      [PATCH] x86: deflate stack usage in lib/inflate.c · 35c74226
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      inflate_fixed and huft_build together use around 2.7k of stack.  When
      using 4k stacks, I saw stack overflows from interrupts arriving while
      unpacking the root initrd:
      
      do_IRQ: stack overflow: 384

      (This was under Xen, but there's no reason it couldn't happen on bare
        hardware.)
      
      This patch mallocs the local variables, thereby reducing the stack
      usage to sane levels.
      
      Also, up the heap size for the kernel decompressor to deal with the
      extra allocation.

      [PATCH] x86-64: build-time checking · 6a50a664
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons.
      	- Performance.
      	- For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference
      	  between compile time address and load time physical address.
      	  This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data
      	  is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB
      	  aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time
      	  kernel addresses are 2MB aligned.
      
      o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which
        does not meet alignment restrictions.

      [PATCH] x86-64: Relocatable Kernel Support · 1ab60e0f
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run
      at any 2M aligned address, below 512G.  The technique used is to
      compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor
      is fully relocatable.  For the main kernel the page tables are
      modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address.  In
      addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address
      the kernel is loaded at.  __pa_symbol is modified to add that when
      we take the address of a kernel symbol.
      
      When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress
      the kernel to 2M and it will run there.  This both ensures the
      relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M
      pages for the kernel and the cpu.

      Remove some of the unnecessary differences between arch/i386 and
      arch/x86_64.  This patch fixes more whitespace issues, some miscellaneous
      typos, a wrong URL and a factually incorrect statement about the current

      [PATCH] kexec: x86_64: add CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START · d0537508
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need
      to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory.  To accomplish this
      the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses.
      
      This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86_64 kernel
      so we can do just that.  You need to know what you are doing and
      the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users
      won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
      
      bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled
      with this option but they will still load at 1MB.  If you need a kernel
      loaded at a different address as well you need to boot a vmlinux.

      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!
