44 We keep the static function tracing (!DYNAMIC_FTRACE) around
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.

1102 This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
1103 spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
1104 interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
1105 superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
1106
1107 Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
1108 entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
1109 kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
1110 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
1111 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
1112 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
1113 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
1114 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
1115 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
1116 down (vital) interrupt lines.
1117
1118 Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
1119 increased on these systems.

1251 Legacy IOPL support is an overbroad mechanism which allows user
1252 space aside of accessing all 65536 I/O ports also to disable
1253 interrupts. To gain this access the caller needs CAP_SYS_RAWIO
1254 capabilities and permission from potentially active security
1255 modules.
1256
1257 The emulation restricts the functionality of the syscall to
1258 only allowing the full range I/O port access, but prevents the

1259 ability to disable interrupts from user space which would be
1260 granted if the hardware IOPL mechanism would be used.

1389 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1390 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1391 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1392 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1393 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1394 "high memory".
1395
1396 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1397 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1398 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1399 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1400 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1401 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1402 possible.
1403
1404 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1405 answer "4GB" here.
1406
1407 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1408 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1409 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1410 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1411 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1412 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1413
1414 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1415 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1416 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1417 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
1418 kernel at boot time.)

1445 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1446 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1447 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1448 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1449 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1450 available to user programs, making the address space there
1451 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

1722 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1723 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1724 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1725 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1726 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1727 coprocessor or this emulation.
1728
1729 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1730 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1731 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1732 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1733 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1734 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1735 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1736 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1737
1738 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1739 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

a7f7f624 1747 help
506f1d07
SR
1748 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1749 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1750 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1751 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1752 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1753 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1754 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1755 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1756 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1757
1758 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1759 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1760 as well:
1761
1762 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1763 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1764 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1765 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1766 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1767 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1768 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1769
1770 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1771 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1772 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1773
1774 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1775 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

2094 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
2095 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
2096 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
2097 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"

2104 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
2105 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it

2141 On 64-bit, the kernel physical and virtual addresses are

2143 between 16MB and the top of physical memory (up to 64TB). The
2144 virtual address will be randomized from 16MB up to 1GB (9 bits
2145 of entropy). Note that this also reduces the memory space
2146 available to kernel modules from 1.5GB to 1GB.

2466 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2467 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2468 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2469 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2470 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2471 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2472
2473 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2474 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2475
2476 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2477 machines with more than one CPU.
2478
2479 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location

2487
2488 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2489 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2490 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2491 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2492
2493 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2494 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2495 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2496 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2497 APM in your BIOS).
2498
2499 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2500 "weird" problems:
2501
2502 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2503 enabled.
2504 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2505 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2506 the "no387" option to the kernel
2507 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2508 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2509 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2510 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2511 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2512 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2513 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM

2537 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2538 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2539 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2540 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2541 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2542 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2543 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
2544 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
2545 this feature.

2551 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
2552 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
2553 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
2554 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
2555 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
2556 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
2557 this option does nothing.)

2563 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
2564 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
2565 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
2566 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
2567 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
2568 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your

2575 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

2577 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
2578 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
2579 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
2580 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

2600 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
2601 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
2602 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
2603 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
2604 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
2605
2606 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
2607 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
2608 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
2609 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
2610 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
2611 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
2612 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
