* x86: Document linker script ASSERT() quirkIngo Molnar2009-10-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Older binutils breaks if ASSERT() is used without a sink for the output. For example 2.14.90.0.6 is known to be broken, the link fails with: LD .tmp_vmlinux1 ld:arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:678: parse error Document this quirk in all three files that use it.

| * x86: convert compressed loader to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.Tim Abbott2009-09-183-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head code from ".text.head" to ".head.text". Linus suggested that we merge the ".text.head" section with ".text" (presumably while preserving the fact that the head code starts at 0). When I tried this it caused the kernel to not boot.

* | kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel scriptSam Ravnborg2009-09-201-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain, but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields. Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB extension. Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing (type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version number.

For reverse copy, do note that the initial values are supposed to be the address of the first (highest) copy datum, not one byte beyond the end of the buffer. rep strings are not necessarily the fastest way to perform these operations on all current processors, but are likely to be in the future, and perhaps more importantly, we want to encourage the architecturally right thing to do here.

There is no point in copying bss at all, especially since we are just about to zero it all anyway. To clean up and unify the handling, we now do: - copy from startup_32 to _bss. - zero from _bss to _ebss. - the _ebss symbol is aligned to an 8-byte boundary. - the page tables are moved to a separate section. Use _bss as the copy endpoint since _edata may be misaligned. [ Impact: cleanup, trivial performance improvement ] Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

So unify them. There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion. For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64", and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't do that. Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about "head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;) [ Impact: cleanup, unification ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* | / x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entriesTejun Heo2009-05-261-2/+5
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel. The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs. R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered error. When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section, binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail. The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right thing to do. The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

* | x86, setup: revert ACPI 3 E820 extended attributes supportH. Peter Anvin2009-05-221-16/+13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at 24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes. The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually needing the flags. This reverts all or part of the following checkins: cd670599b7b00d9263f6f11a05c0edeb9cbedaf3 c549e71d073a6e9a4847497344db28a784061455 However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a comment to explain that part. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some additional information.

* x86, setup: un-resequence mode setting for VGA 80x34 and 80x60 modesH. Peter Anvin2009-04-071-10/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Fixes these modes on at least one system The rewrite of the setup code into C resequenced the font setting and register reprogramming phases of configuring nonstandard VGA modes which use 480 scan lines in text mode. However, there exists at least one board (Micro-Star MS-7383 version 2.0) on which this resequencing causes an unusable display. Revert to the original sequencing: set up 480-line mode, install the font, and then adjust the vertical end register appropriately. This failure was masked by the fact that the 480-line setup was broken until checkin 5f641356127712fbdce0eee120e5ce115860c17f (therefore this is not a -stable candidate bug fix.)

Furthermore, there has been at least one report of a BIOS which assumes that the buffer it is pointed at is the same buffer as for the previous E820 call.
