[PATCH 0/4] Support for device-tree appended to zImage

[John Bonesio]

The following series support for device tree binary blobs (dtb) that are
appended to the compressed kernel image (zImage).

Having appended dtb data is not required to boot with a device tree. If no dtb
data is appended to zImage, the kernel will boot using prior methods.

[PATCH 1/4] ARM:boot:device tree: Allow the device tree binary to be appended to zImage

[John Bonesio]

This patch provides the ability to boot using a device tree that is appended
to the raw binary zImage (e.g. cat zImage <filename>.dtb > zImage_w_dtb).

The default is n by default, so you don't need to mention it.

Also this should depend on OF (CONFIG_OF).

s/bianry/binary/

Since this is an help text for people who might not have a clue about 
"dtb", it would be better to spell it out.

Instead of clobbering r12, you could use lr instead.

The byte swap on the size should be done only if __ARMEB__ is not 
defined i.e. #ifndef __ARMEB__ ...

Also the DT signature should be endian aware.

This is wrong. You are going to displace the .bss pointers even if they 
don't need that in the case where no dtb was found.  And if a dtb was 
found the displacement is going to be the size of the dtb _plus_ the 
size of the .bss_stack instead of only the dtb size.

At this point you should only keep track of the .bss displacement in 
addition to the delta offset in r0.  And if both are equal to zero then 
skip over the fixup loop as before.

The above would be much more elegant if written like this:

		cmp	r1, r2
		cmphs	r3, r1
		addhi	r1, r5

This will always be true as this is within #ifndef CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM.

You should have updated r8 the moment you knew you have a valid dtb 
earlier instead of duplicating this test here.

The default is n by default, so you don't need to mention it.

Also this should depend on OF (CONFIG_OF).

Since this is an help text for people who might not have a clue about 
"dtb", it would be better to spell it out.

Instead of clobbering r12, you could use lr instead.

The byte swap on the size should be done only if __ARMEB__ is not 
defined i.e. #ifndef __ARMEB__ ...

Also the DT signature should be endian aware.

This is wrong. You are going to displace the .bss pointers even if they 
don't need that in the case where no dtb was found.  And if a dtb was 
found the displacement is going to be the size of the dtb _plus_ the 
size of the .bss_stack instead of only the dtb size.

At this point you should only keep track of the .bss displacement in 
addition to the delta offset in r0.  And if both are equal to zero then 
skip over the fixup loop as before.

The above would be much more elegant if written like this:

		cmp	r1, r2
		cmphs	r3, r1
		addhi	r1, r5

This will always be true as this is within #ifndef CONFIG_ZBOOT_ROM.

Right now sp will always be above r6. I thought it might be prudent to
add the test in case the linker script changed and the stack was placed
elsewhere. It might save someone a headache later.

Right now sp will always be above r6. I thought it might be prudent to
add the test in case the linker script changed and the stack was placed
elsewhere. It might save someone a headache later.

That's what comments are for.  And if someone modifies the linker script 
without understanding the affected code then that someone deserves the 
pain.

Maybe I'm not understanding correctly. I think that if there is an
appended dtb, then there are sections like the code and data that needs
to be adjusted by the old r0 value, while the bss and the stack need to
be adjusted by the old r0 + dtb size.

If my understanding is right, then we can't just add the dtb size to r0
and adjust everything.

Am I missing something?

Maybe I'm not understanding correctly. I think that if there is an
appended dtb, then there are sections like the code and data that needs
to be adjusted by the old r0 value, while the bss and the stack need to
be adjusted by the old r0 + dtb size.

If my understanding is right, then we can't just add the dtb size to r0
and adjust everything.

Am I missing something?

Exact.

indeed.

Suppose that no dtb was found.  In that case, r10 is still pointing to 
the top of the stack.  So r5 will contain the size of .bss and the 
stack.  Then you bump .bss pointers in the GOT by that size.  If a dtb 
was found then r5 ends up with the size of the dtb plus .bss plus stack.

What I'm suggesting is that the size of the dtb be kept in a register of 
its own up to this point.  That size can be 0 if none was found.  If
r0 == 0 and dtb_size == 0 then the whole GOT fixup can be skipped as it 
is done at the moment by branching to not_relocated.

[PATCH 2/4] ARM:boot:device tree: Merge specific atags into the device tree

[John Bonesio]

This patch is to merge in key atags into the appended device tree.  An appended
device tree is where the zImage has a dtb binary appended at the end of it. The
boot code looks for an appended device tree, then looks for a few key atags
passed in by the bootloader.

The bootargs and memory size settings, if they exist, override existing values
in the appended device tree. If these values don't currently exist in the
appended device tree, they are added.

That's fine.  This feature was implemented to meet a client's
requirement and to experiment with manipulating the .dtb in the zimage
wrapper.  We're posting it here for completeness if anyone else wants
to play with it.  Same for the last patch that allows appending
multiple dtbs.

[PATCH 3/4] ARM:boot:device tree: Add puthex routine for use in the boot wrapper

[John Bonesio]

This patch adds a routine named 'puthex'. This allows the boot wraper code to
display hex numbers.

I'm trying to test and use it.  But it does not apply against any tree
that I can find, neither mainline nor Grant's tree.  Need rebasing?

[PATCH 0/4] Support for device-tree appended to zImage

[John Bonesio]

Hi Shawn,

I'm using Grant's tree with Nicolas Pitre's patch to the compressed
image wrapper. His patches went out to the ARM list and I'm told they
were accepted. These patches may not yet be in Grant's tree. These
patches are titled:

[PATCH 1/2] ARM: improvements to compressed/head.S
[PATCH 2/2] ARM: remove the 4x expansion presumption while decompressing
the kernel

Grant, is there a branch in your tree that people should be using, or
should be they applying both sets of patches?
