707 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
708 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
709 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
710 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
711 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
712 "high memory".
713
714 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
715 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
716 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
717 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
718 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
719 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
720 possible.
721
722 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
723 answer "4GB" here.
724
725 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
726 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
727 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
728 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
729 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
730 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
731
732 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be

936 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
937 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
938 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
939 coprocessor or this emulation.
940
941 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
942 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
943 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
944 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
945 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
946 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
947 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
948 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
949
950 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
951 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

958 ---help---
959 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
960 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
961 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
962 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
963 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
964 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
965 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
966 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
967 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
968
969 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
970 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
971 as well:
972
973 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
974 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
975 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
976 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
977 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
978 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
979 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
980
981 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
982 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
983 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
984
985 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
986 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1098 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1099 address.
1100
1101 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1102 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1103 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1104 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1105 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1106 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1107 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1108 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1109
1110 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1111 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1112 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1113 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1114 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1115 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1116 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1117 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1118 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1119
1120 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1121 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1122 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1123 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it

1224 ---help---
1225 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1226 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1227 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1228 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1229 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1230 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1231
1232 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1233 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1234
1235 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1236 machines with more than one CPU.
1237
1238 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1239 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1240 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1241 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1242
1243 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1244 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1245 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1246
1247 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1248 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1249 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1250 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1251
1252 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1253 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1254 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1255 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1256 APM in your BIOS).
1257
1258 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1259 "weird" problems:
1260
1261 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1262 enabled.
1263 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1264 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1265 the "no387" option to the kernel
1266 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1267 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1268 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1269 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1270 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1271 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1272 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1273 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1274 11) exchange RAM chips
1275 12) exchange the motherboard.

1295 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1296 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1297 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1298 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1299 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1300 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1301 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1302 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1311 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1312 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1313 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
