866 integrated interrupt controller in the CPU. If you have a single-CPU
867 system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
868 enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't
869 have a local APIC, then the kernel will still run with no slowdown at

871 performance counters), and the NMI watchdog which detects hard

904 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
905 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
906 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
907 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
908
909 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
910 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
911 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
912 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
913 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
914 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
915 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
916 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
917 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
918 down (vital) interrupt lines.
919
920 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
921 increased on these systems.

1158 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1159 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1160 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1161 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1162 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1163 "high memory".
1164
1165 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1166 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1167 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1168 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1169 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1170 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1171 possible.
1172
1173 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1174 answer "4GB" here.
1175
1176 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1177 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1178 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1179 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1180 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1181 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1182
1183 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1184 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1185 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1186 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1416 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command

1473 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1474 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1475 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1476 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1477 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1478 coprocessor or this emulation.
1479
1480 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1481 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1482 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1483 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1484 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1485 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1486 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1487 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1488

1490 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

SR
1498 ---help---
1499 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1500 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1501 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1502 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1503 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1504 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1505 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1506 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1507 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1508
1509 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1510 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1511 as well:
1512
1513 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1514 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1515 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1516 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1517 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1518 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1519 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1520
1521 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1522 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1523 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1524
1525 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1526 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1739 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1740 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1741 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1742 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1743 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1744 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1745 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1746 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1760 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1761
1762 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1763 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1764 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1765 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1766 address.
1767
1768 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1769 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1770 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1771 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1772 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1773 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1774 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1775 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1776

1777 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1778 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1779 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1780 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1781 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1782 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1783 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1784 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1785 for more details about crash dumps.

SR
1786
1787 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1788 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1789 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1790 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1791 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1792 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1793 line.

2081
2082 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2083 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2084 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2085 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.

2087 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2088 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2089 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2090 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2091 APM in your BIOS).

2093 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2094 "weird" problems:
2095
2096 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2097 enabled.
2098 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2099 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2100 the "no387" option to the kernel
2101 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2102 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2103 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2104 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2105 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2106 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2107 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2108 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2109 11) exchange RAM chips

2169 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
2170 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
2171 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
2172 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
2173 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
2174 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

2203 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
2204 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
2205 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
2206 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
2207 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
2208
2209 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
2210 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
2211 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
2212 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
2213 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
2214 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
2215 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

2449 help
2450 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2451 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2452 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2453 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2454 to x86.
2455 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2456 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2457 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2458 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2459 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2460 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2461 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2462
2463 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2464 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2465 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2466 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2467 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2468 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2469 incompatible with simplefb.
