2014-09-24compiler_gcc: prevent redefining attributesJeroen Hofstee
The libc headers on FreeBSD and likely related projects as well contain an header file, cdefs.h which provides similiar functionality as linux/compiler.h. It provides compiler independent defines like __weak __packed, to allow compiling with multiple compilers which might have a different syntax for such extension. Since that header file is included in multiple standard headers, like stddef.h and stdarg.h, multiple definitions of those defines will be present if both are included. When compiling u-boot the compiler will warn about it hundreds of times since e.g. common.h will include both files indirectly. commit 7ea50d52849fe8ffa5b5b74c979b60b1045d6fc9 "compiler_gcc: do not redefine __gnu_attributes" prevented such redefinitions, but this was undone by commit fb8ffd7cfc68b3dc44e182356a207d784cb30b34 "compiler*.h: sync include/linux/compiler*.h with Linux 3.16". Add the checks back where necessary to prevent such warnings. As the original patch this checkpatch warning is ignored: "WARNING: Adding new packed members is to be done with care" Cc: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Cc: Tom Rini <trini@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Jeroen Hofstee <jeroen@myspectrum.nl> Acked-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com>
2014-09-16compiler*.h: sync include/linux/compiler*.h with Linux 3.16Masahiro Yamada
Copy them from Linux v3.16 tag. My main motivation of this commit is to add compiler-clang.h. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Cc: Jeroen Hofstee <jeroen@myspectrum.nl>
2013-09-06compiler_gcc: do not redefine __gnu_attributesJeroen Hofstee
gcc allows extensions to be non compiler specific by defining __* macros for the attributes supported by gcc. Having a different definition causes many warnings during the build (cdefs.h on FreeBSD uses __attribute((__pure__)) where u-boot uses __attribute__((pure)) for example). Do not redefine these macros to suppress these warnings. This patch ignores the checkpatch warning: WARNING: __packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed)) Signed-off-by: Jeroen Hofstee <jeroen@myspectrum.nl>
2010-05-06x86: Fix support for booting bzImageGraeme Russ
Add support for newer (up to 2.6.33) kernels Add zboot command which takes the address of a bzImage as its first argument and (optionally) the size of the bzImage as the second argument (the second argument is needed for older kernels which do not include the bzImage size in the header) Signed-off-by: Graeme Russ <graeme.russ@gmail.com>
