  127. This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
  128. a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
  129. you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
  130. If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
  131. machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
  132. you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
  133. singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
  134. will run faster if you say N here.
  135. Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
  136. "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
  137. architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
  138. architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
  139. People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
  140. Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
  141. Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

  764. a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
  765. a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
  766. give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
  767. coprocessor or this emulation.
  768. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
  769. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  770. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
  771. command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
  772. is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
  773. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  774. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
  775. intend to use this kernel on different machines.
  776. More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
  777. emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

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

  1017. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1018. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1019. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1020. machines with more than one CPU.
  1021. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1022. and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
  1023. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from

  1030. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1031. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1032. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1033. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1034. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1035. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1036. APM in your BIOS).
  1037. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
