| 437 | Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems. |
| 438 | However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4 |
| 439 | Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of |
| 440 | physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the |
| 441 | kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called |
| 442 | "high memory". |
| 443 | |
| 444 | If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with |
| 445 | more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default |
| 446 | choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB" |
| 447 | split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory |
| 448 | space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used |
| 449 | by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as |
| 450 | possible. |
| 451 | |
| 452 | If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then |
| 453 | answer "4GB" here. |
| 454 | |
| 455 | If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This |
| 456 | selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on. |
| 457 | PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully |
| 458 | supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel |
| 459 | processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here, |
| 460 | then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE! |
| 461 | |
| 462 | The actual amount of total physical memory will either be |
| 463 | auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option |
| 464 | such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of |
| 465 | your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the |
| 466 | kernel at boot time.) |

| 609 | Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point |

| 611 | a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added |
| 612 | a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can |
| 613 | give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a |
| 614 | coprocessor or this emulation. |
| 615 | |
| 616 | If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you |
| 617 | say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will |
| 618 | be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel |
| 619 | command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor |
| 620 | is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot |
| 621 | loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at |
| 622 | boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you |
| 623 | intend to use this kernel on different machines. |
| 624 | |
| 625 | More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor |
| 626 | emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>. |
| 627 | |
| 628 | If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger |
| 629 | kernel, it won't hurt. |

| 632 | bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" |
| 633 | ---help--- |
| 634 | On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) |
| 635 | the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control |
| 636 | processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have |
| 637 | a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining |
| 638 | allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer |
| 639 | before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance |
| 640 | of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a |
| 641 | /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's |
| 642 | MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. |
| 643 | |
| 644 | This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar |
| 645 | control registers on other processors can be easily supported |
| 646 | as well: |
| 647 | |
| 648 | The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range |
| 649 | Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For |
| 650 | these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. |
| 651 | The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two |
| 652 | MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing |
| 653 | write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code |
| 654 | and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. |
| 655 | |
| 656 | Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only |
| 657 | set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This |
| 658 | can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. |
| 659 | |
| 660 | You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll |
| 661 | just add about 9 KB to your kernel. |

| 801 | APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different |
| 802 | techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with |
| 803 | APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be |
| 804 | reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide |
| 805 | battery status information, and user-space programs will receive |
| 806 | notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change). |
| 807 | |
| 808 | If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM |
| 809 | BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time. |
| 810 | |
| 811 | Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for |
| 812 | machines with more than one CPU. |
| 813 | |
| 814 | In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location |
| 815 | and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the |
| 816 | Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from |
| 817 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. |
| 818 | |
| 819 | This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) |
| 820 | manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off |
| 821 | VESA-compliant "green" monitors. |
| 822 | |
| 823 | This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER |
| 824 | 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" |
| 825 | desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver |
| 826 | may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. |
| 827 | |
| 828 | Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't |
| 829 | much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get |
| 830 | random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to |
| 831 | anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling |
| 832 | APM in your BIOS). |
| 833 | |
| 834 | Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, |
| 835 | "weird" problems: |
| 836 | |
| 837 | 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is |
| 838 | enabled. |
| 839 | 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel |
| 840 | 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass |
| 841 | the "no387" option to the kernel |
| 842 | 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel |
| 843 | 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling |
| 844 | all but the first 4 MB of RAM) |
| 845 | 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. |
| 846 | 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> |
| 847 | 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings |
| 848 | 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM |
| 849 | 10) install a better fan for the CPU |
| 850 | 11) exchange RAM chips |
| 851 | 12) exchange the motherboard. |

| 872 | This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this |
| 873 | feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This |
| 874 | should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features |
| 875 | will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn |
| 876 | this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM |
| 877 | support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn |
| 878 | this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba |
