244 will run faster if you say N here.
246 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
247 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
248 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
249 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

762 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
763 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
765 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
766 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
767 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
768 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
769 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
770 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
771 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
772 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
773 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring

786 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
787 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
788 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
789 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
790 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
791 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

1012 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1013 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1014 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1015 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1016 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1017 "high memory".
1019 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1020 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1021 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1022 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1023 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1024 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1025 possible.
1027 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1028 answer "4GB" here.
1030 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1031 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1032 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1033 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1034 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1035 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1037 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1038 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1039 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1040 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1264 Periodically check for memory corruption in low memory, which
1265 is suspected to be caused by BIOS. Even when enabled in the
1266 configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
1267 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command
1268 line. By default it scans the low 64k of memory every 60
1269 seconds; see the memory_corruption_check_size and
1270 memory_corruption_check_period parameters in
1271 Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to adjust this.
1273 When enabled with the default parameters, this option has
1274 almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount
1275 of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
1276 and prevents it from affecting the running system.
1278 It is, however, intended as a diagnostic tool; if repeatable
1279 BIOS-originated corruption always affects the same memory,
1280 you can use memmap= to prevent the kernel from using that

1311 config MATH_EMULATION
1312 bool
1313 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
1314 ---help---
1315 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1316 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1317 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1318 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1319 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1320 coprocessor or this emulation.
1322 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1323 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1324 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1325 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1326 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1327 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1328 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1329 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1331 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1332 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1334 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1335 kernel, it won't hurt.
1337 config MTRR
1338 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1339 ---help---
1340 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1341 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1342 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1343 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1344 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1345 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1346 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1347 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1348 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1350 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1351 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1352 as well:
1354 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1355 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1356 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1357 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1358 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1359 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1360 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1362 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1363 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1364 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1366 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1367 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1439 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
1440 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
1441 enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled

1460 neutralized via a kernel panic.
1462 This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
1463 gcc with the feature backported. Older versions are automatically
1464 detected and for those versions, this configuration option is

1472 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1473 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1474 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1475 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1477 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1479 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1480 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1481 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging

1496 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1511 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1513 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1514 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1515 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1516 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1517 address.
1519 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1520 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1521 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1522 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1523 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1524 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1525 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1526 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1528 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1529 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1530 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1531 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1532 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1533 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1534 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1535 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1536 for more details about crash dumps.
1538 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1539 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1540 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1541 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1542 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1543 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1544 line.
1546 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

1557 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1558 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1559 kernel.

1582 address aligned to above value and run from there.
1584 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and
1585 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time
1586 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been
1587 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is
1588 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions. Hence the

1695 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1696 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1697 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1698 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1699 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1700 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1702 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1703 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1705 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1706 machines with more than one CPU.
1708 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1709 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1710 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1711 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1713 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1714 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1715 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1717 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1718 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1719 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1720 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1722 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1723 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1724 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1725 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1726 APM in your BIOS).
1728 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1729 "weird" problems:
1731 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1732 enabled.
1733 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1734 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1735 the "no387" option to the kernel
1736 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1737 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1738 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1739 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1740 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1741 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1742 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1743 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1744 11) exchange RAM chips
1745 12) exchange the motherboard.

1838 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and

1848 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
