parisc: use -fno-strict-aliasing for decompressor

2020-05-10T20:46:19+00:00

An experimental patch series of mine reworks how warnings are processed in Kbuild. A side effect is a new warning about a harmless aliasing rule violation in an inline function: In file included from include/linux/rhashtable-types.h:15:0, from include/linux/ipc.h:7, from include/uapi/linux/sem.h:5, from include/linux/sem.h:5, from include/linux/sched.h:15, from include/linux/uaccess.h:6, from arch/parisc/boot/compressed/misc.c:7: include/linux/workqueue.h: In function 'work_static': include/linux/workqueue.h:212:2: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing] return *work_data_bits(work) & WORK_STRUCT_STATIC; Make the decompressor use -fno-strict-aliasing like the rest of the kernel for consistency, and to ensure this warning never makes it into a release.

parisc: Add archclean Makefile target

2019-08-01T12:20:55+00:00

Apparently we don't have an archclean target in our arch/parisc/Makefile, so files in there never get cleaned out by make mrproper. This, in turn means that the sizes.h file in arch/parisc/boot/compressed never gets removed and worse, when you transition to an O=build/parisc[64] build model it overrides the generated file. The upshot being my bzImage was building with a SZ_end that was too small. I fixed it by making mrproper clean everything.

parisc: Strip debug info from kernel before creating compressed vmlinuz

2019-08-01T12:17:53+00:00

Same as on x86-64, strip the .comment, .note and debug sections from the Linux kernel before creating the compressed image for the boot loader. Reported-by: James Bottomley Reported-by: Sven Schnelle Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.20+ Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Fix build of compressed kernel even with debug enabled

2019-08-01T12:17:53+00:00

With debug info enabled (CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y) the resulting vmlinux may get that huge that we need to increase the start addresss for the decompression text section otherwise one will face a linker error.

parisc: PA-Linux requires at least 32 MB RAM

2019-05-03T21:47:39+00:00

Even a 32-bit kernel requires at least 27 MB to decompress itself, so halt the system with a message if the system has less memory than 32 MB. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: Include compressed vmlinux file in vmlinuz boot kernel

2018-10-17T06:18:01+00:00

Change the parisc vmlinuz boot code to include and process the real compressed vmlinux.gz ELF file instead of a compressed memory dump. This brings parisc in sync on how it's done on x86_64. The benefit of this change is that, e.g. for debugging purposes, one can then extract the vmlinux file out of the vmlinuz which was booted which wasn't possible before. This can be archieved with the existing scripts/extract-vmlinux script, which just needs a small tweak to prefer to extract a compressed file before trying the existing given binary. The downside of this approach is that due to the extra round of decompression/ELF processing we need more physical memory installed to be able to boot a kernel. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller
