45 in order to test the non static function tracing in the
46 generic code, as other architectures still use it. But we
47 only need to keep it around for x86_64. No need to keep it
48 for x86_32. For x86_32, force DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

409 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
410 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
411 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

1085 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot

1155 This option allows user programs to put the CPU into V8086
1156 mode, which is an 80286-era approximation of 16-bit real mode.
1157
1158 Some very old versions of X and/or vbetool require this option
1159 for user mode setting. Similarly, DOSEMU will use it if
1160 available to accelerate real mode DOS programs. However, any
1161 recent version of DOSEMU, X, or vbetool should be fully
1162 functional even without kernel VM86 support, as they will all
1163 fall back to software emulation. Nevertheless, if you are using
1164 a 16-bit DOS program where 16-bit performance matters, vm86
1165 mode might be faster than emulation and you might want to
1166 enable this option.
1167
1168 Note that any app that works on a 64-bit kernel is unlikely to
1169 need this option, as 64-bit kernels don't, and can't, support
1170 V8086 mode. This option is also unrelated to 16-bit protected
1171 mode and is not needed to run most 16-bit programs under Wine.

1362 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1363 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1364 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1365 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1366 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1367 "high memory".

1369 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1370 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1371 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1372 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1373 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1374 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1375 possible.
1376

1384 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1385 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1386
1387 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be

1690 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1691 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1692 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1693 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1694 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1695 coprocessor or this emulation.
1696
1697 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1698 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1699 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1700 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1701 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1702 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1703 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1704 intend to use this kernel on different machines.

1715 help
1716 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1717 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1718 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1719 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1720 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1721 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1722 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1723 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1724 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1725
1726 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1727 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1728 as well:
1729
1730 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1731 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1732 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1733 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1734 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1735 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1736 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1737
1738 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1739 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1740 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1741
1742 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1743 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

2064 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
2065 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst

2067
2068 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as

2420 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2421 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2422 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2423 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2424 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2425 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2426
2427 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2428 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2429
2430 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2431 machines with more than one CPU.
2432
2433 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
2434 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.rst>
2435 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
2436 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

2438 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
2439 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2440 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2441
2442 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2443 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2444 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2445 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2446
2447 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2448 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2449 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2450 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2451 APM in your BIOS).
2452
2453 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2454 "weird" problems:
2455
2456 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2457 enabled.
2458 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2459 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2460 the "no387" option to the kernel
2461 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2462 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2463 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2464 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2465 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2466 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2467 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2468 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2469 11) exchange RAM chips
2470 12) exchange the motherboard.

2731 This option enables system support for the PCEngines ALIX.
2732 At present this just sets up LEDs for GPIO control on
2733 ALIX2/3/6 boards. However, other system specific setup should
2734 get added here.
2735
2736 Note: You must still enable the drivers for GPIO and LED support
2737 (GPIO_CS5535 & LEDS_GPIO) to actually use the LEDs
2738
2739 Note: You have to set alix.force=1 for boards with Award BIOS.
