233 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
234 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
235 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
236
237 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
238 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
239 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
240 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
241 will run faster if you say N here.
242
243 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
244 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
245 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
246 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
247
248 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
249 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
250 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

760 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
761
762 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
763 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
764 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
765 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
766 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
767 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
768 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
769 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
770 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring

783 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the

785 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
786 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
787 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a

1009 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1010 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1011 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1012 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1013 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1014 "high memory".
1015
1016 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1017 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1018 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1019 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1020 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1021 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1022 possible.
1023
1024 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1025 answer "4GB" here.
1026
1027 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1028 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1029 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

1032 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1033
1034 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be

1312 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1313 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1314 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1315 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1316 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1317 coprocessor or this emulation.
1318
1319 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1320 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1321 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1322 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1323 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1324 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1325 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1326 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1327
1328 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1329 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1336 ---help---
1337 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1338 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1339 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1340 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1341 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1342 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1343 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1344 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1345 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1346
1347 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1348 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1349 as well:
1350
1351 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1352 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1353 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1354 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1355 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1356 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1357 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1358
1359 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1360 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1361 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1362
1363 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1364 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1474 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1475
1476 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1477 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not

1508 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1509
1510 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1511 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1512 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1513 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1514 address.
1515
1516 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1517 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1518 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1519 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1520 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1521 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1522 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1523 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1524
1525 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1526 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1527 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1528 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1529 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1530 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1531 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1532 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1533 for more details about crash dumps.
1534
1535 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1536 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1537 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1538 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1539 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1540 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1541 line.

1580
1581 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and

1583 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been

1691 ---help---
1692 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1693 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1694 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1695 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1696 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1697 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1698
1699 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1700 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1701
1702 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1703 machines with more than one CPU.
1704
1705 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1706 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1707 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1708 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1709
1710 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1711 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1712 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1713
1714 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1715 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1716 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1717 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1718
1719 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1720 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1721 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1722 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1723 APM in your BIOS).
1724
1725 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1726 "weird" problems:
1727
1728 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1729 enabled.
1730 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1731 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1732 the "no387" option to the kernel
1733 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1734 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1735 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1736 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1737 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1738 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1739 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1740 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1741 11) exchange RAM chips
1742 12) exchange the motherboard.
1743
1744 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
1745 module will be called apm.

1750 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND"
1751 ---help---
1752 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a
1753 compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M
1754 series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug.

1757 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
1758 ---help---
1759 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1760 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1761 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1762 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1763 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1764 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1765 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1766 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1767 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1768 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1769 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1770 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1771 this feature.
1772
1773 config APM_CPU_IDLE
1774 bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle"
1775 ---help---
1776 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1777 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1778 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1779 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1780 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1781 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1782 this option does nothing.)

1788 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1789 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1790 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1791 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1792 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1793 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1794 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1795 especially if you are using gpm.

1798 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls"
1799 ---help---
1800 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1801 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1802 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1803 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1804 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1805 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1845 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
