powerpc/40x: Add proper BOOTCFLAGS for cuboot-acadia

2008-12-11T12:34:22Z

The cuboot-acadia.c wrapper can cause assembler errors on some toolchains due to the lack of the proper BOOTCFLAGS. This adds the proper flags for the file. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

powerpc: Add missing cuImage.initrd.% target

2008-10-21T04:17:48Z

This target is needed to build cuImages with an embedded ramdisk image. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc/40x: Add cuboot wrapper for Acadia board

2008-10-17T14:31:19Z

This adds a cuboot wrapper for the AMCC PowerPC 405EZ Acadia board. The clocking code is derived from U-Boot, originally written by Stefan Roese. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

powerpc: Holly board needs dtbImage target

2008-09-17T16:14:42Z

One of the changes in the bootwrapper makefile introduced the dtbImage targets for boards that need a simple zImage with a DTB embedded in them (595be948cce574ff2d5dde5d0426a636a4363c70, "[POWERPC] bootwrapper: Build multiple cuImages"). When this was done, it broke booting on the Holly board as the zImage.holly wrapper did not get the DTB embedded properly. This changes the target for the Holly board to a dtbImage so that the wrapper includes the vmlinux, wrapper bits, and DTB. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executable

2008-09-15T18:08:38Z

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc: Fix rare boot build breakage

2008-09-08T05:55:35Z

A make -j20 powerpc kernel build broke a couple of months ago saying: In file included from arch/powerpc/boot/gunzip_util.h:13, from arch/powerpc/boot/prpmc2800.c:21: arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:85: error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘*’ token arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:630: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘Byte’ arch/powerpc/boot/zlib.h:630: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘*’ token It happened again yesterday: too rare for me to confirm the fix, but it looks like the list of dependants on gunzip_util.h was incomplete.

powerpc/boot: Change spaces to tabs

2008-07-22T00:39:35Z

For C code spaces versus tabs is just a religious issue, but for Makefiles it actually matters. This patch fixes he following errors: /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:166: *** missing separator. Stop. /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:171: *** missing separator. Stop. Since this was inside an ifdef DTC_GENPARSER it was not a problem unless someone wanted to regenerate the shipped generated files.
