powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpc

2005-11-16T02:52:21+00:00

This also extends the code to handle 32-bit ELF vmlinux files as well as 64-bit ones. This is sufficient for booting on new-world 32-bit powermacs (i.e. all recent machines). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] ppc64 boot: proof that reloc works

2005-10-29T05:11:00+00:00

To prove that the relocation works, move the crt0.o away from the beginning. Move linker options from command line into linker script. rename entry point because '_start' is referenced in printf output.

[PATCH] ppc64 boot: make the zImage relocateable

2005-10-29T05:10:12+00:00

Make the zImage relocateable. So yaboot could just load and run any ELF binary, without worrying about its load address. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] ppc64 boot: bootfiles depend on linker script

bootfiles must be relinked if linker script changes Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] ppc64 boot: remove need for imagesize.c

2005-10-29T05:05:10+00:00

Compute the vmlinux size at runtime. Use Z_FULL_FLUSH instead of Z_FINISH, to extract only the ELF header and ELF program header. ->p_memsz is the required memory range for the executable, including bss ->p_filesz is the size of .text, .data and other runtime sections These values must be used for the claim call. All additional memory needed by the kernel is claimed in prom_init, remove the extra Mb. Pass the full memsize as target area to gunzip, otherwise not everything will be uncompressed. flush_cache has to flush all runtime sections, do not reduce the memrange by the ->p_offset value because its just that: an offset. Remove the Makefile code to produce an imagesize.c, its not needed anymore. Remove all FORCE flags, to not rebuild the zImage if vmlinux was not changed.

[PATCH] ppc64 boot: remove zlib

2005-10-29T05:04:43+00:00

Switch ppc64 to the in-kernel zlib, it has less bugs than the current one. The code in arch/ppc64/boot is compiled as 32bit, so it can not use the includes from include/asm. Copy all zlib related header files and convert them with sed. Reduce the scratch size to 47k, check possible changes at runtime.

[PATCH] ppc64: make arch/ppc64/boot standalone

2005-08-29T00:53:31+00:00

Make the bootheader for ppc64 independent from kernel and libc headers. * add -nostdinc -isystem $gccincludes to not include libc headers * declare all functions in header files, also the stuff from string.S * declare some functions static * use stddef.h to get size_t (hopefully ok) * remove ppc32-types.h, only elf.h used the __NN types With further modifications by Paul Mackerras and Stephen Rothwell.
