The support was for this was mainlined 13 years ago, in v2.6.25
[0e0fffe887] just around the ppc --> powerpc migration.
I believe the board was introduced a year or two before that, so it
is roughly a 15 year old platform - with the CPU speed and memory size
that was typical for that era.
I haven't had one of these boards for several years, and availability
was discontinued several years before that.
Given that, there is no point in adding a burden to testing coverage
that builds all possible defconfigs, so it makes sense to remove it.
Of course it will remain in the git history forever, for anyone who
happens to find a functional board and wants to tinker with it.

LANG gives a weak default to each LC_* in case it is not explicitly
defined. LC_ALL, if set, overrides all other LC_* variables.
LANG < LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, ... < LC_ALL
This is why documentation such as [1] suggests to set LC_ALL in build
scripts to get the deterministic result.
LANG=C is not strong enough to override LC_* that may be set by end
users.

This adds support to the wrapper script for adding that blob via the "-e"

It also adds code to the zImage wrapper itself to retrieve and if necessary
relocate the blob, and pass its address to Linux via the device-tree, to be

stat(1) is not standardized and different implementations have their own
(conflicting) flags for querying the size of a file.
ls(1) provides the same information (value of st.st_size) in the 5th
column, except when the file is a character or block device. This output
is standardized[0]. The -n option turns on -l, which writes lines
formatted like
"%s %u %s %s %u %s %s\n", <file mode>, <number of links>,
<owner name>, <group name>, <size>, <date and time>,
<pathname>
but instead of writing the <owner name> and <group name>, it writes the
numeric owner and group IDs (this avoids /etc/passwd and /etc/group
lookups as well as potential field splitting issues).
The <size> field is specified as "the value that would be returned for
the file in the st_size field of struct stat".
To avoid duplicating logic in several locations in the tree, create
scripts/file-size.sh and update callers to use that instead of stat(1).

The boot wrapper performs its own relocations and does not require
PT_INTERP segment. However currently we don't tell the linker that.
Prior to binutils 2.28 that works OK. But since binutils commit
1a9ccd70f9a7 ("Fix the linker so that it will not silently generate ELF
binaries with invalid program headers. Fix readelf to report such
invalid binaries.") binutils tries to create a program header segment
due to PT_INTERP, and the link fails because there is no space for it:
ld: arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pseries: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N
ld: final link failed: Bad value
So tell the linker not to do that, by passing --no-dynamic-linker.

This modifies the wrapper script so that the -Z option takes an argument
to specify the compression type. It can either be 'gz', 'xz' or 'none'.
The legazy --no-gzip and -z options are still supported and will set the
compression to none and gzip respectively, but they are not documented.
Only XZ -6 is used for compression rather than XZ -9. Using compression
levels higher than 6 requires the decompressor to build a large (64MB)
dictionary when decompressing and some environments cannot satisfy such
large allocations (e.g. POWER 6 LPAR partition firmware).

The wrapper code which uncompresses the kernel in case of a 'ppc' boot
is by default loaded at 0x00400000 and the kernel will be uncompressed
to fit the location 0-0x00400000. But with dynamic relocations, the size
of the kernel may exceed 0x00400000(4M). This would cause an overlap
of the uncompressed kernel and the boot wrapper, causing a failure in
boot.
The message looks like :
zImage starting: loaded at 0x00400000 (sp: 0x0065ffb0)
Allocating 0x5ce650 bytes for kernel ...
Insufficient memory for kernel at address 0! (_start=00400000, uncompressed size=00591a20)
This patch shifts the load address of the boot wrapper code to the next
higher MB, according to the size of the uncompressed vmlinux.
With the patch, we get the following message while building the image :

So I've had one of these for a while and it looks like the vendor never
bothered submitting the support upstream.
This adds it using ppc40x_simple and provides a device-tree.
There are some changes to the boot wrapper because the way u-boot works
on this thing, it seems to expect a multipart image with the kernel,
initrd and dtb in it.
The USB support is missing as it needs the yet unmerged driver for
the DWC OTG part and the GPIOs may need further definition in the dts.

by ePAPR.
This is a very simple bootwrapper, taking the device tree
blob supplied by the ePAPR boot program and passing it on
to the kernel. It builds on the earlier patch to build a
relocatable ET_DYN zImage to meet the other ePAPR image
requirements.
For good measure we have some paranoid checks which will

guarantees are not met.

This patch adds code, linker script and makefile support to allow
building the zImage wrapper around the kernel as a position independent
executable. This results in an ET_DYN instead of an ET_EXEC ELF output
file, which can be loaded at any location by the firmware and will
process its own relocations to work correctly at the loaded address.
This is of interest particularly since the standard ePAPR image format
must be an ET_DYN (although this patch alone is not sufficient to
produce a fully ePAPR compliant boot image).
Note for now we don't enable building with -pie for anything.

mkuboot.sh provides a basic wrapper for the 'mkimage' utility. Using
mkuboot.sh provides clearer error reporting and allows a toolchain to
use its own 'mkimage' executable specified by ${CROSS_COMPILE}mkimage.
Additionally, this brings PowerPC in line with other architectures
which already call mkimage via mkuboot.sh.

Some XPedite52xx boards have a legacy boot loader requiring some special
care in the boot wrapper. The use of cuboot-85xx is needed to fix
up embedded device trees, and a custom link address is specified to
accommodate the boot loader and larger kernel image sizes used on X-ES
MPC85xx platforms.

This adds the bootwrapper for the cuImage target and a compatible property
check for "pnpPNP,501" to the generic serial console support code.
The default link address for the cuImage target is set to 0x800000. This
allows to boot the kernel with AmigaOS4's second level bootloader, which
always loads a uImage at 0x500000.

This reverts commit 91a0030295, plus
commit 0dcd440120 ("powerpc: Revert CHRP
boot wrapper to real-base = 12MB on 32-bit") which depended on it.
Commit 91a00302 was causing NVRAM corruption on some pSeries machines,
for as-yet unknown reasons, so this reverts it until the cause is
identified.

Commit 9b09c6d909 ("powerpc: Change the
default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the
real-base value in the CHRP note added by addnote to the zImage from
12MB to 32MB. It turns out that this causes unnecessary extra reboots
on old 32-bit CHRP machines. This therefore adds a -r flag to addnote
to allow us to specify what real-base value it should put in the CHRP
note, and adjusts the wrapper script to pass -r c00000 to addnote when
making a zImage for a CHRP machine. Also, CHRP machines ignore the
RPA note, so we don't need to arrange for it to be the same as the
kernel's.

Commit 9b09c6d909 ("powerpc: Change the
default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the
real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from
12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage.
(The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in
memory.) However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries
machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me"
flag set to 1. This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA
note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note
(at least on most pSeries machines).
To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA
note. (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to
having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not
what we want.) However, then we have to make sure the values in the
zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies
later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support
call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities().
So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and
adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be
consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec.
However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't
ensure that the notes will stay consistent. To ensure that, this adds
code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from
the kernel binary and put that in the zImage. To that end, we put the
kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into
its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with
objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from
it and transfers it to the zImage.
