958 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
959 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
960 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
961 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
962
963 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
964 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
965 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
966 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
967 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
968 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
969 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
970 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
971 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
972 down (vital) interrupt lines.
973
974 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
975 increased on these systems.

1215 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1216 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1217 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1218 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1219 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1220 "high memory".
1221
1222 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1223 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1224 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1225 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1226 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1227 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1228 possible.
1229
1230 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1231 answer "4GB" here.
1232
1233 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1234 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1235 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

1237 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1238 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1239
1240 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1241 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1242 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

1490 configuration, it is disabled at runtime. Enable it by
1491 setting "memory_corruption_check=1" on the kernel command

1499 of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
1500 and prevents it from affecting the running system.

1548 ---help---
1549 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1550 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1551 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1552 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1553 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1554 coprocessor or this emulation.
1555
1556 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1557 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1558 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1559 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1560 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1561 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1562 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1563 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1564
1565 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1566 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

506f1d07
SR
1574 ---help---
1575 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1576 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1577 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1578 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1579 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1580 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1581 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1582 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1583 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1584
1585 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1586 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1587 as well:
1588
1589 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1590 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1591 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1592 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1593 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1594 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1595 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1596
1597 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1598 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1599 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1600
1601 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1602 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1764 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1765 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1766 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1767 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.

1769 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.

1834 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.

1836 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1837 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1838 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1839 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1840 address.
1841
1842 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1843 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1844 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1845 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1846 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1847 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1848 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1849 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.

1851 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1852 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1853 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1854 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1855 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1856 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1857 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1858 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1859 for more details about crash dumps.

1860
1861 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1862 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1863 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1864 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1865 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1866 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

2200 ---help---
2201 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2202 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2203 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2204 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2205 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2206 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2207
2208 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2209 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2210
2211 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2212 machines with more than one CPU.
2213
2214 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location

2219 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
2220 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2221 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2222
2223 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2224 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2225 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2226 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2227
2228 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2229 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2230 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2231 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2232 APM in your BIOS).
2233
2234 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2235 "weird" problems:
2236
2237 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2238 enabled.
2239 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2240 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2241 the "no387" option to the kernel
2242 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2243 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2244 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2245 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2246 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2247 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2248 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2249 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2250 11) exchange RAM chips
2251 12) exchange the motherboard.

2254 module will be called apm.

2261 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

2268 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
2269 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
2270 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
2271 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
2272 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2273 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2274 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2275 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2276 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2277 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2278 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
2279 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
2280 this feature.

2286 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
2287 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
2288 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
2289 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
2290 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
2291 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

2298 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
2299 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
2300 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
2301 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
2302 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
2303 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
