2012-03-21powerpc/ps3: Do not adjust the wrapper load addressStephen Rothwell
Commit c55aef0e5bc6 "powerpc/boot: Change the load address for the wrapper to fit the kernel" adjusted the laod address if the uncompressed kernel was too large. Ps3 does not compress the kernel and uses a different linker script, so do not adjust the load address in that case. fixes this build error: powerpc64-linux-ld: section .text loaded at [0000000000e00000,0000000000e0721b] overlaps section .kernel:dtb loaded at [0000000000e00000,0000000000e0066f] Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-12-21powerpc/boot: Change the WARN to INFO for boot wrapper overlap messageSuzuki Poulose
commit c55aef0e5bc6 ("powerpc/boot: Change the load address for the wrapper to fit the kernel") introduced a WARNING to inform the user that the uncompressed kernel would overlap the boot uncompressing wrapper code. Change it to an INFO. I initially thought, this would be a 'WARNING' for the those boards, where the link_address should be fixed, so that the user can take actions accordingly.

2011-12-20powerpc/boot: Change the load address for the wrapper to fit the kernelSuzuki Poulose
The wrapper code which uncompresses the kernel in case of a 'ppc' boot is by default loaded at 0x00400000 and the kernel will be uncompressed to fit the location 0-0x00400000. But with dynamic relocations, the size of the kernel may exceed 0x00400000(4M). This would cause an overlap of the uncompressed kernel and the boot wrapper, causing a failure in boot. The message looks like : zImage starting: loaded at 0x00400000 (sp: 0x0065ffb0) Allocating 0x5ce650 bytes for kernel ... Insufficient memory for kernel at address 0! (_start=00400000, uncompressed size=00591a20) This patch shifts the load address of the boot wrapper code to the next higher MB, according to the size of the uncompressed vmlinux. With the patch, we get the following message while building the image : WARN: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x5b0344) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000) WARN: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0x600000) Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.

2011-12-08powerpc: Add support for OpenBlockS 600Benjamin Herrenschmidt
So I've had one of these for a while and it looks like the vendor never bothered submitting the support upstream. This adds it using ppc40x_simple and provides a device-tree. There are some changes to the boot wrapper because the way u-boot works on this thing, it seems to expect a multipart image with the kernel, initrd and dtb in it. The USB support is missing as it needs the yet unmerged driver for the DWC OTG part and the GPIOs may need further definition in the dts.

2011-04-20powerpc/boot: Add an ePAPR compliant boot wrapperDavid Gibson
This is a first cut at making bootwrapper code which will produce a zImage compliant with the requirements set down by ePAPR. This is a very simple bootwrapper, taking the device tree blob supplied by the ePAPR boot program and passing it on to the kernel. It builds on the earlier patch to build a relocatable ET_DYN zImage to meet the other ePAPR image requirements. For good measure we have some paranoid checks which will generate warnings if some of the ePAPR entry condition guarantees are not met.

2011-04-20powerpc/boot: Allow building the zImage wrapper as a relocatable ET_DYNMichael Ellerman
This patch adds code, linker script and makefile support to allow building the zImage wrapper around the kernel as a position independent executable. This results in an ET_DYN instead of an ET_EXEC ELF output file, which can be loaded at any location by the firmware and will process its own relocations to work correctly at the loaded address. This is of interest particularly since the standard ePAPR image format must be an ET_DYN (although this patch alone is not sufficient to produce a fully ePAPR compliant boot image). Note for now we don't enable building with -pie for anything.

2008-10-21powerpc: Revert CHRP boot wrapper to real-base = 12MB on 32-bitPaul Mackerras
Commit 9b09c6d909dfd8de96b99b9b9c808b94b0a71614 ("powerpc: Change the default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the real-base value in the CHRP note added by addnote to the zImage from 12MB to 32MB. It turns out that this causes unnecessary extra reboots on old 32-bit CHRP machines. This therefore adds a -r flag to addnote to allow us to specify what real-base value it should put in the CHRP note, and adjusts the wrapper script to pass -r c00000 to addnote when making a zImage for a CHRP machine. Also, CHRP machines ignore the RPA note, so we don't need to arrange for it to be the same as the kernel's.

