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