[RFC PATCH 07/10] arm64/efi: efistub: add support for booting a BE kernel

Ard Biesheuvel ard.biesheuvel at linaro.org
Mon Jul 21 08:16:22 PDT 2014


This adds support to boot a big endian kernel from UEFI firmware, which is
always little endian. The EFI stub itself is built as little endian, and
embedded into a big endian kernel image.

To enable this, we need to build all the stub's dependencies as little endian,
including FDT parsing code and string functions. This is accomplished by
building little endian versions of those support files and link them into
a static library which is used by the inner stub build.
