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

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200743 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
744 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
745 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
746 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
747
748 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
749 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
750 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
751 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
752 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
753 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
754 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
755 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
756 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
757 down (vital) interrupt lines.
758
759 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
760 increased on these systems.

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

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

1015
1016 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1017 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1018 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1019 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1020 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1021 available to user programs, making the address space there
1022 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1023 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1259 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1260 ---help---
1261 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1262 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1263 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1264 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1265 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1266 coprocessor or this emulation.
1267
1268 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1269 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1270 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1271 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1272 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1273 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1274 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1275 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1276
1277 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1278 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1279
1280 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1281 kernel, it won't hurt.

1283config MTRR
1284 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1285 ---help---
1286 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1287 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1288 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1289 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1290 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1291 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1292 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1293 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1294 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1295
1296 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1297 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1298 as well:
1299
1300 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1301 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1302 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1303 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1304 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1305 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1306 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1307
1308 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1309 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1310 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1311
1312 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1313 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1463 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1464 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1465 address.
1466
1467 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1468 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1469 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1470 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1471 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1472 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1473 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1474 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1475
1476 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1477 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1478 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1479 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1480 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1481 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1482 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1483 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1484 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1485
1486 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1487 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1488 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1489 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1490 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1491 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1639 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1640 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1641 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1642 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1643 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1644 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1645
1646 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1647 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1648
1649 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1650 machines with more than one CPU.
1651
1652 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001653 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001654 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1655 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1656
1657 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1658 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1659 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1660
1661 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1662 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1663 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1664 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1665
1666 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1667 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1668 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1669 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1670 APM in your BIOS).
1671
1672 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1673 "weird" problems:
1674
1675 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1676 enabled.
1677 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1678 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1679 the "no387" option to the kernel
1680 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1681 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1682 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1683 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1684 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1685 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1686 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1687 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1688 11) exchange RAM chips
1689 12) exchange the motherboard.
1690
1691 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1692 module will be called apm.

1708 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1709 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1710 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1711 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1712 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1713 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1714 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1715 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1716 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1717 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1718 this feature.

1736 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1737 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1738 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1739 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1740 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1782 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1783 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1784 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1785 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1786 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1788 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1790 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you

1792 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1793 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1794 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001929 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1930 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1931 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1932 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001939 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1940 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1941 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1942 for other scx200_* drivers.
1943
1944 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001951 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1952 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1953 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1954 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1955 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001962 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1963 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1964 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1965 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
