354 than one CPU, say Y.
355
356 If you say N here, the kernel will run on uni- and multiprocessor

358 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
359 uniprocessor machines. On a uniprocessor machine, the kernel
360 will run faster if you say N here.
361
362 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
363 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
364 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
365 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

368 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
369 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

1310 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1311 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1312 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1313 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1314 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1315 "high memory".
1316
1317 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1318 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1319 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1320 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1321 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1322 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1323 possible.
1324
1325 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1326 answer "4GB" here.
1327
1328 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1329 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1330 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1331 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1332 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1333 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1334
1335 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1336 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1337 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

1672 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1673 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1674 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1675 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1676 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1677 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1678 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1679
1680 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1681 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1682 as well:
1683
1684 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1685 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1686 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1687 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1688 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1689 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1690 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1691
1692 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1693 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1694 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1695
1696 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1697 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1971 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1972 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1973 address.
1974
1975 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1976 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1977 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1978 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1979 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1980 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1981 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1982 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1983
1984 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1985 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1986 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1987 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1988 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1989 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1990 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1991 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1992 for more details about crash dumps.
1993
1994 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1995 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1996 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1997 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1998 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1999 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
2000 line.

2030 attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel
2031 code internals.
2032
2033 On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2034 randomized separately. The physical address will be anywhere
2035 between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The
2036 virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits
2037 of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space
2038 available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB.
2039
2040 On 32-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2041 randomized together. They will be randomized from 16MB up to
2042 512MB (8 bits of entropy).
2043
2044 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is
2045 supported. If RDTSC is supported, its value is mixed into
2046 the entropy pool as well. If neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are
2047 supported, then entropy is read from the i8254 timer. The
2048 usable entropy is limited by the kernel being built using
2049 2GB addressing, and that PHYSICAL_ALIGN must be at a
2050 minimum of 2MB. As a result, only 10 bits of entropy are
2051 theoretically possible, but the implementations are further
2052 limited due to memory layouts.

2350 ---help---
2351 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2352 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2353 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2354 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2355 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2356 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2357
2358 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2359 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2360
2361 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2362 machines with more than one CPU.
2363
2364 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
2365 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
2366 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
2367 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2368
2369 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
2370 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2371 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2372
2373 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2374 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2375 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2376 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2377
2378 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2379 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2380 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2381 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2382 APM in your BIOS).
2383
2384 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2385 "weird" problems:
2386
2387 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2388 enabled.
2389 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2390 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2391 the "no387" option to the kernel
2392 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2393 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2394 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2395 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2396 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2397 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2398 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2399 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2400 11) exchange RAM chips
2401 12) exchange the motherboard.

2422 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2423 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2424 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2425 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2426 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2427 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2428 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

2439 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

2745 help
2746 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2747 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2748 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2749 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2750 to x86.
2751 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2752 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2753 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2754 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2755 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2756 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2757 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2758
2759 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2760 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2761 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2762 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2763 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2764 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2765 incompatible with simplefb.

2767 If unsure, say Y.
