powerpc/boot: Fix build failure in 32-bit boot wrapper

2016-11-28T11:58:13+00:00

OPAL is not callable from 32-bit mode and the assembly code for it
may not even build (depending on how binutils was configured).

powerpc/boot: Add support for XZ compression

2016-09-28T04:35:14+00:00

This patch adds an option to use XZ compression for the kernel image.

Currently this is only enabled for 64-bit Book3S targets, which is
roughly equivalent to the platforms that use the kernel's zImage
wrapper, and that have been tested.

The bulk of the 32-bit platforms and 64-bit BookE use uboot images,
which relies on uboot implementing XZ. In future we can enable XZ
support for those targets once someone has tested it.

powerpc/boot: Add XZ support to the wrapper script

2016-09-28T04:32:27+00:00

This modifies the wrapper script so that the -Z option takes an argument
to specify the compression type. It can either be 'gz', 'xz' or 'none'.

The legazy --no-gzip and -z options are still supported and will set the
compression to none and gzip respectively, but they are not documented.

Only XZ -6 is used for compression rather than XZ -9. Using compression
levels higher than 6 requires the decompressor to build a large (64MB)
dictionary when decompressing and some environments cannot satisfy such
large allocations (e.g. POWER 6 LPAR partition firmware).

powerpc/boot: Use the pre-boot decompression API

2016-09-28T04:31:43+00:00

Currently the powerpc boot wrapper has its own wrapper around zlib to
handle decompressing gzipped kernels. The kernel decompressor library
functions now provide a generic interface that can be used in the
pre-boot environment. This allows boot wrappers to easily support
different compression algorithms. This patch converts the wrapper to use
this new API, but does not add support for using new algorithms.

powerpc/boot: Use CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP

2016-09-28T04:25:55+00:00

Most architectures allow the compression algorithm used to produced the
vmlinuz image to be selected as a kernel config option. In preperation
for supporting algorithms other than gzip in the powerpc boot wrapper
the makefile needs to be modified to use these config options.

powerpc/boot: Add sed script

2016-09-28T04:20:44+00:00

The powerpc boot wrapper is potentially compiled with a separate
toolchain and/or toolchain flags than the rest of the kernel. The usual
case is a 64-bit big endian kernel builds a 32-bit big endian wrapper.

The main problem with this is that the wrapper does not have access to
the kernel headers (without a lot of gross hacks). To get around this
the required headers are copied into the build directory via several sed
scripts which rewrite problematic includes. This patch moves these
fixups out of the makefile into a separate .sed script file to clean up
makefile slightly.

powerpc/boot: Use $(Q) to quiet build rules not @

2016-09-13T07:37:05+00:00

Some of the rules in the boot Makefile use @ to hide the command, this
means "make V=1" doesn't show them, which is confusing.

So use the Kbuild standard $(Q) which means KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 or V=1 will
work as expected.

Kbuild: arch: look for generated headers in obtree

2016-07-18T19:31:35+00:00

There are very few files that need add an -I$(obj) gcc for the preprocessor
or the assembler. For C files, we add always these for both the objtree and
srctree, but for the other ones we require the Makefile to add them, and
Kbuild then adds it for both trees.

As a preparation for changing the meaning of the -I$(obj) directive to
only refer to the srctree, this changes the two instances in arch/x86 to use
an explictit $(objtree) prefix where needed, otherwise we won't find the
headers any more, as reported by the kbuild 0day builder.

powerpc/86xx: Add support for Emerson/Artesyn MVME7100

2016-07-09T01:01:27+00:00

Add support for the Artesyn MVME7100 Single Board Computer.

The MVME7100 is a 6U form factor VME64 computer with:

    - A two e600 cores Freescale MPC8641D CPU
    - 2 GB of DDR2 onboard memory
    - Four Gigabit Ethernets
    - Five 16550 compatible UARTs
    - One USB 2.0 port
    - Two PCI/PCI eXpress Mezzanine Card (PMC/XMC) Slots
    - A DS1375 Real Time Clock (RTC)
    - 512 KB of Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM)
    - Two 64 KB EEPROMs
    - 128 MB NOR and 4/8 GB NAND Flash

This patch is based on linux-4.7-rc1 and has been only boot tested.

Limitations:
    This patch covers only models 171 and 173
    No plans to support CPLD timers

Know issues:
    All four PHYs work in polling mode

Configuration is missing for:
    PCI IDSEL and PCI Interrupt definition

Support is missing for:
    Cache and memory controllers (which are very similar to the 85xx ones
        but right now I don't know if we can re-use their support)
    Watchdog, USB, NVRAM, NOR, NAND, EEPROMs, VME, PMC/XMC and RTC
