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

This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.

mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for
kernel decompression.  It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to
keep the code simpler.

The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is
increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64.

Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number.

With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few
percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel.

The kernel decompression code parses the ELF header and then copies
the segment to the corresponding destination.  Currently it uses slow
byte-copy code.  This patch makes it use the string copy operations
instead.

In the test the copy performance can be improved very significantly after using
the string copy operation mechanism.
        1. The copy time can be reduced from 150ms to 20ms on one Atom machine
	2. The copy time can be reduced about 80% on another machine
		The time is reduced from 7ms to 1.5ms when using 32-bit kernel.
		The time is reduced from 10ms to 2ms when using 64-bit kernel.

Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes
some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian.  Lets
#define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for
header files that are used in user space too.

In userspace the convention is that

  1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined,
  2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

The code for setting standard VGA modes probes for the current mode,
and skips the mode setting if the mode is 3 (color text 80x25) or 7
(mono text 80x25).  Unfortunately, there are BIOSes, including the
VMware BIOS, which report the previous mode if function 0F is queried
while the screen is in a VESA mode, and of course, nothing can help a
mode poked directly into the hardware.

As such, the safe option is to set the mode anyway, and only query to
see if we should be using mode 7 rather than mode 3.  People who don't
want any mode setting at all should probably use vga=0x0f04
(VIDEO_CURRENT_MODE).  It's possible that should be the kernel
default.

When we restore the screen content after a mode change, we return the
cursor to its former position.  However, we need to also update
boot_params.screen_info accordingly, so that the decompression code
knows where on the screen the cursor is.  Just in case the video BIOS
does something extra screwy, read the cursor position back from the
BIOS instead of relying on it doing the right thing.

While we're at it, make sure we cap the cursor position to the new
screen coordinates.

Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
default to -march=i686.  This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
generation of CMOV instructions.

There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols
which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as
absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script,
which currently applies to _end.

Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty
section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections
completely.

This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions
instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns.

This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the
relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this 	is
basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have
thus been well tested.

Rather than having X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES and X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT
(with inconsistent defaults), just having the latter suffices as
the former can be easily calculated from it.

To be consistent, also change X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES to
X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, and set it to 7 (128 bytes) for NUMA
to account for last level cache line size (which here matters
more than L1 cache line size).

Finally, make sure the default value for X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT,
when X86_GENERIC is selected, is being seen before that for the
individual CPU model options (other than on x86-64, where

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:

  0f8e2d62
  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.
