897 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
898 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
899 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
900 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
901
902 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
903 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
904 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
905 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
906 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
907 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
908 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
909 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
910 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
911 down (vital) interrupt lines.
912
913 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
914 increased on these systems.

1151 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1152 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1153 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1154 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1155 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1156 "high memory".
1157
1158 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1159 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1160 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1161 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1162 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1163 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1164 possible.
1165
1166 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1167 answer "4GB" here.
1168
1169 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1170 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1171 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

1173 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1174 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1175
1176 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be

1178 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

1409 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command

1465 ---help---
1466 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1467 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1468 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1469 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1470 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1471 coprocessor or this emulation.
1472
1473 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1474 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1475 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1476 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1477 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1478 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1479 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1480 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1481
1482 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1483 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

SR
1491 ---help---
1492 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1493 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1494 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1495 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1496 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1497 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1498 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1499 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1500 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1501
1502 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1503 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1504 as well:
1505
1506 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1507 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1508 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1509 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1510 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1511 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1512 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1513
1514 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1515 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1516 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1517
1518 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1519 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1753 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1754
1755 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1756 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1757 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1758 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1759 address.
1760
1761 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1762 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1763 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1764 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1765 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1766 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1767 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1768 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1769

1770 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1771 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1772 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1773 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1774 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1775 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1776 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1777 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1778 for more details about crash dumps.
506f1d07
SR
1779
1780 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1781 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1782 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1783 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1784 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1785 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1786 line.

2053 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different

2055 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2056 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide

2059
2060 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2061 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.

2072 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2073 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2074
2075 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2076 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2077 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2078 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2079
2080 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2081 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2082 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2083 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2084 APM in your BIOS).
2085
2086 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2087 "weird" problems:
2088
2089 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2090 enabled.
2091 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2092 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2093 the "no387" option to the kernel
2094 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2095 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2096 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2097 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2098 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2099 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2100 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2101 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2102 11) exchange RAM chips

2187 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
2188 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
2189 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

2196 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
2197 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
2198 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
2199 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
2200 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
2201
2202 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
2203 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
2204 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
2205 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
2206 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
2207 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
2208 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

2442 help
2443 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2444 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2445 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2446 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2447 to x86.
2448 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2449 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2450 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2451 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2452 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2453 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2454 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2455
2456 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2457 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2458 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2459 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2460 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2461 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2462 incompatible with simplefb.
