[PATCH 2/2] qemu platform rom, v2

Milton Miller miltonm at bga.com
Sat Sep 22 09:08:47 EST 2007


Here is the second rev of patches to boot a powerpc port kernel on
qemu with the prep architecture.

The goal is to provide a environment for use with the existing qemu
hardware suppplied hardware, as oposed to changing the qemu
machine description.

This patch has the changes to the boot wrapper and the device tree.
It applies to the additon of my kexec series to the for-2.6.24 branch
as of 2007/09/21.

The wrapper code zBoot is packaged as ppc_rom.bin, provding a replacement
for OpenHackware.   [OpenHackware requires the kernel boot device to
have a partition table, even if its laoded in memory (which prep sort
of provides).  It also only gueses the execution of boot sripts and any
forth, and has noot seen any development in 3 years].

This rom copies its contents to ram where it then invokes the normal
wrapper starup path, using the serial port for the console.  It proceeds
to locate the commandline, kernel, and initrd using nvram.  It supports
only nvram at the prep location of 0x8000074 indicating a boot from
"memory" aka qemu -kernel or drive "m".  The loaded image can be a
kernel or a zImage (in this mode it will ignore any attached device
tree preferring the one supplied via r3), but the contianed kernel and
optionally a initrd as per the normal build process will be used.

Specifically, the patch requrires (1) external vmlinux hook and wrapper
(2) check loader_info command line after fixups, and (3) obtain initrd
from device-tree, (4) several patches committed to the for-2.6.24 branch.

When building the rom, configure the device tree as "qemu.dts".  When
building the vmlinux or zImage -kernel, you can use the empty string
("") to suppress the call to dtc as the code will ignore any attached dtb.

When invoking qemu, use the -L flag to specify the directory with the
ppc_rom.bin file.
