221 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
222 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
223 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
224
225 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
226 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
227 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
228 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
229 will run faster if you say N here.
230
231 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
232 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
233 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
234 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
235
236 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
237 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
238 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

Stefan Assmann41b9eb22008-07-15 13:48:55 +0200737 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
738 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
739 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
740 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
741
742 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
743 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
744 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
745 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
746 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
747 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
748 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
749 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
750 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
751 down (vital) interrupt lines.
752
753 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
754 increased on these systems.

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

946 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
947 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
948 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
949 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
950 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
951 "high memory".
952
953 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
954 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
955 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
956 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
957 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
958 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
959 possible.
960
961 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
962 answer "4GB" here.
963
964 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
965 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
966 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
967 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
968 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
969 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
970
971 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
972 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
973 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
974 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
975 kernel at boot time.)
976
977 If unsure, say "off".

1003
1004 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1005 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1006 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1007 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1008 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1009 available to user programs, making the address space there
1010 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1011 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only
1012 kernel modules.

1247 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1248 ---help---
1249 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1250 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1251 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1252 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1253 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1254 coprocessor or this emulation.
1255
1256 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1257 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1258 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1259 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1260 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1261 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1262 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1263 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1264
1265 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1266 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1267
1268 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1269 kernel, it won't hurt.

1271config MTRR
1272 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1273 ---help---
1274 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1275 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1276 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1277 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1278 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1279 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1280 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1281 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1282 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1283
1284 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1285 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1286 as well:
1287
1288 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1289 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1290 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1291 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1292 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1293 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1294 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1295
1296 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1297 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1298 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1299
1300 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1301 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1449 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1450 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1451 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1452 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1453 address.
1454
1455 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1456 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1457 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1458 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1459 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1460 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1461 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1462 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1463
1464 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1465 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1466 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1467 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1468 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1469 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1470 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1471 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1472 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1473
1474 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1475 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1476 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1477 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1478 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1479 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1627 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1628 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1629 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1630 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1631 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1632 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1633
1634 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1635 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1636
1637 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1638 machines with more than one CPU.
1639
1640 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
Randy Dunlap53471122008-03-12 18:10:51 -04001641 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001642 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1643 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1644
1645 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1646 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1647 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1648
1649 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1650 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1651 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1652 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1653
1654 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1655 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1656 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1657 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1658 APM in your BIOS).
1659
1660 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1661 "weird" problems:
1662
1663 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1664 enabled.
1665 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1666 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1667 the "no387" option to the kernel
1668 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1669 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1670 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1671 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1672 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1673 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1674 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1675 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1676 11) exchange RAM chips
1677 12) exchange the motherboard.
1678
1679 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1680 module will be called apm.

1696 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1697 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1698 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1699 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1700 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1701 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1702 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1703 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1704 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1705 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1706 this feature.

1726 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1727 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1728 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1780 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001917 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
1918 laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
1919 <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
1920 there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001927 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
1928 (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
1929 PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
1930 for other scx200_* drivers.
1931
1932 If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001939 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
1940 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
1941 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1942 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1943 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

Sam Ravnborge279b6c2007-11-06 20:41:05 +01001950 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT
1951 timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode.
1952 MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the
1953 generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
