Daniel Barlow	5dd0c6e3c0	rewrite preinit as very small C program By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we can bring the initramfs size to around 4k This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find out why gcc doesn't.	2023-04-15 18:27:39 +01:00

rewrite preinit as very small C program

By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we
can bring the initramfs size to around 4k

This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not
sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at
function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find
out why gcc doesn't.
