      x86, efi: Handover Protocol · 9ca8f72a
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      As things currently stand, traditional EFI boot loaders and the EFI
      boot stub are carrying essentially the same initialisation code
      required to setup an EFI machine for booting a kernel. There's really
      no need to have this code in two places and the hope is that, with
      this new protocol, initialisation and booting of the kernel can be
      left solely to the kernel's EFI boot stub. The responsibilities of the
      boot loader then become,
      
         o Loading the kernel image from boot media
      
      File system code still needs to be carried by boot loaders for the
      scenario where the kernel and initrd files reside on a file system
      that the EFI firmware doesn't natively understand, such as ext4, etc.
      
         o Providing a user interface
      
      Boot loaders still need to display any menus/interfaces, for example
      to allow the user to select from a list of kernels.
      
      Bump the boot protocol number because we added the 'handover_offset'
      field to indicate the location of the handover protocol entry point.

      x86: Add device tree support · da6b737b
      Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 提交于
      This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device
      tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at
      least boot protocol 2.09.
      
      Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered
      the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the
      code compile.
      
      The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather
      information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded
      otherwise. This includes things like 
         - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus?
         - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC?
         - where could my hpet be?

      x86, olpc: Add support for calling into OpenFirmware · fd699c76
      Andres Salomon 提交于
      Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW
      commands.  OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range
      0xff800000 - 0xffc00000.  A single page directory entry points to the
      pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page
      table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's
      page table.
      
      This is currently only used by the OLPC XO.  Note that this particular
      calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer
      x86 hardware.

      x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT boot support · 31625340
      Joseph Cihula 提交于
      This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
      Execution Technology (Intel TXT).
      
      Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
      Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
      provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.
      
      Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).
      
      Intel TXT in Brief:
      o  Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
      o  Data protection in case of improper shutdown
      o  Measurement and verification of launched environment
      
      Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
      non-vPro systems.  It is currently available on desktop systems based on
      the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
      dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
      Express chipsets.
      
      For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
      This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
      has been updated for the new released platforms.
      
      A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
      configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
      in this patch.
      
      This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
      documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
      and boot detection of a TXT launch.  Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
      will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
      properly.

      x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and version · 5031296c
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
      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.
      
      [ Impact: new feature to support more bootloaders ]

      x86: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
      format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
      
      The format:
      
      1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
      2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
         distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
      3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
         underscores.
