507 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
508 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
509 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
510 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
511 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
512 "high memory".
513
514 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
515 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
516 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
517 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
518 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
519 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
520 possible.
521
522 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
523 answer "4GB" here.
524
525 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
526 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
527 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
528 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
529 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
530 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
531
532 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
533 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
534 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
535 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

564 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
565 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
566 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
567 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
568 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
569 available to user programs, making the address space there
570 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

692 ---help---
693 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point

695 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
696 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
697 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
698 coprocessor or this emulation.
699
700 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
701 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
702 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
703 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
704 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
705 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
706 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
707 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
708
709 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
710 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

716 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
717 ---help---
718 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
719 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
720 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
721 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
722 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
723 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
724 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
725 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
726 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
727
728 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
729 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
730 as well:
731
732 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
733 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
734 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
735 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
736 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
737 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
738 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
739
740 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
741 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
742 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
743
744 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
745 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

836 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
837
838 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
839 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
840 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
841 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
842 address.
843
844 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
845 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
846 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
847 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
848 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
849 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
850 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
851 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
852
853 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
854 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
855 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
856 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
857 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
858 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
859 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
860 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
861 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
862
863 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
864 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
865 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
866 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
867 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
868 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
869 line.
870
871 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

946 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
947 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
948 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
949 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
950 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
951 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
952
953 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
954 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
955
956 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
957 machines with more than one CPU.
958
959 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
960 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
961 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
962 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
963
964 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
965 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
966 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
967
968 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
969 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
970 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
971 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
972
973 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
974 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
975 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
976 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
977 APM in your BIOS).
978
979 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
980 "weird" problems:
981
982 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
983 enabled.
984 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
985 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
986 the "no387" option to the kernel
987 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
988 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
989 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
990 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
991 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
992 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
993 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
994 10) install a better fan for the CPU
995 11) exchange RAM chips
996 12) exchange the motherboard.
997
998 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
999 module will be called apm.

1249 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
1250 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
1251 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
1252 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
1253 If in doubt, say "N".
