215 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
216 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
217 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
218
219 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
220 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
221 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
222 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
223 will run faster if you say N here.
224
225 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
226 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
227 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
228 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
229
230 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
231 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
232 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

826 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
827 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
828 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
829 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
830 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
831 "high memory".
832
833 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
834 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
835 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
836 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
837 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
838 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
839 possible.
840
841 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
842 answer "4GB" here.
843
844 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
845 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
846 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
847 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
848 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
849 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
850
851 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
852 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
853 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
854 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
855 kernel at boot time.)

887 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
888 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
889 available to user programs, making the address space there
890 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

1114 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1115 ---help---
1116 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1117 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1118 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1119 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1120 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1121 coprocessor or this emulation.
1122
1123 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1124 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1125 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1126 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1127 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1128 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1129 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1130 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1131
1132 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1133 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1134
1135 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1136 kernel, it won't hurt.

1138config MTRR
1139 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1140 ---help---
1141 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1142 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1143 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1144 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1145 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1146 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1147 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1148 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1149 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1150
1151 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1152 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1153 as well:
1154
1155 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1156 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1157 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1158 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1159 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1160 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1161 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1162
1163 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1164 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1165 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1166
1167 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1168 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.
1169

1334 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1335 address.
1336
1337 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1338 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1339 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1340 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1341 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1342 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1343 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1344 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1345
1346 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1347 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1348 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1349 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1350 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1351 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1352 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1353 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1354 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1355
1356 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1357 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1358 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1359 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1360 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1361 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1461 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1462 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1463 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1464 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1465 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1466 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1467
1468 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1469 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1470
1471 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1472 machines with more than one CPU.
1473
1474 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001475 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001476 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1477 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1478
1479 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1480 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1481 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1482
1483 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1484 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1485 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1486 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1487
1488 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1489 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1490 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1491 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1492 APM in your BIOS).
1493
1494 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1495 "weird" problems:
1496
1497 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1498 enabled.
1499 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1500 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1501 the "no387" option to the kernel
1502 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1503 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1504 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1505 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1506 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1507 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1508 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1509 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1510 11) exchange RAM chips
1511 12) exchange the motherboard.
1512
1513 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1514 module will be called apm.

1519 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
1520 help
1521 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
1522 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
1523 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.

1525config APM_DO_ENABLE
1526 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1527 ---help---
1528 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1529 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1530 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1531 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1532 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1533 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1534 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1535 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1536 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1537 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1538 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1539 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1540 this feature.
1541
1542config APM_CPU_IDLE
1543 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1544 help
1545 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1546 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1547 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1548 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1549 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1550 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1551 this option does nothing.)

1555 help
1556 Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to
1557 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1558 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1559 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1560 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1561 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1562 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1563 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1564 especially if you are using gpm.
1565
1566config APM_ALLOW_INTS
1567 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1568 help
1569 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1570 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1571 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1572 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1573 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1574 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.
1575
1576config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF

1580 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1581 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1609 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1610 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1611 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1612 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1613 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1614
1615 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1616 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1617 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1618 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1619 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1620 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1621 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
