7aac3015b5 x86, boot: Switch output functions from command-line flags to conditional compilation
Changed putstr flagging from parameter to conditional compilation for puts,
debug_putstr, and error_putstr. This allows for space savings since most
configurations won't use this feature.

9f4e4392cb x86, boot: Removed quiet flag and switched quiet output to debug flag
There are only 3 uses of the quiet flag and they all protect output that

743628e868 x86, efi stub: Add .reloc section back into image
Some UEFI firmware will not load a .efi with a .reloc section
with a size of 0.

Therefore, we create a .efi image with 4 main areas and 3 sections.
1. PE/COFF file header
2. .setup section (covers all setup code following the first sector)
3. .reloc section (contains 1 dummy reloc entry, created in build.c)
4. .text section (covers the remaining kernel image)

To make room for the new .setup section data, the header
bugger_off_msg had to be shortened.

9fa7dedad3 x86, efi; Add EFI boot stub console support
We need a way of printing useful messages to the user, for example
when we fail to open an initrd file, instead of just hanging the
machine without giving the user any indication of what went wrong. So
sprinkle some error messages throughout the EFI boot stub code to make
it easier for users to diagnose/report problems.

30dc0d0fe5 x86, efi: Only close open files in error path
The loop at the 'close_handles' label in handle_ramdisks() should be
using 'i', which represents the number of initrd files that were
successfully opened, not 'nr_initrds' which is the number of initrd=
arguments passed on the command line.

Currently, if we execute the loop to close all file handles and we
failed to open any initrds we'll try to call the close function on a
garbage pointer, causing the machine to hang.

6520fe5564 x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool
A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.

In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.

16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.

The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture.  be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
  relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
  produces bad kernels. ]

b1994304fc x86, efi: Add dedicated EFI stub entry point
The method used to work out whether we were booted by EFI firmware or
via a boot loader is broken. Because efi_main() is always executed
when booting from a boot loader we will dereference invalid pointers
either on the stack (CONFIG_X86_32) or contained in %rdx
(CONFIG_X86_64) when searching for an EFI System Table signature.

Instead of dereferencing these invalid system table pointers, add a
new entry point that is only used when booting from EFI firmware, when
we know the pointer arguments will be valid. With this change legacy
boot loaders will no longer execute efi_main(), but will instead skip
EFI stub initialisation completely.

[ hpa: Marking this for urgent/stable since it is a regression when
  the option is enabled; without the option the patch has no effect ]

e47bb0bda4 x86, efi: Fix NumberOfRvaAndSizes field in PE32 header for EFI_STUB
We've actually got six data directories in the header, not one. Even
though the firmware loader doesn't seem to mind, when we come to sign
the kernel image the signing tool thinks that there is no Certificate
Table data directory, even though we've allocated space for one.

e31be363df x86, efi: Fix .text section overlapping image header for EFI_STUB
This change modifes the PE .text section to start after
the first sector of the kernel image.

The header may be modified by the UEFI secure boot signing,
so it is not appropriate for it to be included in one of the
image sections. Since the sections are part of the secure
boot hash, this modification to the .text section contents
would invalidate the secure boot signed hash.

Note: UEFI secure boot does hash the image header, but
fields that are changed by the signing process are excluded
from the hash calculation.  This exclusion process is only
handled for the image header, and not image sections.

Luckily, we can still easily boot without the first sector
by initializing a few fields in arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c.

2e064b1e13 x86, efi: Fix issue of overlapping .reloc section for EFI_STUB
Previously the .reloc section was embedded in the .text
section.

No relocations are required during the PE/COFF loading phase
for the kernel using the EFI_STUB UEFI loader. To fix the
issue of overlapping sections, create a .reloc section with a
zero length.

The .reloc section header must exist to make sure the image
will be loaded by the UEFI firmware, but a zero-length
section header seems to be sufficient.

446e1c86d5 x86, boot: Correct CFLAGS for hostprogs
This is a partial revert of commit:
    d40f833 "Restrict CFLAGS for hostprogs"

The endian-manipulation macros in tools/include need <linux/types.h>,
but the hostprogs in arch/x86/boot need several headers from the
kernel build tree, which means we have to add the kernel headers to
the include path.  This picks up <linux/types.h> from the kernel tree,
which gives a warning.

Since this use of <linux/types.h> is intentional, add
-D__EXPORTED_HEADERS__ to the command line to silence the warning.

A better way to fix this would be to always install the exported
kernel headers into $(objtree)/usr/include as a standard part of the
kernel build, but that is a lot more involved.

