Determine the compressed code offset (from the kernel runtime address) at compile time. This allows some minor optimizations in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_*.S, but more importantly it makes this value available to the build process, which will enable a future patch to export the necessary linear memory footprint into the bzImage header.

In the pre-decompression code, use the appropriate largest possible rep movs and rep stos to move code and clear bss, respectively. 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. This also fixes a couple of trivial inefficiencies on 64 bits. [ Impact: trivial performance enhancement, increase code similarity ] Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Set up the decompression stack as soon as we know where it needs to go. That way we have a full-service stack as soon as possible, rather than relying on the BP_scratch field. Note that the stack does need to be empty during bss zeroing (or else the stack needs to be moved out of the bss segment, which is also an option.)

Both on 32 and 64 bits, we copy all the way up to the end of bss, except that on 64 bits there is a hack to avoid copying on top of the page tables. 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: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Look at the: diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a "pgtable" thing. 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: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: NSam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

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 5f641356 (therefore this is not a -stable candidate bug fix.)

Impact: ACPI 3 spec compliance, BIOS bug workaround The ACPI 3 spec added another field to the E820 buffer -- which is backwards incompatible, since it contains a validity bit. 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. Therefore, read the data into a temporary buffer and copy the standard part of it if and only if the valid bit is set. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

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>

Impact: remove unused/broken code The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27, v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels. No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage. Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken. In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the build problems already known, needs serious and significant changes and probably a rewrite to support it. CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it. While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme, voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable fashion. So remove this inactive code for now. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When probing the keyboard controller to enable A20, if we get FF back (which is *possible* as a valid status word, but is extremely unlikely) then bail after much fewer iterations than we otherwise would, and abort the attempt to access the KBC. This hopefully should make it work a lot better for embedded platforms which don't have a KBC and where the BIOS doesn't implement INT 15h AX=2401h (and doesn't boot with A20 already enabled.) If this works, it will be the one remaining use of CONFIG_X86_ELAN as anything other than a processor type optimization option. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>

Impact: Replaces x86 kernel decompressor with new code This is the third part of the bzip2/lzma patch The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster than bzip2. It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two compressors. The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by the udpcast project This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28 This part contains: - support for new bzip2 and lzma kernel compression for x86 Signed-off-by: NAlain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: NH.
