This cleans up how the zImage code manipulates the kernel command line. Notable improvements from the old handling: - Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new prep_cmdline() function, rather than being scattered across start() and some helper functions - Less stack space use: we use just a single global command line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before, we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack. - Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a commandline, but not a device tree. Platform code can now point new loader_info fields to the firmware's command line, rather than having to do early manipulation of the /chosen bootargs property which may then be rewritten again by the core.

This patch adds a library of useful device tree manipulation functions to the zImage library, for use by platform code. These functions are based on the hooks already in dt_ops, so they're not dependent on a particular device tree implementation. This patch also slightly streamlines the code in main.c using these new functions. This is a consolidation of my work in this area with Scott Wood's patches to a very similar end.

This patch adds a reg.h to the zImage code, with common definitions for accessing system registers. For now, this includes functions for retrieving the PVR and the stack pointer. This patch then uses the new reg.h to let start() display the running stack address without having to explicitly pass the stack as a parameter from the asm code.

This patch re-organises the way the zImage wrapper code is entered, to allow more flexibility on platforms with unusual entry conditions. After this patch, a platform .o file has two options: 1) It can define a _zimage_start, in which case the platform code gets control from the very beginning of execution. In this case the platform code is responsible for relocating the zImage if necessary, clearing the BSS, performing any platform specific initialization, and finally calling start() to load and enter the kernel. 2) It can define platform_init(). In this case the generic crt0.S handles initial entry, and calls platform_init() before calling start(). The signature of platform_init() is changed, however, to take up to 5 parameters (in r3..r7) as they come from the platform's initial loader, instead of a fixed set of parameters based on OF's usage. When using the generic crt0.S, the platform .o can optionally supply a custom stack to use, using the BSS_STACK() macro. If this is not supplied, the crt0.S will assume that the loader has supplied a usable stack. In either case, the platform code communicates information to the generic code (specifically, a PROM pointer for OF systems, and/or an initrd image address supplied by the bootloader) via a global structure "loader_info". In addition the wrapper script is rearranged to ensure that the platform .o is always linked first. This means that platforms where the zImage entry point is at a fixed address or offset, rather than being encoded in the binary header can be supported using option (1).

This patch rewrites prep_kernel() in the zImage wrapper code to be clearer and more flexible. Notable changes: - Handling of the initrd image from prep_kernel() has moved into a new prep_initrd() function. - The address of the initrd image is now added as device tree properties, as the kernel expects. - We only copy a packaged initrd image to a new location if it is in danger of being clobbered when the kernel moves to its final location, instead of always. - By default we decompress the kernel directly to address 0, instead of requiring it to relocate itself. Platforms (such as OF) where doing this could clobber still-live firmware data structures can override the vmlinux_alloc hook to provide an alternate place to decompress the kernel. - We no longer pass lots of information between functions in global variables.

At present, arch/powerpc/boot/main.c includes a gunzip() function which is a convenient wrapper around zlib. However, it doesn't conveniently allow decompressing part of an image to one location, then the remainder to a different address. This patch adds a new set of more flexible convenience wrappers around zlib, moving them to their own file, gunzip_util.c, in the process. These wrappers allow decompressing sections of the compressed image to different locations. In addition, they transparently handle uncompressed data, avoiding special case code to handle uncompressed vmlinux images. The patch also converts main.c to use the new wrappers, using the new flexibility to avoid decompressing the vmlinux's ELF header twice as we did previously. That in turn means we avoid extending our allocations for the vmlinux to allow space for the extra copy of the ELF header.

This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling logic in the zImage wrapper. First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack() which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr() which retreived the address of the final blob. Since they were only ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new callback, dt_ops.finalize(). This new callback does whatever platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device tree blob, and returns the blob's addres. Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree itself. This approach precludes the possibility of the platform wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever platform-specific information firmware provides. Thus, this patch takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means). So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function which returns NULL. In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.

This patch makes the handling of the initrd (or initramfs) in the zImage wrapper a little easier to follow. Instead of passing the initrd addresses out from prep_kernel() via the cryptic a1 and a2 parameters, use the global struct add_range, 'initrd'. prep_kernel() already passes information through the 'vmlinux' addr_range struct, so this seems like a reasonable extension. Some comments also clarify the logic with prep_kernel(): we use an initrd included in the zImage if present, otherwise we use an initrd passed in by the bootloader in the a1 and a2 parameters (yaboot, at least, uses this mechanism to pass an initrd).

This abstracts the operations used in the bootwrapper, and defines the operations needed for the bootwrapper to run on an OF platform. The operations have been divided up into platform ops (platform_ops), firmware ops (fw_ops), device tree ops (dt_ops), and console ops (console_ops). The proper operations will be hooked up at runtime to provide the functionality that you need. Signed-off-by: NMark A. Greer <mgreer@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The zImage wrapper has a bug where it doesn't claim() the memory for the kernel properly, it forgets to take into account the offset between the ELF header and the kernel itself.

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.

In PPC64 there are number of problems in arch/ppc64/boot/main.c that prevent a kernel from making use of a large (greater than ~16MB) INITRD. This is 64 bit architecture and really large INITRD images should be possible. Simply put the existing code has a fixed reservation (claim) address and once the kernel plus initrd image are large enough to pass this address all sorts of bad things occur. The fix is the dynamically establish the first claim address above the loaded kernel plus initrd (plus some "padding" and rounding). If PROG_START is defined this will be used as the minimum safe address - currently known to be 0x01400000 for the firmwares tested so far.

The defines in bootinfo.h are not used, so the include can be removed. According to Ben, birecs are not used on ppc64: on ppc64, we made the decision of enforcing the presence of an OF device-tree and either an OF-like client interface or a kexec like flattened tree. so if your bootloader want to say things to the kernel, it can do so by adding properties to the device-tree compile-tested with defconfig Signed-off-by: NOlaf Hering <olh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
