184 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
185 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"

376 Use the IA-PC HPET (High Precision Event Timer) to manage
377 time in preference to the PIT and RTC, if a HPET is
378 present.
379 HPET is the next generation timer replacing legacy 8254s.
380 The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
381 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
382 as it is off-chip. You can find the HPET spec at
383 <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.
384
385 You can safely choose Y here. However, HPET will only be
386 activated if the platform and the BIOS support this feature.

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

691 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
692 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
693 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
694 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
695 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
696 "high memory".
697
698 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
699 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
700 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
701 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
702 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
703 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
704 possible.
705
706 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
707 answer "4GB" here.

709 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
710 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
711 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

713 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
714 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
715
716 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be

916 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
917 ---help---
918 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
919 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
920 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
921 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
922 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
923 coprocessor or this emulation.
924
925 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
926 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
927 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
928 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
929 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
930 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
931 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
932 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
933
934 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
935 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
936
937 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
938 kernel, it won't hurt.

940config MTRR
941 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
942 ---help---
943 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
944 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
945 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
946 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
947 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
948 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
949 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
950 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
951 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
952
953 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
954 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
955 as well:
956
957 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
958 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
959 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
960 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
961 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
962 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
963 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
964
965 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
966 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
967 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
968
969 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
970 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1088 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1089 address.
1090
1091 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1092 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1093 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1094 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1095 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1096 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1097 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1098 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1099
1100 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1101 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1102 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1103 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1104 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1105 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1106 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1107 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1108 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1109
1110 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1111 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1112 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1113 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1114 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1115 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1116 line.

1215 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1216 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1217 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1218 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1219 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1220 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1221
1222 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1223 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1224
1225 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1226 machines with more than one CPU.
1227
1228 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1229 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1230 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1231 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1233 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1234 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1235 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1236
1237 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1238 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1239 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1240 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1241
1242 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1243 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1244 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1245 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1246 APM in your BIOS).
1247
1248 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1249 "weird" problems:
1250
1251 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1252 enabled.
1253 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1254 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1255 the "no387" option to the kernel
1256 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1257 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1258 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1259 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1260 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1261 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1262 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1263 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1264 11) exchange RAM chips

1279config APM_DO_ENABLE
1280 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1281 ---help---
1282 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1283 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1284 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1285 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1286 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1287 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1288 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1289 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1290 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1291 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1292 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1293 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1294 this feature.
1295
1296config APM_CPU_IDLE
1297 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1298 help
1299 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1300 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1301 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1302 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1303 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1304 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1305 this option does nothing.)

1307config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK
1308 bool "Enable console blanking using APM"
1309 help
1310 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1311 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1312 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1313 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1314 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1315 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1316 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1317 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1318 especially if you are using gpm.
1319
1320config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1321 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1322 help
1323 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1324 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1325 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1326 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1327 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1328 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1334 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1335 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1368 ---help---
1369 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1370 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1371 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1372 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1373 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1374
1375 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1376 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1377 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1378 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1379 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1380 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1381 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
