It is also used by some very old 2384 threading libraries. 2385 2386 Enabling this feature adds a small amount of overhead to 2387 context switches and increases the low-level kernel attack 2388 surface.

For location 2439 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.rst> 2440 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from 2441 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 2442 2443 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) 2444 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off 2445 VESA-compliant "green" monitors. 2446 2447 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER 2448 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" 2449 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 2450 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 2451 2452 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 2453 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get 2454 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to 2455 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling 2456 APM in your BIOS). 2457 2458 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, 2459 "weird" problems: 2460 2461 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is 2462 enabled. 2463 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel 2464 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass 2465 the "no387" option to the kernel 2466 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel 2467 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling 2468 all but the first 4 MB of RAM) 2469 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. 2470 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> 2471 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings 2472 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM 2473 10) install a better fan for the CPU 2474 11) exchange RAM chips 2475 12) exchange the motherboard. 2476 2477 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 2478 module will be called apm. 2479 2480if APM 2481 2482config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND 2483 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND" 2484 help 2485 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests.

From page 36 of the APM BIOS 2493 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 2494 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 2495 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 2496 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 2497 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 2498 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2499 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2500 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2501 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2502 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2503 T400CDT.

These idle calls 2513 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 2514 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 2515 whenever the CPU becomes idle.

Note that this is only used by 2524 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight 2525 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to 2526 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this 2527 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your 2528 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console, 2529 especially if you are using gpm. 2530 2531config APM_ALLOW_INTS 2532 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls" 2533 help 2534 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to 2535 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving 2536 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it 2537 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in 2538 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads.
