This automatically calculate ZRELADDR by +masking PHYS_OFFSET with 0xf8000000. + +However, on IPQ806x, the first ~20MB of RAM is reserved for the hardware +network accelerators, and the bootloader removes this section from the +layout passed from the ATAGS (when used). + +For newer bootloader, when DT is used, this is not a problem, we just +reserve this memory in the device tree. But if the bootloader doesn't +have DT support, then ATAGS have to be used. In this case, the ARM +decompressor will position the kernel in this low mem, which will not be +in the RAM section mapped by the bootloader, which means the kernel will +freeze in the middle of the boot process trying to map the memory. + +As a work around, this patch allows disabling AUTO_ZRELADDR when +ARCH_QCOM is selected. It makes the zImage usage possible on bootloaders +which don't support device-tree, which is the case on certain early +IPQ806x based designs. + +Signed-off-by: Mathieu Olivari <mathieu@codeaurora.org> +--- + arch/arm/Kconfig | 2 +- + arch/arm/Makefile | 2 ++ + arch/arm/mach-qcom/Makefile.boot | 1 + + 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) + create mode 100644 arch/arm/mach-qcom/Makefile.boot + +diff --git a/arch/arm/Kconfig b/arch/arm/Kconfig +index 89c4b5c..4583ea5 100644 +--- a/arch/arm/Kconfig ++++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig +@@ -311,7 +311,7 @@ config ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM + select ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB + select ARM_HAS_SG_CHAIN + select ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT +- select AUTO_ZRELADDR ++ select AUTO_ZRELADDR if !ARCH_QCOM + select CLKSRC_OF + select COMMON_CLK + select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS +diff --git a/arch/arm/Makefile b/arch/arm/Makefile +index 7453352..5d6f8ac 100644 +--- a/arch/arm/Makefile ++++ b/arch/arm/Makefile +@@ -240,9 +240,11 @@ MACHINE := arch/arm/mach-$(word 1,$(machine-y))/ + else + MACHINE := + endif ++ifeq ($(CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM),) + ifeq ($(CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM),y) + MACHINE := + endif ++endif + + machdirs := $(patsubst %,arch/arm/mach-%/,$(machine-y)) + platdirs := $(patsubst %,arch/arm/plat-%/,$(sort $(plat-y))) +diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-qcom/Makefile.boot b/arch/arm/mach-qcom/Makefile.boot +new file mode 100644 +index 0000000..67a6d5a +--- /dev/null ++++ b/arch/arm/mach-qcom/Makefile.boot +@@ -0,0 +1 @@ ++zreladdr-y+= 0x42208000 +-- +1.9.1 + |
