initramfs_data includes the compressed binary that is the |
|---|
| 3 |
filesystem used for early user space. |
|---|
| 4 |
Note: Older versions of "as" (prior to binutils 2.11.90.0.23 |
|---|
| 5 |
released on 2001-07-14) dit not support .incbin. |
|---|
| 6 |
If you are forced to use older binutils than that then the |
|---|
| 7 |
following trick can be applied to create the resulting binary: |
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 |
ld -m elf_i386 --format binary --oformat elf32-i386 -r \ |
|---|
| 11 |
-T initramfs_data.scr initramfs_data.cpio.gz -o initramfs_data.o |
|---|
| 12 |
ld -m elf_i386 -r -o built-in.o initramfs_data.o |
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 |
initramfs_data.scr looks like this: |
|---|
| 15 |
SECTIONS |
|---|
| 16 |
{ |
|---|
| 17 |
.init.ramfs : { *(.data) } |
|---|
| 18 |
} |
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 |
The above example is for i386 - the parameters vary from architectures. |
|---|
| 21 |
Eventually look up LDFLAGS_BLOB in an older version of the |
|---|
| 22 |
arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile to see the flags used before .incbin was introduced. |
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 |
Using .incbin has the advantage over ld that the correct flags are set |
|---|
| 25 |
in the ELF header, as required by certain architectures. |
