276 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

278 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
279 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
280 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
281 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
282 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
283 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
284 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
285 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

406 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
407 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
408 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
409 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
410 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
411 "high memory".
412
413 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
414 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
415 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
416 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
417 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
418 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
419 possible.
420
421 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
422 answer "4GB" here.
423
424 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
425 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
426 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
427 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
428 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
429 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
430
431 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
432 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
433 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
434 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

569config MATH_EMULATION
570 bool "Math emulation"
571 ---help---
572 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
573 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
574 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
575 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
576 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
577 coprocessor or this emulation.
578
579 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
580 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
581 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
582 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
583 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
584 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
585 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
586 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
587
588 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
589 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

594config MTRR
595 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
596 ---help---
597 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
598 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
599 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
600 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
601 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
602 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
603 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
604 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
605 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
606
607 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
608 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
609 as well:
610
611 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
612 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
613 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
614 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
615 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
616 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
617 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
618
619 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
620 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
621 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
622
623 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
624 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

773 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
774 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
775 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
776 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
777 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
778 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
779
780 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
781 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
782
783 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
784 machines with more than one CPU.
785
786 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
787 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
788 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
789 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
790
791 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
792 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
793 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
794
795 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
796 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
797 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
798 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
799
800 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
801 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
802 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
803 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
804 APM in your BIOS).
805
806 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
807 "weird" problems:
808
809 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
810 enabled.
811 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
812 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
813 the "no387" option to the kernel
814 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
815 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
816 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
817 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
818 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
819 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
820 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
821 10) install a better fan for the CPU
822 11) exchange RAM chips
823 12) exchange the motherboard.

844 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
845 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
846 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
847 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
848 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
849 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

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

1004 ---help---
1005 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1006 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1007
1008 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1009 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1010 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1011 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1012
1013 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1014
1015 Otherwise, say N.

1023 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1024 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1025 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1026 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1034 This provides basic support for the National Semiconductor SCx200
1035 processor. Right now this is just a driver for the GPIO pins.
1036
1037 If you don't know what to do here, say N.
1038
1039 This support is also available as a module. If compiled as a
1040 module, it will be called scx200.

1069 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
1070 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
1071 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
1072 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
1073 If in doubt, say "N".
