d1af6d045f x86, boot: Not need to check setup_header version for setup_data
That is for bootloaders.

setup_data is in setup_header, and bootloader is copying that from bzImage.
So for old bootloader should keep that as 0 already.

old kexec-tools till now for elf image set setup_data to 0, so it is ok.

ee92d81502 x86, boot: Support loading bzImage, boot_params and ramdisk above 4G
xloadflags bit 1 indicates that we can load the kernel and all data
structures above 4G; it is set if kernel is relocatable and 64bit.

bootloader will check if xloadflags bit 1 is set to decide if
it could load ramdisk and kernel high above 4G.

bootloader will fill value to ext_ramdisk_image/size for high 32bits
when it load ramdisk above 4G.
kernel use get_ramdisk_image/size to use ext_ramdisk_image/size to get
right positon for ramdisk.

a8a51a88d5 x86: Add get_ramdisk_image/size()
There are several places to find ramdisk information early for reserving
and relocating.

Use accessor functions to make code more readable and consistent.

Later will add ext_ramdisk_image/size in those functions to support
loading ramdisk above 4g.

1b8c78be01 x86: Merge early_reserve_initrd for 32bit and 64bit
They are the same, could move them out from head32/64.c to setup.c.

We are using memblock, and it could handle overlapping properly, so
we don't need to reserve some at first to hold the location, and just
need to make sure we reserve them before we are using memblock to find
free mem to use.

8170e6bed4 x86, 64bit: Use a #PF handler to materialize early mappings on demand
Linear mode (CR0.PG = 0) is mutually exclusive with 64-bit mode; all
64-bit code has to use page tables.  This makes it awkward before we
have first set up properly all-covering page tables to access objects
that are outside the static kernel range.

So far we have dealt with that simply by mapping a fixed amount of
low memory, but that fails in at least two upcoming use cases:

1. We will support load and run kernel, struct boot_params, ramdisk,
   command line, etc. above the 4 GiB mark.
2. need to access ramdisk early to get microcode to update that as
   early possible.

We could use early_iomap to access them too, but it will make code to
messy and hard to be unified with 32 bit.

Hence, set up a #PF table and use a fixed number of buffers to set up
page tables on demand.  If the buffers fill up then we simply flush
them and start over.  These buffers are all in __initdata, so it does
not increase RAM usage at runtime.

Thus, with the help of the #PF handler, we can set the final kernel
mapping from blank, and switch to init_level4_pgt later.

During the switchover in head_64.S, before #PF handler is available,
we use three pages to handle kernel crossing 1G, 512G boundaries with
sharing page by playing games with page aliasing: the same page is
mapped twice in the higher-level tables with appropriate wraparound.
The kernel region itself will be properly mapped; other mappings may
be spurious.

early_make_pgtable is using kernel high mapping address to access pages
to set page table.

-v4: Add phys_base offset to make kexec happy, and add
	init_mapping_kernel()   - Yinghai
-v5: fix compiling with xen, and add back ident level3 and level2 for xen
     also move back init_level4_pgt from BSS to DATA again.
     because we have to clear it anyway.  - Yinghai
-v6: switch to init_level4_pgt in init_mem_mapping. - Yinghai
-v7: remove not needed clear_page for init_level4_page
     it is with fill 512,8,0 already in head_64.S  - Yinghai
-v8: we need to keep that handler alive until init_mem_mapping and don't
     let early_trap_init to trash that early #PF handler.
     So split early_trap_pf_init out and move it down. - Yinghai
-v9: switchover only cover kernel space instead of 1G so could avoid
     touch possible mem holes. - Yinghai
-v11: change far jmp back to far return to initial_code, that is needed
     to fix failure that is reported by Konrad on AMD systems.  - Yinghai

After we switch to use #PF handler help to set page table, init_level4_pgt

a9acc5365d x86/Sandy Bridge: reserve pages when integrated graphics is present
SNB graphics devices have a bug that prevent them from accessing certain

Stephane Marchesin had a similar patch to the page allocator awhile
back, but rather than reserving pages up front, it leaked them at
allocation time.

  const, and made less verbose; use "memblock=debug" for full
  verbosity. ]

Pull x86 ACPI update from Peter Anvin:
 "This is a patchset which didn't make the last merge window.  It adds a
  debugging capability to feed ACPI tables via the initramfs.

  On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for
  feeding arbitrary blobs which need to be accessed early to the kernel:
  they are fed first in the initramfs blob (lots of bootloaders can
  concatenate this at boot time, others can use a single file) in an
  uncompressed cpio archive using filenames starting with "kernel/".

  The ACPI maintainers requested that this patchset be fed via the x86
  tree rather than the ACPI tree as the footprint in the general x86
  code is much bigger than in the ACPI code proper."

8d57470d8f x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first.
Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until
all pages get mapped.

alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used
up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage.

Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges,
that will be updated when lower pages get mapped.

Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with
limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have
more mapped pages on hand.

