Subject: [PATCH RFC v3] MIPS: add support for vmlinux.bin appended DTB
|
|
|
|
Add support for populating initial_boot_params through a dtb
|
|
blob appended to raw vmlinux.bin.

Changes RFC v1 -> v2
|
|
|
|
* changed all occurences of vmlinux to vmlinux.bin
|
|
* clarified this applies to the raw vmlinux.bin without decompressor
|
|
* s/initial_device_params/initial_boot_params/
|
|
|
|
Initial comments by me still valid:
|
|
|
|
Mostly adapted from how ARM is doing it.
|
|
|
|
Sent as an RFC PATCH because I am not sure if this is the right way to
|
|
it, and whether storing the pointer in initial_boot_params is a good
|
|
idea, or a new variable should be introduced.
|
|
|
|
The reasoning for initial_boot_params is that there is no common
|
|
MIPS interface yet, so the next best thing was using that. This also
|
|
has the advantage of keeping the original fw_args intact.
|
|
|
|
This patch works for me on bcm63xx, where the bootloader expects
|
|
an lzma compressed kernel, so I didn't want to double compress using
|
|
the in-kernel compressed kernel support.
|
|
|
|
Completely untested on anything except MIPS32 / big endian.

|
|
+ With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
|
|
+ DTB) appended to raw vmlinux.bin (without decompressor).
|
|
+ (e.g. cat vmlinux.bin <filename>.dtb > vmlinux_w_dtb).
|
|
+
|
|
+ This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
|
|
+ systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
|
|
+ the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
|
|
+
|
|
+ Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
|
|
+ this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
|
|
+ look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
|
|
+ to vmlinux.bin. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
|
|
+ if you don't intend to always append a DTB.
