* powerpc/boot: Add support for 64bit little endian wrapperCédric Le Goater2014-04-281-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code is only slightly modified : entry points now use the FIXUP_ENDIAN trampoline to switch endian order. The 32bit wrapper is kept for big endian kernels and 64bit is enforced for little endian kernels with a PPC64_BOOT_WRAPPER config option. The linker script is generated using the kernel preprocessor flags to make use of the CONFIG_* definitions and the wrapper script is modified to take into account the new elf64ppc format. Finally, the zImage file is compiled as a position independent executable (-pie) which makes it loadable at any address by the firmware.

* powerpc: Convert some mftb/mftbu into mfsprScott Wood2013-08-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some CPUs (such as e500v1/v2) don't implement mftb and will take a trap. mfspr should work on everything that has a timebase, and is the preferred instruction according to ISA v2.06. Currently we get away with mftb on 85xx because the assembler converts it to mfspr due to -Wa,-me500. However, that flag has other effects that are undesireable for certain targets (e.g. lwsync is converted to sync), and is hostile to multiplatform kernels. Thus we would like to stop setting it for all e500-family builds. mftb/mftbu instances which are in 85xx code or common code are converted. Instances which will never run on 85xx are left alone.

* powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpcPaul Mackerras2005-11-161-0/+62
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 <paulus@samba.org>
