We currently use the PCI IO protocol as a proxy for a functional GOP. This is less than ideal, since some platforms will put the GOP on output devices rather than the GPU itself. Move to using the conout protocol. This is not guaranteed per-spec, but is part of the consplitter implementation that causes this problem in the first place and so should be reliable.

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. Cc: H.

Release v1.3.82 wrapped a few lines of code in an "#ifdef SAFE_RESET_DISK_CONTROLLER" and "#endif" pair. Since SAFE_RESET_DISK_CONTROLLER was never defined anywhere that was basically a verbose "#ifdef 0" and "#endif" pair. These dead lines have been in the tree for sixteen years but now the time has come to remove them. I guess the main lesson here is that if you want your dead code in the tree for a very long time you'd better be creative. A plain old "#ifdef 0" and "#endif" pair just doesn't cut it!

The method used to work out whether we were booted by EFI firmware or via a boot loader is broken. Because efi_main() is always executed when booting from a boot loader we will dereference invalid pointers either on the stack (CONFIG_X86_32) or contained in %rdx (CONFIG_X86_64) when searching for an EFI System Table signature. Instead of dereferencing these invalid system table pointers, add a new entry point that is only used when booting from EFI firmware, when we know the pointer arguments will be valid. With this change legacy boot loaders will no longer execute efi_main(), but will instead skip EFI stub initialisation completely.

This change modifes the PE .text section to start after the first sector of the kernel image. The header may be modified by the UEFI secure boot signing, so it is not appropriate for it to be included in one of the image sections. Since the sections are part of the secure boot hash, this modification to the .text section contents would invalidate the secure boot signed hash. Note: UEFI secure boot does hash the image header, but fields that are changed by the signing process are excluded from the hash calculation. This exclusion process is only handled for the image header, and not image sections. Luckily, we can still easily boot without the first sector by initializing a few fields in arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c.

This is a partial revert of commit: d40f8336 "Restrict CFLAGS for hostprogs" The endian-manipulation macros in tools/include need <linux/types.h>, but the hostprogs in arch/x86/boot need several headers from the kernel build tree, which means we have to add the kernel headers to the include path. This picks up <linux/types.h> from the kernel tree, which gives a warning. Since this use of <linux/types.h> is intentional, add -D__EXPORTED_HEADERS__ to the command line to silence the warning. A better way to fix this would be to always install the exported kernel headers into $(objtree)/usr/include as a standard part of the kernel build, but that is a lot more involved.

We may need to convert the endianness of the data we read from/write to 'buf', so let's use {get,put}_unaligned_le32() to do that. Failure to do so can result in accessing invalid memory, leading to a segfault. Stephen Rothwell noticed this bug while cross-building an x86_64 allmodconfig kernel on PowerPC. We need to read from and write to 'buf' a byte at a time otherwise it's possible we'll perform an unaligned access, which can lead to bus errors when cross-building an x86 kernel on risc architectures.

There is currently a large divide between kernel development and the development of EFI boot loaders. The idea behind this patch is to give the kernel developers full control over the EFI boot process. As H. Peter Anvin put it, "The 'kernel carries its own stub' approach been very successful in dealing with BIOS, and would make a lot of sense to me for EFI as well." This patch introduces an EFI boot stub that allows an x86 bzImage to be loaded and executed by EFI firmware. The bzImage appears to the firmware as an EFI application. Luckily there are enough free bits within the bzImage header so that it can masquerade as an EFI application, thereby coercing the EFI firmware into loading it and jumping to its entry point. The beauty of this masquerading approach is that both BIOS and EFI boot loaders can still load and run the same bzImage, thereby allowing a single kernel image to work in any boot environment. The EFI boot stub supports multiple initrds, but they must exist on the same partition as the bzImage. Command-line arguments for the kernel can be appended after the bzImage name when run from the EFI shell, e.g. Shell> bzImage console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sdb initrd=initrd.img v7: - Fix checkpatch warnings. v6: - Try to allocate initrd memory just below hdr->inird_addr_max. v5: - load_options_size is UTF-16, which needs dividing by 2 to convert to the corresponding ASCII size. v4: - Don't read more than image->load_options_size v3: - Fix following warnings when compiling CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c: In function ‘main’: arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:24: warning: unused variable ‘pe_header’ arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:15: warning: unused variable ‘file_sz’ - As reported by Matthew Garrett, some Apple machines have GOPs that don't have hardware attached. We need to weed these out by searching for ones that handle the PCIIO protocol. - Don't allocate memory if no initrds are on cmdline - Don't trust image->load_options_size Maarten Lankhorst noted: - Don't strip first argument when booted from efibootmgr - Don't allocate too much memory for cmdline - Don't update cmdline_size, the kernel considers it read-only - Don't accept '\n' for initrd names v2: - File alignment was too large, was 8192 should be 512. Reported by Maarten Lankhorst on LKML. - Added UGA support for graphics - Use VIDEO_TYPE_EFI instead of hard-coded number. - Move linelength assignment until after we've assigned depth - Dynamically fill out AddressOfEntryPoint in tools/build.c - Don't use magic number for GDT/TSS stuff. Requested by Andi Kleen - The bzImage may need to be relocated as it may have been loaded at a high address address by the firmware. This was required to get my macbook booting because the firmware loaded it at 0x7cxxxxxx, which triggers this error in decompress_kernel(), if (heap > ((-__PAGE_OFFSET-(128<<20)-1) & 0x7fffffff)) error("Destination address too large"); Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Tested-by: NHenrik Rydberg <rydberg@euromail.se> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1321383097.2657.9.camel@mfleming-mobl1.ger.corp.intel.comSigned-off-by: NH.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: NPaul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: NJiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

This has been obsoleted by the root= commandline and the rdev utility for many, many years. People who still depend on this will surely have a copy of the rdev utility around, the rest of the world gets rid of another piece of buildhost-dependent data in the build. Thanks to Paul Bolle for the build.c cleanup.

When we use BIOS function e801 to probe memory, we should use ax/bx (or cx/dx) as a pair, not mix and match. This was a typo during the translation from assembly code, and breaks at least one set of machines in the field (which return cx = dx = 0).
