+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: BCM63XX: move kernel behind CFE
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+CFE will load itself to offset 4 MiB (or 6 MiB) in memory occupying a
|
|
|
+bit over one MiB. Traditionally the kernel will get linked to and loaded
|
|
|
+at offset 64k.
|
|
|
+This will pose a problem if the kernel size reaches 4 MiB - 64 kB, as
|
|
|
+CFE will start overwriting itself. This can easily happen by including a
|
|
|
+ramdisk image in the kernel.
|
|
|
+While for net-booted elf kernels this can be worked around by wrapping
|
|
|
+them in a lzma boot loader, on-flash images require the kernel to be
|
|
|
+lzma compressed. This would cause inefficient double compression.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Luckily we have full control over where the kernel will be extracted to
|
|
|
+and the entry point to be called, so move the kernel to behind CFE.
