This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you 997 intend to use this kernel on different machines. 998 999 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor 1000 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>. 1001 1002 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger 1003 kernel, it won't hurt. 1004 1005config MTRR 1006 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" 1007 ---help--- 1008 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) 1009 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control 1010 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have 1011 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining 1012 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer 1013 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance 1014 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a 1015 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's 1016 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. 1017 1018 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar 1019 control registers on other processors can be easily supported 1020 as well: 1021 1022 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range 1023 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For 1024 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. 1025 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two 1026 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing 1027 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code 1028 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. 1029 1030 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only 1031 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This 1032 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. 1033 1034 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll 1035 just add about 9 KB to your kernel. 1036 1037 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information. 1038 1039config X86_PAT 1040 def_bool y 1041 prompt "x86 PAT support" 1042 depends on MTRR && NONPROMISC_DEVMEM 1043 help 1044 Use PAT attributes to setup page level cache control. 1045 1046 PATs are the modern equivalents of MTRRs and are much more 1047 flexible than MTRRs. 1048 1049 Say N here if you see bootup problems (boot crash, boot hang, 1050 spontaneous reboots) or a non-working video driver. 1051 1052 If unsure, say Y. 1053 1054config EFI 1055 def_bool n 1056 prompt "EFI runtime service support" 1057 depends on ACPI 1058 ---help--- 1059 This enables the kernel to use EFI runtime services that are 1060 available (such as the EFI variable services). 1061 1062 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware. 1063 In addition, you should use the latest ELILO loader available 1064 at <http://elilo.sourceforge.net> in order to take advantage 1065 of EFI runtime services.

This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want 1170 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a 1171 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs 1172 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area 1173 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy. 1174 1175 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave 1176 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. 1177 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump 1178 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB 1179 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as 1180 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter 1181 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as 1182 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at 1183 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps. 1184 1185 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as 1186 one does not have to build two kernels.

For location 1304 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the 1305 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from 1306 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. 1307 1308 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) 1309 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off 1310 VESA-compliant "green" monitors. 1311 1312 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER 1313 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" 1314 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 1315 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 1316 1317 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 1318 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get 1319 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to 1320 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling 1321 APM in your BIOS). 1322 1323 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, 1324 "weird" problems: 1325 1326 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is 1327 enabled. 1328 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel 1329 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass 1330 the "no387" option to the kernel 1331 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel 1332 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling 1333 all but the first 4 MB of RAM) 1334 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. 1335 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> 1336 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings 1337 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM 1338 10) install a better fan for the CPU 1339 11) exchange RAM chips 1340 12) exchange the motherboard. 1341 1342 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 1343 module will be called apm. 1344 1345if APM 1346 1347config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND 1348 bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND" 1349 help 1350 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests.

From page 36 of the APM BIOS 1358 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 1359 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 1360 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 1361 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 1362 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 1363 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 1364 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 1365 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 1366 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 1367 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 1368 T400CDT.

These idle calls 1377 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 1378 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 1379 whenever the CPU becomes idle.

This also doesn't have anything to 1390 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this 1391 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your 1392 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console, 1393 especially if you are using gpm. 1394 1395config APM_ALLOW_INTS 1396 bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls" 1397 help 1398 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to 1399 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving 1400 BIOS implementation.