We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done
in alloc_low_page() directly.

At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code.

-v2: update to after fix_xen change,
     also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it.
-v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end.
-v4: don't need fix_xen change now.
-v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.

66520ebc2d x86, mm: Only direct map addresses that are marked as E820_RAM
Currently direct mappings are created for [ 0 to max_low_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT )
and [ 4GB to max_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ), which may include regions that are not
backed by actual DRAM. This is fine for holes under 4GB which are covered
by fixed and variable range MTRRs to be UC. However, we run into trouble
on higher memory addresses which cannot be covered by MTRRs.

Our system with 1TB of RAM has an e820 that looks like this:

 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000000983ff] usable
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000098400-0x000000000009ffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000d0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000c7ebffff] usable
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ec0000-0x00000000c7ed7fff] ACPI data
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ed8000-0x00000000c7ed9fff] ACPI NVS
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7eda000-0x00000000c7ffffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee00fff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000e037ffffff] usable
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000e038000000-0x000000fcffffffff] reserved
 BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000010000000000-0x0000011ffeffffff] usable

and so direct mappings are created for huge memory hole between
0x000000e038000000 to 0x0000010000000000. Even though the kernel never
generates memory accesses in that region, since the page tables mark
them incorrectly as being WB, our (AMD) processor ends up causing a MCE
while doing some memory bookkeeping/optimizations around that area.

This patch iterates through e820 and only direct maps ranges that are
marked as E820_RAM, and keeps track of those pfn ranges. Depending on
the alignment of E820 ranges, this may possibly result in using smaller
size (i.e. 4K instead of 2M or 1G) page tables.

-v2: move changes from setup.c to mm/init.c, also use for_each_mem_pfn_range
	instead.  - Yinghai Lu
-v3: add calculate_all_table_space_size() to get correct needed page table
	size. - Yinghai Lu
-v4: fix add_pfn_range_mapped() to get correct max_low_pfn_mapped when
     mem map does have hole under 4g that is found by Konard on xen
     domU with 8g ram. - Yinghai

Use pfn_range_is_mapped() to find out if range is mapped for initrd.

That could happen bootloader put initrd in range but user could
use memmap to carve some of range out.

Also during copying need to use early_memmap to map original initrd

5189c2a7c7 x86: efi: Turn off efi_enabled after setup on mixed fw/kernel
When 32-bit EFI is used with 64-bit kernel (or vice versa), turn off
efi_enabled once setup is done. Beyond setup, it is normally used to
determine if runtime services are available and we will have none.

This will resolve issues stemming from efivars modprobe panicking on a
32/64-bit setup, as well as some reboot issues on similar setups.

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>:

Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute
which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now
because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and
thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.

This is done as a merge rather than a simple patch/cherry-pick since
the baseline for this patch was not in the previous x86/urgent.

b3c869d35b jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATE
CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.

This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.

This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.

Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.

For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.

Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.

This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.

This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.

NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
	register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

d484864dd9 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping
Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
 "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
  (mainly for ARM architecture).  First one is Contiguous Memory
  Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
  big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.

  The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
  allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
  chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
  big chunk is allocated.  Once the alloc request is issued, the
  framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
  chunk of physically contiguous memory.

  For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:

   - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/

   - 'CMA and ARM':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/

   - 'A deep dive into CMA':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/

   - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
     versions:
		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204

  The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.

  The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
  subsystem.  The core implementation has been changed to use common
  struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
  new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2.  This allows to use more than
  one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
  struct device basis.  The first client of this new infractructure is
  dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
  core, common code.

  The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
  implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
  This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
  calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.

  For more information please refer to the following thread:
		http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html

  The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
  resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
  been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

151766fce8 Revert "x86/platform: Add a wallclock_init func to x86_platforms ops"
This reverts commit cf8ff6b6ab.

Just found this commit is a function duplicatation of commit 6b617e22
"x86/platform: Add a wallclock_init func to x86_init.timers ops".
Let's revert it and sorry for the noise.

d5b4bb4d10 Merge branch 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
 "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
  realistically, nobody is using them anymore.  They were mostly limited
  to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
  64MB of RAM.  Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
  dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
  various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.

  So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA.  There is no point
  carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
  wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
  grep'ping over it, and so on."

Let's see if anybody screams.  It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines.  So in *theory*
there may be users out there.

But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.

So we could bring it back.  But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that.  And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61a: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

0a2b9a6ea9 X86: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystem
This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for x86
architecture that uses common pci-dma/pci-nommu implementation. This
allows to test CMA on KVM/QEMU and a lot of common x86 boxes.

bb8187d35f MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory.  A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.

This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture.  There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.

One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

ab7b64e9ee x86: Don't continue booting if we can't load the specified initrd
If we've determined we can't do what the user asked, trying to do
something else isn't going to make the user's life better.

Without this the screen scrolls a bit and then you get a panic
anyway, and it's nice not to have so much scroll after the real
problem in bug reports.
