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

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

532config MATH_EMULATION
533 bool "Math emulation"
534 ---help---
535 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
536 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
537 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
538 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
539 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
540 coprocessor or this emulation.
541
542 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
543 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
544 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
545 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
546 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
547 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
548 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
549 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
550
551 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
552 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.
553
554 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
555 kernel, it won't hurt.

557config MTRR
558 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
559 ---help---
560 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
561 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
562 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
563 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
564 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
565 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
566 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
567 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
568 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
569
570 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
571 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
572 as well:
573
574 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
575 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
576 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
577 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
578 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
579 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
580 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
581
582 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
583 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
584 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
585
586 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
587 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

731 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
732 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
733 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
734 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
735 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
736 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
737
738 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
739 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
740
741 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
742 machines with more than one CPU.
743
744 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
745 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
746 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
747 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
748
749 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
750 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
751 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
752
753 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
754 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
755 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
756 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
757
758 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
759 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
760 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
761 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
762 APM in your BIOS).
763
764 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
765 "weird" problems:
766
767 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
768 enabled.
769 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
770 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
771 the "no387" option to the kernel
772 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
773 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
774 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
775 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
776 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
777 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
778 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
779 10) install a better fan for the CPU
780 11) exchange RAM chips
781 12) exchange the motherboard.

801 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
802 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
803 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
804 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
805 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
806 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
807 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
808 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

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

1025 help
1026 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
1027 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
1028 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
1029 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
1030 If in doubt, say "N".
