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

a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
|
|
you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
|
|
|
|
If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
|
|
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
|
|
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
|
|
singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
|
|
will run faster if you say N here.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
|
|
"Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
|
|
architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
|
|
architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
|
|
|
|
People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
|
|
Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
|
|
Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of

interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of

superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.

|

Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
|
|
entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
|
|
kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
|
|
boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
|
|
the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
|
|
IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
|
|
kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
|
|
way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
|
|
the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
|
|
down (vital) interrupt lines.

split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
|
|
space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used

|
by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
|

possible.
|

If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then

answer "4GB" here.
|

If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This

selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.

PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel

processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
|
|
then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
|
|
|
|
The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
|
|
auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
|
|
such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

config MATH_EMULATION

Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
|
|
operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
|
|
a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
|
|
a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
|
|
give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
|
|
coprocessor or this emulation.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
|
|
say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
|
|
be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
|
|
command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
|
|
is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
|
|
loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
|
|
boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
|
|
intend to use this kernel on different machines.
|
|
|
|
More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
|
|
emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
|

If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger

kernel, it won't hurt.

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

kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your

initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging

---help---
|
|
This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
|
|
|
|
If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
|
|
bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
|
|
run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
|
|
it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
|
|
as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
|
|
(CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
|
|
address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
|
|
to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
|
|
vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
|
|
to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
|
|
(normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
|
|
|
|
So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
|
|
leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
|
|
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
|
|
for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
|
|
the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
|
|
the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
|
|
command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
|
|
kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
|
|
for more details about crash dumps.
|
|
|
|
Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
|
|
one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
|
|
as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
|
|
gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
|
|
is present because there are users out there who continue to use
|
|
vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and

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

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

will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn

a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls

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