201 ---help---
202 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
203 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
204 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
205 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
206 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
207 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
208 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
209 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
210 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
211
212 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
213 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
214 as well.
215
216 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
217 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
218 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
219
220 Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

229 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
230
231 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
232 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
233 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
234 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
235 will run faster if you say N here.

348 systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,

360 system it is normally not required.
361 When the PM timer is active 64bit vsyscalls are disabled
362 and should not be enabled (/proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64 should
363 not be changed).
364 The kernel selects the PM timer only as a last resort, so it is

420 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your

422 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
423 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
424
425 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
426
427 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
428 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
429 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
430 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
431 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

444 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. Normally
445 for regular kernels this value is 0x100000 (1MB). But in the case
446 of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
447 address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
448 address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
449 after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
450 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as
451 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
452 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
453 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at

463 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
464 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
465 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
466 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
467 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
468 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
469 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
470 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
471 defined by each seccomp mode.
