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 +0200717 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
718 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
719 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
720 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
721
722 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
723 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
724 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
725 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
726 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
727 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
728 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
729 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
730 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
731 down (vital) interrupt lines.
732
733 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
734 increased on these systems.

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

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

924 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
925 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called

927
928 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with

931 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
932 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used

943 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
944 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
945
946 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
947 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
948 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
949 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
950 kernel at boot time.)

952 If unsure, say "off".

978
979 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
980 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
981 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
982 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
983 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
984 available to user programs, making the address space there
985 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
986 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only
987 kernel modules.

1256 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1257 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1258
1259 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1260 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1261 as well:
1262
1263 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1264 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1265 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1266 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1267 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1268 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1269 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1270
1271 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1272 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1273 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1274
1275 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1276 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1423
1424 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1425 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1426 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1427 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1428 address.
1429
1430 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1431 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1432 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1433 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1434 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1435 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1436 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1437 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1438
1439 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1440 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1441 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1442 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1443 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1444 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1445 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1446 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1447 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1448
1449 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1450 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1451 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1452 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1453 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1454 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1455 line.

1602 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1603 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1604 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1605 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1606 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1607 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1608
1609 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1610 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1611
1612 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1613 machines with more than one CPU.
1614
1615 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001616 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001617 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1618 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1619
1620 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1621 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1622 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1623
1624 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1625 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1626 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1627 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1628
1629 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1630 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1631 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1632 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1633 APM in your BIOS).
1634
1635 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1636 "weird" problems:
1637
1638 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1639 enabled.
1640 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1641 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1642 the "no387" option to the kernel
1643 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1644 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1645 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1646 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1647 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1648 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1649 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1650 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1651 11) exchange RAM chips
1652 12) exchange the motherboard.
1653
1654 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1655 module will be called apm.

1670 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1671 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1672 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1673 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1674 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1675 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1676 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1677 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1678 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1679 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1680 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1681 this feature.

1687 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1688 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1689 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1690 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

1699 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1700 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1701 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1702 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this

1745 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1746 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1747 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1748 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1749 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1751 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1755 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
