80 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
81 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
82 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
83
84 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
85 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
86 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
87 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
88 will run faster if you say N here.
89
90 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
91 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
92 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
93 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

328 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

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

474 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
475 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
476 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
477 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
478 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
479 "high memory".
480
481 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
482 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
483 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
484 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
485 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
486 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
487 possible.
488
489 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
490 answer "4GB" here.
491
492 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
493 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
494 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
495 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
496 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
497 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
498
499 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
500 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
501 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
502 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

535 available to user programs, making the address space there
536 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
537 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only
538 kernel modules.

643config MATH_EMULATION
644 bool "Math emulation"
645 ---help---
646 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
647 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
648 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
649 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
650 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
651 coprocessor or this emulation.
652
653 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
654 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
655 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
656 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
657 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
658 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
659 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
660 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
661
662 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
663 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

668config MTRR
669 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
670 ---help---
671 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
672 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
673 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
674 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
675 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
676 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
677 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
678 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
679 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
680
681 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
682 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
683 as well:
684
685 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
686 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
687 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
688 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
689 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
690 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
691 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
692
693 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
694 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
695 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
696
697 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
698 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

793 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
794 address.
795
796 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
797 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
798 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
799 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
800 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
801 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
802 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
803 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
804
805 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
806 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
807 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
808 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
809 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
810 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
811 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
812 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
813 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
814
815 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
816 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
817 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
818 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
819 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
820 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
821 line.

902 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
903 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
904 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
905 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
906 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
907 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
908
909 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
910 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
911
912 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
913 machines with more than one CPU.
914
915 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
916 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
917 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
918 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
919
920 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
921 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
922 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
923
924 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
925 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
926 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
927 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
928
929 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
930 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
931 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
932 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
933 APM in your BIOS).
934
935 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
936 "weird" problems:
937
938 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
939 enabled.
940 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
941 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
942 the "no387" option to the kernel
943 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
944 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
945 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
946 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
947 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
948 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
949 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
950 10) install a better fan for the CPU
951 11) exchange RAM chips

1037 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1038 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1039 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1054 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
1055 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1056 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1057 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

1059 The PCI-HOWTO, available from
1060 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
1061 information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
1062 doesn't.

1068 ---help---
1069 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1070 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1071 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1072 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1073 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1074
1075 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1076 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1077 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1078 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1079 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1080 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1081 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1134 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1135 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1136
1137 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1138 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1139 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1140 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.

1142 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1163 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's

1175 This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip

1177 NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
1178 processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
1179 other workaround is idle=poll boot option.
