[PATCH 7/15] bootwrapper: Add kexec callable zImage wrapper

Milton Miller miltonm at bga.com
Wed Jul 11 08:10:20 EST 2007


This code creates a 32 bit zImage wrapper for a 32 or 64 bit PowerPC
Linux kernel.   This allows you to kexec a zImage with its compressed
vmlinux instead of the uncompressed vmlinux elf.  The elf is also
packaged as a 64 bit elf for use by kexec-tools for 64 bit kernels.

Limitations:

The memory node off the root with a name starting with "memory" must
contain enough free memory (not in the reserved ranges) in the first
reg range to uncompress the the kernel with padding.

I split a few more routines out from this file.

I removed the call serial_console_init because some of the serial
console require a loader supplied virtural address mapping which
will not exist when called from kexec.

Successfully boots from and to a 64 bit kernel when loaded at 0 and
when loaded after the kernel _end on machines with with initrds,
rtas, and various other data reserved.

The next patch needed to load using kexec-tools without an externally
generated flat device tree.
