+====== Information ======
+  * Various kernel options
+  * https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html
 ====== General ======
-===== IOMMU =====
+===== Low-Latency =====
-  * If IOMMU is disabled in BIOS, this isn't needed
+****
-  * ''iommu=off'' should not be used ([[http://www.xillybus.com/tutorials/iommu-swiotlb-linux|source]])
-  sudo grubby --update-kernel='ALL' --args='iommu=pt'
+  preempt='full' threadirqs nohz='off'
-  iommu=pt
+===== OSI =====
-===== NVMe =====
+  * https://forum.manjaro.org/t/how-to-choose-the-proper-acpi-kernel-argument/1405
+  * https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/acpi/winacpi-osi
-  * :!: This may need adjusted for different CPU core counts
+  acpi_osi='Linux'
-  * :!: Using ''8'' when SMT is disabled with a 2700X does **not** work as-expected ((either don't use this with SMT off, or keep SMT on))
-  sudo grubby --args='nvme.poll_queues=16' --update-kernel='ALL'
+  acpi_osi='Windows 2017'
-  nvme.poll_queues=16
+===== Modern Standby =====

+===== PCI =====
+****
+  pci='pcie_bus_perf,realloc,pcie_scan_all,big_root_window'
+===== Interrupt Remapping =====
+****
-  cat '/proc/interrupts'
+  intremap='off'
 ===== Custom Resolution =====
   * For an Acer S271H7 even though it can do 75Hz, this option sets one of the display timings too-high and 75Hz can't be reduced-blanked here; 74Hz is close enough
-  * :!: TODO: How to reduce-blank this?
+  * Necessary for Wayland, and also seemingly works as an alternative to ''xorg.conf'' on Xorg
-  * This is necessary for Wayland, but also carries over to Xorg
+  * ''HDMI-A-1'' is the same for an AMD 6600 XT and Intel UHD 630, it's possible this works for all GPUs?
-  * :!: Refresh rate mismatch between Moonlight clients and Gamestream hosts computers introduces stuttering

-====== NVIDIA ======

+===== Memory Encryption =====
-  * TODO: Find information about this
+  * https://fwupd.github.io/libfwupdplugin/hsi.html#org.fwupd.hsi.EncryptedRam
+  * :!: Requires CPU SVM to be enabled in BIOS ((AMDGPU will likely panic on-boot if ''mem_encrypt'' is enabled without SVM))
+  * Disable TSME in BIOS if using this

+===== Overclocking =====
-  * https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/515.65.01/README/gsp.html
+  * Allows use of Overdrive options for overclocking and increasing the Power Limit
-  * Allows loading of GSP firmware
+  * See [[https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/include/amd_shared.h#L203|amd_shared.h]] for more ''PP_FEATURE_MASK'' values
-  * This doesn't appear necessary for the open kernel module
+  * :!: ''0xffffffff'' can be used to enable everything, but may cause issues with unstable features
-  * :!: 2022/07/20 515.57: this causes AoE2:DE to crash GNOME on-startup
