This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you 1093 intend to use this kernel on different machines. 1094 1095 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor 1096 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>. 1097 1098 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger 1099 kernel, it won't hurt. 1100 1101config MTRR 1102 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" 1103 ---help--- 1104 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) 1105 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control 1106 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have 1107 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining 1108 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer 1109 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance 1110 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a 1111 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's 1112 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. 1113 1114 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar 1115 control registers on other processors can be easily supported 1116 as well: 1117 1118 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range 1119 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For 1120 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. 1121 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two 1122 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing 1123 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code 1124 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. 1125 1126 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only 1127 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This 1128 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. 1129 1130 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll 1131 just add about 9 KB to your kernel. 1132 1133 See <file:Documentation/mtrr.txt> for more information. 1134 1135config MTRR_SANITIZER 1136 def_bool y 1137 prompt "MTRR cleanup support" 1138 depends on MTRR 1139 help 1140 Convert MTRR layout from continuous to discrete, so some X driver 1141 could add WB entries. 1142 1143 Say N here if you see bootup problems (boot crash, boot hang, 1144 spontaneous reboots). 1145 1146 Could be disabled with disable_mtrr_cleanup.

The crash dump kernel must be compiled 1276 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using 1277 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image 1278 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y). 1279 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt 1280 1281config PHYSICAL_START 1282 hex "Physical address where the kernel is loaded" if (EMBEDDED || CRASH_DUMP) 1283 default "0x1000000" if X86_NUMAQ 1284 default "0x200000" if X86_64 1285 default "0x100000" 1286 help 1287 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded. 1288 1289 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then 1290 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and 1291 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where 1292 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical 1293 address. 1294 1295 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option 1296 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image 1297 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different 1298 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want 1299 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a 1300 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs 1301 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area 1302 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy. 1303 1304 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave 1305 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. 1306 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump 1307 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB 1308 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as 1309 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter 1310 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as 1311 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at 1312 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps. 1313 1314 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as 1315 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used 1316 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have 1317 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it 1318 is present because there are users out there who continue to use 1319 vmlinux for dump capture.

Kernel is compiled for an 1350 address which meets above alignment restriction. 1351 1352 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and 1353 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, kernel will move itself to nearest 1354 address aligned to above value and run from there. 1355 1356 If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and 1357 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set, kernel will ignore the run time 1358 load address and decompress itself to the address it has been 1359 compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is 1360 compiled already meets above alignment restrictions.

This 1492 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 1493 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 1494 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 1495 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending.
