2017-01-03MIPS: zboot: Consolidate compiler flag filtering.Ralf Baechle1-1/+1
Al Viro noticed that we were using two different methods to filter out flags from KBUILD_CFLAGS. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Reported-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2017-01-03MIPS: Zboot: Don't use $(LINUXINCLUDE) twicePaul Bolle1-2/+2
The make variables KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS both contain $(LINUXINCLUDE). But the build already picks up $(LINUXINCLUDE) from scripts/Makefile.lib. The net effect is that the (long) list of include directories is used twice. This is harmless but pointless. So stop using $(LINUXINCLUDE) twice.

2016-04-03MIPS: zboot: Fix the build with XZ compression on older GCC versionsAlban Bedel1-3/+3
Some older GCC version (at least 4.6) emits calls to __bswapsi2() when building the XZ decompressor. The link of the compressed image then fails with the following error: arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o: In function '__fswab32': include/uapi/linux/swab.h:60: undefined reference to '__bswapsi2' Add bswapsi.o to the link to fix the build with these versions.

Add dummy.o to the targets list, and fill targets automatically from $(vmlinuzobjs) to avoid having to maintain two lists. When building with XZ compression copy ashldi3.c to the build directory to use a different object file for the kernel and zboot. Without this the same object file need to be build with different flags which cause a rebuild at every run.

2013-09-03MIPS: Refactor load/entry address calculationsJames Hogan1-1/+1
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.

2013-07-01MIPS: Boot: Compressed: Remove -fstack-protector from CFLAGSMarkos Chandras1-0/+2
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.] Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/5575/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Fix VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS calculation to be based on the length of vmlinux.bin, the actual uncompressed kernel binary. 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.

2010-01-28MIPS: Fix vmlinuz build for 32bit-only math shellsAlexander Clouter1-2/+5
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 $ dash -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 Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk> Acked-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/861/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
