchange RAM chips
1691 12) exchange the motherboard.
1692
1693 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1694 module will be called apm.

1710 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1711 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1712 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1713 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1714 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1715 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1716 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1717 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1718 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1719 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1720 this feature.

1727 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1728 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1729 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1738 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1739 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1740 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1741 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1742 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1751 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1752 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

1784 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1785 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1786 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1787 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1788 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1790 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1792 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you

1794 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1795 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1796 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1904 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1905 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1906 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1907 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1912 ---help---
1913 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1914 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1915
1916 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1917 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1918 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1919 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1920
1921 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1922
1923 Otherwise, say N.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001930 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1931 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1932 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1933 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001940 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1941 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1942 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1943 for other scx200_* drivers.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001952 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1953 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1954 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1955 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1956 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1964 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1965 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1966 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
