[PATCH] ARM: Fix bad SP address after relocating kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Otherwise cache_clean_flush can overwrite some of the relocated
area depending on where the kernel image gets loaded. This fixes
booting on n900 after commit 6d7d0ae51574943bf571d269da3243257a2d15db
(ARM: 6750/1: improvements to compressed/head.S).

Thanks to Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@xxxxxxxxx> for debugging
the address of the relocated area that gets corrupted, and to
Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@xxxxxxxxxx> for the other uncompress
related fixes.

I think this is the right fix.. And we don't want to mess with the
ZBOOT_ROM sp address, right?
