Subject: [PATCH v3 2/8] powerpc: Remove CONFIG_PPC601_SYNC_FIX
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 06:48:33 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <55b46bff16705b1ae7bf0a60ccd522b1010ebf75.1601362098.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <27951fa6c9a8f80724d1bc81a6117ac32343a55d.1601362098.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu>
This config option isn't in any defconfig.
The very first versions of Powerpc 601 have a bug which
requires additional sync before and/or after some instructions.
This was more than 25 years ago and time has come to retire
those buggy versions of the 601 from the kernel.

- Some versions of the PPC601 (the first PowerPC chip) have bugs which
- mean that extra synchronization instructions are required near
- certain instructions, typically those that make major changes to the
- CPU state. These extra instructions reduce performance slightly.
- If you say N here, these extra instructions will not be included,
- resulting in a kernel which will run faster but may not run at all
- on some systems with the PPC601 chip.

- If in doubt, say Y here.
