From 5c0aebf6e101e9ea6ddea7aaba13582c89206333 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 12:17:07 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Show utsname->machine in boot-up banner Currently we print "Starting Linux PPC64" at boot. But we don't mention anywhere whether the kernel is big or little endian. If we print the utsname->machine value instead we get either "ppc64" or "ppc64le" which is much more informative, eg: Starting Linux ppc64le #1 SMP Wed Apr 15 12:12:20 AEST 2015 Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman --- arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c index c69671c03c3b..9fe3dcdbfca7 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c @@ -523,7 +523,8 @@ void __init setup_system(void) smp_release_cpus(); #endif - pr_info("Starting Linux PPC64 %s\n", init_utsname()->version); + pr_info("Starting Linux %s %s\n", init_utsname()->machine, + init_utsname()->version); pr_info("-----------------------------------------------------\n"); pr_info("ppc64_pft_size = 0x%llx\n", ppc64_pft_size); -- 2.20.1
