[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Support ramdisks with U-Boot header

[Soren Brinkmann]

For loading Linux kernels, QEMU already is able to recognize and load
them when they feature a U-Boot header. This patch series targets to
extend this support to ramdisks.
Furthermore the ARM support code is changed to use the new functionality.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] hw/loader: Support ramdisk with u-boot header

[Soren Brinkmann]

Introduce 'load_ramdisk()' which can load "normal" ramdisks and ramdisks
with a u-boot header.
To enable this and leverage synergies 'load_uimage()' is refactored to
accomodate this additional use case.

Doesn't this patch fix this TODO item?

You could include the type byte here, the way we do for
unknown compression types.

So I can sort of see why we end up this way, but it's a bit
asymmetric that we handle 'uimage or raw' ramdisk at this
level, but require the caller to do it for the kernel.

If we're providing separate functions for kernel and
ramdisk loading shouldn't they check that the uimage
has the appropriate type?

Since this is a new function, it should have a suitably
formatted documentation comment. (the extract and deposit
functions at the bottom of include/qemu/bitops.h are the
examples of the format that I usually crib from.)

Well, partly. There are a couple of more image types which are still
not supported. So, I didnt' bother touching this comment just because
this adds support for a second out of 10 or something types.

I agree it's not symmetric. The question is: Leaving this as is and hope
somebody changes the kernel loading. Or should this be changed with
having the "normal" ramdisk fallback at caller level?
I like this solution better, but well, that's probably just me.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Moving the check for the
appropriate u-boot header type down here? I tried to find some
reasonable way to further split the load_uboot_image() routine to move
some of it's functionality into the two functions down here. But it all
seemed pretty messy and I left pretty much all functionality in
load_uboot_image() and just pass errors through.

Okay, I'll have a look at those.

I had in mind that these functions should pass the "expected"
type byte in to the load_uboot_image() function so it can
fail if the blob it is passed isn't actually the right type
(eg you pass the kernel to -initrd and vice-versa).

Thanks for the clarification. I agree. I'll add such a check.

I prefer the symmetric approach, The if-else logic on image types is a
board/arch specific policy (even though it arguably shouldn't be).
Fixing this I think is best left to when we get around to doing a
bootloader overhaul. Can we just drop this if and push the targphys
fallback to the arch bootloaders?

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] hw/arm: Use 'load_ramdisk()' for loading ramdisk

[Soren Brinkmann]

The load_ramdisk function takes over loading traditional ramdisks images
and does also load ramdisks with u-boot header.
