For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.
When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.
The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
thing to do.
The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes.
The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.
This reverts all or part of the following checkins:
cd670599b7c549e71d07
However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a
comment to explain that part.

arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c contains several sanity checks on the
output address. Correct constraints that are no longer correct:
- the alignment test should be MIN_KERNEL_ALIGN on both 32 and 64
bits.
- the 64 bit maximum address was set to 2^40, which was the limit of
one specific x86-64 implementation. Change the test to 2^46, the
current Linux limit, and at least try to test the end rather than
the beginning.

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

In the pre-decompression code, use the appropriate largest possible
rep movs and rep stos to move code and clear bss, respectively. For
reverse copy, do note that the initial values are supposed to be the
address of the first (highest) copy datum, not one byte beyond the end
of the buffer.
rep strings are not necessarily the fastest way to perform these
operations on all current processors, but are likely to be in the
future, and perhaps more importantly, we want to encourage the
architecturally right thing to do here.
This also fixes a couple of trivial inefficiencies on 64 bits.

Both on 32 and 64 bits, we copy all the way up to the end of bss,
except that on 64 bits there is a hack to avoid copying on top of the
page tables. There is no point in copying bss at all, especially
since we are just about to zero it all anyway.
To clean up and unify the handling, we now do:
- copy from startup_32 to _bss.
- zero from _bss to _ebss.
- the _ebss symbol is aligned to an 8-byte boundary.
- the page tables are moved to a separate section.
Use _bss as the copy endpoint since _edata may be misaligned.

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 ;)

Impact: Fixes these modes on at least one system
The rewrite of the setup code into C resequenced the font setting and
register reprogramming phases of configuring nonstandard VGA modes
which use 480 scan lines in text mode. However, there exists at least
one board (Micro-Star MS-7383 version 2.0) on which this resequencing
causes an unusable display.
Revert to the original sequencing: set up 480-line mode, install the
font, and then adjust the vertical end register appropriately.
This failure was masked by the fact that the 480-line setup was broken
until checkin 5f64135612 (therefore this

Impact: remove unused/broken code
The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.
No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.
In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
build problems already known, needs serious and significant
changes and probably a rewrite to support it.
CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.
While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
fashion.

Some BIOSes do not always set CF on error before return from int13.
The patch adds additional check for status being zero (AH == 0).

When building image.iso (make isoimage), use the isohybrid tool if it
exists. isohybrid is a script included with Syslinux 3.72 and higher,
which creates an image that can be booted either as a hard disk
(including removable, e.g. USB disk) or as a CD-ROM.
If isohybrid doesn't exist, then this has no effect.

The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it
doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we
can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.

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.

We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its
predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in
/proc/cpuinfo. This patch generates the latter from the former.
It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
making that require a separate action it should at least be less
likely to happen.
It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
interface and must remain constant.)

x86 boot: proper use of ARRAY_SIZE instead of repeated E820MAX constant
caused these new warnings during a normal build:

I tried to fix them in log2.h, but it's difficult because the real mode
environment is completely different from a normal kernel environment. Instead
define an own ARRAY_SIZE macro in boot.h, similar to the other private
macros there.

yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a
current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the
latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the
setup code.
After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist()
function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine
simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for
this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID
instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep
BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some
Pentium earliest.
Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid
levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether.
H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more:

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.

Apparently, DOS and possibly other legacy operating systems issued a
null command to the keyboard controller after toggling A20,
specifically "pulse output pins" with no output pins specified. This
was presumably done for synchronization reasons. This has made it
into at least the UHCI spec, and it has been found to cause
compatibility problems when "legacy USB" is enabled (which it almost
always is) to not have this byte sent.
It is *NOT* clear if any of these compatibility problems has any
effect on Linux. However, for maximum compatibility, issue this null
command after togging A20 through the KBC.

This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more
memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86
legacy BIOS E820 interface. The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX ==
128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the
size for several arrays and loops over those arrays.
The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those
arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro
evaluated for the array being looped. That way, a subsequent patch can
change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code.
This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine,
which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries.
This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array. Once again,
this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some
calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code.
As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further
combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for
this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration.
This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel
binary.

The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f1) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.
Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.
To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.
This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.

On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message.
Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device
names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda)
There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems
with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too.
This patch is adds an informational message on early boot.
CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m)
so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays.
I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen
more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking
cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end-
user to find out, what`s the issue.
For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset.
This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

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.

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.

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.]

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.
