2010-01-12MIPS: Ignore vmlinux.*Yoichi Yuasa

2010-01-12MIPS: Move vmlinux.ecoff to arch/mips/bootYoichi Yuasa
It moves to the same directory as the boot files in other formats. Signed-off-by: Yoichi Yuasa <yuasa@linux-mips.org> Cc: linux-mips <linux-mips@linux-mips.org> Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/796/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2010-01-12MIPS: Cleanup and Fixup of compressed kernel supportWu Zhangjin
o Remove the .initrd section. The initrd section was already handled when vmlinux was linked. o Discard .MIPS.options, .options, .pdr, .reginfo, .comment and .note sections. If .MIPS.options is not removed, kernels compiled with gcc 3.4.6 will not boot. o Clean up the file format. o Remove several other unneeded sections. Tested with GCC 3.4.6 and 4.4.1 with and without initrd.

2009-12-17MIPS: Add support for GZIP / BZIP2 / LZMA compressed kernel imagesWu Zhangjin
This patch helps to generate smaller kernel images for linux-MIPS, Here is the effect when using lzma: $ ls -sh vmlinux 7.1M vmlinux $ ls -sh vmlinuz 1.5M vmlinuz Have tested the 32bit kernel on Qemu/Malta and 64bit kernel on FuLoong Mini PC. both of them work well. and also, tested by Alexander Clouter on an AR7 based Linksys WAG54Gv2, and by Manuel Lauss on an Alchemy board. This -v2 version incorporate the feedback from Ralf, and add the following changes: 1. add .ecoff, .bin, .erec format support 2. only enable it and the debug source code for the machines we tested 3. a dozen of fixups and cleanups and if you want to enable it for your board, please try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT for it, and if the board have an 16550 compatible uart, you can select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 directly. and then sending the relative patches to Ralf.

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!
