8a8944aab2 [POWERPC] ps3: add a default zImage target
Add a powerpc make target that can be loaded by the ps3 bootloader (kboot) and
set this as the default image to build for that platform.

Until the compressed zImage wrapper is made, this arranges for a stripped
vmlinux image to be built.

4ec64d5686 [POWERPC] ps3: add a default zImage target
It's currently not possible to build the default zImage
target if PS3 is the only selected platform. This is
a hack to fall back to building the pseries style
zImage, so the build is successful. This will probably
change in the future, if someone writes a PS3 specific
boot wrapper.

35af89eb49 [POWERPC] Cleanup zImage handling of kernel entry with flat device tree
This makes 2 changes to clean up the flat device tree handling
logic in the zImage wrapper.

First, there were two callbacks from the dt_ops structure used for
producing a final flat tree to pass to the kerne: dt_ops.ft_pack()
which packed the flat tree (possibly a no-op) and dt_ops.ft_addr()
which retreived the address of the final blob.  Since they were only
ever called together, this patch combines the two into a single new
callback, dt_ops.finalize().  This new callback does whatever
platform-dependent things are necessary to produce a final flat device
tree blob, and returns the blob's addres.

Second, the current logic calls the kernel with a flat device tree if
one is build into the zImage wrapper, otherwise it boots the kernel
with a PROM pointer, expecting the kernel to copy the OF device tree
itself.  This approach precludes the possibility of the platform
wrapper code building a flat device tree from whatever
platform-specific information firmware provides.  Thus, this patch
takes the more sensible approach of invoking the kernel with a flat
tree if the dt_ops.finalize callback provides one (by whatever means).

So, the dt_ops.finalize callback can be NULL, or can be a function
which returns NULL.  In either case, the zImage wrapper logic assumes
that this is a platform with OF and invokes the kernel accordingly.

f79e083c2f [POWERPC] Small clarification of initrd handling
This patch makes the handling of the initrd (or initramfs) in the
zImage wrapper a little easier to follow.  Instead of passing the
initrd addresses out from prep_kernel() via the cryptic a1 and a2
parameters, use the global struct add_range, 'initrd'.  prep_kernel()
already passes information through the 'vmlinux' addr_range struct, so
this seems like a reasonable extension.

Some comments also clarify the logic with prep_kernel(): we use an
initrd included in the zImage if present, otherwise we use an initrd
passed in by the bootloader in the a1 and a2 parameters (yaboot, at
least, uses this mechanism to pass an initrd).

2bf118197c [POWERPC] Create a "wrapper" script and use it in arch/powerpc/boot
This puts the knowledge of how to create various sorts of zImage
wrappers into a script called "wrapper" that could be used outside of
the kernel tree.  This changes arch/powerpc/boot so it first builds
the files that the wrapper script needs, then runs it to create
whatever flavours of zImage are required.

This version does uImages as well.  The zImage names are changed
slightly; zImage.pseries is the one with the PT_NOTE program header
entry added, and zImage.pmac is the one without.  If the
zImage.pseries gets made, it will also get hardlinked to zImage;
otherwise, if zImage.pmac is made, it gets hardlinked to zImage.

611a15afcd POWERPC: Bring the fs_no calculation to the relevant SoC enumeration
The fs_no mean used to be fs_enet driver driven, hence it was an
enumeration across all the possible fs_enet "users" in the SoC. Now, with
QE on the pipeline, and to make DTS descriptions more clear, fs_no features
relevant SoC part number, with additional field to describe the SoC type.

Another reason for that is now not only fs_enet is going to utilize those
stuff. There might be UART, HLDC, and even USB, so to prevent confusion and
be ready for upcoming OF_device transfer, fs_enet and cpm_uart drivers were
updated in that concern, as well as the relevant DTS.

4f3865fb57 [PATCH] zlib_inflate: Upgrade library code to a recent version
Upgrade the zlib_inflate implementation in the kernel from a patched
version 1.1.3/4 to a patched 1.2.3.

The code in the kernel is about seven years old and I noticed that the
external zlib library's inflate performance was significantly faster (~50%)
than the code in the kernel on ARM (and faster again on x86_32).

For comparison the newer deflate code is 20% slower on ARM and 50% slower
on x86_32 but gives an approx 1% compression ratio improvement.  I don't
consider this to be an improvement for kernel use so have no plans to
change the zlib_deflate code.

Various changes have been made to the zlib code in the kernel, the most
significant being the extra functions/flush option used by ppp_deflate.
This update reimplements the features PPP needs to ensure it continues to
work.

This code has been tested on ARM under both JFFS2 (with zlib compression
enabled) and ppp_deflate and on x86_32.  JFFS2 sees an approx.  10% real
world file read speed improvement.

This patch also removes ZLIB_VERSION as it no longer has a correct value.
We don't need version checks anyway as the kernel's module handling will
take care of that for us.  This removal is also more in keeping with the
zlib author's wishes (http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq24) and I've
added something to the zlib.h header to note its a modified version.

30d8caf7c6 [POWERPC] Editable kernel command-line in zImage binary.
zImage will set /chosen/bootargs (if it is otherwise empty) with the
contents of a buffer in the section "__builtin_cmdline".  This permits
tools to edit zImage binaries to set the command-line eventually
processed by vmlinux.

eacb1962d4 [PATCH] powerpc: correct cacheflush loop in zImage
Correct the loop for cacheflush. No idea where I copied the code from,
but the original does not work correct. Maybe the flush is not needed.

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files

everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

b4e7de0f35 powerpc: Avoid unaligned loads and stores in boot memcpy code
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.

This adds code to build zImage.coff and/or zImage.initrd.coff when
CONFIG_PPC32 and CONFIG_PPC_PMAC are defined.  It also restructures
the OF client code and adds some workarounds for OF quirks on the
older machines.
