omap_uart_phys, omap_uart_virt and omap_uart_lsr reside in .data section and it's right implementation. But because of this, we cannot enable CONFIG_DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS. LL_DEBUG and DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS are very useful tools for debugging early boot stage when something goes wrong if you don't have any hardware based debugging tools like a JTAG debugger. This patch is to put the variables into .text section instead only when the DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE file is included in the kernel decompressor, which is only when ZIMAGE is defined. This patch does not change anything when DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE is included in the other kernel parts like arch/arm/kernel/* Signed-off-by: Hoeun Ryu <hoeun.ryu@xxxxxxxxx> --- * to mail to relevant recipients, no respond yet from them - TO=Tony Lindgren <tony@xxxxxxxxxxx> - CC=linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx * indentical to previous patch arch/arm/include/debug/omap2plus.S | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/arm/include/debug/omap2plus.S b/arch/arm/include/debug/omap2plus.S index 6d867ae..6ce6ef9 100644 --- a/arch/arm/include/debug/omap2plus.S +++ b/arch/arm/include/debug/omap2plus.S @@ -58,11 +58,22 @@ #define UART_OFFSET(addr) ((addr) & 0x00ffffff) +/* + * Definition of ZIMAGE is in arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile. + * Place the following block in .text section only when this file is + * included by arch/arm/boot/compressed/* to make it possible to + * enable CONFIG_DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS and DEBUG in arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S + * on OMAP2+ SoCs. + */ +#ifndef ZIMAGE .pushsection .data +#endif omap_uart_phys: .word 0 omap_uart_virt: .word 0 omap_uart_lsr: .word 0 +#ifndef ZIMAGE .popsection +#endif .macro addruart, rp, rv, tmp -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
