Hi,
The following patchset adds support for 64bit little endian boot
wrapper for pseries. It is based on original code from Andrew Tauferner.
The first patches provide fixes for 64bit. I also changed the prom
code to make it converge with the prom_init kernel code. They have
a lot in common and they could probably be merged if we find a way
to do it.
powerpc/boot: fix do_div for 64bit wrapper
powerpc/boot: use a common prom_args struct in oflib
powerpc/boot: use prom_arg_t in oflib
powerpc/boot: add byteswapping routines in oflib
powerpc/boot: add PROM_ERROR define in oflib
powerpc/boot: rework of_claim() to make it 64bit friendly
powerpc/boot: define typedef ihandle as u32
powerpc/boot: fix compile warning in 64bit
These are for little endian only:
powerpc/boot: define byteswapping routines for little endian
powerpc/boot: add 64bit and little endian support to addnote
powerpc/boot: add little endian support to elf utils
and these to support a 64bit boot wrapper in both endian order :
powerpc/boot: define a routine to enter prom
powerpc/boot: modify entry point for 64bit
powerpc/boot: modify how we enter kernel on 64bit
powerpc/boot: add a global entry point for pseries
powerpc/boot: add support for 64bit big endian wrapper
powerpc/boot: add support for 64bit little endian wrapper
This final patch restores the previous configuration for 64bit
big endian kernel, which is to compile in 32bit :
powerpc/boot: add PPC64_BOOT_WRAPPER config option
Here are some initial topics to discuss :
- To compile in 64bit, -m64 is added to the cross32 compiler ...
This is not the most elegant solutions.
- There are still some compile warnings due to 64bit in the
device tree wrapper library.
- The boot wrapper is compiled as a position independent executable.
This might not be an issue though.
This patchset is based on a 3.13 and was tested on qemu with the -kernel
option on little and big endian guests. It was also tested with a
custom yaboot supporting Little Endian kernels.
Yours,
C.
