Impact: Resolves build failures in some configurations Makes it possible to disable CONFIG_RD_GZIP . In that case, the built-in initramfs will be compressed by whatever compressor is available (bzip2 or lzma) or left uncompressed if none is available. It also removes a couple of warnings which occur when no ramdisk compression at all is chosen. It also restores the select ZLIB_INFLATE in drivers/block/Kconfig which somehow came missing. This is needed to activate compilation of the stuff in zlib_deflate. Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

initramfs_data includes the compressed binary that is the
|
|
filesystem used for early user space.
|
|
Note: Older versions of "as" (prior to binutils 2.11.90.0.23
|
|
released on 2001-07-14) dit not support .incbin.
|
|
If you are forced to use older binutils than that then the
|
|
following trick can be applied to create the resulting binary:
|
|
|
|
|
|
ld -m elf_i386 --format binary --oformat elf32-i386 -r \
|
|
-T initramfs_data.scr initramfs_data.cpio.gz -o initramfs_data.o
|
|
ld -m elf_i386 -r -o built-in.o initramfs_data.o
|
|
|
|
initramfs_data.scr looks like this:
|
|
SECTIONS
|
|
{
|
|
.init.ramfs : { *(.data) }
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The above example is for i386 - the parameters vary from architectures.
|
|
Eventually look up LDFLAGS_BLOB in an older version of the
|
|
arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile to see the flags used before .incbin was introduced.
|
|
|
|
Using .incbin has the advantage over ld that the correct flags are set
|
|
in the ELF header, as required by certain architectures.
