[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH v3 2/3] xen/ppc: Relocate kernel to physical address 0 on boot
Introduce a small assembly loop in `start` to copy the kernel to
physical address 0 before continuing. This ensures that the physical
address lines up with XEN_VIRT_START (0xc000000000000000) and allows us
to identity map the kernel when the MMU is set up in the next patch.
We are also able to start execution at XEN_VIRT_START after the copy
since hardware will ignore the top 4 address bits when operating in Real
Mode (MMU off).
Signed-off-by: Shawn Anastasio <sanastasio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v3: no changes.
v2:
- Fix definition of XEN_VIRT_START macro which incorrectly used
_AT instead of _AC.
- Use _start instead of start as symbol referring to beginning of
Xen binary
