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

1116 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1117 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1118 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1119 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1120 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1121 "high memory".
1123 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1124 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1125 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1126 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1127 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1128 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1129 possible.
1131 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1132 answer "4GB" here.
1134 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1135 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.

1437 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1438 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1439 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1440 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1441 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1442 coprocessor or this emulation.
1444 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1445 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1446 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1447 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1448 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1449 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1450 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1451 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1453 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1454 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1462 ---help---
1463 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1464 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1465 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1466 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1467 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1468 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1469 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1470 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1471 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1473 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1474 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1475 as well:
1477 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1478 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1479 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1480 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1481 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1482 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1483 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1485 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1486 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1487 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1489 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1490 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1661 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1663 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1664 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1665 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1666 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1667 address.
1669 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1670 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1671 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1672 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1673 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1674 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1675 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1676 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1678 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1679 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1680 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1681 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1682 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1683 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1684 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1685 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1686 for more details about crash dumps.
1688 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1689 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1690 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1691 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1692 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1693 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1694 line.
1696 Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

1945 ---help---
1946 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1947 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1948 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1949 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1950 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1951 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1953 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1954 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1956 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1957 machines with more than one CPU.
1959 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1960 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
1961 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1962 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
1964 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1965 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1966 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1968 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1969 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1970 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1971 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1973 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1974 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1975 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1976 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1977 APM in your BIOS).
1979 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1980 "weird" problems:
1982 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1983 enabled.
1984 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1985 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1986 the "no387" option to the kernel
1987 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1988 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1989 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1990 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1991 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1992 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1993 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1994 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1995 11) exchange RAM chips
1996 12) exchange the motherboard.

2017 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
2018 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
2019 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
2020 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
2021 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
2022 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
2023 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

2034 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,

2387 Include code to run binaries for the x32 native 32-bit ABI
2388 for 64-bit processors. An x32 process gets access to the
2389 full 64-bit register file and wide data path while leaving
2390 pointers at 32 bits for smaller memory footprint.
2392 You will need a recent binutils (2.22 or later) with
2393 elf32_x86_64 support enabled to compile a kernel with this
2394 option set.
