2010-05-13kexec-tools: remove unused code from arch_process_options (arm, cris, ia64, ↵Matt Evans
mips, ppc) These architectures don't have any architecture-specific options (note: distinct from loader options, which are more specific), yet their arch_process_options() functions contain getopts_long() calls followed by no argument processing. The code doesn't do anything, so this patch removes it. Signed-off-by: Matt Evans <matt@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
2010-03-08some kexec MIPS improvementsMaxim Uvarov
- using simple mips* ) in configure.ac to make it compilable on mips2 and mips64 - remove kexec/arch/mips/mips-setup-simple.S which prepares cmdline for new kernel, it is better to move this work to kernel code. BTW this code was compilable only on o32 because of t4 is not defined on 64-64 or n32 MIPS ABIs. - simple put cmdline as string, kernel code should catch cmdline like this int board_kexec_prepare(struct kimage *image) { int i; char *bootloader = "kexec"; board_boot_desc_ptr->argc = 0; for(i=0;i<image->nr_segments;i++) { printk("segment %d if (!strncmp(bootloader, (char*)image->segment[i].buf, strlen(bootloader))) { /* * convert command line string to array * of parameters (as bootloader does). */ int argc = 0, offt; char *str = (char *)image->segment[i].buf; char *ptr = strchr(str, ' '); while (ptr && (ARGV_MAX_ARGS > argc)) { *ptr = '\0'; if (ptr[1] != ' ') { offt = (int)(ptr - str + 1); boot_desc_ptr->argv[argc] = image->segment[i].mem + offt; argc++; } ptr = strchr(ptr + 1, ' '); } boot_desc_ptr->argc = argc; break; } } Keep it as string make code simple and more readable. - add crashdump support - do not redefine syscalls numbers if they defined in system remove fixups for /proc/iomem. If your board provides wrong /proc/iomem please fix kernel, or at least you local version of kexec. No need to support it in main line. At least add option --fake-iomem - some minor fixes Signed-off-by: Maxim Uvarov <muvarov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>

2008-05-21Factor uname-based native architecture detection into a common function.Jamey Sharp
This code was copy-pasted into every architecture and was basically identical. Besides producing a nice net reduction in code, this factors a portability challenge into a single function that can be easily replaced at build-time.

2008-03-18kexec-tools: mips: support big-endian mips (repost)Simon Horman
[ Reposted with correct linux-mips address ] Hi, this patch switches the mips support in kexec-tools around a little bit. All the files and directories containing "mipsel" have been renamed to contain "mips" instead. This is kind of consistent with the way that ARCH=mips in the kernel works for both big and little endian. After a small amount of tweaking, which is also included in this patch, the code compiles and works fine for big endian mips as well as small endian mips. All you need to do is compile using an appropriate compiler. That is to say, kexec-tools's build system doesn't need to be told about which endienness the code is being compiled for. I have added kept mipsel as a supported "architecture" via ./configure, though its just an alias for mips now. This is consistent with how other architectures such as sh are treated. But I'm happy to remove mipsel from ./configure if the mips people want that. I tested this patch using qemu and the 2.6.24.3 tag of the mips-2.6 git tree compiled for the qemu machine type for both big and little endian. The qemu machine type has subsequently been removed, and kexec-tools needs some work in order to function with qemu - as far as I understand the way the boot parameters are passed needs to be fixed, likely in purgatory. However, this is not related to the changes introduced in this patch. I intend to merge this patch into kexec-tools-testing if no alarm bells are sounded.
