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

1058 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1059 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1060 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1061 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1062 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1063 "high memory".
1064
1065 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1066 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1067 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1068 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1069 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1070 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1071 possible.
1072
1073 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1074 answer "4GB" here.
1075
1076 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1077 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1078 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1079 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1080 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1081 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1082
1083 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1084 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1085 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1086 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
1087 kernel at boot time.)

1117 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1118 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1119 available to user programs, making the address space there
1120 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

1315 configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
1316 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command

1318 seconds; see the memory_corruption_check_size and

1322 When enabled with the default parameters, this option has
1323 almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount
1324 of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
1325 and prevents it from affecting the running system.
1326
1327 It is, however, intended as a diagnostic tool; if repeatable
1328 BIOS-originated corruption always affects the same memory,

1375 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1376 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1377 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1378 coprocessor or this emulation.
1379
1380 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1381 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1382 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1383 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1384 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1385 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1386 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1387 intend to use this kernel on different machines.

SR
1398 ---help---
1399 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1400 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1401 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1402 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1403 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1404 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1405 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1406 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1407 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1408
1409 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1410 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1411 as well:
1412
1413 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1414 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1415 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1416 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1417 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1418 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1419 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1420
1421 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1422 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1423 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1424
1425 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1426 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1722 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1723 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1724 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1725 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the
1726 end result is that kernel runs from a physical address meeting
1727 above alignment restrictions.

1893 ---help---
1894 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1895 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1896 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1897 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1898 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1899 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1900
1901 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1902 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1903
1904 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1905 machines with more than one CPU.
1906
1907 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location

1912 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1913 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1914 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1915
1916 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1917 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1918 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1919 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1920
1921 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1922 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1923 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1924 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1925 APM in your BIOS).
1926
1927 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1928 "weird" problems:
1929
1930 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1931 enabled.
1932 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1933 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1934 the "no387" option to the kernel
1935 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1936 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1937 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1938 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1939 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1940 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1941 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1942 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1943 11) exchange RAM chips
1944 12) exchange the motherboard.

1968 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn

1970 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1971 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

2170 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
2171 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
2172 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

2282 bool "Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer"
2283 help
2284 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2285 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2286 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2287 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2288 to x86.
2289 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2290 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2291 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2292 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2293 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2294 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2295 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2296
2297 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2298 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2299 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2300 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2301 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2302 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2303 incompatible with simplefb.
2304
2305 If unsure, say Y.
