2e50368bd2 rename config.outputs to config.system.outputs
New rules: everything under "config" that isn't actually configuration
(e.g. build products) will in future live in config.system. This is
the first step.

b6e72504d6 ipv6 default route
needs to specify the ppp0 *peer* address not the local address

447f068569 partly support getting IPv6 addresses
- gets interface id from ppp
- runs odhcpc to get RA and prefix delegation
- doesn't do anything useful with the data yet

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

4cfaed7303 specify root device as /dev/mtdblockn
the (openwrt?) magic that autodetects it based on mtd labels
won't work with a two-stage boot

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

2f3b108ef1 tftpboot: set phram erase block size to match hardware
this is needed for tftp boot with a jffs2 filesystem

2c4f8b823e remove jffs2boot target
It's not needed now initramfs is compiled into the kernel.

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.

b1a89ae8c3 jffs2: squash uids, enable lzo compression 2023-04-15 17:23:58 +01:00
Daniel Barlow
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

4638092d3d build initramfs into kernel
this doesn't matter for qemu, but there's no other way of
getting a hardware device to find it if the bootloader
won't co-operate

0687ae7f5c rename flashable->flashimage, o.squashfs to rootfs
"rootfs" describes what it is for, "squashfs" merely says
how it's implemented

(also, rootfs-as-jffs2 will soon be added)

Daniel Barlow
54a1ab3529 support jffs2, with initramfs
the jffs2 filesystem contains only /nix/store and a script which is
run in early init (initramfs) and is responsible for recreating
"traditional" directories (/bin /etc/**/* /var &c) based on the
configuration.

this is tested only in qemu so far and could use some cleanup

25d9da967c remove support for sockets in pseudofiles
(1) we can't make them on a real filesystem except by running
something that calls socket()
(2) whyever would we want to?

a5cfa37ed3 unify kernel command line handling
We now use MIPS_CMDLINE_DTB_EXTEND for all boot varieties
(tftpboot, flash boot, kexec) with the addition of
MIPS_BOOTLOADER_CMDLINE_REQUIRE_COOKIE - local patch -
so that the bootloader args are ignored unless they
contain the string "liminix"

4b19568f1b add kexecboot
This allows booting a new image from a running OS, creating a
phram mtd for the root squashfs

* enable CONFIG_KEXEC
* add modules/kexecboot
* patch kexec-tools to add --map-file option for the squashfs
* patch kernel kexec code to call new kernel with DTB

3c6ec354ce move root's home directory to /home/root
/ is a bad choice of home directory

/home/root instead of /root is to make it easier to write
ssh keys to the right place

d83bcc643e add wifi firmware, move things around in ram
* at the base address we were using, the filesystem was getting
corrupted presumably because the kernel unpacked into it

* leave a little more space between compressed kernel and
squashfs. this is probably ineffective but also harmless
