The following patch adds relocatable kernel support - based on processing
of dynamic relocations - for PPC44x kernel.
We find the runtime address of _stext and relocate ourselves based
on the following calculation.
virtual_base = ALIGN(KERNELBASE,256M) +
MODULO(_stext.run,256M)
relocate() is called with the Effective Virtual Base Address (as
shown below)
| Phys. Addr| Virt. Addr |
Page (256M) |------------------------|
Boundary | | |
| | |
| | |
Kernel Load |___________|_ __ _ _ _ _|<- Effective
Addr(_stext)| | ^ |Virt. Base Addr
| | | |
| | | |
| |reloc_offset|
| | | |
| | | |
| |______v_____|<-(KERNELBASE)%256M
| | |
| | |
| | |
Page(256M) |-----------|------------|
Boundary | | |
The virt_phys_offset is updated accordingly, i.e,
virt_phys_offset = effective. kernel virt base - kernstart_addr
I have tested the patches on 440x platforms only. However this should
work fine for PPC_47x also, as we only depend on the runtime address
and the current TLB XLAT entry for the startup code, which is available
in r25. I don't have access to a 47x board yet. So, it would be great if
somebody could test this on 47x.
