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.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.).

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.

Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention, memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary. Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear memory the kernel will require during initialization.

Impact: new interfaces (not yet used) For all the platforms out there, there is an infinite number of buggy BIOSes. This adds infrastructure to treat BIOS interrupts more like toxic waste and "glove box" them -- we switch out the register set, perform the BIOS interrupt, and then restore the previous state.

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>

The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot loader. This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time field. Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself. Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel. Signed-off-by: NH.

In order to work around old LILO versions providing an invalid ss register, the current setup code always sets up a new stack, immediately following .bss and the heap. But this breaks LOADLIN. This rewrite of the workaround checks for an invalid stack (ss!=ds) first, and leaves ss:sp alone otherwise (apart from aligning esp). [hpa note: LOADLIN has a number of arbitrary hard-coded limits that are being pushed up against. Without some major revision of LOADLIN itself it will not be sustainable keeping it alive. This gives it another brief lease on life, however. This patch also helps the cmdline truncation problem with old versions of SYSLINUX.] Signed-off-by: Jens Rottmann <JRottmann at LiPPERT-AT. de> Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot. If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things: 1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but inapproprate for others. 2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we simply do the normal boot sequence.
