      3 Here is a list of hp300 specific kernel compilation options and what they
      4 mean:
      5 
      6 HAVEVAC
      7 	Compiles in support for virtually addressed cache (VAC) found on
      8 	hp320 and 350 machines.  Should only be defined when HP320 and/or
      9 	HP350 is.
     10 
     11 HP320
     12 	Support for old hp320 machines: 16 MHz 68020, HP MMU, 16 MHz 68881
     13 	and VAC.  Compiles in support for a VAC, HP MMU, and the 98620A
     14 	16-bit DMA channel.  Forces the definition of HAVEVAC.
     15 
     16 HP350
     17 	Support for old hp350 machines: 25 MHz 68020, HP MMU, 20 MHz 68881
     18 	and VAC.  Compiles in support for a VAC and the HP MMU.  Differs
     19 	from HP320 in that it has no support for 16-bit DMA controller.
     20 	Forces the definition of HAVEVAC.
     21 
     22 HP330
     23 	Support for old hp330 (and 318/319) machines: 16 MHz 68020, 68851 PMMU
     24 	and 16 MHz 68881.  Compiles in support for PMMU.
     25 
     26 HP340
     27 HP360
     28 	Support for old 340 and hp360 machines: 25 MHz 68030+MMU and 25 MHz
     29 	68882.  Compiles in support for PMMU and 68030.  Differs from HP330
     30 	in support for 68030 on-chip data cache.
     31 
     32 HP370
     33 	Support for old hp370 (and current 345/375/400) machines: 33 (50) MHz
     34 	68030+MMU and 33 (50) MHz 68882.  Compiles in support for PMMU, 68030
     35 	and off-chip physically addressed cache.  Differs from 360 in only one
     36 	place, in dealing with flushing the external cache.
     37 
     38 HP380
     39 	Support for "current" hp380/425 (and 433) machines: 25 (33) MHz 68040
     40 	with MMU/FPU.  Compiles in support for 68040.
     41 
     42 FPSP
     43 	Compiles in support to link with Motorola's 68040 FP emulation
     44 	library.  Kernel will build and run without this option, but many
     45 	binaries will core dump.  Should not be defined unless HP380 is.
     46 
     47 
     48 USELEDS
     49 	Twinkle the hp4xx front panel (or hp3xx internal) LEDs in the HP
     50 	designated way.  Somewhat frivolous, but the heartbeat LED is
     51 	useful to see if your machine is alive.
     52 
     53 PANICBUTTON
     54 	Compiles in code which will enable a "force-crash" HIL keyboard
     55 	sequence.  When the Reset key is typed twice in succession (within
     56 	half a second) the kernel will panic.  Note that the HIL Reset key
     57 	sends a NMI to the processor which will get the CPUs attention no
     58 	matter what it is doing (i.e. as long as it isn't halted).  Alas,
     59 	also note that the NMI is only sent when the keyboard is in "cooked"
     60 	(ITE) mode.  If it is in "raw" mode (i.e. X-server is running) the
     61 	Reset key is just another keypress event.  A cheezy substitute in
     62 	this case is holding down the upper right-most unlabeled key and
     63 	then pressing the unlabeled key to its left.  Note that this only
     64 	works if HIL (level 1) interrupts are not masked.
     65 
     66 DEBUG
     67 	Compiles in a variety of consistency checks and debug printfs
     68 	throughout the hp300 MD code and device drivers.
     69 
     70 DCMSTATS
     71 	Compile in code to collect a variety of transmit/receive statistics
     72 	for the 98642 4-port MUX.
     73 
     74 WAITHIST
     75 	Compile in code to collect statistics about the distribution of
     76 	wait-times for various busy waits in the SCSI host-adaptor driver.
     77 
     78 STACKCHECK
     79 	Enables two types of kernel stack checking in hp300/hp300/locore.s:
     80 	1. stack "overflow".  On every clock interrupt we ensure that
     81 	   the current kernel stack has not grown into the user struct
     82 	   page, i.e. size exceeded UPAGES-1 pages.
     83 	2. stack "underflow".  Before every rte to user mode we ensure
     84 	   that we will be exactly at the base of the stack after the
     85 	   exception frame has been popped.
     86 	This option can degrade performance considerably, use it only if
     87 	you suspect a problem with kernel stacks.
     88 
     89 SCSI_REVPRI
     90 	Changes autoconf to start matching logical SCSI devices starting
     91 	at slave 6 and working backwards instead of starting at slave 0
     92 	and working up.  Later releases of the HP boot ROM search for
     93 	boot devices in this manner.  This is apparently the order in
     94 	which priority is given to slaves on the host adaptor.  Define
     95 	this if you use wildcarding and want to stay in sync with the
     96 	boot ROM's strategy.
     97 
     98 MAPPEDCOPY
     99 	Use page remapping to do large copyin/copyouts.  When defined
    100 	the default is to use mapped copy for operations on one page
    101 	or more except on machines with virtually-indexed caches.
    102 	See initcpu() in machdep.c
    103 
    104 BUFFERS_UNMANAGED
    105 	Set up the buffer cache "below" the machine independent VM.
    106 	Normally, in startup() we use vm_map operations to initially
    107 	assign physical memory to the buffers.  This creates a map with
    108 	a huge number of map entries (twice the number of buffers)
    109 	which serve no purpose since remaining buffer operations
    110 	(i.e. pagemove) work below the MI layer anyway.  Defining this
    111 	symbol will cause startup() to use pmap operations to map the
    112 	initial pages leaving the buffer_map one big entry.
