Subject: [PATCH 7/7 v1.1] ARM: Thumb-2: Restore sensible zImage header layout for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2010 11:11:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1289992294-7181-1-git-send-email-dave.martin@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1289913277-8822-7-git-send-email-dave.martin@linaro.org>
The code which makes up the zImage header intends to leave a
32-byte gap followed by a branch to the real entry point, a
magic number, and a word containing the absolute entry point
address.
This gets messed up with with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL, because the
size of the initial padding NOPs changes.
Instead, the header can be made fully compatible by restoring
it to ARM.
In the Thumb-2 case, we can replace the initial NOPs with a
sequence which switches to Thumb and jumps to the real entry
point.
As a consequence, the zImage entry point is now always ARM, so
no special magic is needed any more for the uImage rules in the
Thumb-2 case.
Applies cleanly on v2.6.37-rc2.
