[PATCH v3 2/8] powerpc: Remove CONFIG_PPC601_SYNC_FIX

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Sep 29 2020 - 02:48:47 EST


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.

- bool "Workarounds for PPC601 bugs"
- depends on PPC_BOOK3S_601 && PPC_PMAC
- default y
- help
- 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.
