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.

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.

Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Correct a comment in arch/i386/boot/build/tools.c; we now build the kernel from only two components instead of three, since the boot sector has been integrated in the setup code. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

This patch hooks the new x86 setup code into the Makefile machinery. It also adapts boot/tools/build.c to a two-file (as opposed to three-file) universe, and simplifies it substantially. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