92f42c50f2 x86, efi: Fix endian issues and unaligned accesses
We may need to convert the endianness of the data we read from/write
to 'buf', so let's use {get,put}_unaligned_le32() to do that. Failure
to do so can result in accessing invalid memory, leading to a
segfault.  Stephen Rothwell noticed this bug while cross-building an
x86_64 allmodconfig kernel on PowerPC.

We need to read from and write to 'buf' a byte at a time otherwise
it's possible we'll perform an unaligned access, which can lead to bus
errors when cross-building an x86 kernel on risc architectures.

2d2da60fb4 x86, efi: Break up large initrd reads
The efi boot stub tries to read the entire initrd in 1 go, however
some efi implementations hang if too much if asked to read too much
data at the same time. After some experimentation I found out that my
asrock p67 board will hang if asked to read chunks of 4MiB, so use a
safe value.

elilo reads in chunks of 16KiB, but since that requires many read
calls I use a value of 1 MiB.  hpa suggested adding individual
blacklists for when systems are found where this value causes a crash.

291f36325f x86, efi: EFI boot stub support
There is currently a large divide between kernel development and the
development of EFI boot loaders. The idea behind this patch is to give
the kernel developers full control over the EFI boot process. As
H. Peter Anvin put it,

"The 'kernel carries its own stub' approach been very successful in
dealing with BIOS, and would make a lot of sense to me for EFI as
well."

This patch introduces an EFI boot stub that allows an x86 bzImage to
be loaded and executed by EFI firmware. The bzImage appears to the
firmware as an EFI application. Luckily there are enough free bits
within the bzImage header so that it can masquerade as an EFI
application, thereby coercing the EFI firmware into loading it and
jumping to its entry point. The beauty of this masquerading approach
is that both BIOS and EFI boot loaders can still load and run the same
bzImage, thereby allowing a single kernel image to work in any boot
environment.

The EFI boot stub supports multiple initrds, but they must exist on
the same partition as the bzImage. Command-line arguments for the
kernel can be appended after the bzImage name when run from the EFI
shell, e.g.

Shell> bzImage console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sdb initrd=initrd.img

v7:
 - Fix checkpatch warnings.

v6:

 - Try to allocate initrd memory just below hdr->inird_addr_max.

v5:

 - load_options_size is UTF-16, which needs dividing by 2 to convert
   to the corresponding ASCII size.

v4:

 - Don't read more than image->load_options_size

v3:

 - Fix following warnings when compiling CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n

   arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c: In function ‘main’:
   arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:24: warning: unused variable ‘pe_header’
   arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:15: warning: unused variable ‘file_sz’

 - As reported by Matthew Garrett, some Apple machines have GOPs that
   don't have hardware attached. We need to weed these out by
   searching for ones that handle the PCIIO protocol.

 - Don't allocate memory if no initrds are on cmdline
 - Don't trust image->load_options_size

Maarten Lankhorst noted:
 - Don't strip first argument when booted from efibootmgr
 - Don't allocate too much memory for cmdline
 - Don't update cmdline_size, the kernel considers it read-only
 - Don't accept '\n' for initrd names

v2:

 - File alignment was too large, was 8192 should be 512. Reported by
   Maarten Lankhorst on LKML.
 - Added UGA support for graphics
 - Use VIDEO_TYPE_EFI instead of hard-coded number.
 - Move linelength assignment until after we've assigned depth
 - Dynamically fill out AddressOfEntryPoint in tools/build.c
 - Don't use magic number for GDT/TSS stuff. Requested by Andi Kleen
 - The bzImage may need to be relocated as it may have been loaded at
   a high address address by the firmware. This was required to get my
   macbook booting because the firmware loaded it at 0x7cxxxxxx, which
   triggers this error in decompress_kernel(),

	if (heap > ((-__PAGE_OFFSET-(128<<20)-1) & 0x7fffffff))
		error("Destination address too large");

303148045a x86: support XZ-compressed kernel
This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.

mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for
kernel decompression.  It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to
keep the code simpler.

The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is
increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64.

Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number.

With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few
percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel.

68f4d5a00a x86, setup: Use string copy operation to optimze copy in kernel compression
The kernel decompression code parses the ELF header and then copies
the segment to the corresponding destination.  Currently it uses slow
byte-copy code.  This patch makes it use the string copy operations
instead.

In the test the copy performance can be improved very significantly after using
the string copy operation mechanism.
        1. The copy time can be reduced from 150ms to 20ms on one Atom machine
	2. The copy time can be reduced about 80% on another machine
		The time is reduced from 7ms to 1.5ms when using 32-bit kernel.
		The time is reduced from 10ms to 2ms when using 64-bit kernel.
