263 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
264 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
265 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
266
267 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
268 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
269 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
270 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
271 will run faster if you say N here.
272
273 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
274 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
275 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
276 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
277
278 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
279 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
280 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

823 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
824 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
825 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
826 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
827
828 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
829 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
830 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
831 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
832 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
833 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
834 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
835 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
836 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
837 down (vital) interrupt lines.

1024 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1025 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1026 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1027 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1028 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1029 "high memory".
1030
1031 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1032 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1033 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1034 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1035 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1036 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1037 possible.
1038
1039 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1040 answer "4GB" here.
1041
1042 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1043 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1044 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1045 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1046 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1047 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1048
1049 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1050 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1051 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1052 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
1053 kernel at boot time.)

1082 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the

1084 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1085 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1086 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1087 available to user programs, making the address space there
1088 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

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

506f1d07
SR
1373 ---help---
1374 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1375 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1376 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1377 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1378 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1379 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1380 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1381 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1382 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1383
1384 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1385 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1386 as well:
1387
1388 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1389 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1390 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1391 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1392 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1393 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1394 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1395
1396 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1397 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1398 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1399
1400 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1401 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1545 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.

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.

1787 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1794 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1795 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1796 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1797 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1798 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1799 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1800 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1801 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1802 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1803 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1804 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1805 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1806 this feature.

1811 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1812 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1813 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1814 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1815 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1816 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1825 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1826 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1827 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1828 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1835 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1836 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1837 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1838 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1839 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1840 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1870 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and

1872 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1873 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1874 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1876 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1880 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
