179 ---help---
180 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
181 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
182 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
183 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
184 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
185 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
186 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
187 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
188 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
189
190 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
191 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
192 as well.
193
194 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
195 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
196 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
197
198 Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

207 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.

209 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
210 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
211 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
212 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
213 will run faster if you say N here.

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

336 but is useful on some chipsets without HPET on systems with more

338 system it is normally not required.
339 When the PM timer is active 64bit vsyscalls are disabled
340 and should not be enabled (/proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64 should
341 not be changed).
342 The kernel selects the PM timer only as a last resort, so it is

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

419 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
420 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
421
422 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
423
424 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
425 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
426 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
427 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is

446 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
447 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
448 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
449 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
450 defined by each seccomp mode.
