[POWERPC] Fix zImage-dtb.initrd build error

2008-03-12T23:09:26Z

The pattern substitution rules were failing when used with zImage-dtb targets. If zImage-dtb.initrd was selected, the pattern substitution would generate "zImage.initrd-dtb" instead of "zImage-dtb.initrd" which caused the build to fail. This renames zImage-dtb to dtbImage to avoid the problem entirely. By not using the zImage prefix then is no potential for namespace collisions.

x86: fix vdso_install breaks user "make install"

2008-02-19T15:18:34Z

I suggest to make the vdso_install step independent as in following patch. This solves the issue at ahnd and still gives us the posibility to install the files should they be needed. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

[POWERPC] bootwrapper: Build multiple cuImages

2008-02-07T00:40:19Z

Currently, the kernel uses CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE to wrap a kernel image with a fdt blob which means for any given configuration only one dts file can be selected and so support for only one board can be built This moves the selection of the default .dts file out of the kernel config and into the bootwrapper makefile. The makefile chooses which images to build based on the kernel config and the dts source file name is taken directly from the image name. For example "cuImage.ebony" will use "ebony.dts" as the device tree source file. In addition, this patch allows a specific image to be requested from the command line by adding "cuImage.%" and "treeImage.%" targets to the list of valid built targets in arch/powerpc/Makefile. This allows the default dts selection to be overridden. Another advantage to this change is it allows a single defconfig to be supplied for all boards using the same chip family and only differing in the device tree. Important note: This patch adds two new zImage targets; zImage.dtb.% and zImage.dtb.initrd.% for zImages with embedded dtb files. Currently there are 5 platforms which require this: ps3, ep405, mpc885ads, ep88xc, adder875-redboot and ep8248e. This patch *changes the zImage filenames* for those platforms. ie. 'zImage.ps3' is now 'zImage.dtb.ps3'. This new zImage.dtb targets were added so that the .dts file could be part of the dependancies list for building them.

[POWERPC] Implement 'make bootwrapper_install'

2007-12-06T03:44:30Z

This adds a 'bootwrapper_install' make target for the powerpc architecture, which installs the wrapper script, intermediate object files and device-tree sources for later use. This will then allow bootable zImages to be created other than in the context of a kernel build. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Add -mno-spe for ARCH=powerpc builds

2007-11-09T09:47:29Z

Newer GCC's are capable of autovectorization for ISA extensions like AltiVec and SPE. If we happen to build with one of those compilers we will get SPE instructions in random kernel code. Today we only allow basic interger code in the kernel and FP, AltiVec, or SPE in special explicit locations that have handled the proper saving and restoring of the register state (since on uniprocessor we lazy context switch the register state for FP, AltiVec, and SPE). -mno-spe disables the compiler for automatically generating SPE instructions without our knowledge.

kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CPP

2007-10-15T20:17:25Z

The variable CPPFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. This patch replace use of CPPFLAGS with KBUILD_CPPFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CPPFLAGS=... to specify additional CPP commandline options. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to AS

2007-10-15T19:59:31Z

The variable AFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of AFLAGS with KBUILD_AFLAGS all over the tree. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CC

2007-10-14T20:21:35Z

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CFLAGS=... to specify additional gcc commandline options. One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check that nothing got rebuild.

[POWERPC] Select proper defconfig for crosscompiles

2007-10-03T02:02:44Z

The trick for finding the right defconfig is neat, but you forgot to provide an i686_defconfig. ;-) More seriously, cross compiling the defconfig is often useful, e.g. for testing the compilation of patches that touch multiple architectures, and this patch therefore chooses g5_defconfig if $(CROSS_COMPILE) is non-empty.

[POWERPC] powerpc vDSO: install unstripped copies on disk

2007-10-03T02:02:43Z

This keeps an unstripped copy of the vDSO images built before they are stripped and embedded in the kernel. The unstripped copies get installed in $(MODLIB)/vdso/ by "make install". These files can be useful when they contain source-level debugging information.
