Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to live above the 4 GiB mark. The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points are supported. Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness at least until the issue can be researched further. This is based on patches by Yinghai Lu and David Woodhouse.

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.

Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere.

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.

numa=fake=N specifies the number of fake nodes, N, to partition the system into and then allocates them by interleaving over physical nodes. This requires knowledge of the system capacity when attempting to allocate nodes of a certain size: either very large nodes to benchmark scalability of code that operates on individual nodes, or very small nodes to find bugs in the VM. This patch introduces numa=fake=<size>[MG] so it is possible to specify the size of each node to allocate. When used, nodes of the size specified will be allocated and interleaved over the set of physical nodes. FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE was also moved to the more-appropriate include/asm/numa_64.h.

This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT). Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms. Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT). Intel TXT in Brief: o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM) o Data protection in case of improper shutdown o Measurement and verification of launched environment Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45 Express chipsets. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/. This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which has been updated for the new released platforms. A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file in this patch. This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality, documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure, and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes properly.

This patch introduces three boot options (no_cmci, dont_log_ce and ignore_ce) to control handling for corrected errors. The "mce=no_cmci" boot option disables the CMCI feature. Since CMCI is a new feature so having boot controls to disable it will be a help if the hardware is misbehaving. The "mce=dont_log_ce" boot option disables logging for corrected errors. All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently. This option will be useful if you never care about corrected errors. The "mce=ignore_ce" boot option disables features for corrected errors, i.e. polling timer and cmci. All corrected events are not cleared and kept in bank MSRs. Usually this disablement is not recommended, however it will be a help if there are some conflict with the BIOS or hardware monitoring applications etc., that clears corrected events in banks instead of OS.

On Intel platforms machine check exceptions are always broadcast to all CPUs. This patch makes the machine check handler synchronize all these machine checks, elect a Monarch to handle the event and collect the worst event from all CPUs and then process it first. This has some advantages: - When there is a truly data corrupting error the system panics as quickly as possible. This improves containment of corrupted data and makes sure the corrupted data never hits stable storage. - The panics are synchronized and do not reenter the panic code on multiple CPUs (which currently does not handle this well). - All the errors are reported. Currently it often happens that another CPU happens to do the panic first, but reports useless information (empty machine check) because the real error happened on another CPU which came in later. This is a big advantage on Nehalem where the 8 threads per CPU lead to often the wrong CPU winning the race and dumping useless information on a machine check. The problem also occurs in a less severe form on older CPUs. - The system can detect when no CPUs detected a machine check and shut down the system. This can happen when one CPU is so badly hung that that it cannot process a machine check anymore or when some external agent wants to stop the system by asserting the machine check pin. This follows Intel hardware recommendations. - This matches the recommended error model by the CPU designers. - The events can be output in true severity order - When a panic happens on another CPU it makes sure to be actually be able to process the stop IPI by enabling interrupts. The code is extremly careful to handle timeouts while waiting for other CPUs. It can't rely on the normal timing mechanisms (jiffies, ktime_get) because of its asynchronous/lockless nature, so it uses own timeouts using ndelay() and a "SPINUNIT" The timeout is configurable. By default it waits for upto one second for the other CPUs. This can be also disabled. From some informal testing AMD systems do not see to broadcast machine checks, so right now it's always disabled by default on non Intel CPUs or also on very old Intel systems.

Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead. This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor. There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain, but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields. Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB extension. Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing (type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version number.
