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.

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

1027
1028 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1029 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1030 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1031 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1032 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1033 available to user programs, making the address space there
1034 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1035 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1271 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1272 ---help---
1273 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1274 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1275 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1276 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1277 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1278 coprocessor or this emulation.
1279
1280 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1281 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1282 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1283 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1284 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1285 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1286 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1287 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1288
1289 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1290 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1295config MTRR
1296 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1297 ---help---
1298 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1299 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1300 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1301 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1302 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1303 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1304 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1305 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1306 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1307
1308 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1309 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1310 as well:
1311
1312 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1313 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1314 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1315 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1316 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1317 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1318 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1319
1320 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1321 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1322 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1323
1324 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1325 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1473 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1474 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical

1476
1477 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1478 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1479 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1480 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1481 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1482 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1483 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1484 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1485
H. Peter Anvinceefccc2009-05-11 16:12:16 -07001486 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1487 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1488 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1489 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1490 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1491 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1492 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1493 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1494 for more details about crash dumps.
Sam Ravnborg506f1d02007-11-09 21:56:54 +01001495
1496 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1497 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1498 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1499 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1500 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1501 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1502 line.

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

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.

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 +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.
