The empty line at the end results in a whitespace message from git.

Dropped, thanks. Is there anything else or is this patchset starting to
become acceptable ?


Hard for me to say. I tried to build and run the series with the latest
linux
kernel (v4.9-rc4), but it is stuck in early boot. I tried with
10m50_defconfig
and 10m50_devboard.dtb. gcc is 6.1.0 built with buildroot, though I also
tried
with toolchains from CodeSourcery. Obviously I have no idea if there
is a
kernel bug or a qemu bug or a problem with the command line I used.

Here is my command line:

qemu-system-nios2 -M 10m50-ghrd -kernel vmlinux -dtb
10m50_devboard.dtb \
    -append "earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x18001600,115200n8 console=ttyS0"

This may be wrong, but the boot is stuck in an endless loop in
mark_bootmem(),
which seems early and odd. I tried with both vmlinux and
arch/nios2/boot/vmImage,
with the same results.

Can you provide a working command line and kernel version, and/or
directions how
to create a working image if I need to run the image, for example, from
u-boot ?
Sorry if that is posted somewhere and I missed it.

I guess Romain gave you something since I see you made some progress.
I'll have to look into that fdt loader issue.


Yes, WFM after

This is my command line, running your patch series plus the above fixup
on top of
the qemu master branch:

Uhm, how could that patch fix the DT passing for you ? I am still
looking into the DT passing, that's quite odd.

This patch makes the DT passing work for me, but I cannot put my finger
on why. It moves the DT a bit further in memory, that's all.

That doesn't work for me, and I would be quite surprised if it would. The initrd
addresses are still wrong, still causing the kernel to hang.

It does appear to work if I don't pass the -initrd argument, but that misses
the point. I just checked, it is the -initrd argument that makes it hang
in the first place, not the -dtb argument. Sorry if that created confusion
earlier.

Thanks,
Guenter
