133 bool "52xx/6xx/7xx/74xx"
137 There are four families of PowerPC chips supported. The more common
138 types (601, 603, 604, 740, 750, 7400), the Motorola embedded
139 versions (821, 823, 850, 855, 860, 52xx, 82xx, 83xx), the AMCC
140 embedded versions (403 and 405) and the high end 64 bit Power
141 processors (POWER 3, POWER4, and IBM PPC970 also known as G5).
143 This option is the catch-all for 6xx types, including some of the
144 embedded versions. Unless there is see an option for the specific
145 chip family you are using, you want this option.
147 You do not want this if you are building a kernel for a 64 bit
148 IBM RS/6000 or an Apple G5, choose 6xx.

286 bool "AltiVec Support"
287 depends on CLASSIC32 || POWER4
289 This option enables kernel support for the Altivec extensions to the
290 PowerPC processor. The kernel currently supports saving and restoring
291 altivec registers, and turning on the 'altivec enable' bit so user
292 processes can execute altivec instructions.
294 This option is only usefully if you have a processor that supports
295 altivec (G4, otherwise known as 74xx series), but does not have
296 any affect on a non-altivec cpu (it does, however add code to the

307 Extensions (SPE) to the PowerPC processor. The kernel currently
308 supports saving and restoring SPE registers, and turning on the
309 'spe enable' bit so user processes can execute SPE instructions.
311 This option is only useful if you have a processor that supports
312 SPE (e500, otherwise known as 85xx series), but does not have any
313 effect on a non-spe cpu (it does, however add code to the kernel).

326 config VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
327 bool "Deterministic task and CPU time accounting"
331 Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
332 accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
333 kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
334 between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
335 small performance impact. This also enables accounting of
336 stolen time on logically-partitioned systems running on
337 IBM POWER5-based machines.
339 If in doubt, say Y here.
342 depends on PPC_STD_MMU
343 bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
345 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
346 a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more
347 than one CPU, say Y. Note that the kernel does not currently
348 support SMP machines with 603/603e/603ev or PPC750 ("G3") processors
349 since they have inadequate hardware support for multiprocessor
352 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
353 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
354 you say Y here, the kernel will run on single-processor machines.
355 On a single-processor machine, the kernel will run faster if you say

409 a floating-point unit and therefore do not implement the
410 floating-point instructions in the PowerPC instruction set. If you
411 say Y here, the kernel will include code to emulate a floating-point
412 unit, which will allow programs that use floating-point
416 bool "Enable IOMMU virtual merging (EXPERIMENTAL)"
417 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPC64
420 Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
421 by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
422 This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
423 drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
424 from *_map_sg(). Say Y if you know the drivers you are using are
425 properly handling this case.
428 bool "Support for enabling/disabling CPUs"
429 depends on SMP && HOTPLUG && EXPERIMENTAL && (PPC_PSERIES || PPC_PMAC)

436 config ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
440 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
441 depends on PPC_MULTIPLATFORM && EXPERIMENTAL
443 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
444 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
445 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
446 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
448 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
450 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
451 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
452 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
453 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
454 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
457 bool "Build a kdump crash kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
458 depends on PPC_MULTIPLATFORM && PPC64 && EXPERIMENTAL
460 Build a kernel suitable for use as a kdump capture kernel.
461 The kernel will be linked at a different address than normal, and
462 so can only be used for Kdump.

483 This option gives the kernel permission to distribute IRQs across

485 CPU. Generally saying Y is safe, although some problems have been

531 depends on NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES
537 This option changes the kernel logical page size to 64k. On machines
538 without processor support for 64k pages, the kernel will simulate
539 them by loading each individual 4k page on demand transparently,
540 while on hardware with such support, it will be used to map
541 normal application pages.
544 bool "SMT (Hyperthreading) scheduler support"
545 depends on PPC64 && SMP
547 SMT scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision making
548 when dealing with POWER5 cpus at a cost of slightly increased
549 overhead in some places. If unsure say N here.

552 bool "Support for device tree in /proc"
555 This option adds a device-tree directory under /proc which contains
556 an image of the device tree that the kernel copies from Open

570 most cases you will need to specify the root device here.

577 bool "Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode"
581 This kernel feature is useful for number crunching applications
582 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their
583 execution. By using pipes or other transports made available to
584 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
585 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
586 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
587 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
588 and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls
589 defined by each seccomp mode.
