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

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200716 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
717 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
718 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
719 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
720
721 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
722 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
723 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
724 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
725 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
726 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
727 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
728 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
729 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
730 down (vital) interrupt lines.
731
732 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
733 increased on these systems.

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

920 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
921 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
922 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
923 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
924 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
925 "high memory".
926
927 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
928 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
929 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
930 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
931 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
932 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
933 possible.
934
935 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
936 answer "4GB" here.
937
938 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This

943 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!

945 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
946 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
947 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
948 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
949 kernel at boot time.)

978 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
979 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
980 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
981 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
982 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
983 available to user programs, making the address space there
984 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
985 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only
986 kernel modules.

1256 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1257
1258 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1259 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1260 as well:
1261
1262 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1263 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1264 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1265 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1266 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1267 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1268 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1269
1270 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1271 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1272 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1273
1274 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1275 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1422
1423 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1424 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1425 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1426 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1427 address.
1428
1429 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1430 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1431 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1432 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1433 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1434 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1435 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1436 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1437
1438 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1439 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1440 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1441 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1442 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1443 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1444 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1445 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1446 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1447
1448 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1449 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1450 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1451 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1452 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1453 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1454 line.

1601 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1602 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1603 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1604 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1605 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1606 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1607
1608 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1609 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1610
1611 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1612 machines with more than one CPU.
1613
1614 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001615 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001616 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1617 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1618
1619 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1620 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1621 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1622
1623 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1624 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1625 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1626 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1627
1628 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1629 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1630 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1631 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1632 APM in your BIOS).
1633
1634 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1635 "weird" problems:
1636
1637 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1638 enabled.
1639 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1640 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1641 the "no387" option to the kernel
1642 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1643 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1644 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1645 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1646 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1647 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1648 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1649 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1650 11) exchange RAM chips
1651 12) exchange the motherboard.
1652
1653 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1654 module will be called apm.

1669 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1670 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1671 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1672 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1673 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1674 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1675 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1676 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1677 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1678 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1679 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1680 this feature.

1686 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1687 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1688 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1689 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1698 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1699 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1700 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1701 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

1744 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1745 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1746 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1747 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to

1754 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
