2013-10-29MIPS: ZBOOT: Support LZ4 compression schemeFlorian Fainelli
Add support for the LZ4 compression scheme in the ZBOOT decompression stub, in order to support it we need to: - select the "lz4" compression tool to compress the vmlinux.bin payload - memcpy() is also required for decompress_unlz4.c so we share the implementation between GZIP, XZ and now LZ4 Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: blogic@openwrt.org Cc: james.hogan@imgtec.com Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/5829/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2013-10-29MIPS: ZBOOT: Define program header for text loadable segmentFlorian Fainelli
There is currently no corresponding ELF program header for the "text" loadable segment which is confusing for some bootloader out there such as CFE because it expects to find a program header matching the segment it is trying to load. The Linux kernel ELF binary "vmlinux" has a similar program header for the text segment so we just mimic this here too.

2013-09-03MIPS: Add uImage build targetJames Hogan
Add a uImage build target for MIPS, which builds uImage.gz (a U-Boot image of vmlinux.bin.gz), and then symlinks it to uImage. This allows for the use of other compression algorithms in future, and is how a few other architectures do it. It's enabled conditionally on load-y >= 0xffffffff80000000 which hopefully allows 64bit kernels to also work as long as the load and entry address can be represented by the 32bit addresses in the U-Boot image format.

2013-09-03MIPS: Refactor load/entry address calculationsJames Hogan
The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple places: - arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or defined by the platform) and passes it to arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile. - arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm. - arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address using nm. Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/, boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets. The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the load address using nm.

2013-09-03MIPS: add <dt-bindings/> symlinkJames Hogan
Add symlink to include/dt-bindings from arch/mips/boot/dts/include/ to match the ones in ARM and Meta architectures so that preprocessed device tree files can include various useful constant definitions. See commit c58299a (kbuild: create an "include chroot" for DT bindings) merged in v3.10-rc1 for details. MIPS structures it's dts files a little differently to other architectures, having a separate dts directory for each SoC/platform, but most of the definitions in the dt-bindings/ directory are common so for now lets just have a single "include chroot" for all MIPS platforms.

2013-07-01MIPS: Boot: Compressed: Remove -fstack-protector from CFLAGSMarkos Chandras
When building with -fstack-protector, gcc emits the __stack_chk_guard and __stack_chk_fail symbols to check for stack stability. These symbols are defined in vmlinux but the generated vmlinux.bin that is used to create the compressed vmlinuz image has no symbol table so the linker can't find these symbols during the final linking phase. As a result of which, we need either to redefine these symbols just for the compressed image or drop the -fstack-protector option when building the compressed image. This patch implements the latter of two options. Fixes the following linking problem: dbg.c:(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard' dbg.c:(.text+0x80): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard' dbg.c:(.text+0xd4): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard' dbg.c:(.text+0xec): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail' [ralf@linux-mips.org: I'm applying this before the patch that actually adds stack protector support for MIPS. This means, it will not be possible to trigger above error message with any commit from the tree but rather they are what one would hit without this commit.] Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/5575/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2010-01-28MIPS: Fix vmlinuz build for 32bit-only math shellsAlexander Clouter
POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit. I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is 0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be: ---- alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' ffffffff94500000 alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' 80000000003fffff ---- The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally. Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and dash: ---- $ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 $ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 ---- So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this: 1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix 2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a 32bit-only math shell is available. Patch Changelog: Version 2 - simplified method by using 'expr' for 'substr' and making it work with dash once again Version 1 - Revert the removals of '-n "$(VMLINUX_SIZE)"' to avoid the error of "make clean" - Consider more cases of the VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS Version 0 - initial release Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk> Acked-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/861/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.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!
