Strange. It does for me.



masahiro@grover:~/ref/linux-next$ make ARCH=parisc64 defconfig
*** Default configuration is based on 'generic-64bit_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
masahiro@grover:~/ref/linux-next$ grep CONFIG_64BIT .config
CONFIG_64BIT=y

Right.
allmodconfig does not set CONFIG_64BIT.

I think it is the same as before.
Is this thread related?



The reason is 64BIT depends on PA8X00.

allmodconfig chooses PA7000 instead of PA8X00
in the "Processor type" choice since
PA7000 is the default.


If you apply this patch,



diff --git a/arch/parisc/Kconfig b/arch/parisc/Kconfig
index 7f059cd1196a..458b8e22e240 100644
--- a/arch/parisc/Kconfig
+++ b/arch/parisc/Kconfig
@@ -146,7 +146,7 @@ menu "Processor type and features"

 choice
        prompt "Processor type"
-       default PA7000
+       default PA8X00

 config PA7000
        bool "PA7000/PA7100"





allmodconfig will start enabling CONFIG_64BIT,
but it is up to Helge.
