[POWERPC] Start arch/powerpc/boot code reorganization

2006-09-20T05:09:58Z

This abstracts the operations used in the bootwrapper, and defines the operations needed for the bootwrapper to run on an OF platform. The operations have been divided up into platform ops (platform_ops), firmware ops (fw_ops), device tree ops (dt_ops), and console ops (console_ops). The proper operations will be hooked up at runtime to provide the functionality that you need. Signed-off-by: Mark A. Greer Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Editable kernel command-line in zImage binary.

2006-06-15T09:31:25Z

zImage will set /chosen/bootargs (if it is otherwise empty) with the contents of a buffer in the section "__builtin_cmdline". This permits tools to edit zImage binaries to set the command-line eventually processed by vmlinux. -- Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc: Make COFF zImages for old 32-bit powermacs

2006-01-14T04:04:06Z

This adds code to build zImage.coff and/or zImage.initrd.coff when CONFIG_PPC32 and CONFIG_PPC_PMAC are defined. It also restructures the OF client code and adds some workarounds for OF quirks on the older machines. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpc

2005-11-16T02:52:21Z

This also extends the code to handle 32-bit ELF vmlinux files as well as 64-bit ones. This is sufficient for booting on new-world 32-bit powermacs (i.e. all recent machines). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
