Hello for all.
I try to run kexec on STi7100 processor. Unfortunately code from
kexec-tools-2.0.0-rc1.tar.gz is not working right.
I found in my kernel .config file:
#
# Memory management options
#
CONFIG_MMU=y
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x80000000
CONFIG_MEMORY_START=0x04400000
CONFIG_MEMORY_SIZE=0x02400000
CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y
CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y
# CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL is not set
# CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL is not set
CONFIG_FLATMEM=y
CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y
# CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_STATIC is not set
CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS=4
And I changed source code:
in kexec-sh.c file:
int get_memory_ranges(struct memory_range **range, int *ranges,
unsigned long kexec_flags)
{
int memory_ranges;
memory_ranges = 0;
memory_range[memory_ranges].start = 0x84400000;
memory_range[memory_ranges].end = 0x84640000;
memory_range[memory_ranges].type = RANGE_RAM;
memory_ranges++;
*range = memory_range;
*ranges = memory_ranges;
return 0;
}
unsigned long get_empty_zero(char *s)
{
char *env;
env = getenv("KEXEC_EMPTY_ZERO");
if(s)
{
env = s;
}
else if(!env)
{
env = "0x84400000";
}
return 0x8fffffff & strtoul(env,(char **)NULL,0);
}
In kexec-zImage-sh.c file:
int zImage_sh_load(int argc, char **argv, const char *buf, off_t len,
struct kexec_info *info)
{
char *command_line;
int opt;
unsigned long empty_zero, area;
unsigned char *param;
unsigned long *paraml;
static const struct option options[] = {
KEXEC_ARCH_OPTIONS
{0, 0, 0, 0},
};
static const char short_options[] = KEXEC_ARCH_OPT_STR "";
command_line = 0;
empty_zero = get_empty_zero(NULL);
while ((opt = getopt_long(argc, argv, short_options, options, 0)) != -1) {
switch (opt) {
default:
/* Ignore core options */
if (opt < OPT_ARCH_MAX) {
break;
}
case '?':
usage();
return -1;
case OPT_APPEND:
command_line = optarg;
break;
case OPT_EMPTYZERO:
empty_zero = get_empty_zero(optarg);
break;
}
}
param = xmalloc(0x1000);
memset(param, 0, 0x1000);
area=locate_hole(info,len+0x1000,0,0,ULONG_MAX,INT_MAX);
if (area == ULONG_MAX)
{
printf("Memory allocation error.");
}
//------------------
printf("Debug info.\n");
printf("Variable area --> 0x%08X\n", area);
printf("Variable empty_zero --> 0x%08X\n", empty_zero);
//------------------
if (!command_line) {
command_line = get_append();
}
strncpy(¶m[256], command_line, strlen(command_line));
paraml = (unsigned long *)param;
printf("cmdline --> %s <-- end of cmdline.\n", (char *)¶m[256]);
// paraml[0] = 1; // readonly flag is set as default
add_segment(info, param, 0x1000, area, 0x1000);
add_segment(info, buf, len, (area + 0x1000), len);
/* For now we don't have arguments to pass :( */
info->entry = (void *)(area + 0x1000 + 0x1000);
return 0;
}
I load new kernel in this way:
./kexec -l /tmp/usb/USB-Harddisk\ \(1-1\)/boot/zImage --type=zImage-sh
--append="console=ttyAS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 mem=40m
bigphysarea=1280 coprocessor_mem=2m at 0x04000000,2m at 0x04200000"
--mem-min=84000000
and execute:
./kexec -e
This is what I get on tellnet:
Debug info.
Variable area --> 0x84400000
Variable empty_zero --> 0x84400000
cmdline --> console=ttyAS0,115200 root=/dev/sdb1 mem=40m
bigphysarea=1280 coprocessor_mem=2m at 0x04000000,2m at 0x04200000 <-- end
of cmdline.
And on console:

I don't have any idea why it's reboot system instead run new kernel.
I will really thanks full for any help.
Szymon.
