| 2006-01-14 | powerpc: Avoid unaligned loads and stores in boot memcpy code | Paul Mackerras | |
| The 601 processor will generate an alignment exception for accesses which cross a page boundary. In the boot wrapper code, OF is still handling all exceptions, and it doesn't have an alignment exception handler that emulates the instruction and continues. This changes the memcpy and memmove routines in the boot wrapper to avoid doing unaligned accesses. If the source and destination are misaligned with respect to each other, we just copy one byte at a time. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> | |||
| 2005-11-16 | powerpc: Move ppc64 boot wrapper code over to arch/powerpc | Paul Mackerras | |
| This also extends the code to handle 32-bit ELF vmlinux files as well as 64-bit ones. This is sufficient for booting on new-world 32-bit powermacs (i.e. all recent machines). Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> | |||
