[PATCH] use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh

2005-06-23T16:45:07+00:00

The attached patch causes the various arch specific install.sh scripts to
look for ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel rather than just installkernel (in
both /sbin/ and ~/bin/ where the script already did this).  This allows you
to have e.g.  arm-linux-installkernel as a handy way to install on your
cross target.  It also prevents the script picking up on the host
/sbin/installkernel which causes the script to fall through and do the
install itself (which is what I actually use myself, with $INSTALL_PATH
set).

I don't believe it causes back-compatibility problems since calling the
host installkernel was never likely to work or be what you wanted when
cross compiling anyway.  If $CROSS_COMPILE isn't set then nothing changes.

I only use ARM and i386 myself but I figured it couldn't hurt to do the
whole lot.  I've cc'd those who I hope are the arch maintainers for files
that I've touched.

[PATCH] ppc64: print negative numbers correctly in boot wrapper

2005-06-08T17:18:59+00:00

if num has a value of -1, accessing the digits[] array will fail and the
format string will be printed in funny way, or not at all. This happens if
one prints negative numbers.
Just change the code to match lib/vsprintf.c
asm/div64.h cant be used because u64 maps to u32 for this build.

[PATCH] ppc64: remove asm/bootinfo.h include

2005-05-06T05:00:52+00:00

The defines in bootinfo.h are not used, so the include can be removed.
According to Ben, birecs are not used on ppc64:

  on ppc64, we made the decision of enforcing the presence of an
  OF device-tree and either an OF-like client interface or a kexec
  like flattened tree.
  so if your bootloader want to say things to the kernel,
  it can do so by adding properties to the device-tree

compile-tested with defconfig

[PATCH] ppc64: tell firmware about kernel capabilities

2005-05-01T15:58:45+00:00

On pSeries systems, according to the platform architecture specs, we are
supposed to be supplying a structure to firmware that tells firmware about
our capabilities, such as which version of the data structures that
describe available memory we are expecting to see.  The way we end up
having to supply this data structure is a bit gross, since it was designed
for AIX and doesn't suit us very well.  This patch adds the code to supply
this data structure to the firmware.
