* kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for new syscallVivek Goyal2014-08-301-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards. Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while. I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches. Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that. For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to "depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not recursive. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: H.

* purgatory: core purgatory functionalityVivek Goyal2014-08-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code. This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make progress only if checsums are verified. This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

* x86, realmode: realmode.bin infrastructureJarkko Sakkinen2012-05-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create realmode.bin and realmode.relocs files. Piggy pack them into relocatable object that will be included into .init.data section of the main kernel image. The first file includes binary image of the real-mode code. The latter file includes all relocations. The layout of the binary image is specified in realmode.lds.S. The makefile generates pa_ prefixed symbols for each exported global. These are used in 32-bit code and in realmode header to define symbols that need to be relocated.

* net: filter: Just In Time compiler for x86-64Eric Dumazet2011-04-281-0/+1

* x86: Add platform directoryThomas Gleixner2010-10-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | x86 has finally arrived in the embedded nightmare and will rapidly grow SoC platform support in various flavours. So we need a place for the platform support files. That also allows us to clean up the dumpground which arch/x86/kernel has become over time. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
