163 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
164 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
165 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
166
167 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
168 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
169 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
170 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
171 will run faster if you say N here.
172
173 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
174 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
175 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
176 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

692 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
693 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
694 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
695 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
696 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
697 "high memory".
698
699 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
700 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
701 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
702 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
703 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
704 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
705 possible.
706
707 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
708 answer "4GB" here.
709
710 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
711 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
712 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
713 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
714 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
715 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
716
717 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
718 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
719 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
720 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
721 kernel at boot time.)

919 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point

921 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
922 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
923 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
924 coprocessor or this emulation.
925
926 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
927 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
928 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
929 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
930 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
931 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
932 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
933 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
934
935 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
936 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

942 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
943 ---help---
944 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
945 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
946 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
947 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
948 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
949 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
950 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
951 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
952 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
953
954 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
955 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
956 as well:
957
958 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
959 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
960 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
961 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
962 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
963 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
964 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
965
966 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
967 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
968 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
969
970 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
971 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1093 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical

1096 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1097 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1098 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1099 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1100 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1101 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1102 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1103 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1104
1105 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1106 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1107 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1108 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1109 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1110 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1111 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1112 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1113 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1114
1115 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1116 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1117 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1118 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1119 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1120 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
