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.

2007-06-25[POWERPC] When appropriate, wrap device tree with zImageMark A. Greer
There are 2 config options that indicate whether the platform being built has a device tree source file associated with it. Namely, CONFIG_WANT_DEVICE_TREE and CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE. When CONFIG_WANT_DEVICE_TREE is 'y' and CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE isn't an empty string, automatically wrap the specified device tree with the zImage being built. To achieve this, the 'dts' variable will only be set when the conditions above are true. The changes to the zImage.initrd.% and zImage.% rules cause the device tree to be wrapped when 'dts' is set; otherwise, they will work as they previosly did (i.e., build a zImage with no device tree).

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Consolidate cuboot initialization codeDavid Gibson
The various cuboot platforms (i.e. pre-device tree aware u-boot for 83xx, 85xx and Ebony) share a certain amount of code for parsing the boot parameters. To a certain extent that's inevitable, since they platforms have different definitions of the bd_t structure. However, with some macro work and a helper function, this patch improves the situation a bit. In the process, this fixes a bug on Ebony, which was incorrectly handling the parameters passed form u-boot for the command line (the bug was copied from 83xx and 85xx which have subsequently been fixed).

2007-06-14[POWERPC] Split low-level OF-related bootloader code into separate filesDavid Gibson
Currently, all OF-related code in the bootloader is contained in of.c. of.c also provides the platform specific things necessary to boot on an OF platform. However, there are platforms (such as PReP) which can include an OF implementation, but are not bootable as pure OF systems. For use by such platforms, this patch splits out the low-level parts of the OF code (call_prom() and various wrappers thereof) into a new oflib.c file. In addition, the code related to bootwrapper console output via OF are moved to a new ofconsole.c file. Both these files are included in the wrapper.a library where they can be used by both full-OF and partial OF platforms.

2007-06-02[POWERPC] Don't use HOSTCFLAGS in BOOTCFLAGSDavid Gibson
In the bootwrapper code for powerpc, we include HOSTCFLAGS into the BOOTCFLAGS used for building the zImage wrapper code. Since the wrapper code is not host code, this makes no sense. This patch removes the use of HOSTCFLAGS here, instead including directly into BOOTCFLAGS those flags from the normal kernel CFLAGS which also make sense in the bootwrapper code. In particular, this makes the bootwrapper use -msoft-float, preventing the compiler from generating floating point instructions. Previously, under some circumstances the compiler could generate floating point instructions in the bootwrapper which would cause exceptions on embedded CPUS which don't have floating point support.

2007-06-02[POWERPC] Fix compiler/assembler flags for Ebony platform boot filesDavid Gibson
The recent addition of assembler flags for 44x.c and ebony.c in the bootwrapper to make them compile on certain toolchains was not correct and could break other platforms. This patch switches to using a compiler flag instead, which implies the appropriate assembler flag, and also stops the compiler itself generating instructions which are invalid for the platform in question.

As a result of compiling all of the wrapper files for every platform now, the kernel build can fail for toolchains that don't support various op codes by default. An example of this building a 7xx platform with the ELD4.0 toolchain, is below: /tmp/ccYjhJoL.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccYjhJoL.s:42: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mtdcr' /tmp/ccYjhJoL.s:43: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mfdcr' make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/44x.o] Error 1 The following patch introduces additional CFLAGS for the 4xx specific files and fixes the kernel compile.

2007-05-12[POWERPC] Add bootwrapper support for Motorola PrPMC2800 platformMark A. Greer
The Motorola PrPMC280 and PrPMC2800 processor modules sit on an F101 or PrPMC2800 baseboard, respectively. There are several variants of each type of processor module which can have different amounts of memory, amounts of FLASH, cpu frequencies, and an mv64360 or an mv64362. The bootwrapper code for that platform reads VPD from an I2C EEPROM to determine the processor module variant. From the variant, the amount of memory, etc. is determined and the device tree is updated accordingly. If the variant cannot be determined (e.g., corrupted VPD or a previously unknown variant), the property values already in the device tree are used. Also, the firmware for those platforms does not completely configure the mv64x60 host bridge so that configuration is done here. Signed-off-by: Mark A.

2007-05-12[POWERPC] Add bootwrapper support for Marvell/mv64x60 I2CMark A. Greer
Some platforms support a variety processor modules with no method of determining which exact processor module is being used except by examining Vital Product Data (VPD). The modules may have different amounts of memory, clock frequencies, etc. so reading the VPD becomes necessary to correctly set properties in the device tree before its passed to the kernel. Often the VPD is stored in I2C EEPROMs so an I2C driver becomes necessary. This I2C driver is for the I2C controller that's embedded on the Marvel mv64x60 line of host bridges. Signed-off-by: Mark A.

2007-05-12[POWERPC] Add bootwrapper support for Marvell/mv64x60 hostbridgeMark A. Greer
The mv64x60 host bridge has many windows between its various components (cpu, system memory, ethernet ctlr, MPSC, DMA ctlr, PCI MEM, PCI I/O). Unfortunately, the firmware on some of mv64x60-based platforms do not properly or completely configure those windows (e.g., MPSC->system memory windows not configured or CPU->PCI MEM space not configured). So, the missing configuration needs to be done in either the bootwrapper or in the kernel. To keep the kernel as clean as possible, it is done in the bootwrapper. Note that I/O controller configuration is NOT being done, its only the windows to allow the I/O controllers and other components to access memory, etc. that is being done--drivers assume that their controllers can already access system memory). Table of routines and the windows they configure: mv64x60_config_ctlr_windows() ENET->System Memory MPSC->System Memory IDMA->System Memory mv64x60_config_pci_windows() PCI MEM->System Memory PCI I/O->Bridge's Registers mv64x60_config_cpu2pci_window() CPU->PCI MEM CPU->PCI I/O Signed-off-by: Mark A.

2007-05-12[POWERPC] Add Makefile rules to wrap dts file in zImageMark A. Greer
Add 'zImage.dts' and 'zImage.dts_initrd' build rules that automatically compile and wrap a dts file from arch/powerpc/boot/dts into the zImage file. The resulting zImage will be arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts.<platform> and arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.dts_initrd.<platform>, respectively. Having separate rules allows the user to choose whether to include a device tree--and which device tree--at build time. This is useful when one Makefile target builds a zImage that runs on several platforms except for differing device trees. By just setting CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE and running "make zImage.dts" the exact zImage you want is built without Makefile bloat or manually running the wrapper script. The dts file is expected to be arch/powerpc/boot/dts/$(CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE) Signed-off-by: Mark A. Greer <mgreer@mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-05-07[POWERPC] Fix some missing build dependencies in arch/powerpc/bootDavid Gibson
This patch fixes a couple of missing dependencies in arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile. First, it ensures that the zlib.h header is linked in before attempting to build gunzip_util.o, as it is, building gunzip_util.o usually works, but not always depending on make order. Second, it makes the final images which are built using a dts dependent on that dts, so the image will be correctly rebuilt if the dts changes. This in turn requires fixing the definition of the dts variable. CONFIG_DEVICE_TREE from Kconfig will have quotes around it, which don't matter when passing the variable to a shell, but which need to be removed when incorporating it into a filename for make's use.

2007-03-13[POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve zImage entry pointDavid Gibson
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).

2007-03-13[POWERPC] zImage: Add more flexible gunzip convenience functionsDavid Gibson
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.
