530 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the

688 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
689 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
690 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
691 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
692 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
693 "high memory".
694
695 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
696 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
697 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
698 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
699 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
700 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
701 possible.
702
703 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
704 answer "4GB" here.
705
706 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
707 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
708 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
709 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
710 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
711 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
712
713 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
714 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
715 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
716 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

912 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
913 ---help---
914 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
915 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
916 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
917 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
918 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
919 coprocessor or this emulation.
920
921 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
922 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
923 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
924 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
925 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
926 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
927 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
928 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
929
930 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
931 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
932
933 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger

936config MTRR
937 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
938 ---help---
939 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
940 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
941 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
942 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
943 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
944 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
945 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
946 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
947 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
948
949 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
950 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
951 as well:
952
953 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
954 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
955 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
956 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
957 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
958 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
959 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
960
961 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
962 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
963 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
964
965 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
966 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1084 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1085 address.
1086
1087 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1088 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1089 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1090 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1091 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1092 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1093 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1094 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1095
1096 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1097 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1098 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1099 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1100 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1101 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1102 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1103 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1104 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1105
1106 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1107 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1108 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1109 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1110 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1111 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1112 line.

1211 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1212 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1213 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1214 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1215 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1216 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1217
1218 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1219 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1220
1221 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1222 machines with more than one CPU.
1223
1224 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1225 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1226 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1227 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1229 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1230 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1231 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1232
1233 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1234 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1235 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1236 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1237
1238 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1239 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1240 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1241 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1242 APM in your BIOS).
1243
1244 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1245 "weird" problems:
1246
1247 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1248 enabled.
1249 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1250 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1251 the "no387" option to the kernel
1252 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1253 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1254 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1255 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1256 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1257 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1258 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1259 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1260 11) exchange RAM chips

1293 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1294 help
1295 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1296 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1297 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1298 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1299 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1300 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1301 this option does nothing.)

1307 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1308 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1309 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1310 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1311 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1312 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1365 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1366 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1367 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1368 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1369 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1370
1371 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1372 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1373 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1374 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1375 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1376 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1377 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
