* MIPS: Add support for vmlinuz.bin appended dtbJonas Gorski2015-06-211-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for detecting a vmlinuz.bin appended dtb and overriding the boot arguments to match the UHI interface. To ensure _edata / __apendend_dtb points to the actual end of the binary, align the data section to 16 bytes instead of the address cursor. Due to ld.script not going through the preprocessor, we can't check for MIPS_ZBOOT_APPENDED_DTB being enabled, so always reserve space for it. It should have no consequences for booting without it enabled except 1 MiB more ram usage during the uncompressing stage.

* MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.Ralf Baechle2013-02-011-2/+2

* MIPS: Add support for GZIP / BZIP2 / LZMA compressed kernel imagesWu Zhangjin2009-12-171-0/+56
This patch helps to generate smaller kernel images for linux-MIPS, Here is the effect when using lzma: $ ls -sh vmlinux 7.1M vmlinux $ ls -sh vmlinuz 1.5M vmlinuz Have tested the 32bit kernel on Qemu/Malta and 64bit kernel on FuLoong Mini PC. both of them work well. and also, tested by Alexander Clouter on an AR7 based Linksys WAG54Gv2, and by Manuel Lauss on an Alchemy board. This -v2 version incorporate the feedback from Ralf, and add the following changes: 1. add .ecoff, .bin, .erec format support 2. only enable it and the debug source code for the machines we tested 3. a dozen of fixups and cleanups and if you want to enable it for your board, please try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT for it, and if the board have an 16550 compatible uart, you can select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 directly. and then sending the relative patches to Ralf.
