210 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
211 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
212 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
213
214 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
215 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
216 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
217 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
218 will run faster if you say N here.
219
220 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
221 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
222 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
223 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
224
225 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
226 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
227 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

685 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
686 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
687 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
688 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
689
690 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
691 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
692 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
693 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
694 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
695 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
696 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
697 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
698 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
699 down (vital) interrupt lines.

701 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
702 increased on these systems.

708 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

710 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
711 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
712 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
713 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
714 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
715 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
716 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
717 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
718 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

890 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
891 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
892 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
893 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
894 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
895 "high memory".
896
897 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
898 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
899 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
900 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
901 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
902 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
903 possible.
904
905 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
906 answer "4GB" here.
907
908 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
909 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
910 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
911 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
912 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
913 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
914
915 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
916 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
917 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
918 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1143 Periodically check for memory corruption in low memory, which
1144 is suspected to be caused by BIOS. Even when enabled in the
1145 configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
1146 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command

1148 seconds; see the memory_corruption_check_size and

1150 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to adjust this.

1152 When enabled with the default parameters, this option has

1192 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1193 ---help---
1194 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1195 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1196 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1197 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1198 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1199 coprocessor or this emulation.
1200
1201 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1202 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1203 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1204 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1205 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1206 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1207 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1208 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1209
1210 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1211 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1216config MTRR
1217 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1218 ---help---
1219 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1220 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1221 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1222 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1223 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1224 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1225 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1226 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1227 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1228
1229 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1230 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1231 as well:
1232
1233 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1234 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1235 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1236 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1237 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1238 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1239 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1240
1241 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1242 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1243 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1244
1245 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1246 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1393 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1394
1395 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1396 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1397 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1398 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1399 address.
1400
1401 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1402 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1403 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1404 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1405 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1406 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1407 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1408 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1409
1410 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1411 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1412 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1413 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1414 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1415 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1416 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1417 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1418 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1419
1420 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1421 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1422 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1423 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1424 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1425 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1426 line.
1427
1428 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

1574 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1575 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1576 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1577 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1578 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1579 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1580
1581 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1582 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1583
1584 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1585 machines with more than one CPU.
1586
1587 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001588 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001589 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1590 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1591
1592 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1593 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1594 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1595
1596 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1597 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1598 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1599 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1600
1601 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1602 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1603 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1604 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1605 APM in your BIOS).
1606
1607 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1608 "weird" problems:
1609
1610 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1611 enabled.
1612 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1613 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1614 the "no387" option to the kernel
1615 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1616 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1617 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1618 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1619 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1620 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1621 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1622 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1623 11) exchange RAM chips
1624 12) exchange the motherboard.

1627 module will be called apm.

1650 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

1661 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

1800 thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled. This
1801 workaround will setup a 1:1 mapping for the first

1826 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1827 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1828 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1829 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1830 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1835 ---help---
1836 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1837 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1838
1839 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1840 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1841 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1842 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1843
1844 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1845
1846 Otherwise, say N.

1863 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1864 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1865 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1866 for other scx200_* drivers.
