Florian Fainelli 31c4867d6c MIPS: ZBOOT: Support LZ4 compression scheme
Add support for the LZ4 compression scheme in the ZBOOT decompression
stub, in order to support it we need to:

- select the "lz4" compression tool to compress the vmlinux.bin
  payload
- memcpy() is also required for decompress_unlz4.c so we share the
  implementation between GZIP, XZ and now LZ4

Florian Fainelli e970a72ec1 MIPS: ZBOOT: Define program header for text loadable segment
There is currently no corresponding ELF program header for the "text"
loadable segment which is confusing for some bootloader out there such
as CFE because it expects to find a program header matching the segment
it is trying to load. The Linux kernel ELF binary "vmlinux" has a
similar program header for the text segment so we just mimic this here
too.

James Hogan 4defe4559e MIPS: Add uImage build target
Add a uImage build target for MIPS, which builds uImage.gz (a U-Boot
image of vmlinux.bin.gz), and then symlinks it to uImage. This allows
for the use of other compression algorithms in future, and is how a few
other architectures do it.

It's enabled conditionally on load-y >= 0xffffffff80000000 which
hopefully allows 64bit kernels to also work as long as the load and
entry address can be represented by the 32bit addresses in the U-Boot
image format.

James Hogan 3185557d1a MIPS: Refactor load/entry address calculations
The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple
places:
 - arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or
   defined by the platform) and passes it to
   arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile.
 - arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm.
 - arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address
   using nm.

Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make
parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/,
boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use
them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets.

The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the
load address using nm.

James Hogan 3b29aa5ba2 MIPS: add <dt-bindings/> symlink
Add symlink to include/dt-bindings from arch/mips/boot/dts/include/ to
match the ones in ARM and Meta architectures so that preprocessed device
tree files can include various useful constant definitions.

See commit c58299a (kbuild: create an "include chroot" for DT bindings)
merged in v3.10-rc1 for details.

MIPS structures it's dts files a little differently to other
architectures, having a separate dts directory for each SoC/platform,
but most of the definitions in the dt-bindings/ directory are common so
for now lets just have a single "include chroot" for all MIPS platforms.

Markos Chandras 23df34155b MIPS: Boot: Compressed: Remove -fstack-protector from CFLAGS
When building with -fstack-protector, gcc emits the __stack_chk_guard and
__stack_chk_fail symbols to check for stack stability. These symbols are
defined in vmlinux but the generated vmlinux.bin that is used to create
the compressed vmlinuz image has no symbol table so the linker can't find
these symbols during the final linking phase.  As a result of which, we
need either to redefine these symbols just for the compressed image or drop
the -fstack-protector option when building the compressed image. This patch
implements the latter of two options.

Fixes the following linking problem:

dbg.c:(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0x80): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0xd4): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0xec): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'

[ralf@linux-mips.org: I'm applying this before the patch that actually adds
stack protector support for MIPS.  This means, it will not be possible
to trigger above error message with any commit from the tree but rather
they are what one would hit without this commit.]

Fix VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS calculation to be based on the length of

Previously it was based on the length of KBUILD_IMAGE (the unstripped ELF
vmlinux), which is bigger than vmlinux.bin.  As a result, vmlinuz was
loaded into a memory address higher then actually needed - a problem for
small memory platforms.

Alexander Clouter 9c4a6fce20 MIPS: Fix vmlinuz build for 32bit-only math shells
POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long
arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but
the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit.

I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is
0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel
VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be:
----
alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
ffffffff94500000
alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
80000000003fffff
----

The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally.

Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and
dash:
----
$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))'
94500000

So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only
calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes
anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the
VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this:

1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix
2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE

This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a
32bit-only math shell is available.

Patch Changelog:
  Version 2
    - simplified method by using 'expr' for 'substr' and making it work
	with dash once again
  Version 1
    - Revert the removals of '-n "$(VMLINUX_SIZE)"' to avoid the error
        of "make clean"
    - Consider more cases of the VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS
  Version 0
    - initial release

Wu Zhangjin d4d9a553d7 MIPS: Cleanup and Fixup of compressed kernel support
o Remove the .initrd section.  The initrd section was already handled
   when vmlinux was linked.
 o Discard .MIPS.options, .options, .pdr, .reginfo, .comment and .note
   sections.  If .MIPS.options is not removed, kernels compiled with gcc
   3.4.6 will not boot.
 o Clean up the file format.
 o Remove several other unneeded sections.

Tested with GCC 3.4.6 and 4.4.1 with and without initrd.

Wu Zhangjin 1b93b3c3e9 MIPS: Add support for GZIP / BZIP2 / LZMA compressed kernel images
This patch helps to generate smaller kernel images for linux-MIPS,

Here is the effect when using lzma:

$ ls -sh vmlinux
7.1M vmlinux
$ ls -sh vmlinuz
1.5M vmlinuz

Have tested the 32bit kernel on Qemu/Malta and 64bit kernel on FuLoong
Mini PC. both of them work well. and also, tested by Alexander Clouter
on an AR7 based Linksys WAG54Gv2, and by Manuel Lauss on an Alchemy
board.

This -v2 version incorporate the feedback from Ralf, and add the
following changes:

1. add .ecoff, .bin, .erec format support
2. only enable it and the debug source code for the machines we tested
3. a dozen of fixups and cleanups

and if you want to enable it for your board, please try to select
SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT for it, and if the board have an 16550 compatible
uart, you can select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 directly. and then
sending the relative patches to Ralf.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
