648ac2eb7f Document jffs2, min-copy-closure, liminix-rebuild 
Some of the code is now out of date w.r.t. some of the text

b0a0fdcfcc add "standard" module, which includes flashimage kexec & jffs2 
most systems need most of these, so it makes writing the docs a
lot easier

888a0d5f74 mips-vm: allow env var to override la network interface 
this is handy if you want to connect to it from the host

4cfaed7303 specify root device as /dev/mtdblockn 
the (openwrt?) magic that autodetects it based on mtd labels

6d6dbe1cbb tftpboot: allow padding image with freeSpaceBytes 
this is useful for writable filesystems so that there's more than
an erase block of space to write into

3595e36294 workaround for huge musl binaries 
something in our configuration is causing gcc to generate binaries
in excess of 68K for "hello world". hardeningDisable seems to stop it
doing that, turning it on for s6 which writes _lots_ of binaries
but would be good to get to the bottom of this

65dfbad365 systemconfig: chown files if uid/gid > 0 2023-04-15 22:53:28 +01:00
Daniel Barlow
5dd0c6e3c0 rewrite preinit as very small C program 
By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we
can bring the initramfs size to around 4k

This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not
sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at
function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find
out why gcc doesn't.

1cc0b13b57 rewrite systemconfig in C and link statically 
systemconfig (a.k.a "activate") is run from the initramfs. Converting
it from a shell script to an executable means it doesn't depend on
there being a shell in the initramfs

c744ef8c17 systemconfig: accept uid and gid options 
all we do with them is assert they're zero, to unbreak CI.
This code is getting rewritten anyway

this doesn't matter for qemu, but there's no other way of
getting a hardware device to find it if the bootloader
