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

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

1038 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1039 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1040 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1041 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1042 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1043 "high memory".
1044
1045 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1046 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1047 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1048 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1049 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1050 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1051 possible.
1052
1053 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1054 answer "4GB" here.
1055
1056 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1057 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1058 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1059 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1060 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1061 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1062
1063 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1064 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1065 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1066 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
1067 kernel at boot time.)

1348 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1349 ---help---
1350 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1351 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1352 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1353 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1354 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1355 coprocessor or this emulation.
1356
1357 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1358 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1359 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1360 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1361 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1362 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1363 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1364 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1365
1366 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1367 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

506f1d07
SR
1375 ---help---
1376 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1377 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1378 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1379 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1380 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1381 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1382 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1383 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1384 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1385
1386 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1387 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1388 as well:
1389
1390 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1391 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1392 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1393 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1394 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1395 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1396 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1397
1398 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1399 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1400 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1401
1402 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1403 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1547 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.

1549 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1550 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and

1552 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1553 address.
1554
1555 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1556 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1557 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1558 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1559 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1560 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1561 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1562 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.

1564 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1565 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1566 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1567 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1568 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1569 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1570 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1571 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1572 for more details about crash dumps.
506f1d07
SR
1573
1574 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1575 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1576 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1577 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1578 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1579 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1580 line.

1766 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1767 "weird" problems:
1768
1769 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1770 enabled.
1771 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1772 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1773 the "no387" option to the kernel
1774 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1775 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1776 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1777 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1778 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1779 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1780 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1781 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1782 11) exchange RAM chips
1783 12) exchange the motherboard.

1793 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1801 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1802 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1803 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1804 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1805 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1806 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1807 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1808 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1809 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1810 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1811 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1812 this feature.

1817 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1818 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1819 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1820 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1821 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1822 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

1831 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1832 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1833 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1834 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

1841 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1842 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving

1844 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1845 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1846 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1876 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and

1886 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
