215 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
216 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
217 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
218
219 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
220 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
221 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
222 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
223 will run faster if you say N here.
224
225 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
226 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
227 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
228 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
229
230 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
231 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
232 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

832 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
833 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
834 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
835 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
836 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
837 "high memory".
838
839 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
840 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
841 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
842 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
843 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
844 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
845 possible.
846
847 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
848 answer "4GB" here.
849
850 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
851 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
852 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
853 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
854 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
855 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
856
857 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
858 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
859 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
860 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

894 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range

1106 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1107 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1108 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1109 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1110 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1111 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1112 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1113 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1114
1115 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1116 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1117 as well:
1118
1119 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1120 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1121 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1122 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1123 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1124 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1125 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1126
1127 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1128 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1129 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1130
1131 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1132 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1133
1134 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

1252 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your

1254 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot

1293 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.

1297 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1298 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1299 address.
1300
1301 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1302 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1303 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1304 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1305 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1306 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1307 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1308 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1309
1310 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1311 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1312 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1313 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1314 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1315 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1316 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1317 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1318 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1319
1320 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1321 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1322 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1323 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1324 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1325 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1326 line.

Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001484 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001485 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1486 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1487
1488 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1489 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1490 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1491
1492 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1493 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1494 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1495 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1496
1497 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1498 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1499 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1500 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1501 APM in your BIOS).
1502
1503 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1504 "weird" problems:
1505
1506 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1507 enabled.
1508 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1509 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1510 the "no387" option to the kernel
1511 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1512 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1513 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1514 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1515 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1516 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1517 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1518 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1519 11) exchange RAM chips
1520 12) exchange the motherboard.
1521
1522 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1523 module will be called apm.

1527config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND
1528 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
1529 help
1530 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
1531 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
1532 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.
1533
1534config APM_DO_ENABLE
1535 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1536 ---help---
1537 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1538 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1539 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1540 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1541 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1542 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1543 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1544 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1545 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1546 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1547 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1548 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1549 this feature.
1550
1551config APM_CPU_IDLE
1552 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1553 help
1554 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1555 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1556 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1557 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1558 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1559 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1560 this option does nothing.)
1561
1562config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1563 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1564 help
1565 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1566 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1567 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1568 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1569 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1570 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1571 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1572 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1573 especially if you are using gpm.
1574
1575config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1576 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1577 help
1578 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1579 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1580 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1581 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1582 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1583 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1584
1585config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1586 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1587 help
1588 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1589 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1590 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1618 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1619 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1620 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1621 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1622 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1623
1624 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1625 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1626 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1627 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1628 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1629 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1630 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
