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

235 depends on CLASSIC32 || POWER4
237 This option enables kernel support for the Altivec extensions to the
238 PowerPC processor. The kernel currently supports saving and restoring
239 altivec registers, and turning on the 'altivec enable' bit so user
240 processes can execute altivec instructions.
242 This option is only usefully if you have a processor that supports
243 altivec (G4, otherwise known as 74xx series), but does not have

255 Extensions (SPE) to the PowerPC processor. The kernel currently
256 supports saving and restoring SPE registers, and turning on the

259 This option is only useful if you have a processor that supports

280 accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
281 kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
282 between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
283 small performance impact. This also enables accounting of
284 stolen time on logically-partitioned systems running on

295 than one CPU, say Y. Note that the kernel does not currently
296 support SMP machines with 603/603e/603ev or PPC750 ("G3") processors

515 depends on 6xx && (PPC_PREP || PPC_PMAC)
517 Some versions of the PPC601 (the first PowerPC chip) have bugs which
518 mean that extra synchronization instructions are required near
519 certain instructions, typically those that make major changes to the
520 CPU state. These extra instructions reduce performance slightly.
521 If you say N here, these extra instructions will not be included,
522 resulting in a kernel which will run faster but may not run at all
523 on some systems with the PPC601 chip.
525 If in doubt, say Y here.
528 bool "On-chip CPU temperature sensor support"
531 G3 and G4 processors have an on-chip temperature sensor called the
532 'Thermal Assist Unit (TAU)', which, in theory, can measure the on-die
533 temperature within 2-4 degrees Celsius. This option shows the current
534 on-die temperature in /proc/cpuinfo if the cpu supports it.
536 Unfortunately, on some chip revisions, this sensor is very inaccurate
537 and in many cases, does not work at all, so don't assume the cpu
538 temp is actually what /proc/cpuinfo says it is.
541 bool "Interrupt driven TAU driver (DANGEROUS)"
544 The TAU supports an interrupt driven mode which causes an interrupt
545 whenever the temperature goes out of range. This is the fastest way
546 to get notified the temp has exceeded a range. With this option off,
547 a timer is used to re-check the temperature periodically.
549 However, on some cpus it appears that the TAU interrupt hardware
550 is buggy and can cause a situation which would lead unexplained hard
553 Unless you are extending the TAU driver, or enjoy kernel/hardware
554 debugging, leave this option off.
557 bool "Average high and low temp"
560 The TAU hardware can compare the temperature to an upper and lower
561 bound. The default behavior is to show both the upper and lower
562 bound in /proc/cpuinfo. If the range is large, the temperature is
563 either changing a lot, or the TAU hardware is broken (likely on some
564 G4's). If the range is small (around 4 degrees), the temperature is
565 relatively stable. If you say Y here, a single temperature value,
566 halfway between the upper and lower bounds, will be reported in
569 If in doubt, say N here.

610 Some PowerPC chips designed for embedded applications do not have
611 a floating-point unit and therefore do not implement the
612 floating-point instructions in the PowerPC instruction set. If you

614 unit, which will allow programs that use floating-point
618 bool "Enable IOMMU virtual merging (EXPERIMENTAL)"
619 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PPC64
622 Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
623 by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
624 This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
625 drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
626 from *_map_sg(). Say Y if you know the drivers you are using are
627 properly handling this case.
630 bool "Support for enabling/disabling CPUs"
631 depends on SMP && HOTPLUG && EXPERIMENTAL && (PPC_PSERIES || PPC_PMAC)

638 config ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
642 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"
643 depends on PPC_MULTIPLATFORM && EXPERIMENTAL
645 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
646 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
647 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
648 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
650 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
652 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
653 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
654 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
655 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
656 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
659 bool "Build a kdump crash kernel (EXPERIMENTAL)"
660 depends on PPC_MULTIPLATFORM && PPC64 && EXPERIMENTAL

736 normal application pages.

780 that may need to compute untrusted bytecode during their

782 the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write
783 syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in
784 their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is
785 enabled via /proc/<pid>/seccomp, it cannot be disabled
