296 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
297 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
298 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
299 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
300 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
301 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
302 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
303 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

424 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
425 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
426 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
427 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
428 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
429 "high memory".
430
431 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
432 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
433 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
434 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
435 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
436 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
437 possible.
438
439 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
440 answer "4GB" here.
441
442 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
443 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
444 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
445 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
446 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
447 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
448
449 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
450 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
451 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
452 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

593config MATH_EMULATION
594 bool "Math emulation"
595 ---help---
596 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
597 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
598 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
599 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
600 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
601 coprocessor or this emulation.
602
603 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
604 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
605 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
606 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
607 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
608 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
609 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
610 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
611
612 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
613 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

618config MTRR
619 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
620 ---help---
621 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
622 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
623 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
624 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
625 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
626 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
627 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
628 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
629 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
630
631 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
632 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
633 as well:
634
635 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
636 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
637 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
638 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
639 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
640 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
641 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
642
643 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
644 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
645 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
646
647 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
648 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

788 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
789 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
790 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
791 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
792 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
793 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
794
795 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
796 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
797
798 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
799 machines with more than one CPU.
800
801 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
802 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
803 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
804 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
805
806 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
807 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
808 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
809
810 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
811 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
812 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
813 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
814
815 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
816 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
817 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
818 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
819 APM in your BIOS).
820
821 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
822 "weird" problems:
823
824 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
825 enabled.
826 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
827 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
828 the "no387" option to the kernel
829 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
830 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
831 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
832 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
833 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
834 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
835 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
836 10) install a better fan for the CPU
837 11) exchange RAM chips
838 12) exchange the motherboard.

856 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
857 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
858 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
859 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
860 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
861 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
862 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
863 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
864 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
865 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

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

964 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
965 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
966 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
967 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1010 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1011 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1012 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1013 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1014 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1019 ---help---
1020 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1021 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1022
1023 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1024 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1025 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1026 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1027
1028 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
1029
1030 Otherwise, say N.

1038 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1039 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1040 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1041 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

1049 This provides basic support for the National Semiconductor SCx200
1050 processor. Right now this is just a driver for the GPIO pins.

1052 If you don't know what to do here, say N.

1054 This support is also available as a module. If compiled as a
1055 module, it will be called scx200.

1088 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
1089 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
1090 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
1091 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
1092 If in doubt, say "N".
