      x86, efi: Retain boot service code until after switching to virtual mode · 916f676f
      Matthew Garrett 提交于
      UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware"
      is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can
      do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before
      you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your
      ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another
      way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and
      we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the
      bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these
      runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual
      mode. So far so dreadful.
      
      The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do
      whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been
      called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has
      been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot
      services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and
      trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world,
      we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address
      space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it
      non-executable.
      
      This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes
      sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it
      discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones
      who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that
      someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.
      
      [ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
        hardware.  However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
        not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]

      [IA64] Convert ia64 to use int-ll64.h · e088a4ad
      Matthew Wilcox 提交于
      It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an
      unsigned long long on all architectures.  ia64 (in common with several
      other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long.  Migrating
      piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
      and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.
      
      Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long.  This
      is important as it affects C++ name mangling.

      kexec: add BSS to resource tree · 00bf4098
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in
      the resource tree.  The main reason behind this is to avoid crashkernel
      reservation in that area.
      
      While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the
      actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before),
      the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem
      just as Kernel data and Kernel code.
      
      Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
      efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and ia64).

      [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasing · 32e62c63
      Bjorn Helgaas 提交于
      This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
      
        - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
          they don't appear in the EFI memory map.  This keeps X from working
          on the Intel Tiger box.
      
        - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
          /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
          access.  This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
          boxes in the default configuration.
      
      There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
      adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
      a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
      mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
      
      Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
      according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
      map doesn't mention the region.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
