Subject: Starting the arch/powerpc merge
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 10:25:38 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17208.37250.577664.621993@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)
I have pushed a commit to the powerpc-merge.git tree which gets us far
enough to be able to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with
ARCH=powerpc. It's still very rough in places, and it uses bits out
of arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, but it is a start.
Of course, this means that we are about to bump up against the really
hard bits of the merge. Things like
* converting ppc32 to use the lmb infrastructure
* introducing the device-tree flattening/unflattening to ppc32
* working out how to deal with the early hash table initialization
that POWER4 needs on ppc32
* reconciling the fact that ppc64 needs RELOC in the prom_init code,
whereas ppc32 doesn't; but ppc64 doesn't need RELOC when running
with the MMU off but ppc32 does (or needs -mrelocatable).
I look forward to people sending me patches to push this on a bit
further, and in particular to populate arch/powerpc/platforms a bit
more. :)
Paul.
