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

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

889 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
890 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
891 available to user programs, making the address space there
892 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

1075 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you

1077 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

1092 ---help---
1093 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1094 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1095 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1096 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1097 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1098 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1099 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1100 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1101 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1102
1103 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1104 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1105 as well:
1106
1107 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1108 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1109 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1110 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1111 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1112 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1113 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1114
1115 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1116 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1117 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1118
1119 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1120 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1239 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1240 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1241 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1242 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.

1280 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1281
1282 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1283 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1284 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1285 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1286 address.
1287
1288 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1289 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1290 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1291 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1292 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1293 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1294 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1295 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1296
1297 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1298 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1299 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1300 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1301 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1302 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1303 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1304 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1305 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1306
1307 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1308 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1309 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1310 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1311 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1312 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1313 line.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001456 ---help---
1457 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1458 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1459 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1460 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1461 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1462 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1463
1464 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1465 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1466
1467 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1468 machines with more than one CPU.
1469
1470 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001471 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001472 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1473 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1474
1475 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1476 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1477 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1478
1479 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1480 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1481 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1482 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1483
1484 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1485 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1486 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1487 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1488 APM in your BIOS).
1489
1490 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1491 "weird" problems:
1492
1493 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1494 enabled.
1495 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1496 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1497 the "no387" option to the kernel
1498 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1499 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1500 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1501 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1502 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1503 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1504 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1505 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1506 11) exchange RAM chips
1507 12) exchange the motherboard.
1508
1509 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1510 module will be called apm.

1514config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND
1515 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
1516 help
1517 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
1518 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
1519 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.
1520
1521config APM_DO_ENABLE
1522 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1523 ---help---
1524 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1525 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1526 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1527 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1528 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1529 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1530 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1531 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1532 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1533 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1534 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1535 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1536 this feature.
1537
1538config APM_CPU_IDLE
1539 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1540 help
1541 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1542 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1543 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1544 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1545 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1546 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1547 this option does nothing.)
1548
1549config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1550 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1551 help
1552 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1553 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1554 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1555 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1556 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1557 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1558 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1559 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1560 especially if you are using gpm.
1561
1562config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1563 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1564 help
1565 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1566 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1567 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1568 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1569 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1570 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1571
1572config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF
1573 bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off"
1574 help
1575 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1576 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1577 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1605 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1606 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1607 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1608 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1609 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1610
1611 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1612 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1613 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1614 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1615 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1616 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1617 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
