Options revision 1.1
      1 Here is a list of hp300 specific kernel compilation options and what they
      2 mean:
      3 
      4 HAVEVAC
      5 	Compiles in support for virtually addressed cache (VAC) found on
      6 	hp320 and 350 machines.  Should only be defined when HP320 and/or
      7 	HP350 is.
      8 
      9 HP320
     10 	Support for old hp320 machines: 16mhz 68020, HP MMU, 16mhz 68881
     11 	and VAC.  Compiles in support for a VAC, HP MMU, and the 98620A
     12 	16-bit DMA channel.  Forces the definition of HAVEVAC.
     13 
     14 HP350
     15 	Support for old hp350 machines: 25mhz 68020, HP MMU, 20mhz 68881
     16 	and VAC.  Compiles in support for a VAC and the HP MMU.  Differs
     17 	from HP320 in that it has no support for 16-bit DMA controller.
     18 	Forces the definition of HAVEVAC.
     19 
     20 HP330
     21 	Support for old hp330 (and 318/319) machines: 16mhz 68020, 68551 PMMU
     22 	and 16mhz 68881.  Compiles in support for PMMU.
     23 
     24 HP360
     25 	Support for old hp360 (and 340) machines: 25mhz 68030+MMU and 25mhz
     26 	68882.  Compiles in support for PMMU and 68030.  Differs from HP330
     27 	in support for 68030 on-chip data cache.
     28 
     29 HP370
     30 	Support for old hp370 (and current 345/375/400) machines: 33 (50) mhz
     31 	68030+MMU and 33 (50) mhz 68882.  Compiles in support for PMMU, 68030
     32 	and off-chip physically addressed cache.  Differs from 360 in only one
     33 	place, in dealing with flushing the external cache.
     34 
     35 HP380
     36 	Support for "current" hp380/425 (and 433) machines: 25 (33) mhz 68040
     37 	with MMU/FPU.  Compiles in support for 68040.
     38 
     39 HPFPLIB
     40 	Compiles in support to link with HP-UX's version of Motorola's 68040
     41 	FP emulation library (hp300/hpux_float.o).  Kernel will build and run
     42 	without this option, but many binaries will core dump.  Should not be
     43 	defined unless HP380 is.
     44 
     45 
     46 USELEDS
     47 	Twinkle the hp4xx front panel (or hp3xx internal) LEDs in the HP
     48 	designated way.  Somewhat frivolous, but the heartbeat LED is
     49 	useful to see if your machine is alive.
     50 
     51 PANICBUTTON
     52 	Compiles in code which will enable a "force-crash" HIL keyboard
     53 	sequence.  When the Reset key is typed twice in succession (within
     54 	half a second) the kernel will panic.  Note that the HIL Reset key
     55 	sends a NMI to the processor which will get the CPUs attention no
     56 	matter what it is doing (i.e. as long as it isn't halted).  Alas,
     57 	also note that the NMI is only sent when the keyboard is in "cooked"
     58 	(ITE) mode.  If it is in "raw" mode (i.e. X-server is running) the
     59 	Reset key is just another keypress event.  A cheezy substitute in
     60 	this case is holding down the upper right-most unlabeled key and
     61 	then pressing the unlabeled key to its left.  Note that this only
     62 	works if HIL (level 1) interrupts are not masked.
     63 
     64 DEBUG
     65 	Compiles in a variety of consistency checks and debug printfs
     66 	throughout the hp300 MD code and device drivers.
     67 
     68 COMPAT_HPUX
     69 	Enables HP-UX binary compatibility mode.  Allows a variety of
     70 	"recent" HP-UX binaries to be run unchanged.  Due to the
     71 	evolutionary and "as-needed" nature of this code, "recent" is
     72 	anywhere from release 6.2 to 8.0 of HP-UX.  It will run 8.0
     73 	shared-library binaries (assuming all the necessary shared-libraries
     74 	are installed in the filesystem).
     75 
     76 COMPAT_OHPUX
     77 	Compile in old 4.2-ish HP-UX (pre-6.0?) compatibility code.
     78 
     79 FPCOPROC
     80 	Compile in code to support the 68881 and above FPU.  Should always
     81 	be defined, since all supported SPUs have one.  Don't even know if
     82 	it will compile, much less work,  without this option.  Defined in
     83 	the prototype makefile (hp300/conf/Makefile.hp300).
     84 
     85 DCMSTATS
     86 	Compile in code to collect a variety of transmit/receive statistics
     87 	for the 98642 4-port MUX.
     88 
     89 WAITHIST
     90 	Compile in code to collect statistics about the distribution of
     91 	wait-times for various busy waits in the SCSI host-adaptor driver.
     92 
     93 STACKCHECK
     94 	Enables two types of kernel stack checking in hp300/hp300/locore.s:
     95 	1. stack "overflow".  On every clock interrupt we ensure that
     96 	   the current kernel stack has not grown into the user struct
     97 	   page, i.e. size exceeded UPAGES-1 pages.
     98 	2. stack "underflow".  Before every rte to user mode we ensure
     99 	   that we will be exactly at the base of the stack after the
    100 	   exception frame has been popped.
    101 	This option can degrade performance considerably, use it only if
    102 	you suspect a problem with kernel stacks.
    103 
    104 SCSI_REVPRI
    105 	Changes autoconf to start matching logical SCSI devices starting
    106 	at slave 6 and working backwards instead of starting at slave 0
    107 	and working up.  Later releases of the HP boot ROM search for
    108 	boot devices in this manner.  This is apparently the order in
    109 	which priority is given to slaves on the host adaptor.  Define
    110 	this if you use wildcarding and want to stay in sync with the
    111 	boot ROM's strategy.
    112 
    113 MAPPEDCOPY
    114 	Use page remapping to do large copyin/copyouts.  When defined
    115 	the default is to use mapped copy for operations on one page
    116 	or more except on machines with virtually-indexed caches.
    117 	See initcpu() in machdep.c
    118 
    119 BUFFERS_UNMANAGED
    120 	Set up the buffer cache "below" the machine independent VM.
    121 	Normally, in startup() we use vm_map operations to initially
    122 	assign physical memory to the buffers.  This creates a map with
    123 	a huge number of map entries (twice the number of buffers)
    124 	which serve no purpose since remaining buffer operations
    125 	(i.e. pagemove) work below the MI layer anyway.  Defining this
    126 	symbol will cause startup() to use pmap operations to map the
    127 	initial pages leaving the buffer_map one big entry.
