powerpc/boot: Specify ABI v2 when building an LE boot wrapper

2015-09-16T12:05:55Z

The kernel does it, not the boot wrapper, which breaks with some cross compilers that still default to ABI v1. Fixes: 147c05168fc8 ("powerpc/boot: Add support for 64bit little endian wrapper") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.16+ Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Remove the celleb support

2015-04-07T07:15:13Z

The celleb code has seen no actual development for ~7 years. We (maintainers) have no access to test hardware, and it is highly likely the code has bit-rotted. As far as we're aware the hardware was never widely available, and is certainly no longer available, and no one on the list has shown any interest in it over the years. So remove it. If anyone has one and cares please speak up. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Jeremy Kerr

powerpc/boot: Makefile cleanup

2015-03-16T07:50:15Z

The $(image-n) variable will never exist, because unset Kconfig options are '' and not 'n'. Signed-off-by: Michal Marek Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc/boot: Don't install zImage.* from make install

2014-09-25T13:14:34Z

in commit 29f1aff2c (powerpc: Copy bootable images in the default install script) we changed to copying all the built boot targets based on the assumption that it's backwards compatible. It turns out that debian devived installkernel scripts will barf if not given exactly 4 args. This change reverts make install to just install the vmlinux (we can change the dfault in a seperate patch) and introduces a new make zInstall which works with a more flexible installkernel script.

powerpc: Avoid circular dependency with zImage.%

2014-06-12T08:07:35Z

The rule to create the final images uses a zImage.% pattern. Unfortunately, this also matches the names of the zImage.*.lds linker scripts, which appear as a dependency of the final images. This somehow worked when $(srctree) used to be an absolute path, but now the pattern matches too much. List only the images from $(image-y) as the target of the rule, to avoid the circular dependency. Reported-and-tested-by: Mike Qiu Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

powerpc/boot: Add support for 64bit little endian wrapper

2014-04-28T07:36:21Z

The code is only slightly modified : entry points now use the FIXUP_ENDIAN trampoline to switch endian order. The 32bit wrapper is kept for big endian kernels and 64bit is enforced for little endian kernels with a PPC64_BOOT_WRAPPER config option. The linker script is generated using the kernel preprocessor flags to make use of the CONFIG_* definitions and the wrapper script is modified to take into account the new elf64ppc format. Finally, the zImage file is compiled as a position independent executable (-pie) which makes it loadable at any address by the firmware.

powerpc/boot: Add a global entry point for pseries

2014-04-28T07:36:17Z

When entering the boot wrapper in little endian, we will need to fix the endian order using a fixup trampoline like in the kernel. This patch overrides the _zimage_start entry point for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Cédric Le Goater Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: Delete old PrPMC 280/2800 support

2014-03-07T04:54:48Z

This processor/memory module was mostly used on ATCA blades and before that, on cPCI blades. It wasn't really user friendly, with custom non u-boot bootloaders (powerboot/motload) and no real way to recover corrupted boot flash (which was a common problem). As such, it had its day back before the big ppc --> powerpc move to device trees, and that was largely through commercial BSPs that started to dry up around 2007. Systems using one were largely in a "deploy and sustain" mode, so interest in upgrading to new kernels in the field was nil. Also, requiring 50A, 48V power supplies and a 2'x2'x2' ATCA chassis largely rules out any hobbyist/enthusiast interest. The point of all this, is that we might as well delete the in kernel files relating to this platform. No point in continuing to build it via walking the defconfigs or via linux-next testing.
