235 ---help---
236 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
237 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
238 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
239 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
240 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
241 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
242 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
243 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
244 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
245
246 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
247 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
248 as well.
249
250 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
251 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
252 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.

254 Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

577 This option enables the toolchain to reorder functions for a more
578 optimal TLB usage. If you have pretty much any version of binutils,
579 this can increase your kernel build time by roughly one minute.

690 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
691 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
692 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
693 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
694 If in doubt, say "N".
