171 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
172 ---help---
173 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
174 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
175 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
176 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
177 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
178 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
179 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
180 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
181 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
182
183 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
184 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
185 as well.
186
187 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
188 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
189 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
190
191 Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

193 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information.

199 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
200 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
201
202 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
203 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
204 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
205 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
206 will run faster if you say N here.

208 If you don't know what to do here, say N.

210 config PREEMPT
211 bool "Preemptible Kernel"
212 ---help---
213 This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
214 real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
215 be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
216 This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
217 under load. On contrary it may also break your drivers and add
218 priority inheritance problems to your system. Don't select it if
219 you rely on a stable system or have slightly obscure hardware.
220 It's also not very well tested on x86-64 currently.
221 You have been warned.
222
223 Say Y here if you are feeling brave and building a kernel for a
224 desktop, embedded or real-time system. Say N if you are unsure.

357 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
358 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
359 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
360 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
361 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
362 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
363 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
364 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
365 defined by each seccomp mode.
