Hi Steven,quoted
Not in ppc64_defconfig?Good point. The recent addition of powernv_defconfig made me forget about ppc64_defconfig. We could do with some rationalisation here.
Understatement of the century.
pseries isn't really pseries, perhaps we should call it ibm_defconfig, or maybe server_deconfig.
pseries should be just pseries, and nothing else.
ppc64_defconfig continues to be the lower end defconfig.
ppc64_defconfig *should* be the primary config. And similarly ppc64le when building little endian. The reason being that 'make defconfig' will give you one of those depending on uname (when building native). I think the only thing disqualifying it from that role at the moment is that it builds 4K pages. But I think we should just change that. We can add ppc64_4K_defconfig for anyone who wants it (G5 users mainly I would guess). We'd also need to make sure ppc64/ppc64le have all the modern options enabled. cheers
