282 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
283 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
284 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
285 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
286 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
287 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
288 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
289 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

410 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
411 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
412 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
413 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
414 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
415 "high memory".
416
417 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
418 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
419 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
420 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
421 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
422 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
423 possible.
424
425 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
426 answer "4GB" here.
427
428 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
429 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
430 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
431 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
432 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
433 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
434
435 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
436 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
437 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
438 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

573config MATH_EMULATION
574 bool "Math emulation"
575 ---help---
576 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
577 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
578 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
579 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
580 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
581 coprocessor or this emulation.
582
583 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
584 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
585 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
586 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
587 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
588 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
589 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
590 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
591
592 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
593 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

598config MTRR
599 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
600 ---help---
601 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
602 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
603 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
604 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
605 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
606 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
607 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
608 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
609 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
610
611 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
612 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
613 as well:
614
615 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
616 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
617 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
618 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
619 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
620 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
621 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
622
623 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
624 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
625 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
626
627 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
628 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

777 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
778 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
779 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
780 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
781 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
782 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
783
784 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
785 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
786
787 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
788 machines with more than one CPU.
789
790 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
791 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
792 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
793 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
794
795 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
796 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
797 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
798
799 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
800 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
801 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
802 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
803
804 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
805 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
806 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
807 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
808 APM in your BIOS).
809
810 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
811 "weird" problems:
812
813 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
814 enabled.
815 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
816 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
817 the "no387" option to the kernel
818 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
819 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
820 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
821 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
822 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
823 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
824 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
825 10) install a better fan for the CPU
826 11) exchange RAM chips
827 12) exchange the motherboard.

847 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
848 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
849 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
850 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
851 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
852 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
853 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

999 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1000 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1001 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1002 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1003 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1008 ---help---
1009 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1010 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1011
1012 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1013 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1014 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1015 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1016
1017 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1018
1019 Otherwise, say N.

1027 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1028 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1029 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1030 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1038 This provides basic support for the National Semiconductor SCx200
1039 processor. Right now this is just a driver for the GPIO pins.
1040
1041 If you don't know what to do here, say N.
1042
1043 This support is also available as a module. If compiled as a
1044 module, it will be called scx200.

1073 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
1074 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
1075 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
1076 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
1077 If in doubt, say "N".
