276 ---help---
277 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
278 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
279 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
280 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
281 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
282 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
283 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
284 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
285 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
286
287 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
288 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
289 as well.
290
291 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
292 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
293 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
294
295 Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

542 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
543 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
Matt LaPlante1f1332f2006-06-29 01:32:47 -0400544 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
Eric W. Biederman5234f5e2005-06-25 14:58:02 -0700545 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
546
Matt LaPlante1f1332f2006-06-29 01:32:47 -0400547 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.

550 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
551 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging

590
591 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
592 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
593 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
594 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
595 address.
596
597 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
598 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
599 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
600 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
601 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
602 vmlinux instead.
603
604 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
605 the value here unchanged to 0x200000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
606 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
607 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
608 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
Maneesh Soni05970d42006-01-09 20:51:52 -0800609 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
610 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
611 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
612 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
613
Vivek Goyal1ab60e02007-05-02 19:27:07 +0200614 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is advantageous as
615 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
616 as production kernel and capture kernel.
617
Maneesh Soni05970d42006-01-09 20:51:52 -0800618 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

645 overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
646 overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
647 neutralized via a kernel panic.
