      MIPS: Use the entry point from the ELF file header · 27c524d1
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      In order to fetch the correct entry point with the ISA bit included, for
      use by non-ELF boot loaders, parse the output of `objdump -f' for the
      start address recorded in the kernel executable itself, rather than
      using `nm' to get the value of the `kernel_entry' symbol.
      
      Sign-extend the address retrieved if 32-bit, so that execution is
      correctly started on 64-bit processors as well.  The tool always prints
      the entry point using either 8 or 16 hexadecimal digits, matching the
      address width (aka class) of the ELF file, even in the presence of
      leading zeros.

      MIPS: Expand help text to list generic defconfigs · cccd0b9a
      James Hogan authored
      Expand the MIPS Makefile help text to list generic board names, generic
      defconfigs, and legacy defconfigs which have been converted to generic
      and are still usable.
      
      Here's a snippet of the new "make ARCH=mips help" output:
        ...
        If you are targeting a system supported by generic kernels you may
        configure the kernel for a given architecture target like so:
      
        {micro32,32,64}{r1,r2,r6}{el,}_defconfig <BOARDS="list of boards">
      
        Where BOARDS is some subset of the following:
          boston
          ni169445
          ranchu
          sead-3
          xilfpga
      
        Specifically the following generic default configurations are
        supported:
      
        32r1_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r1
        32r1el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r1 little endian
        32r2_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r2
        32r2el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r2 little endian
        32r6_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r6
        32r6el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r6 little endian
        64r1_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r1
        64r1el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r1 little endian
        64r2_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r2
        64r2el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r2 little endian
        64r6_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r6
        64r6el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r6 little endian
        micro32r2_defconfig      - Build generic kernel for microMIPS32 r2
        micro32r2el_defconfig    - Build generic kernel for microMIPS32 r2 little endian
      
        The following legacy default configurations have been converted to
        generic and can still be used:
      
        sead3_defconfig          - Build 32r2el_defconfig BOARDS=sead-3
        sead3micro_defconfig     - Build micro32r2el_defconfig BOARDS=sead-3
        xilfpga_defconfig        - Build 32r2el_defconfig BOARDS=xilfpga
        ...
