[PATCH] ARM: /proc/atags: Export also for DT

From: Pali RohÃr
Date: Mon Jan 26 2015 - 14:17:06 EST


This patch will cause that decompressor store full ATAG structure into DT tree ("/atags"):

if (memcount) {
setprop(fdt, "/memory", "reg", mem_reg_property,
4 * memcount * memsize);



And this patch will export ATAG structure from DT tree ("/atags") into /proc/atags file:

}


Some userspace applications needs access to ATAG structure where can be stored some information passed
from bootloader to kernel. Example is Nokia N900 device and NOLO bootloader which provides information
about bootreason (device was started by power button or by alarm or restarted...) and bootmode (normal
mode or device update mode).
