* Add SLOF-based partition firmware for pSeries machine, allowing more boot ↵David Gibson2011-04-011-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | options Currently, the emulated pSeries machine requires the use of the -kernel parameter in order to explicitly load a guest kernel. This means booting from the virtual disk, cdrom or network is not possible. This patch addresses this limitation by inserting a within-partition firmware image (derived from the "SLOF" free Open Firmware project). If -kernel is not specified, qemu will now load the SLOF image, which has access to the qemu boot device list through the device tree, and can boot from any of the usual virtual devices. In order to support the new firmware, an extension to the emulated machine/hypervisor is necessary. Unlike Linux, which expects multi-CPU entry to be handled kexec() style, the SLOF firmware expects only one CPU to be active at entry, and to use a hypervisor RTAS method to enable the other CPUs one by one. This patch also implements this 'start-cpu' method, so that SLOF can start the secondary CPUs and marshal them into the kexec() holding pattern ready for entry into the guest OS. Linux should, and in the future might directly use the start-cpu method to enable initially disabled CPUs, but for now it does require kexec() entry.

* Switch pc bios from pc-bios to seabiosAnthony Liguori2009-10-301-3/+0
| | | | | | | | SeaBIOS is a port of pc-bios to GCC. Besides using a more modern tool chain, SeaBIOS introduces a number of new features including PMM support, better BEV and BCV support, and better PnP support. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
* Bring pcbios, seabios, and vgabios into the tree as git submodules. Right now,Anthony Liguori2009-09-041-0/+9
they aren't integrated into the build but we can do that incrementally. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
