Options revision 1.2 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 FPSP
40 Compiles in support to link with Motorola's 68040 FP emulation
41 library. Kernel will build and run without this option, but many
42 binaries will core dump. Should not be defined unless HP380 is.
43
44
45 USELEDS
46 Twinkle the hp4xx front panel (or hp3xx internal) LEDs in the HP
47 designated way. Somewhat frivolous, but the heartbeat LED is
48 useful to see if your machine is alive.
49
50 PANICBUTTON
51 Compiles in code which will enable a "force-crash" HIL keyboard
52 sequence. When the Reset key is typed twice in succession (within
53 half a second) the kernel will panic. Note that the HIL Reset key
54 sends a NMI to the processor which will get the CPUs attention no
55 matter what it is doing (i.e. as long as it isn't halted). Alas,
56 also note that the NMI is only sent when the keyboard is in "cooked"
57 (ITE) mode. If it is in "raw" mode (i.e. X-server is running) the
58 Reset key is just another keypress event. A cheezy substitute in
59 this case is holding down the upper right-most unlabeled key and
60 then pressing the unlabeled key to its left. Note that this only
61 works if HIL (level 1) interrupts are not masked.
62
63 DEBUG
64 Compiles in a variety of consistency checks and debug printfs
65 throughout the hp300 MD code and device drivers.
66
67 COMPAT_HPUX
68 Enables HP-UX binary compatibility mode. Allows a variety of
69 "recent" HP-UX binaries to be run unchanged. Due to the
70 evolutionary and "as-needed" nature of this code, "recent" is
71 anywhere from release 6.2 to 8.0 of HP-UX. It will run 8.0
72 shared-library binaries (assuming all the necessary shared-libraries
73 are installed in the filesystem).
74
75 COMPAT_OHPUX
76 Compile in old 4.2-ish HP-UX (pre-6.0?) compatibility code.
77
78 FPCOPROC
79 Compile in code to support the 68881 and above FPU. Should always
80 be defined, since all supported SPUs have one. Don't even know if
81 it will compile, much less work, without this option. Defined in
82 the prototype makefile (hp300/conf/Makefile.hp300).
83
84 DCMSTATS
85 Compile in code to collect a variety of transmit/receive statistics
86 for the 98642 4-port MUX.
87
88 WAITHIST
89 Compile in code to collect statistics about the distribution of
90 wait-times for various busy waits in the SCSI host-adaptor driver.
91
92 STACKCHECK
93 Enables two types of kernel stack checking in hp300/hp300/locore.s:
94 1. stack "overflow". On every clock interrupt we ensure that
95 the current kernel stack has not grown into the user struct
96 page, i.e. size exceeded UPAGES-1 pages.
97 2. stack "underflow". Before every rte to user mode we ensure
98 that we will be exactly at the base of the stack after the
99 exception frame has been popped.
100 This option can degrade performance considerably, use it only if
101 you suspect a problem with kernel stacks.
102
103 SCSI_REVPRI
104 Changes autoconf to start matching logical SCSI devices starting
105 at slave 6 and working backwards instead of starting at slave 0
106 and working up. Later releases of the HP boot ROM search for
107 boot devices in this manner. This is apparently the order in
108 which priority is given to slaves on the host adaptor. Define
109 this if you use wildcarding and want to stay in sync with the
110 boot ROM's strategy.
111
112 MAPPEDCOPY
113 Use page remapping to do large copyin/copyouts. When defined
114 the default is to use mapped copy for operations on one page
115 or more except on machines with virtually-indexed caches.
116 See initcpu() in machdep.c
117
118 BUFFERS_UNMANAGED
119 Set up the buffer cache "below" the machine independent VM.
120 Normally, in startup() we use vm_map operations to initially
121 assign physical memory to the buffers. This creates a map with
122 a huge number of map entries (twice the number of buffers)
123 which serve no purpose since remaining buffer operations
124 (i.e. pagemove) work below the MI layer anyway. Defining this
125 symbol will cause startup() to use pmap operations to map the
126 initial pages leaving the buffer_map one big entry.
