The code is only slightly modified : entry points now use the
FIXUP_ENDIAN trampoline to switch endian order. The 32bit wrapper
is kept for big endian kernels and 64bit is enforced for little
endian kernels with a PPC64_BOOT_WRAPPER config option.
The linker script is generated using the kernel preprocessor flags
to make use of the CONFIG_* definitions and the wrapper script is
modified to take into account the new elf64ppc format.
Finally, the zImage file is compiled as a position independent
executable (-pie) which makes it loadable at any address by the
firmware.

When entering the boot wrapper in little endian, we will need to fix
the endian order using a fixup trampoline like in the kernel. This
patch overrides the _zimage_start entry point for this purpose.

Add support for the Motorola/Emerson MVME5100 Single Board Computer.
The MVME5100 is a 6U form factor VME64 computer with:
- A single MPC7410 or MPC750 CPU
- A HAWK Processor Host Bridge (CPU to PCI) and
MultiProcessor Interrupt Controller (MPIC)
- Up to 500Mb of onboard memory
- A M48T37 Real Time Clock (RTC) and Non-Volatile Memory chip
- Two 16550 compatible UARTS
- Two Intel E100 Fast Ethernets
- Two PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Slots
- PPCBug Firmware
The HAWK PHB/MPIC is compatible with the MPC10x devices.
There is no onboard disk support. This is usually provided by installing a PMC
in first PMC slot.
This patch revives the board support, it was present in early 2.6
series kernels. The board support in those days was by Matt Porter of
MontaVista Software.
CSC Australia has around 31 of these boards in service. The kernel in use
for the boards is based on 2.6.31. The boards are operated without disks
from a file server.
This patch is based on linux-3.13-rc2 and has been boot tested.
Only boards with 512 Mb of memory are known to work.

The wrapper script needs an explicit rule for the "of" boot
wrapper (generic wrapper, similar to pseries). Before
0c9fa29149 it was hanlded
implicitly by the statement:
platformo=$object/"$platform".o
But now that epapr.o needs to be added, that doesn't work
and an explicit rule must be added.

Commit c55aef0e5b ("powerpc/boot: Change the load address for the
wrapper to fit the kernel") adjusts the wrapper address unnecessarily
for platforms that use arch/powerpc/boot/of.c, since the code there
allocates space for the kernel wherever it can find it and doesn't
necessarily load the kernel at address 0. Changing the link address
is actually harmful since it can cause the zImage to overlap with
Open Firmware and thus fail to boot.
To fix this, we set make_space to n for all of the platforms that
use of.o.

Commit c55aef0e5b "powerpc/boot: Change the load address for the wrapper

was too large. Ps3 does not compress the kernel and uses a different
linker script, so do not adjust the load address in that case.

The wrapper code which uncompresses the kernel in case of a 'ppc' boot
is by default loaded at 0x00400000 and the kernel will be uncompressed
to fit the location 0-0x00400000. But with dynamic relocations, the size
of the kernel may exceed 0x00400000(4M). This would cause an overlap
of the uncompressed kernel and the boot wrapper, causing a failure in
boot.
The message looks like :
zImage starting: loaded at 0x00400000 (sp: 0x0065ffb0)
Allocating 0x5ce650 bytes for kernel ...
Insufficient memory for kernel at address 0! (_start=00400000, uncompressed size=00591a20)
This patch shifts the load address of the boot wrapper code to the next
higher MB, according to the size of the uncompressed vmlinux.
With the patch, we get the following message while building the image :
WARN: Uncompressed kernel (size 0x5b0344) overlaps the address of the wrapper(0x400000)
WARN: Fixing the link_address of wrapper to (0x600000)

So I've had one of these for a while and it looks like the vendor never
bothered submitting the support upstream.
This adds it using ppc40x_simple and provides a device-tree.
There are some changes to the boot wrapper because the way u-boot works
on this thing, it seems to expect a multipart image with the kernel,
initrd and dtb in it.
The USB support is missing as it needs the yet unmerged driver for
the DWC OTG part and the GPIOs may need further definition in the dts.

This is a first cut at making bootwrapper code which will
produce a zImage compliant with the requirements set down
by ePAPR.
This is a very simple bootwrapper, taking the device tree
blob supplied by the ePAPR boot program and passing it on
to the kernel. It builds on the earlier patch to build a
relocatable ET_DYN zImage to meet the other ePAPR image
requirements.
For good measure we have some paranoid checks which will
generate warnings if some of the ePAPR entry condition
guarantees are not met.

This patch adds code, linker script and makefile support to allow
building the zImage wrapper around the kernel as a position independent
executable. This results in an ET_DYN instead of an ET_EXEC ELF output
file, which can be loaded at any location by the firmware and will
process its own relocations to work correctly at the loaded address.
This is of interest particularly since the standard ePAPR image format
must be an ET_DYN (although this patch alone is not sufficient to
produce a fully ePAPR compliant boot image).
Note for now we don't enable building with -pie for anything.
