      [POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve zImage entry point · cd197ffc
      由 David Gibson 提交于 
      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).

      [POWERPC] zImage: Add more flexible gunzip convenience functions · ad9d2716
      由 David Gibson 提交于 
      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.

      [POWERPC] Create a "wrapper" script and use it in arch/powerpc/boot · 2bf11819
      由 Paul Mackerras 提交于 
      This puts the knowledge of how to create various sorts of zImage
wrappers into a script called "wrapper" that could be used outside of
the kernel tree.  This changes arch/powerpc/boot so it first builds
the files that the wrapper script needs, then runs it to create
whatever flavours of zImage are required.

This version does uImages as well.  The zImage names are changed
slightly; zImage.pseries is the one with the PT_NOTE program header
entry added, and zImage.pmac is the one without.  If the
zImage.pseries gets made, it will also get hardlinked to zImage;
otherwise, if zImage.pmac is made, it gets hardlinked to zImage.

      [PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent version · 4f3865fb
      由 Richard Purdie 提交于 
      Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.

The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).

For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement.  I don't
consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
change the zlib_deflate code.

Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
work.

This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32.  JFFS2 sees an approx.  10% real
world file read speed improvement.

This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
take care of that for us.  This removal is also more in keeping with the
zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.