2008-10-10powerpc: Sync RPA note in zImage with kernel's RPA notePaul Mackerras
Commit 9b09c6d909dfd8de96b99b9b9c808b94b0a71614 ("powerpc: Change the default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from 12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage. (The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in memory.) However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me" flag set to 1. This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note (at least on most pSeries machines). To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA note. (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not what we want.) However, then we have to make sure the values in the zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities(). So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec. However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't ensure that the notes will stay consistent. To ensure that, this adds code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from the kernel binary and put that in the zImage. To that end, we put the kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from it and transfers it to the zImage.

2008-02-07[POWERPC] bootwrapper: Build multiple cuImagesGrant Likely
Currently, the kernel uses CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE to wrap a kernel image with a fdt blob which means for any given configuration only one dts file can be selected and so support for only one board can be built This moves the selection of the default .dts file out of the kernel config and into the bootwrapper makefile. The makefile chooses which images to build based on the kernel config and the dts source file name is taken directly from the image name. For example "cuImage.ebony" will use "ebony.dts" as the device tree source file. In addition, this patch allows a specific image to be requested from the command line by adding "cuImage.%" and "treeImage.%" targets to the list of valid built targets in arch/powerpc/Makefile. This allows the default dts selection to be overridden. Another advantage to this change is it allows a single defconfig to be supplied for all boards using the same chip family and only differing in the device tree. Important note: This patch adds two new zImage targets; zImage.dtb.% and zImage.dtb.initrd.% for zImages with embedded dtb files. Currently there are 5 platforms which require this: ps3, ep405, mpc885ads, ep88xc, adder875-redboot and ep8248e. This patch *changes the zImage filenames* for those platforms. ie. 'zImage.ps3' is now 'zImage.dtb.ps3'. This new zImage.dtb targets were added so that the .dts file could be part of the dependancies list for building them.

2007-07-10[POWERPC] PS3: Bootwrapper support.Geoff Levand
Add support to build the PS3 flash rom image and remove some unneeded lmb calls. The PS3's lv1 loader supports loading gzipped binary images from flash rom to addr zero. The loader enters the image at addr 0x100. In this implementation a bootwrapper overlay is use to arrange for the kernel to be loaded to addr zero and to have a suitable bootwrapper entry at 0x100. To construct the rom image, 0x100 bytes from offset 0x100 in the kernel is copied to the bootwrapper symbol __system_reset_kernel. The 0x100 bytes at the bootwrapper symbol __system_reset_overlay is then copied to offset 0x100. At runtime the bootwrapper program copies the 0x100 bytes at __system_reset_kernel to addr 0x100. zImage.ps3 is a wrapped image that contains a flat device tree, an lv1 compatible entry point, and an optional initrd. otheros.bld is the gzip compresed rom image built from zImage.ps3. otheros.bld is suitable for programming into the PS3 boot flash memory.

Commit 9da82a6dee9db4cd5ae7a74ab4f51afb52b6efb9 inadvertently removed the platform override for zImage.coff to be generated with pmaccoff. Rather than add a special makefile rule, change the platform for which the wrapper platform uses the special rules.

2007-05-08[POWERPC] Support for the Ebony 440GP reference board in arch/powerpcDavid Gibson
This adds platform support code for the Ebony (440GP) evaluation board. This includes both code in arch/powerpc/platforms/44x for board initialization, and zImage wrapper code to correctly tweak the flattened device tree based on information from the firmware. The zImage supports both IBM OpenBIOS (aka "treeboot") and old versions of uboot which don't support a flattened device tree.

2007-05-02[POWERPC] Small cleanups to the cuboot bootwrapper codeDavid Gibson
This patch makes a few small cleanups to the cuboot code. - It removes the double layered selection of images, via cuboot-plat-y, instead having the cuboot platforms directly select a suitable image-y (this changes the name of the final cuboot image from plain cuImage to cuImage.<platform>). - Factors out some code in the wrapper that's potentially useful to platforms other than uboot.
