Look at the:

	diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds

output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for
trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a
"pgtable" thing.

So unify them.

There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing
rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS
end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but
other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion.

For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64",
and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't
do that.

Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about
"head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was
actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't
new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the
vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;)

Comments in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S erroneously refer to the
real mode pointer as the second and the heap area as the third argument
to decompress_kernel(). In fact, these have been the first and second
argument, respectively, since v2.6.20.

This patch corrects the comments. It introduces no code changes.

The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the
end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems,
but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very
least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you
count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch
moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.

The kernel only ever supports 1 version of the boot protocol
so there is no need to check the boot protocol revision to
see if a feature is supported.

Both x86 and x86_64 support the same boot protocol so we need
to implement the KEEP_SEGMENTS on x86_64 as well.  It isn't
just paravirt bootloaders that could use this functionality.

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.

The relocatable kernel code needs a scratch field for the decompressor
to determine its own location.  It was using a location inside
struct screen_info; reserve a free location and document it as scratch
instead.

Commit 968de4f0 ("i386: Relocatable
kernel support") caused problems for people with old binutils versions
that didn't mark ".text.*" sections automatically allocated.

So we should use .section command to specifically mark .text.head
section as AX (allocatable and executable) to solve the problem.

This should be unnecessary with binutils 2.15 and later, which is
already three years old, but it doesn't hurt supporting older toolchains
where possible.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!
