This patchseries introduces a suitable way for loading ELF linux kernel images on MIPS. You can load normal vmlinux images or compressed self-extractable vmlinuz images. The patchseries and additional patch with pre-compiled demo vmlinuz image for MIPS Malta can be obtained here: https://github.com/frantony/barebox/tree/next.mips-malta-elf-linux.20140415 Linux kernel ELF images use KSEG1 ("cached") addresses, so this series adds elementary code for MIPS cache support. The code for actual ELF loading and relocation is imported from kexec-tools (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools) and linux kernel (http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git). There is no common standard on passing cmdline to the linux kernel on MIPS machines. We have to realize it's own cmdline passing routine for every MIPS machine supported by barebox. The 'MIPS: mach-malta: add kexec-capable reboot()' patch demonstrates how to do it for MIPS Malta. To separate common ELF handling routines and machine-specific cmdline handling the 'reboot()' call is introduced. The common code checks and loads ELF-file, the MIPS-specific code arrange ELF segments in the appropriate memory places and tunes relocator; next reboot() is called and machine-specific code works on cmdline passing.
