parisc: Allow CONFIG_64BIT with ARCH=parisc
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 805ce86 upstream.

The previous patch triggered a build failure for the debian kernel,
which has CONFIG_64BIT enabled, uses the CROSS_COMPILER environment
variable and uses ARCH=parisc to configure the kernel for 64-bit
support.

This patch weakens the previous patch while keeping the recommended way
to configure the kernel with:
    ARCH=parisc     -> build 32-bit kernel
    ARCH=parisc64   -> build 64-bit kernel
while adding the possibility for debian to configure a 64-bit kernel
even if ARCH=parisc is set (PA8X00 CPU has to be selected and
CONFIG_64BIT needs to be enabled).

The downside of this patch is, that we now have a small window open
again where people may get it wrong: if they enable CONFIG_64BIT and try
to compile with a 32-bit compiler.

Enabling this option will probably slow down your kernel.

Enable this if you want to support 64bit kernel on PA-RISC platform.

At the moment, only people willing to use more than 2GB of RAM,
or having a 64bit-only capable PA-RISC machine should say Y here.

Since there is no 64bit userland on PA-RISC, there is no point to
enable this option otherwise. The 64bit kernel is significantly bigger
and slower than the 32bit one.
