Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Kexec fixes and updates for MIPS platforms
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 10:49:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1480672151-18503-1-git-send-email-marcin.nowakowski@imgtec.com> (raw)
This patch series tries to bring the support for MIPS up to date and make it more
generic (fix little-endian support, simplify code for 32/64 bit handling), as well
as to clean up some existing incorrect code (patches 1-4).
Patches 5 & 6 add new functionality - passing external DTBs and initrd, especially
the DTB support is required for platforms that use a recently introduced generic
kernel infrastructure.
Note that patch 5 (and 6, as it depends on patch 5) require changes in the kernel
that are currently pending review:
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14615/
Core dump support is currently broken on all MIPS kernels and is also pending
review:
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14587/
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/14586/
Patches 1-4 can be safely added without waiting for kernel patches to be merged,
but patches 5-6 should be held until the kernel patches are accepted in case changes
are requested.

mips: move arch option parsing from elf loader to common arch code
mips: crashdump: add little-endian support
mips: add dtb loading support
mips: add option to load initrd from a specified file
