From aab94339cd85d726abeae78fc02351fc1910e6a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Brandewie Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2010 11:57:26 -0800 Subject: of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to wrap the blobs for linking. STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition. The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob to get the structure alignment GCC expects. A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using obj-y += foo.dtb.o Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie Acked-by: Michal Marek [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely --- scripts/Makefile.lib | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+) (limited to 'scripts') diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.lib b/scripts/Makefile.lib index 4c72c1189479..396da16aabf8 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.lib +++ b/scripts/Makefile.lib @@ -200,6 +200,29 @@ quiet_cmd_gzip = GZIP $@ cmd_gzip = (cat $(filter-out FORCE,$^) | gzip -f -9 > $@) || \ (rm -f $@ ; false) +# DTC +# --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +# Generate an assembly file to wrap the output of the device tree compiler +quiet_cmd_dt_S_dtb= DTB $@ +cmd_dt_S_dtb= \ +( \ + echo '\#include '; \ + echo '.section .dtb.init.rodata,"a"'; \ + echo '.balign STRUCT_ALIGNMENT'; \ + echo '.global __dtb_$(*F)_begin'; \ + echo '__dtb_$(*F)_begin:'; \ + echo '.incbin "$<" '; \ + echo '__dtb_$(*F)_end:'; \ + echo '.global __dtb_$(*F)_end'; \ + echo '.balign STRUCT_ALIGNMENT'; \ +) > $@ + +$(obj)/%.dtb.S: $(obj)/%.dtb + $(call cmd,dt_S_dtb) + +quiet_cmd_dtc = DTC $@ +cmd_dtc = $(objtree)/scripts/dtc/dtc -O dtb -o $@ -b 0 $(DTC_FLAGS) $< # Bzip2 # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- cgit v1.2.3
