Subject: [kexec-lite PATCH V2] trampoline: Reset primary cpu endian to big-endian
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2015 13:29:38 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436326178-17021-1-git-send-email-sam.mj@au1.ibm.com> (raw)
Older big-endian ppc64 kernels don't include the FIXUP_ENDIAN check,
meaning if we kexec from a little-endian kernel the target kernel will
fail to boot.
Returning to big-endian before we enter the target kernel ensures that
the target kernel can boot whether or not it includes FIXUP_ENDIAN.
Signed-off-by: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas <sam.mj@au1.ibm.com>

V2: As suggested by Anton take advantage of the rfid call and switch off
MSR_LE and branch to the target kernel in the same step.
