Subject: MIPS: Octeon: detect and fix byte swapped initramfs
|
||||
Origin: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/13219/
|
||||
|
||||
Octeon machines support running in little endian mode. U-Boot usually
|
||||
runs in big endian-mode. Therefore the initramfs is loaded in big endian
|
||||
mode, and the kernel later tries to access it in little endian mode.
|
||||
|
||||
This patch fixes that by detecting byte swapped initramfs using either the
|
||||
CPIO header or the header from standard compression methods, and
|
||||
byte swaps it if needed. It first checks that the header doesn't match
|
||||
in the native endianness to avoid false detections. It uses the kernel
|
||||
decompress library so that we don't have to maintain the list of magics
|
||||
if some decompression methods are added to the kernel.
