DeviceTree Booting
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is one single 32bit entry point to the kernel at code32_start,
|
||
|
|
the decompressor (the real mode entry point goes to the same 32bit
|
||
|
|
entry point once it switched into protected mode). That entry point
|
||
|
|
supports one calling convention which is documented in
|
||
|
|
Documentation/x86/boot.rst
|
||
|
|
The physical pointer to the device-tree block is passed via setup_data
|
||
|
|
which requires at least boot protocol 2.09.
|
||
|
|
The type filed is defined as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#define SETUP_DTB 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This device-tree is used as an extension to the "boot page". As such it
|
||
|
|
does not parse / consider data which is already covered by the boot
|
||
|
|
page. This includes memory size, reserved ranges, command line arguments
|
||
|
|
or initrd address. It simply holds information which can not be retrieved
|
||
|
|
otherwise like interrupt routing or a list of devices behind an I2C bus.
