Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 02/35] powerpc: Fix COFF zImage booting on old powermacs
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2018 17:41:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181226224142.150866-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181226224142.150866-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>

[ Upstream commit 5564597d51c8ff5b88d95c76255e18b13b760879 ]

Commit 6975a783d7b4 ("powerpc/boot: Allow building the zImage wrapper
as a relocatable ET_DYN", 2011-04-12) changed the procedure descriptor
at the start of crt0.S to have a hard-coded start address of 0x500000
rather than a reference to _zimage_start, presumably because having
a reference to a symbol introduced a relocation which is awkward to
handle in a position-independent executable.  Unfortunately, what is
at 0x500000 in the COFF image is not the first instruction, but the
procedure descriptor itself, that is, a word containing 0x500000,
which is not a valid instruction.  Hence, booting a COFF zImage
results in a "DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00700" message from Open
Firmware.

This fixes the problem by (a) putting the procedure descriptor in the
data section and (b) adding a branch to _zimage_start as the first
instruction in the program.
