250 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
251 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
252 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
253
254 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
255 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
256 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
257 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
258 will run faster if you say N here.
259
260 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
261 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
262 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
263 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
264
265 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
266 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
267 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

832 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
833 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
834 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
835 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
836
837 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
838 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
839 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
840 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
841 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
842 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
843 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
844 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
845 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
846 down (vital) interrupt lines.

1034 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1035 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1036 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1037 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1038 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1039 "high memory".
1040
1041 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1042 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1043 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1044 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1045 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1046 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1047 possible.
1048
1049 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1050 answer "4GB" here.
1051
1052 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1053 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1054 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1055 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1056 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1057 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1058
1059 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1060 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1061 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1062 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1347 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1348 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1349 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1350 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1351 coprocessor or this emulation.
1352
1353 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1354 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1355 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1356 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1357 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1358 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1359 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1360 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1361
1362 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1363 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1364
1365 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1366 kernel, it won't hurt.

1372 ---help---
1373 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1374 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1375 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1376 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1377 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1378 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1379 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1380 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1381 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1382
1383 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1384 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1385 as well:
1386
1387 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1388 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1389 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1390 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1391 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1392 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1393 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1394
1395 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1396 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1397 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1398
1399 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1400 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1545 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1546
1547 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1548 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1549 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1550 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1551 address.
1552
1553 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1554 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1555 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1556 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1557 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1558 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1559 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1560 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.

1562 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1563 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1564 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1565 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1566 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1567 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1568 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1569 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1570 for more details about crash dumps.
506f1d07
SR
1571
1572 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1573 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1574 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1575 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1576 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1577 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1578 line.

1749 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1750 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1751 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1752
1753 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1754 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1755 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1756 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1757
1758 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1759 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1760 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1761 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1762 APM in your BIOS).
1763
1764 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1765 "weird" problems:
1766
1767 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1768 enabled.
1769 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1770 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1771 the "no387" option to the kernel
1772 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1773 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1774 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1775 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1776 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1777 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1778 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1779 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1780 11) exchange RAM chips
1781 12) exchange the motherboard.

1791 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1798 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1799 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1800 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1801 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1802 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1803 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1804 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1805 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1806 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1807 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1808 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1809 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1810 this feature.

SR
1815 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1816 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1817 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1818 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1819 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1820 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1821 this option does nothing.)

1829 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1830 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1831 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1832 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1839 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1840 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1841 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1842 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1843 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1844 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1874 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and

1876 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1877 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1878 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1880 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1882 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1883 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1884 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1885 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
