Add support for detecting a vmlinux.bin appended dtb and overriding the boot arguments to match the UHI interface.
Due to the PERCPU section being empty for !SMP, but still modifying the current address by aligning it to the page size, do not define it for !SMP builds to allow __appended_dtb to still point to the actual end of the data. Signed-off-by: Jonas Gorski <[email protected]> --- Changes RFC v2 -> v3 * Switched to UHI interface instead of manipulating initial_boot_params * fixed boot on !SMP * Changed PTR_LW to lw and PTR_LI to li to ensure 32bit loads/ comparisons are done on 64 bit 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/ arch/mips/Kconfig | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/mips/kernel/head.S | 16 ++++++++++++++++ arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 8 +++++++- 3 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/mips/Kconfig b/arch/mips/Kconfig index 779dcae..0986619 100644 --- a/arch/mips/Kconfig +++ b/arch/mips/Kconfig @@ -2672,6 +2672,33 @@ config USE_OF config BUILTIN_DTB bool +choice + prompt "Kernel appended dtb support" if OF + default MIPS_NO_APPENDED_DTB + + config MIPS_NO_APPENDED_DTB + bool "None" + help + Do not enable appended dtb support. + + config MIPS_RAW_APPENDED_DTB + bool "vmlinux.bin" + help + 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.
