From e2e085f8b8e638762c59b0bc5376b241b0046132 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Retanubun RichardRetanubun@RuggedCom.com Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:06:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Cleanup the comment for m68k linux boot argument passing.
Signed-off-by: Richard Retanubun RichardRetanubun@RuggedCom.com --- Hi Tsi-Chung,
Thanks for the response, I found the solution after using a hw debugger to step through the code. The one gotcha here is that the assembly instruction that the compiler uses to jump to the kernel is 'jsr' which puts the next instruction after the jsr into the stack pointer so there is an 'off-by-one' effect from the stack pointer.
This patch cleans up the comment to clarify the boot arg passing. I'll try to push a patch for the kernel as well.
Thanks for your time
