87 There are four families of PowerPC chips supported. The more common
88 types (601, 603, 604, 740, 750, 7400), the Motorola embedded
89 versions (821, 823, 850, 855, 860, 52xx, 82xx, 83xx), the AMCC
90 embedded versions (403 and 405) and the high end 64 bit Power
91 processors (POWER 3, POWER4, and IBM PPC970 also known as G5).
93 Unless you are building a kernel for one of the embedded processor
94 systems, 64 bit IBM RS/6000 or an Apple G5, choose 6xx.

175 PowerPC processor. The kernel currently supports saving and restoring
176 altivec registers, and turning on the 'altivec enable' bit so user
177 processes can execute altivec instructions.
179 This option is only usefully if you have a processor that supports

435 bool "Workarounds for PPC601 bugs"
436 depends on 6xx && (PPC_PREP || PPC_PMAC)
438 Some versions of the PPC601 (the first PowerPC chip) have bugs which
439 mean that extra synchronization instructions are required near
440 certain instructions, typically those that make major changes to the
441 CPU state. These extra instructions reduce performance slightly.
442 If you say N here, these extra instructions will not be included,
443 resulting in a kernel which will run faster but may not run at all
444 on some systems with the PPC601 chip.
446 If in doubt, say Y here.
449 bool "Thermal Management Support"
452 G3 and G4 processors have an on-chip temperature sensor called the
453 'Thermal Assist Unit (TAU)', which, in theory, can measure the on-die
454 temperature within 2-4 degrees Celsius. This option shows the current
455 on-die temperature in /proc/cpuinfo if the cpu supports it.
457 Unfortunately, on some chip revisions, this sensor is very inaccurate
458 and in some cases, does not work at all, so don't assume the cpu
459 temp is actually what /proc/cpuinfo says it is.
462 bool "Interrupt driven TAU driver (DANGEROUS)"
465 The TAU supports an interrupt driven mode which causes an interrupt
466 whenever the temperature goes out of range. This is the fastest way
467 to get notified the temp has exceeded a range. With this option off,
468 a timer is used to re-check the temperature periodically.
470 However, on some cpus it appears that the TAU interrupt hardware
471 is buggy and can cause a situation which would lead unexplained hard
474 Unless you are extending the TAU driver, or enjoy kernel/hardware
475 debugging, leave this option off.
478 bool "Average high and low temp"
481 The TAU hardware can compare the temperature to an upper and lower
482 bound. The default behavior is to show both the upper and lower
483 bound in /proc/cpuinfo. If the range is large, the temperature is
484 either changing a lot, or the TAU hardware is broken (likely on some
485 G4's). If the range is small (around 4 degrees), the temperature is
486 relatively stable. If you say Y here, a single temperature value,
487 halfway between the upper and lower bounds, will be reported in
490 If in doubt, say N here.

522 Some PowerPC chips designed for embedded applications do not have
523 a floating-point unit and therefore do not implement the
524 floating-point instructions in the PowerPC instruction set. If you
525 say Y here, the kernel will include code to emulate a floating-point
526 unit, which will allow programs that use floating-point
530 bool "Enable IOMMU virtual merging (EXPERIMENTAL)"
531 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPC64
534 Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
535 by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
536 This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
537 drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
538 from *_map_sg(). Say Y if you know the drivers you are using are
539 properly handling this case.
542 bool "Support for enabling/disabling CPUs"
543 depends on SMP && HOTPLUG && EXPERIMENTAL && (PPC_PSERIES || PPC_PMAC)
545 Say Y here to be able to disable and re-enable individual
546 CPUs at runtime on SMP machines.
548 Say N if you are unsure.
551 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
552 depends on PPC_MULTIPLATFORM && EXPERIMENTAL
554 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
555 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
556 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
557 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
559 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
561 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
562 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
563 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
564 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
565 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

584 This option gives the kernel permission to distribute IRQs across

628 them by loading each individual 4k page on demand transparently,
629 while on hardware with such support, it will be used to map
630 normal application pages.
633 bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"
634 depends on PPC64 && SMP
637 SMT scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making
638 when dealing with POWER5 cpus at a cost of slightly increased
639 overhead in some places. If unsure say N here.

670 bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
674 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
675 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
676 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
677 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
678 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
679 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
680 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
681 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
