From 2bb9839e312ed55a6d5824ffa6077ce3d7d63b1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 22:38:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: introduce atag_offset to replace boot_params MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The boot_params member of the mdesc structure is used to provide a default physical address for the ATAG list. Since this value is fixed at compile time and sometimes based on constants such as ARCH_PHYS_OFFSET, it gets in the way of runtime PHYS_OFFSET and CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT usage. Let's introduce atag_offset which should contains only the relative offset from PHYS_OFFSET instead of an absolute value, in preparation to move all instance of boot_params over to it.
