221 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
222 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
223
224 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
225 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
226 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
227 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
228 will run faster if you say N here.
229
230 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
231 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
232 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
233 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
234
235 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
236 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
237 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200736 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
737 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
738 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
739 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
740
741 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
742 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
743 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
744 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
745 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
746 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
747 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
748 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
749 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
750 down (vital) interrupt lines.
751
752 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
753 increased on these systems.

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

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

1002
1003 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1004 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1005 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1006 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1007 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1008 available to user programs, making the address space there
1009 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1010 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1246 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1247 ---help---
1248 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1249 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1250 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1251 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1252 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1253 coprocessor or this emulation.
1254
1255 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1256 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1257 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1258 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1259 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1260 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1261 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1262 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1263
1264 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1265 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1266
1267 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1268 kernel, it won't hurt.

1270config MTRR
1271 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1272 ---help---
1273 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1274 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1275 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1276 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1277 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1278 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1279 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1280 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1281 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1282
1283 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1284 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1285 as well:
1286
1287 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1288 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1289 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1290 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1291 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1292 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1293 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1294
1295 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1296 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1297 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1298
1299 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1300 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1448 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1449 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1450 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1451 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1452 address.
1453
1454 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1455 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1456 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1457 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1458 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1459 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1460 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1461 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1462
1463 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1464 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1465 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1466 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1467 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1468 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1469 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1470 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1471 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1472
1473 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1474 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1475 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1476 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1477 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1478 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1626 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1627 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1628 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1629 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1630 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1631 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1632
1633 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1634 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1635
1636 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1637 machines with more than one CPU.
1638
1639 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001640 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001641 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1642 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1643
1644 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1645 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1646 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1647
1648 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1649 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1650 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1651 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1652
1653 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1654 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1655 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1656 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1657 APM in your BIOS).
1658
1659 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1660 "weird" problems:
1661
1662 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1663 enabled.
1664 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1665 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1666 the "no387" option to the kernel
1667 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1668 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1669 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1670 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1671 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1672 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1673 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1674 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1675 11) exchange RAM chips
1676 12) exchange the motherboard.
1677
1678 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1679 module will be called apm.

1695 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1696 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1697 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1698 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1699 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1700 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1701 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1702 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1703 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1769 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1770 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1771 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1772 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1773 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1775 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1777 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you

1779 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001916 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1917 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1918 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1919 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001926 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1927 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1928 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1929 for other scx200_* drivers.

1931 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001938 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1939 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1940 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1941 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1942 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001949 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1950 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1951 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1952 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
