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.

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,

412 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
413 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
414
415 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
416
417 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
418 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
419 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging

434 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. Normally
435 for regular kernels this value is 0x100000 (1MB). But in the case
436 of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different
437 address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load
438 address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed
439 after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is
440 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as
441 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
442 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
443 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at

457 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
458 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
