[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/4] arm64: Correct passing of Linux kernel args

[Tom Rini]

The Documentation/arm64/booting.txt document says that pass in x1/x2/x3
as 0 as they are reserved for future use.

[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/4] cmd_bootm.c: Add 'booti' for ARM64 Linux kernel Images

[Tom Rini]

The default format for arm64 Linux kernels is the "Image" format,
described in Documentation/arm64/booting.txt.  This, along with an
optional gzip compression on top is all that is generated by default.
The Image format has a magic number within the header for verification,
a text_offset where the Image must be run from, an image_size that
includes the BSS and reserved fields.

This does not support automatic detection of a gzip compressed image.

This should work for a defconfig, but it might be possible to build a
larger kernel. From experiments with an allyesconfig, I can build a
~60MB kernel with ~20MB of uninitialised data after the end of the
Image.

Modifying the Image feels a little dodgy, but I can't think of anything
this would break.

This should be le64_to_cpu(ih->text_offset) to be strictly correct.

I wouldn't imagine we'd ever have a text_offset larger than 4GB, but it
would be nice to keep things consistent with the documentation and
kernel code.

Nit: space between "kernel" and "requires"

Part of me just wants to error out in this case.  Today people are
wrapping vmlinux up with a legacy header and making uImages.  My hope is
that with this and 3.17 we can encourage Image/Image.*/FIT Image usage
instead.  We could just as easily whack in 128MB, all the same.

Yeah.  In my mind, an Image without this information is the corner case,
not the normal case.  Doing it this way (a fixup to the data) means we
don't have to error check this twice or play some other games.

Oh that's right, sixty-four bits is what we have...

Sure, it's unlikely that someone will build that big a (< v3.17) kernel
for reasons other than breaking things. I just thought I should mention
in case this crops up again.

Ok. As I said I can't think of anything this should break. This should
only affect older kernels so shouldn't be a problem going forward.

Prior to v3.17 you'll also find the text_offset field could be in an
arbitrary endianness, though should always have value 0x80000. So if you
want to boot BE (< v3.17) kernels you'd have to fix that up too. Post
v3.17 it's subject to randomization.

Cheers,
Mark.
