* x86, setup: un-resequence mode setting for VGA 80x34 and 80x60 modesH. Peter Anvin2009-04-071-10/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 5f641356127712fbdce0eee120e5ce115860c17f (therefore this is not a -stable candidate bug fix.)

| * x86, setup: guard against pre-ACPI 3 e820 code not updating %ecxH. Peter Anvin2009-04-011-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: BIOS bug safety For pre-ACPI 3 BIOSes, pre-initialize the end of the e820 buffer just in case the BIOS returns an unchanged %ecx but without actually touching the ACPI 3 extended flags field. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
| * x86, setup: ACPI 3, BIOS workaround for E820-probing codeH. Peter Anvin2009-03-281-4/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: ACPI 3 spec compliance, BIOS bug workaround The ACPI 3 spec added another field to the E820 buffer -- which is backwards incompatible, since it contains a validity bit. Furthermore, there has been at least one report of a BIOS which assumes that the buffer it is pointed at is the same buffer as for the previous E820 call. Therefore, read the data into a temporary buffer and copy the standard part of it if and only if the valid bit is set. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: BIOS bugproofing Since there are BIOSes known to clobber %ebx and %esi for INT 15 E820, assume there is something out there clobbering %edi and/or %ebp too, and don't wait for it to fail. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jordan Hargrave diagnosed a BIOS clobbering %esi in the E820 call. That particular BIOS has been fixed, but there is a possibility that this is responsible for other occasional reports of early boot failure, and it does not hurt to add %esi to the clobbers. -stable candidate patch.

* | x86, setup: compile with -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILINGH. Peter Anvin2009-04-032-1/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: code size reduction (possibly critical) The x86 boot and decompression code has no use of the branch profiling constructs, so disable them. This would bloat the setup code by as much as 14K, eating up a fairly large chunk of the 32K area we are guaranteed to have. Signed-off-by: H.

| | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix rarely-used feature The VGA Miscellaneous Output Register is read from address 0x3CC but written to address 0x3C2. This was missed when this code was converted from assembly to C. While we're at it, clean up the code by making the overflow bits and the math used to set the bits explicit. Signed-off-by: H.

* x86: remove zImage supportH. Peter Anvin2009-03-114-87/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Both compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster than bzip2. It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two compressors. The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by the udpcast project This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28 This part contains: - support for new bzip2 and lzma kernel compression for x86 Signed-off-by: Alain Knaff <alain@knaff.lu> Signed-off-by: H.

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. So remove this inactive code for now. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| * | x86 setup: a20: early timeout for a nonexistent keyboard controllerH. Peter Anvin2009-02-021-34/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When probing the keyboard controller to enable A20, if we get FF back (which is *possible* as a valid status word, but is extremely unlikely) then bail after much fewer iterations than we otherwise would, and abort the attempt to access the KBC. This hopefully should make it work a lot better for embedded platforms which don't have a KBC and where the BIOS doesn't implement INT 15h AX=2401h (and doesn't boot with A20 already enabled.) If this works, it will be the one remaining use of CONFIG_X86_ELAN as anything other than a processor type optimization option. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>

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. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

This patch adds the necessary boot code support. Note: due to a typo in an #if statement, it didn't trigger the #error this was supposed to do. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

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.) Signed-off-by: H.

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.
