2006-01-15powerpc/32: Generate miboot images with ARCH=powerpcPaul Mackerras
Miboot images are apparently still used on some old 32-bit powermacs, so build them with ARCH=powerpc if we're 32-bit and powermac support is enabled. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-14powerpc: Avoid unaligned loads and stores in boot memcpy codePaul Mackerras
The 601 processor will generate an alignment exception for accesses which cross a page boundary. In the boot wrapper code, OF is still handling all exceptions, and it doesn't have an alignment exception handler that emulates the instruction and continues. This changes the memcpy and memmove routines in the boot wrapper to avoid doing unaligned accesses. If the source and destination are misaligned with respect to each other, we just copy one byte at a time. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-14powerpc: Make COFF zImages for old 32-bit powermacsPaul Mackerras
This adds code to build zImage.coff and/or zImage.initrd.coff when CONFIG_PPC32 and CONFIG_PPC_PMAC are defined. It also restructures the OF client code and adds some workarounds for OF quirks on the older machines. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-11[PATCH] powerpc: Fix clean_files in arch/powerpc/boot MakefileKumar Gala
clean-files was being set twice rather than being appended to. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-11[PATCH] powerpc: Add some missing .gitignore'sKumar Gala
ignore generated files under arch/powerpc Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Fix suboptimal uImage targetKumar Gala
Sam Ravnborg pointed out that calling if_changed was redundant in the rule since a prerequisite had to have changed for us to get there. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: Add support for building uImagesKumar Gala
powerpc: Add support for building uImages Add support to build a kernel image bootable by u-boot. Most of the makefile foo is taken from arch/ppc/boot/images/Makefile Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-18[PATCH] ppc boot: replace string labels with numbersOlaf Hering
Replacing the string labels with numbers saves 117 bytes in the final zImage. These local labels are not discared.

2005-11-16powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpcPaul Mackerras
This also extends the code to handle 32-bit ELF vmlinux files as well as 64-bit ones. This is sufficient for booting on new-world 32-bit powermacs (i.e. all recent machines). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
