694 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
695 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
696 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
697 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
698 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
699 "high memory".
700
701 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
702 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
703 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
704 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
705 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
706 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
707 possible.
708
709 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
710 answer "4GB" here.
711
712 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
713 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
714 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

716 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
717 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
718
719 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be

921 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point

923 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
924 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
925 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
926 coprocessor or this emulation.
927
928 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
929 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
930 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
931 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
932 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
933 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
934 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
935 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
936

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

945 ---help---
946 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
947 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
948 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
949 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
950 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
951 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
952 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
953 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
954 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
955
956 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
957 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
958 as well:
959
960 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
961 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
962 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
963 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
964 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
965 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
966 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
967
968 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
969 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
970 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
971
972 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
973 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1091 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1092 address.
1093
1094 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1095 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1096 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1097 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1098 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1099 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1100 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1101 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1102
1103 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1104 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1105 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1106 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1107 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1108 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1109 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1110 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1111 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1112
1113 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1114 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1115 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1116 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1117 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1118 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1119 line.

1217 ---help---
1218 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1219 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1220 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1221 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1222 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1223 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1224
1225 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1226 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1227
1228 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1229 machines with more than one CPU.
1230
1231 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1232 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1233 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1234 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1235
1236 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1237 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1238 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1239
1240 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1241 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1242 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1243 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1244
1245 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1246 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1247 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1248 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1249 APM in your BIOS).
1250
1251 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1252 "weird" problems:
1253
1254 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1255 enabled.
1256 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1257 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1258 the "no387" option to the kernel
1259 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1260 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1261 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1262 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1263 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1264 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1265 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1266 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1267 11) exchange RAM chips
1268 12) exchange the motherboard.

1287 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1288 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1289 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1290 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1291 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1292 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1293 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1294 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1295 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1305 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1306 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
