| help |
| Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems. |
| However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4 |
| Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of |
| physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the |
| kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called |
| "high memory". |
| |
| If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with |
| more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default |
| choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB" |
| split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory |
| space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used |
| by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as |
| possible. |

| On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) |
| the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control |
| processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have |
| a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining |
| allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer |
| before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance |
| of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a |
| /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's |
| MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. |
| |
| This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar |
| control registers on other processors can be easily supported |
| as well: |
| |
| The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range |
| Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For |
| these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. |
| The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two |
| MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing |
| write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code |
| and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. |
| |
| Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only |
| set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This |
| can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. |

| it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical |
| address. |
| |
| In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option |

| address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want |

| command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed |
| kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst |
| for more details about crash dumps. |
| |
| Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as |
| one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used |
| as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have |
| gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it |
| is present because there are users out there who continue to use |
| vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the |
| line. |

| Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop. |
| On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as |
| a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls |
| are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., |
| 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or |
| whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU, |

| virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by |
| the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight |
| when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to |
| do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this |

| needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in |
| many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you |

| help |
| On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and |
| determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards |
| have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded |
| PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to |
| detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS. |
| |
| With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the |
| PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used, |
| if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you |
| choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used. |
| If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the |
| direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't |
| work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any". |
