powerpc/boot: Add an ePAPR compliant boot wrapper 2011-04-20T06:59:21+00:00 David Gibson dwg@au1.ibm.com 2011-04-14T18:29:16+00:00 6c5b59b913874cae535a324a671b7ed4f17e6397 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.

powerpc/boot: Allow building the zImage wrapper as a relocatable ET_DYN 2011-04-20T06:59:20+00:00 Michael Ellerman michael@ozlabs.org 2011-04-12T20:38:55+00:00 6975a783d7b40c79be4b7a7ea450e023ff7e5e02 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.

Additionally, this brings PowerPC in line with other architectures which already call mkimage via mkuboot.sh.
