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.
