63 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
64 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
65 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
66
67 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
68 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
69 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
70 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
71 will run faster if you say N here.
72
73 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
74 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
75 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
76 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

300 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
301 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
302 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
303 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
304 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
305 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
306 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
307 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
308 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

437 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
438 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
439 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
440 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
441 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
442 "high memory".
443
444 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
445 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
446 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
447 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
448 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
449 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
450 possible.
451
452 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
453 answer "4GB" here.
454
455 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
456 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
457 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
458 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
459 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
460 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
461
462 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
463 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
464 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
465 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
466 kernel at boot time.)

496 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
497 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
498 available to user programs, making the address space there
499 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

606config MATH_EMULATION
607 bool "Math emulation"
608 ---help---
609 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
610 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
611 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
612 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
613 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
614 coprocessor or this emulation.
615
616 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
617 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
618 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
619 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
620 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
621 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
622 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
623 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
624
625 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
626 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

631config MTRR
632 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
633 ---help---
634 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
635 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
636 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
637 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
638 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
639 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
640 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
641 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
642 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
643
644 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
645 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
646 as well:
647
648 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
649 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
650 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
651 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
652 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
653 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
654 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
655
656 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
657 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
658 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
659
660 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
661 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

801 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
802 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
803 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
804 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
805 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
806 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
807
808 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
809 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
810
811 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
812 machines with more than one CPU.
813
814 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
815 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
816 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
817 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
818
819 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
820 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
821 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
822
823 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
824 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
825 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
826 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
827
828 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
829 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
830 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
831 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
832 APM in your BIOS).
833
834 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
835 "weird" problems:
836
837 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
838 enabled.
839 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
840 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
841 the "no387" option to the kernel
842 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
843 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
844 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
845 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
846 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
847 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
848 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
849 10) install a better fan for the CPU
850 11) exchange RAM chips
851 12) exchange the motherboard.

871 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
872 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
873 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
874 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
875 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
876 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
877 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

1076 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1077 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1078 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.

1110 help
1111 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
1112 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
1113 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
1114 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
1115 If in doubt, say "N".
