From 68a1aed7039e5a94a8e60e23fdf676738c36086a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Magnus Damm Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 09:05:38 +0000 Subject: sh: boot kernel with SR.BL set Update the SH kernel to keep SR.BL set until the VBR register has been initialized. Useful to allow boot of the kernel even though exceptions are pending. Without this patch there is a window of time when exceptions such as NMI are enabled but no exception handlers are installed. This patch modifies both the zImage loader and the actual kernel to boot with BL=1, but the zImage loader is modfied in such a way that the init_sr value is unchanged to not break the zImage loader provided by kexec. Tested on sh7724 Ecovec and on the SH4AL-DSP core included in sh7372.
