[PATCH v1] kexec-tools: ppc32: Fixup the ThreadPointer for purgatory code.

Suzuki K. Poulose suzuki at in.ibm.com
Mon Jul 11 21:29:45 EST 2011


PPC32 ELF ABI expects r2 to be loaded with Thread Pointer, which is 0x7000
bytes past the end of TCB. Though the purgatory is single threaded, it uses
TCB scratch space in vsnprintf(). This patch allocates a 1024byte TCB
and populates the TP with the address accordingly.
