[PATCH RFC 5/7] i386: clean up bzImage generation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch cleans up image generation in several ways:
 - Firstly, it removes tools/build, and uses binutils to do all the
   final construction of the bzImage.  This removes a chunk of code
   and makes the image generation more flexible, since we can compute
   various numbers rather than be forced to use fixed constants.

 - Rename compressed/vmlinux to compressed/blob, to make it a
   bit clearer that it's the compressed kernel image + decompressor
   (now all the files named "vmlinux*" are directly derived from
   the kernel vmlinux).

 - Rather than using objcopy to wrap the compressed kernel into an
   object file, simply use the assembler: payload.S does a .incbin
   of the blob.bin file, which allows us to easily place
   it into a section, and it makes the Makefile dependency a little
   clearer.

 - Similarly, use the same technique to create compressed/piggy.o,
   which cleans things up even more, since the .S file can also
   set the input and output_size symbols without further linker
   script hackery; it also removes a complete linker script.
