cc65f1ec19 x86 setup: correct segfault in generation of 32-bit reloc kernel
Impact: segfault on build of a 32-bit relocatable kernel

When converting arch/x86/boot/compressed/relocs.c to support unlimited
sections, the computation of sym_strtab in walk_relocs() was done
incorrectly.  This causes a segfault for some people when building the
relocatable 32-bit kernel.

Pointed out by Anonymous <pageexec@freemail.hu>.

7f16a33978 x86: boot/compressed/Makefile: fix "make clean"
The Kbuild variable "targets" is supposed to be
configuration-independent and reflect "all possible targets".  This is
required to make "make clean" work properly.

Therefore, move all manipulation of "targets" as well as custom rules
out of the x86-32 ifdef statement.  Only leave inside the ifdefs the
things that are genuinely configuration-dependent.

59f09ba2b6 x86: fix comment in protected mode header
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.

2d6ffcca62 inflate: refactor inflate malloc code
Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.

The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free.  This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.

This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.

The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
 - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
   allocations should be made
 - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
   allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
   the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed

The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call.  This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running.  If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().

Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

908ec7afac x86: remove arbitrary ELF section limit in i386 relocatable kernel
Impact: build failure in maximal configurations

The 32-bit x86 relocatable kernel requires an auxilliary host program
to process the relocations.  This program had a hard-coded arbitrary
limit of a 100 ELF sections.  Instead of a hard-coded limit, allocate
the structures dynamically.

7c53976404 x86: cleanup boot-heap usage
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.

03056c88cf x86: remove superfluous initialisation in boot code.
In arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c, the variable vidmem is
the only variable that ends up in de data segment. It's also
superfluous, because the first thing the code does is:

	if (RM_SCREEN_INFO.orig_video_mode == 7) {
		vidmem = (char *) 0xb0000;
		vidport = 0x3b4;
	} else {
		vidmem = (char *) 0xb8000;
		vidport = 0x3d4;
	}

This patch removes the initialisation.

ba082427ae x86: tweak io_64.h for paravirt.
We need something here because we can't call in and out instructions
directly. However, we have to be careful, because no indirections are
allowed in misc_64.c , and paravirt_ops is a kind of one. So just
call it directly there

b02aae9cf5 x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.
x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.

Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay
writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate
diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these.

David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a
proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine,
with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger.

Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the
2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with
help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has
two problems.

First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while
some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically
problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly
well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and
based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which
would sort of work, but...

Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has.
It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly
or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence
that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus
locking outb.

Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such,
this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more
invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover
only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems
to fit that situation.

This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override
the DMI based choice again:

	io_delay=<standard|alternate>

where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate"
port 0xed.

This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and
command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well.

This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using
the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem
as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the
udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also
fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI
based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot
code be.

The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already
and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the
problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z.

This patch is partly based on earlier patches from Pavel Machek and
David P. Reed.

bd53147db8 x86: Fix boot protocol KEEP_SEGMENTS check.
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.

a24e785111 i386: paravirt boot sequence
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.

222d394d30 kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to AS
The variable AFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.

This patch replace use of AFLAGS with KBUILD_AFLAGS all over
the tree.

Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390
