355 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have

357 than one CPU, say Y.
358
359 If you say N here, the kernel will run on uni- and multiprocessor
360 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
361 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
362 uniprocessor machines. On a uniprocessor machine, the kernel
363 will run faster if you say N here.
364
365 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
366 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
367 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
368 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
369
370 People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
371 Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
372 Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

374 See also <file:Documentation/x86/i386/IO-APIC.txt>,

397 based on the capabilities of the CPU. The infrastructure for patching
398 code at runtime takes up some additional space; space-constrained

1298 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1299 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1300 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1301 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1302 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1303 "high memory".
1304
1305 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1306 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1307 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1308 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1309 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1310 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1311 possible.
1312
1313 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1314 answer "4GB" here.
1315
1316 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1317 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1318 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1319 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1320 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1321 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1322
1323 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1324 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1325 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

1680 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1681 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1682 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1683 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1684 coprocessor or this emulation.
1685
1686 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1687 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1688 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1689 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1690 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1691 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1692 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1693 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1694
1695 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1696 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1697
1698 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1699 kernel, it won't hurt.

1703 prompt "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" if EXPERT
1704 ---help---
1705 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1706 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1707 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1708 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1709 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1710 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1711 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1712 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1713 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1714
1715 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1716 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1717 as well:
1718
1719 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1720 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1721 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1722 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1723 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1724 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1725 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1726
1727 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1728 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1729 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1730
1731 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1732 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

2003 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical

2005
2006 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
2007 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
2008 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
2009 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
2010 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
2011 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
2012 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
2013 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
2014
2015 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
2016 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
2017 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
2018 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
2019 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
2020 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
2021 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
2022 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
2023 for more details about crash dumps.
2024
2025 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
2026 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
2027 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
2028 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
2029 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
2030 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
2031 line.

2062 code internals.

2064 On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2065 randomized separately. The physical address will be anywhere
2066 between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The
2067 virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits
2068 of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space
2069 available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB.
2070
2071 On 32-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are
2072 randomized together. They will be randomized from 16MB up to
2073 512MB (8 bits of entropy).
2074
2075 Entropy is generated using the RDRAND instruction if it is

2077 the entropy pool as well. If neither RDRAND nor RDTSC are
2078 supported, then entropy is read from the i8254 timer. The
2079 usable entropy is limited by the kernel being built using
2080 2GB addressing, and that PHYSICAL_ALIGN must be at a
2081 minimum of 2MB. As a result, only 10 bits of entropy are
2082 theoretically possible, but the implementations are further

2214 The bug was introduced by f866314b89d56845f55e6f365e18b31ec978ec3a
2215 and fixed by 3b3ddb4f7db98ec9e912ccdf54d35df4aa30e04a and
2216 49ad572a70b8aeb91e57483a11dd1b77e31c4468. Glibc 2.3.3 is
2217 the only released version with the bug, but OpenSUSE 9
2218 contains a buggy "glibc 2.3.2".
2219
2220 The symptom of the bug is that everything crashes on startup, saying:
2221 dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
2222
2223 Saying Y here changes the default value of the vdso32 boot

2390 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2391 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2392 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2393 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2394 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2395 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2396
2397 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2398 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2399
2400 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2401 machines with more than one CPU.
2402
2403 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
2404 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
2405 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
2406 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
2407
2408 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
2409 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2410 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2411
2412 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2413 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2414 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2415 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2416
2417 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2418 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2419 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2420 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2421 APM in your BIOS).
2422
2423 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2424 "weird" problems:
2425
2426 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2427 enabled.
2428 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2429 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2430 the "no387" option to the kernel
2431 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2432 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2433 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2434 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2435 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2436 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2437 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2438 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2439 11) exchange RAM chips
2440 12) exchange the motherboard.

2461 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this

2464 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2465 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2466 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn

2478 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

2783 bool "Mark VGA/VBE/EFI FB as generic system framebuffer"
2784 help
2785 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2786 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2787 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2788 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2789 to x86.
2790 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2791 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2792 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2793 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2794 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2795 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2796 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2797
2798 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2799 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2800 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2801 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2802 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2803 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2804 incompatible with simplefb.
