      i386: paravirt boot sequence · a24e7851
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.

      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] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation · d3561b7f
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be
      replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native
      operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
      
      This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized
      instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure.  Currently these are
      function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops
      structure with their own variants.
      
      All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific
      register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.
      
      And:
      
      +From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>
      
      The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup().
      Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86:
      
          arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of
                      `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior
      
      Move memory_setup() to avoid this.

      [PATCH] i386: Implement CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN · e69f202d
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      o Now CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is being replaced with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
        Hardcoding the kernel physical start value creates a problem in relocatable
        kernel context due to boot loader limitations. For ex, if somebody
        compiles a relocatable kernel to be run from address 4MB, but this kernel
        will run from location 1MB as grub loads the kernel at physical address
        1MB. Kernel thinks that I am a relocatable kernel and I should run from
        the address I have been loaded at. So somebody wanting to run kernel
        from 4MB alignment location (for improved performance regions) can't do
        that.
      
      o Hence, Eric proposed that probably CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN will make
        more sense in relocatable kernel context. At run time kernel will move
        itself to a physical addr location which meets user specified alignment
        restrictions.

      [PATCH] i386: Relocatable kernel support · 968de4f0
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This patch modifies the i386 kernel so that if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is
      selected it will be able to be loaded at any 4K aligned address below
      1G.  The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and
      modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable.  For the main
      kernel relocations are generated.  Resulting in a kernel that is relocatable
      with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code.
      
      A reserved 32bit word in the parameters has been assigned
      to serve as a stack so we figure out where are running.

      [PATCH] i386: CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START cleanup · 2a43f3ed
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Defining __PHYSICAL_START and __KERNEL_START in asm-i386/page.h works but
      it triggers a full kernel rebuild for the silliest of reasons.  This
      modifies the users to directly use CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and linux/config.h
      which prevents the full rebuild problem, which makes the code much
      more maintainer and hopefully user friendly.

      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!
