719 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
720 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
721 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
722 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
723 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
724 "high memory".
725
726 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
727 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
728 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
729 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
730 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
731 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
732 possible.
733
734 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
735 answer "4GB" here.
736
737 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
738 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
739 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

741 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
742 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
743

948 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
949 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
950 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
951 coprocessor or this emulation.
952
953 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
954 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
955 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
956 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
957 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
958 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
959 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
960 intend to use this kernel on different machines.

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

970 ---help---
971 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
972 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
973 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
974 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
975 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
976 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
977 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
978 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
979 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
980
981 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
982 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
983 as well:
984
985 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
986 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
987 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
988 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
989 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
990 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
991 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
992
993 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
994 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
995 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
996
997 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
998 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1125 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1126 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1127 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1128 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1129 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1130 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1131
1132 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1133 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1134 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1135 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1136 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1137 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1236 ---help---
1237 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1238 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1239 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1240 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1241 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1242 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1243
1244 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1245 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1246
1247 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1248 machines with more than one CPU.
1249
1250 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1251 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1252 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1253 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1254
1255 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1256 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1257 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1258
1259 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1260 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1261 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1262 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1263
1264 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1265 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1266 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1267 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1268 APM in your BIOS).
1269
1270 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1271 "weird" problems:
1272
1273 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1274 enabled.
1275 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1276 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1277 the "no387" option to the kernel
1278 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1279 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1280 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1281 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1282 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1283 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1284 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1285 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1286 11) exchange RAM chips
1287 12) exchange the motherboard.

1308 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this

1310 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1311 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1312 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1313 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1314 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

1324 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
