2020-01-04Documentation: riscv: add patch acceptance guidelinesPaul Walmsley2-0/+36
Formalize, in kernel documentation, the patch acceptance policy for arch/riscv. In summary, it states that as maintainers, we plan to only accept patches for new modules or extensions that have been frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation. We've been following these guidelines for the past few months. In the meantime, we've received quite a bit of feedback that it would be helpful to have these guidelines formally documented. Based on a suggestion from Matthew Wilcox, we also add a link to this file to Documentation/process/index.rst, to make this document easier to find. The format of this document has also been changed to align to the format outlined in the maintainer entry profiles, in accordance with comments from Jon Corbet and Dan Williams.

2019-09-13riscv: modify the Image header to improve compatibility with the ARM64 headerPaul Walmsley1-6/+7
Part of the intention during the definition of the RISC-V kernel image header was to lay the groundwork for a future merge with the ARM64 image header. One error during my original review was not noticing that the RISC-V header's "magic" field was at a different size and position than the ARM64's "magic" field. If the existing ARM64 Image header parsing code were to attempt to parse an existing RISC-V kernel image header format, it would see a magic number 0. This is undesirable, since it's our intention to align as closely as possible with the ARM64 header format. Another problem was that the original "res3" field was not being initialized correctly to zero. Address these issues by creating a 32-bit "magic2" field in the RISC-V header which matches the ARM64 "magic" field. RISC-V binaries will store "RSC\x05" in this field. The intention is that the use of the existing 64-bit "magic" field in the RISC-V header will be deprecated over time. Increment the minor version number of the file format to indicate this change, and update the documentation accordingly. Fix the assembler directives in head.S to ensure that reserved fields are properly zero-initialized.

2019-07-11RISC-V: Add an Image header that boot loader can parse.Atish Patra1-0/+50
Currently, the last stage boot loaders such as U-Boot can accept only uImage which is an unnecessary additional step in automating boot process. Add an image header that boot loader understands and boot Linux from flat Image directly. This header is based on ARM64 boot image header and provides an opportunity to combine both ARM64 & RISC-V image headers in future. Also make sure that PE/COFF header can co-exist in the same image so that EFI stub can be supported for RISC-V in future. EFI specification needs PE/COFF image header in the beginning of the kernel image in order to load it as an EFI application. In order to support EFI stub, code0 should be replaced with "MZ" magic string and res4(at offset 0x3c) should point to the rest of the PE/COFF header (which will be added during EFI support). Tested on both QEMU and HiFive Unleashed using OpenSBI + U-Boot + Linux.

The conversion here is trivial: - Adjust the document title's markup - Do some whitespace alignment; - mark literal blocks; - Use ReST way to markup indented lists. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
