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

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200702 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
703 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
704 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
705 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
706
707 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
708 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
709 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
710 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
711 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
712 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
713 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
714 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
715 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
716 down (vital) interrupt lines.
717
718 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
719 increased on these systems.

724 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
725 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
726 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
727 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
728 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
729 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
730 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
731 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
732 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
733 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
734 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
735 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

906 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
907 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
908 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
909 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
910 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
911 "high memory".
912
913 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
914 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
915 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
916 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
917 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
918 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
919 possible.
920
921 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
922 answer "4GB" here.
923
924 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
925 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
926 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

928 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,

963
964 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
965 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
966 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
967 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
968 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
969 available to user programs, making the address space there
970 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
971 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only
972 kernel modules.

1213 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1214 coprocessor or this emulation.
1215
1216 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1217 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1218 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

1220 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot

1233 ---help---
1234 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1235 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1236 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1237 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1238 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1239 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1240 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1241 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1242 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1243
1244 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1245 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1246 as well:
1247
1248 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1249 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1250 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1251 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1252 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1253 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1254 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1255
1256 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1257 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1258 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1259
1260 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1261 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1408
1409 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1410 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1411 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1412 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1413 address.
1414
1415 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1416 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1417 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1418 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1419 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1420 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1421 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1422 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1423
1424 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1425 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1426 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1427 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1428 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1429 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1430 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1431 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1432 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1433
1434 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1435 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1436 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1437 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1438 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1439 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1440 line.

1587 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1588 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1589 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1590 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1591 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1592 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1593
1594 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1595 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1596
1597 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1598 machines with more than one CPU.
1599
1600 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001601 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001602 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1603 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1604
1605 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1606 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1607 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1608
1609 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1610 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1611 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1612 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1613
1614 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1615 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1616 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1617 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1618 APM in your BIOS).
1619
1620 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1621 "weird" problems:
1622
1623 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1624 enabled.
1625 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1626 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1627 the "no387" option to the kernel
1628 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1629 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1630 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1631 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1632 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1633 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1634 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1635 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1636 11) exchange RAM chips
1637 12) exchange the motherboard.
1638
1639 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1640 module will be called apm.

1654 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1655 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1656 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1657 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1658 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1659 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1660 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1661 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1662 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1663 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1664 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1665 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1666 this feature.

1672 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1673 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1674 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1675 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1683 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1684 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1685 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1686 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1687 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1688 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1730 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1731 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1732 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1733 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1734 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1736 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1738 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you

1740 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
