210 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
211 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
212 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
213
214 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
215 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
216 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
217 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
218 will run faster if you say N here.
219
220 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
221 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
222 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
223 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
224
225 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
226 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
227 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

702 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
703 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
704 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
705 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
706
707 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
708 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
709 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
710 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
711 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
712 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
713 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
714 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
715 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
716 down (vital) interrupt lines.

719 increased on these systems.

Sam Ravnborg506f1d02007-11-09 21:56:54 +0100723 ---help---
724 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
725 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
726 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
727 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
728 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
729 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
730 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
731 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
732 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
733 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
734 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
735 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

906 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
907 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
908 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
909 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
910 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
911 "high memory".
912
913 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
914 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
915 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
916 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
917 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
918 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
919 possible.
920
921 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
922 answer "4GB" here.
923
924 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
925 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
926 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
927 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
928 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
929 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
930
931 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
932 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
933 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
934 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1160 is suspected to be caused by BIOS. Even when enabled in the
1161 configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
1162 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command

1166 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to adjust this.

1168 When enabled with the default parameters, this option has
1169 almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount
1170 of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
1171 and prevents it from affecting the running system.

1173 It is, however, intended as a diagnostic tool; if repeatable
1174 BIOS-originated corruption always affects the same memory,
1175 you can use memmap= to prevent the kernel from using that

1208 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1209 ---help---
1210 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1211 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1212 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1213 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1214 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1215 coprocessor or this emulation.
1216
1217 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1218 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1219 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1220 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1221 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1222 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1223 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1224 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1225
1226 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1227 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1232config MTRR
1233 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1234 ---help---
1235 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1236 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1237 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1238 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1239 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1240 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1241 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1242 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1243 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1244
1245 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1246 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1247 as well:
1248
1249 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1250 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1251 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1252 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1253 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1254 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1255 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1256
1257 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1258 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1259 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1260
1261 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1262 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1412 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1413 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1414 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1415 address.
1416
1417 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1418 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1419 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1420 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1421 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1422 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1423 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1424 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1425
1426 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1427 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1428 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1429 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1430 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1431 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1432 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1433 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1434 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1435
1436 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1437 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1438 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1439 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1440 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1441 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1442 line.
1443
1444 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

1589 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1590 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1591 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1592 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1593 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1594 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1595
1596 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1597 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1598
1599 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1600 machines with more than one CPU.
1601
1602 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001603 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001604 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1605 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1606
1607 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1608 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1609 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1610
1611 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1612 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1613 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1614 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1615
1616 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1617 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1618 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1619 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1620 APM in your BIOS).
1621
1622 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1623 "weird" problems:
1624
1625 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1626 enabled.
1627 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1628 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1629 the "no387" option to the kernel
1630 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1631 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1632 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1633 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1634 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1635 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1636 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1637 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1638 11) exchange RAM chips
1639 12) exchange the motherboard.

1642 module will be called apm.

1662 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1663 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1664 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1665 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1666 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1676 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

1815 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1816 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1840 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1841 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1842 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1843 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1844 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1849 ---help---
1850 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1851 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1852
1853 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1854 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1855 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1856 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1857
1858 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1859
1860 Otherwise, say N.

1877 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
