On some PAE architectures, the entire range of physical memory could reside outside the 32-bit limit. These systems need the ability to specify the initrd location using 64-bit numbers. This patch globally modifies the early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch() function to use 64-bit numbers instead of the current unsigned long. There has been quite a bit of debate about whether to use u64 or phys_addr_t. It was concluded to stick to u64 to be consistent with rest of the device tree code. As summarized by Geert, "The address to load the initrd is decided by the bootloader/user and set at that point later in time. The dtb should not be tied to the kernel you are booting" More details on the discussion can be found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/20/690 https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/13/544 Signed-off-by: Santosh Shilimkar <santosh.shilimkar@ti.com> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Acked-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Acked-by: Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD <plagnioj@jcrosoft.com> Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@linaro.org> |

OpenRISC Linux
==============
This is a port of Linux to the OpenRISC class of microprocessors; the initial
target architecture, specifically, is the 32-bit OpenRISC 1000 family (or1k).
For information about OpenRISC processors and ongoing development:
website http://openrisc.net
For more information about Linux on OpenRISC, please contact South Pole AB.

Build instructions for OpenRISC toolchain and Linux
===================================================
In order to build and run Linux for OpenRISC, you'll need at least a basic
toolchain and, perhaps, the architectural simulator. Steps to get these bits
in place are outlined here.
1) The toolchain can be obtained from openrisc.net. Instructions for building
a toolchain can be found at:
http://openrisc.net/toolchain-build.html
2) or1ksim (optional)
or1ksim is the architectural simulator which will allow you to actually run
your OpenRISC Linux kernel if you don't have an OpenRISC processor at hand.
git clone git://openrisc.net/jonas/or1ksim-svn
cd or1ksim
./configure --prefix=$OPENRISC_PREFIX
make
make install
3) Linux kernel
Build the kernel as usual
make ARCH=openrisc defconfig
make ARCH=openrisc
4) Run in architectural simulator
Grab the or1ksim platform configuration file (from the or1ksim source) and
together with your freshly built vmlinux, run your kernel with the following
incantation:
sim -f arch/openrisc/or1ksim.cfg vmlinux
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminology
===========
In the code, the following particles are used on symbols to limit the scope
to more or less specific processor implementations:
openrisc: the OpenRISC class of processors
or1k: the OpenRISC 1000 family of processors
or1200: the OpenRISC 1200 processor
