Subject: [PATCH 0/4] V3 Add ability to link device blob(s) into vmlinux

From: Dirk Brandewie <[email protected]>

This patch set adds the ability to link device tree blobs into
vmlinux.

Patch 1 implements the changes to include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h and
adds a generic rule for generating DTB objects to be linked vmlinux.

Patch 2 implements linking a DTB into an x86 image.

Patch 3-4 move {powerpc,microblaze}/boot/Makefile to use the dtc rule
in patch 1.

This patch set has been tested on x86.

Powerpc and Microblaze have been compile tested with and without patch
3 and 4 applied.

Changes from V1:

Documentation added for dtc command in Makefile.lib to
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
Separate DTB_ALIGNMENT define removed.
FORCE removed from dtc rule.
Removed hardcoded path to dts files from dtc command.
Moved %.dtb: %.dts rule to arch specific makefiles.

Patch for adding kernel command line option to pass in dtb_compat
string dropped from this set will be submitted seperately.

Changes from V2:

Rule to create assembly wrapper for blob changed to use Sam Ravnborgs
suggested implementation.

Rules in architecture specific Makefiles changed to use the cmd
function instead of the if_changed function.

Changes from V3:

Cosmetic fix of DTC quiet command

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux

From: Dirk Brandewie <[email protected]>

This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into
vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking
.dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt
driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location
before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image.

Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to
compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to
wrap the blobs for linking.

STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to
create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The
STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the
STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition.

The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob
with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob
to get the structure alignment GCC expects.

A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to
be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using
obj-y += foo.dtb.o

Hi,

you can add
Acked-by: Michal Marek <[email protected]>
but I thing this series should go through the tip tree, as your primary
target seems to be x86 and patch 2/4 depends on the ce4100 code that is
only in tip.

If the two lines

+# device tree blob
+obj-$(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_CE) += ce4100.dtb.o

are removed, patch 2/4 no longer depends on the ce4100 code.
The summary and description for that patch don't mention anything
about ce4100 anyway.
