236 ---help---
237 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
238 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
239 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
240 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
241 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
242 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
243 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
244 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
245 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
246
247 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
248 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
249 as well.
250
251 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
252 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
253 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
254
255 Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs.

577 help
578 This option enables the toolchain to reorder functions for a more
579 optimal TLB usage. If you have pretty much any version of binutils,
580 this can increase your kernel build time by roughly one minute.

691 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
692 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
693 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
694 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
695 If in doubt, say "N".
