Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:44:31 -0700 From: David Brown <davidb@...eaurora.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org Cc: David Brown <davidb@...cinc.com>, Russell King <linux@....linux.org.uk>, Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@....com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] ARM: allow empty ATAG_CORE From: David Brown <davidb@...cinc.com> The ATAG_CORE is allowed to be empty. Although this is handled by parse_tag_core(), __vet_atags during startup rejects this tag unless it contains data. Allow the initial tag to be either the full size, or empty. Signed-off-by: David Brown <davidb@...cinc.com> --- Currently, some configurations of the Android bootloader use an empty ATAG_CORE. arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S | 4 +++- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S b/arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S index 93ad576..1e8f0d6 100644 --- a/arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S +++ b/arch/arm/kernel/head-common.S @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ #define ATAG_CORE 0x54410001 #define ATAG_CORE_SIZE ((2*4 + 3*4) >> 2) +#define ATAG_CORE_SIZE_EMPTY ((2*4 + 3*4) >> 2) .align 2 .type __switch_data, %object @@ -251,7 +252,8 @@ __vet_atags: bne 1f ldr r5, [r2, #0] @ is first tag ATAG_CORE? - subs r5, r5, #ATAG_CORE_SIZE + cmp r5, #ATAG_CORE_SIZE + cmpne r5, #ATAG_CORE_SIZE_EMPTY bne 1f ldr r5, [r2, #4] ldr r6, =ATAG_CORE -- 1.6.2.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
