MIPS: boot: Fix unaligned access with CONFIG_MIPS_RAW_APPENDED_DTB

2020-12-28T22:26:16+00:00

The compressed payload is not necesarily 4-byte aligned, at least when
compiling with Clang. In that case, the 4-byte value appended to the
compressed payload that corresponds to the uncompressed kernel image
size must be read using get_unaligned_le32().

This fixes Clang-built kernels not booting on MIPS (tested on a Ingenic
JZ4770 board).

MIPS: Enable GCOV

2020-12-04T12:00:53+00:00

Enable gcov profiling of the entire kernel on mips. Required changes
include disabling profiling for:

* arch/kernel/boot/compressed: not linked to main kernel.

Lightly tested on Loongson 3A3000 an 3A4000, seems to work as expected.

without "GCOV_PROFILE := n" in compressed Makefile,
build errors as follows:
...
ld: arch/mips/boot/compressed/string.o:(.data+0x88):

mips: boot: add support for self-extracting FIT images (vmlinuz.itb)

2020-11-12T22:47:22+00:00

Commit c3e2ee657418 ("MIPS: generic: Add support for zboot") added
support for self-extracting images to Generic MIPS. However, the
intended way to boot Generic MIPS kernels is using FIT Images and
UHI boot protocol, but currently there's no way to make self-extracting
FIT Image (only legacy uzImages).
Add a target for this named "vmlinuz.itb", which will consist of
vmlinuz.bin and selected DT blobs. It will allow to have the advantages
of both UHI and self-extracting images.

mips: boot: clean up self-extracting targets scenarios

2020-11-12T22:46:45+00:00

1. All final targets like vmlinuz.{bin,ecoff,srec} etc. should reside in
   $(objtree)/arch/mips/boot, not in the root $(objtree) directory.
   The only file that should be left there is vmlinuz, similar to other
   architectures.
2. Add all the targets to $(targets) variable, so they'll be properly
   accounted by Kbuild. This also allows to remove redundant
   $(clean-files) (which were missing uzImage BTW).
3. Prefix all targets with $(obj)/$(objtree), depending on their
   locations.

Misc: fix the identation of the 'STRIP' quiet message.

MIPS: zboot: put appended dtb into a section

2020-11-06T10:28:16+00:00

This will make a separated section for dtb appear in ELF, and we can
then use objcopy to patch a dtb into vmlinuz when RAW_APPENDED_DTB
is set in kernel config.

command to patch a dtb:
objcopy --set-section-flags=.appended_dtb=alloc,contents \
        --update-section=.appended_dtb=.dtb vmlinuz

MIPS: Loongson-3: Enable COP2 usage in kernel

2020-09-21T20:15:03+00:00

Loongson-3's COP2 is Multi-Media coprocessor, it is disabled in kernel
mode by default. However, gslq/gssq (16-bytes load/store instructions)
overrides the instruction format of lwc2/swc2. If we wan't to use gslq/
gssq for optimization in kernel, we should enable COP2 usage in kernel.

Please pay attention that in this patch we only enable COP2 in kernel,
which means it will lose ST0_CU2 when a process go to user space (try
to use COP2 in user space will trigger an exception and then grab COP2,
which is similar to FPU). And as a result, we need to modify the context
switching code because the new scheduled process doesn't contain ST0_CU2
in its THERAD_STATUS probably.

For zboot, we disable gslq/gssq be generated by toolchain.

MIPS: Add support for ZSTD-compressed kernels

2020-09-03T08:13:24+00:00

Add support for self-extracting kernels with a ZSTD compression.

Tested on a kernel for the GCW-Zero, it allows to reduce the size of the
kernel file from 4.1 MiB with gzip to 3.5 MiB with ZSTD, and boots just
as fast.

Compressed kernels are now also compiled with -D__DISABLE_EXPORTS in
order to disable the EXPORT_SYMBOL() macros inside of
lib/zstd/decompress.c.

MIPS: Truncate link address into 32bit for 32bit kernel

2020-05-07T08:31:01+00:00

LLD failed to link vmlinux with 64bit load address for 32bit ELF
while bfd will strip 64bit address into 32bit silently.
To fix LLD build, we should truncate load address provided by platform
into 32bit for 32bit kernel.

kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y

2020-02-03T16:53:07+00:00

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

This commit renames like follows:

  always       ->  always-y
  hostprogs-y  ->  hostprogs

So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

  always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
  always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
      ...
  hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.
