Currently z_extract_offset is calculated in boot/compressed/mkpiggy.c. This doesn't work well because mkpiggy.c doesn't know the details of the decompressor in use. As a result, it can only make an estimation, which has risks: - output + output_len (VO) could be much bigger than input + input_len (ZO). In this case, the decompressed kernel plus relocs could overwrite the decompression code while it is running. - The head code of ZO could be bigger than z_extract_offset. In this case an overwrite could happen when the head code is running to move ZO to the end of buffer. Though currently the size of the head code is very small it's still a potential risk. Since there is no rule to limit the size of the head code of ZO, it runs the risk of suddenly becoming a (hard to find) bug. Instead, this moves the z_extract_offset calculation into header.S, and makes adjustments to be sure that the above two cases can never happen, and further corrects the comments describing the calculations. Since we have (in the previous patch) made ZO always be located against the end of decompression buffer, z_extract_offset is only used here to calculate an appropriate buffer size (INIT_SIZE), and is not longer used elsewhere. As such, it can be removed from voffset.h. Additionally clean up #if/#else #define to improve readability.

The comment that describes the analysis for the size of the decompressor code only took gzip into account (there are currently 6 other decompressors that could be used). The actual z_extract_offset calculation in code was already handling the correct maximum size, but this documentation hadn't been updated. This updates the documentation, fixes several typos, moves the comment to header.S, updates references, and adds a note at the end of the decompressor include list to remind us about updating the comment in the future. (Instead of moving the comment to mkpiggy.c, where the calculation is currently happening, it is being moved to header.S because the calculations in mkpiggy.c will be removed in favor of header.S calculations in a following patch, and it seemed like overkill to move the giant comment twice, especially when there's already reference to z_extract_offset in header.S.)

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load. kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c. And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse. The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking. Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work. Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.

This reverts commit: aeffc492 ("x86/efi: Request desired alignment via the PE/COFF headers") Linn reports that Signtool complains that kernels built with CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y are violating the PE/COFF specification because the 'SizeOfImage' field is not a multiple of 'SectionAlignment'. This violation was introduced as an optimisation to skip having the kernel relocate itself during boot and instead have the firmware place it at a correctly aligned address. No one else has complained and I'm not aware of any firmware implementations that refuse to boot with commit aeffc492, but it's a real bug, so revert the offending commit.

The EFI boot stub goes to great pains to relocate the kernel image to an appropriately aligned address, as indicated by the ->kernel_alignment field in the bzImage header. However, for the PE stub entry case, we can request that the EFI PE/COFF loader do the work for us. Fix by exposing the desired alignment via the SectionAlignment field in the PE/COFF headers. Despite its name, this field provides an overall alignment requirement for the loaded file. (Naturally, the FileAlignment field describes the alignment for individual sections.) There is no way in the PE/COFF headers to express the concept of min_alignment; we therefore do not expose the minimum (as opposed to preferred) alignment.

The PE/COFF headers currently describe only the initialised-data portions of the image, and result in no space being allocated for the uninitialised-data portions. Consequently, the EFI boot stub will end up overwriting unexpected areas of memory, with unpredictable results. Fix by including a .bss section in the PE/COFF headers (functionally equivalent to the init_size field in the bzImage header).

commit 7d453eee ("x86/efi: Wire up CONFIG_EFI_MIXED") introduced a regression for the functionality to load kernels above 4G. The relevant (incorrect) reasoning behind this change can be seen in the commit message, "The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y. XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits." This is obviously bogus since 32-bit EFI loaders will never place the kernel above the 4G mark. So this restriction is entirely unnecessary. But things are worse than that - since we want to encourage people to always compile with CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y so that their kernels work out of the box for both 32-bit and 64-bit firmware, commit 7d453eee effectively disables XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G completely. Remove the overzealous and superfluous restriction and restore the XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G functionality. Cc: "H.

Add the Kconfig option and bump the kernel header version so that boot loaders can check whether the handover code is available if they want. The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y. XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits. Note that no boot loaders should be using the bits set in xloadflags to decide which entry point to jump to. The entire scheme is based on the concept that 32-bit bootloaders always jump to ->handover_offset and 64-bit loaders always jump to ->handover_offset + 512. We set both bits merely to inform the boot loader that it's safe to use the native handover offset even if the machine type in the PE/COFF header claims otherwise.

In new kexec-tools it will by default to fill efi_info and pass other EFI required infomation to 2nd kernel so kexec kernel EFI initialization can succeed finally.

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.

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.

Release v1.3.82 wrapped a few lines of code in an "#ifdef SAFE_RESET_DISK_CONTROLLER" and "#endif" pair. Since SAFE_RESET_DISK_CONTROLLER was never defined anywhere that was basically a verbose "#ifdef 0" and "#endif" pair. These dead lines have been in the tree for sixteen years but now the time has come to remove them. I guess the main lesson here is that if you want your dead code in the tree for a very long time you'd better be creative. A plain old "#ifdef 0" and "#endif" pair just doesn't cut it!

This change modifes the PE .text section to start after the first sector of the kernel image. The header may be modified by the UEFI secure boot signing, so it is not appropriate for it to be included in one of the image sections. Since the sections are part of the secure boot hash, this modification to the .text section contents would invalidate the secure boot signed hash. Note: UEFI secure boot does hash the image header, but fields that are changed by the signing process are excluded from the hash calculation. This exclusion process is only handled for the image header, and not image sections. Luckily, we can still easily boot without the first sector by initializing a few fields in arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c.

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.

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.

Make symbols from the main vmlinux, as opposed to just compressed/vmlinux, available to header.S. Also, export a few additional symbols. This will be used in a subsequent patch to export the total memory footprint of the kernel. [ Impact: enable future enhancement ] Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

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.
