MIPS: zboot: put appended dtb into a section This will make a separated section for dtb appear in ELF, and we can then use objcopy to patch a dtb into vmlinuz when RAW_APPENDED_DTB is set in kernel config. command to patch a dtb: objcopy --set-section-flags=.appended_dtb=alloc,contents \ --update-section=.appended_dtb=<target>.dtb vmlinuz Signed-off-by: Chuanhong Guo <gch981213@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@alpha.franken.de>

MIPS: Add support for vmlinuz.bin appended dtb Add support for detecting a vmlinuz.bin appended dtb and overriding the boot arguments to match the UHI interface. To ensure _edata / __apendend_dtb points to the actual end of the binary, align the data section to 16 bytes instead of the address cursor. Due to ld.script not going through the preprocessor, we can't check for MIPS_ZBOOT_APPENDED_DTB being enabled, so always reserve space for it. It should have no consequences for booting without it enabled except 1 MiB more ram usage during the uncompressing stage.

MIPS: ZBOOT: Define program header for text loadable segment There is currently no corresponding ELF program header for the "text" loadable segment which is confusing for some bootloader out there such as CFE because it expects to find a program header matching the segment it is trying to load. The Linux kernel ELF binary "vmlinux" has a similar program header for the text segment so we just mimic this here too.

MIPS: Clean up arch/mips/boot/compressed/ld.script - Remove unused symbols: _fdata, _text; only _edata and _end are needed by head.S - Remove unused sections: .sbss, .stab, .gptab.sdata, .gptab.sbss - Change the alignment to 16 bytes to ensure it is greater than any fundamental type of a MIPS compiler. - Clean up comments Signed-off-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1381/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

MIPS: Cleanup and Fixup of compressed kernel support o Remove the .initrd section. The initrd section was already handled when vmlinux was linked. o Discard .MIPS.options, .options, .pdr, .reginfo, .comment and .note sections. If .MIPS.options is not removed, kernels compiled with gcc 3.4.6 will not boot. o Clean up the file format. o Remove several other unneeded sections. Tested with GCC 3.4.6 and 4.4.1 with and without initrd.

MIPS: Add support for GZIP / BZIP2 / LZMA compressed kernel images This patch helps to generate smaller kernel images for linux-MIPS, Here is the effect when using lzma: $ ls -sh vmlinux 7.1M vmlinux $ ls -sh vmlinuz 1.5M vmlinuz Have tested the 32bit kernel on Qemu/Malta and 64bit kernel on FuLoong Mini PC. both of them work well. and also, tested by Alexander Clouter on an AR7 based Linksys WAG54Gv2, and by Manuel Lauss on an Alchemy board. This -v2 version incorporate the feedback from Ralf, and add the following changes: 1. add .ecoff, .bin, .erec format support 2. only enable it and the debug source code for the machines we tested 3. a dozen of fixups and cleanups and if you want to enable it for your board, please try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT for it, and if the board have an 16550 compatible uart, you can select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 directly. and then sending the relative patches to Ralf.
