help
MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) introduces 128 bit wide vector registers
and a set of SIMD instructions to operate on them. When this option
- is enabled the kernel will support detection of the MSA ASE. If you
- know that your kernel will only be running on CPUs which do not
- support MSA then you may wish to say N here to reduce the size of
- your kernel.
+ is enabled the kernel will support allocating & switching MSA
+ vector register contexts. If you know that your kernel will only be
+ running on CPUs which do not support MSA or that your userland will
+ not be making use of it then you may wish to say N here to reduce
+ the size & complexity of your kernel.
If unsure, say Y.
