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 COMPAT_HPUX
71 Enables HP-UX binary compatibility mode. Allows a variety of
72 "recent" HP-UX binaries to be run unchanged. Due to the
73 evolutionary and "as-needed" nature of this code, "recent" is
74 anywhere from release 6.2 to 8.0 of HP-UX. It will run 8.0
75 shared-library binaries (assuming all the necessary shared-libraries
76 are installed in the filesystem).
77
78 COMPAT_OHPUX
79 Compile in old 4.2-ish HP-UX (pre-6.0?) compatibility code.
80
81 DCMSTATS
82 Compile in code to collect a variety of transmit/receive statistics
83 for the 98642 4-port MUX.
84
85 WAITHIST
86 Compile in code to collect statistics about the distribution of
87 wait-times for various busy waits in the SCSI host-adaptor driver.
88
89 STACKCHECK
90 Enables two types of kernel stack checking in hp300/hp300/locore.s:
91 1. stack "overflow". On every clock interrupt we ensure that
92 the current kernel stack has not grown into the user struct
93 page, i.e. size exceeded UPAGES-1 pages.
94 2. stack "underflow". Before every rte to user mode we ensure
95 that we will be exactly at the base of the stack after the
96 exception frame has been popped.
97 This option can degrade performance considerably, use it only if
98 you suspect a problem with kernel stacks.
99
100 SCSI_REVPRI
101 Changes autoconf to start matching logical SCSI devices starting
102 at slave 6 and working backwards instead of starting at slave 0
103 and working up. Later releases of the HP boot ROM search for
104 boot devices in this manner. This is apparently the order in
105 which priority is given to slaves on the host adaptor. Define
106 this if you use wildcarding and want to stay in sync with the
107 boot ROM's strategy.
108
109 MAPPEDCOPY
110 Use page remapping to do large copyin/copyouts. When defined
111 the default is to use mapped copy for operations on one page
112 or more except on machines with virtually-indexed caches.
113 See initcpu() in machdep.c
114
115 BUFFERS_UNMANAGED
116 Set up the buffer cache "below" the machine independent VM.
117 Normally, in startup() we use vm_map operations to initially
118 assign physical memory to the buffers. This creates a map with
119 a huge number of map entries (twice the number of buffers)
120 which serve no purpose since remaining buffer operations
121 (i.e. pagemove) work below the MI layer anyway. Defining this
122 symbol will cause startup() to use pmap operations to map the
123 initial pages leaving the buffer_map one big entry.
