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

Milton Miller miltonm at bga.com
Sat Sep 22 09:04:58 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 code is also
packaged as a 64 bit elf for use by kexec-tools on 64 bit kernels.

Limitations:
Note: the device-tree generated by kexec-tools is currently version 2,
not the version 16 supported by the boot code base.

Signed-off-by: Milton Miller <miltonm at bga.com>
---
find_rmo_end moved to memranges as find_rma_end.
early_scan_flat_tree replaced with calls to its pieces in
kexec_platform_init
rediff wrapper, Makefile, ops.h
