[PATCH v2 0/4] Build openbios on powerpc64 host

[Laurent Vivier]

This series of patches allows to build openbios on a
powerpc64 host. It has been tested with the following targets:
ppc, sparc32, sparc64. It has also been tested on x86_64 host
with the same targets.

v2: remove patches 3/5 and 4/5 of the first series and replace it
    with patch 4/4. We don't include the system includes using
    full pathname but use '-iquote' intead of '-I'

A preliminary patch is needed for fcode-utils, as "toke" is
broken on big endian architecture:

[PATCH v2 1/4] switch-arch: factorize code to compute architecture properties.

[Laurent Vivier]

Put in two functions code that computes if given architecture
is big endian or not, and the size of long (32bit or 64bit).

[PATCH v2 3/4] switch-arch: as for powerpc64, select sparc64 compiler to compile sparc32

[Laurent Vivier]

As for powerpc64, only sparc64 compiler is available in the distro
(Fedora 22), so use it if is available.

The change is the same one as introduced for powerpc64.

[PATCH v2 4/4] bootstrap: don't include files from target/include as system includes.

[Laurent Vivier]

Replace "-I" by "-iquote" to only take files from this directory
when '#include "..."' is used ('#include <...>' works as
usual)

We need this because on powerpc64 asm/sigcontext.h includes <asm/elf.h> and
tries to include target/include/asm/elf.h instead of /usr/include/asm/elf.h

We also remove from include/arch/ppc/types/h some useless and conflicting
type definitions.

Shouldn't you give these other dirs the same treatment?

Hi Laurent,

I've done some tests here on both x86 and PPC hardware and the basic
patchset works well here. The only issue I found is that git-am
complains about whitespace errors during application - if you could
resubmit the series with this fixed, that would be great.

As for the toke fix, I don't know this code particularly well but I can
at least confirm that when applied it still produces valid binaries.
Could you send a separate patch in "git style" explaining what bug this
patch fixes, and if it looks good then I'll apply it too.


Many thanks,

Mark.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks a lot for this patchset. After re-applying on a fresh branch, the
whitespace errors were gone and everything still passed my local tests
so I've pushed the changes to SVN trunk.

This will definitely make testing OpenBIOS on PPC/KVM so much easier in
future :)


Many thanks,

Mark.
