725 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
726 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
727 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
728 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
729 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
730 "high memory".
731
732 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
733 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
734 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
735 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
736 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
737 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
738 possible.
739
740 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
741 answer "4GB" here.
742
743 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
744 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
745 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
746 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
747 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
748 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
749
750 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
751 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option

955 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
956 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
957 coprocessor or this emulation.
958
959 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
960 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
961 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
962 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
963 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
964 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
965 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
966 intend to use this kernel on different machines.

969 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

976 ---help---
977 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
978 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
979 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
980 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
981 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
982 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
983 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
984 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
985 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
986
987 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
988 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
989 as well:
990
991 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
992 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
993 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
994 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
995 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
996 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
997 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
998
999 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1000 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1001 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1002
1003 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1004 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1128 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1129 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1130 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1131 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1132 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1133 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1134 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1135 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1136 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1137
1138 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1139 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1140 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1141 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1142 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1143 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1144 line.
1145
1146 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

1242 ---help---
1243 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1244 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1245 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1246 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1247 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1248 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1249
1250 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1251 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1252
1253 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1254 machines with more than one CPU.
1255
1256 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1257 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1258 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1259 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1260
1261 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1262 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1263 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1264
1265 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1266 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1267 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1268 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1269
1270 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1271 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1272 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1273 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1274 APM in your BIOS).
1275
1276 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1277 "weird" problems:
1278
1279 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1280 enabled.
1281 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1282 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1283 the "no387" option to the kernel
1284 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1285 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1286 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1287 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1288 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1289 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1290 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1291 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1292 11) exchange RAM chips
1293 12) exchange the motherboard.

1314 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this

1316 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1317 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1318 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1319 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1320 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1329 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1330 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
