[PATCH v2 1/4] Support for building in a Xen binary

Andre Przywara andre.przywara at arm.com
Tue Nov 22 07:09:14 PST 2016


From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall at linaro.org>

Add support for building a Xen binary which includes a Dom0 image and
the Dom0 command-line.

If the user specifies --with-xen=<Xen>, where Xen is an appropriate
AArch64 Xen binary, the build system will generate a xen-system.axf
instead of a linux-system.axf.

Original patch from Ian Campbell, but I modified most of it so all bugs
are probably mine.
[Andre: adapt to newest boot-wrapper branch, increase load address,
	fixup Xen image file test]
