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 +0200703 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
704 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
705 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
706 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
707
708 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
709 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
710 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
711 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
712 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
713 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
714 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
715 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
716 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
717 down (vital) interrupt lines.
718
719 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
720 increased on these systems.

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

907 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
908 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4

910 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
911 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
912 "high memory".
913
914 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
915 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
916 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
917 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
918 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
919 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
920 possible.
921
922 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then

927 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
928 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
929 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
930 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
931
932 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
933 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
934 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
935 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
936 kernel at boot time.)

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

1240 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1241 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1242 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1243 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1244
1245 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1246 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1247 as well:
1248
1249 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1250 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1251 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1252 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1253 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1254 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1255 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1256
1257 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1258 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1259 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1260
1261 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1262 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1409
1410 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1411 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1412 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1413 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1414 address.
1415
1416 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1417 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1418 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1419 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1420 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1421 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1422 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1423 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1424
1425 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1426 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1427 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1428 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1429 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1430 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1431 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1432 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1433 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1434
1435 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1436 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1437 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1438 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1439 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1440 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1441 line.

1588 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1589 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1590 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1591 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1592 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1593 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1594
1595 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1596 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1597
1598 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1599 machines with more than one CPU.
1600
1601 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001602 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001603 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1604 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1605
1606 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1607 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1608 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1609
1610 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1611 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1612 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1613 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1614
1615 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1616 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1617 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1618 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1619 APM in your BIOS).
1620
1621 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1622 "weird" problems:
1623
1624 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1625 enabled.
1626 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1627 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1628 the "no387" option to the kernel
1629 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1630 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1631 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1632 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1633 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1634 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1635 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1636 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1637 11) exchange RAM chips
1638 12) exchange the motherboard.
1639
1640 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1641 module will be called apm.

1656 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1657 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1658 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1659 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1660 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1661 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1662 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1663 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1664 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1665 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1666 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1667 this feature.

1673 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1674 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1675 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1676 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1685 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1686 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1687 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1688 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1689 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1731 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1732 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1733 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1734 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1735 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1737 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1741 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
