MIPS: Fix vmlinuz build for 32bit-only math shells
POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit. I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is 0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be: ---- alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' ffffffff94500000 alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))' 80000000003fffff ---- The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally. Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and dash: ---- $ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 $ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))' 94500000 ---- So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this: 1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix 2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a 32bit-only math shell is available. Patch Changelog: Version 2 - simplified method by using 'expr' for 'substr' and making it work with dash once again Version 1 - Revert the removals of '-n "$(VMLINUX_SIZE)"' to avoid the error of "make clean" - Consider more cases of the VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS Version 0 - initial release Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex@digriz.org.uk> Acked-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/861/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
