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).

When the wrapper script is passed a dts file, it runs 'dtc' to create a dtb file. This patch deletes that dtb file once its no longer needed. Signed-off-by: NMark A. Greer <mgreer@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The "wrapper" script was using the wrong names for the initrd and dtb (device-tree blob) sections. This fixes it, and also ensures the symbols for the start and end of the dtb get defined correctly. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

More reorganization of the bootwrapper: - Add dtb section to zImage - ft_init now called by platform_init - Pack a flat dt before calling kernel - Remove size parameter from free - printf only calls console_ops.write it its not NULL - Some cleanup Signed-off-by: NMark A.

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. Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
