[PATCH v2 06/11] MIPS: Call relocate_kernel if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

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

 



If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled, call relocate_kernel.

This function will return the entry point of the relocated kernel if
copy/relocate is sucessful or the original entry point if not. The stack
pointer must then be pointed into the new image.
