2007-09-28[x86 setup] Correct the SMAP check for INT 0x15, AX=0xe820H. Peter Anvin
The e820 probe code was checking %edx, not %eax, for the SMAP signature on return. This worked on *almost* all systems, since %edx still contained SMAP from the call on entry, but on a handful of systems it failed -- plus, we would have missed real mismatches. The error output is "=d" to make sure gcc knows %edx is clobbered here. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-09-26[x86 setup] Handle case of improperly terminated E820 chainH. Peter Anvin
At least one system (a Geode system with a Digital Logic BIOS) has been found which suddenly stops reporting the SMAP signature when reading the E820 memory chain. We can't know what, exactly, broke in the BIOS, so if we detect this situation, declare the E820 data unusable and fall back to E801. Also, revert to original behavior of always probing all memory methods; that way all the memory information is available to the kernel. Signed-off-by: H.

2007-09-20[x86 setup] Present the canonical video mode number to the kernelH. Peter Anvin
Canonicalize the video mode number as presented to the kernel. The video mode number may be user-entered (e.g. ASK_VGA), an alias (e.g. NORMAL_VGA), or a size specification, and that confuses the suspend wakeup code. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-09-05[x86 setup] Work around bug in Xen HVMChristian Ehrhardt
Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected mode jump. This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this. My fix is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under Xen HVM again.

2007-08-31[x86 setup] Don't rely on the VESA BIOS being register-cleanH. Peter Anvin
The VESA BIOS is specified to be register-clean. However, we have now found at least one system which violates that. Thus, be as paranoid about VESA calls as about everything else. Huge thanks to Will Simoneau for reporting, diagnosing, and testing this out on Dell Inspiron 5150. Cc: Will Simoneau <simoneau@ele.uri.edu> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-08-23[x86 setup] Make sure AH=00h when setting a video modeH. Peter Anvin

2007-08-23[x86 setup] Volatilize asm() statementsH. Peter Anvin
asm() statements need to be volatile when: a. They have side effects (other than value returned). b. When the value returned can vary over time. c. When they have ordering constraints that cannot be expressed to gcc. In particular, the keyboard and timer reads were violating constraint (b), which resulted in the keyboard/timeout poll getting loop-invariant-removed when compiling with gcc 4.2.0. Thanks to an anonymous bug reporter for pointing this out. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-08-14[x86 setup] edd.c: make sure MBR signatures actually get reportedH. Peter Anvin
When filling in the MBR signature array, the setup code failed to advance boot_params.edd_mbr_sig_buf_entries, which resulted in the valid data being ignored. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-08-14[x86 setup] Don't use EDD to get the MBR signatureH. Peter Anvin
At least one machine has been identified in the field which advertises EDD for all drives but locks up if one attempts an extended read from a non-primary drive. The MBR is always at CHS 0-0-1, so there is no reason to use an extended read, other than the possibility that the BIOS cannot handle it. Although this might break as many machines as it fixes (a small number either way), the current state is a regression but the reverse is not. Therefore revert to the previous state of not using extended read. Quite probably the Right Thing to do is to read using plain (CHS) read and extended read on failure, but that change would definitely have to go through -mm first. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-08-14[x86 setup] The current display page is returned in %bh, not %blH. Peter Anvin
The current display page is an 8-bit number, even though struct screen_info gives it a 16-bit number. The number is returned in %bh, so it needs to be >> 8 before storing. Special thanks to Jeff Chua for detailed bug reporting. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2007-07-25[x86 setup] APM detection logic bug fixMikael Pettersson
Starting with kernel 2.6.23-rc1, the i386 APM driver fails on several of my machines with the message: apm: BIOS not found This happens because of a bug in the i386 boot code rewrite from assembler to C. The original assembly code had the following code in its APM BIOS presence test (boot/setup.S): andw $0x02, %cx # Is 32 bit supported? je done_apm_bios # No 32-bit, no (good) APM BIOS That is, the code bails out if bit 2 is zero. In the new C version, this is coded as (boot/apm.c): if (cx & 0x02) /* 32 bits supported? */ return -1; Here we see that the test has been accidentally inverted. The fix is to negate the test. I've verified that this allows the APM driver to work again on my affected machines. Signed-off-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-07-20xen: disable vdso "nosegneg" on native bootRoland McGrath
One of the nice ideas behind paravirt is that CONFIG_XEN=y can be included in a standard configuration and be no worse for native booting than as a Xen guest. The glibc feature that supports the vDSO "nosegneg" note is designed specifically to make this easy. You just have to flip one bit at boot time. This patch makes Xen flip the bit, so a CONFIG_XEN=y kernel on bare hardware does not make glibc use the less-optimized library builds.

2007-07-18[x86 setup] Save/restore DS around invocations of INT 10hH. Peter Anvin
There exists at least one card, Trident TVGA8900CL (BIOS dated 1992/9/8) which clobbers DS when "scrolling in an SVGA text mode of more than 800x600 pixels." Although we are extremely unlikely to run into that situation, it is cheap insurance to save and restore DS, and it only adds a grand total of 50 bytes to the total output.

2007-07-18[x86 setup] VGA: Clear the Protect bit before setting the vertical heightH. Peter Anvin
If the user has asked for the vertical height registers to be recomputed by setting bit 15 in the video mode number, we do so without clearing the Protect bit in the Vertical Retrace Register before setting the Overflow register. As a result, if the VGA BIOS had set the Protect bit, the write to the Overflow register will be dropped, and bits [9:8] of the vertical height will be left unchanged. This is a bug imported from the assembly version of this code. It was pointed out by Etienne Lorrain. Cc: Etienne Lorrain <etienne_lorrain@yahoo.fr> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-07-18[x86 setup] Fix assembly constraintsH. Peter Anvin
Fix incorrect assembly constraints. In particular, fix memory constraints used inside push..pop, which can cause invalid operation since gcc may generate %esp-relative references. Additionally: outl() should have "dN" not "dn". query_mca() shouldn't listen 16/32-bit registers in an 8-bit only context. has_eflag(): the "mask" is only used well after both the stack pointer and the output registers have been touched; this requires the output registers to be earlyclobbers (=&) and the input to exclude memory (so "ri", not "g").

2007-07-18xen: suppress abs symbol warnings for unused reloc pointersJeremy Fitzhardinge
arch/i386/xen/xen-asm.S defines some small pieces of code which are used to implement a few paravirt_ops. They're designed so they can be used either in-place, or be inline patched into their callsites if there's enough space. Some of those operations need to make calls out (specifically, if you re-enable events [interrupts], and there's a pending event at that time). These calls need the call instruction to be relocated if the code is patched inline. In this case xen_foo_reloc is a section-relative symbol which points to xen_foo's required relocation. Other operations have no need of a relocation, and so their corresponding xen_bar_reloc is absolute 0. These are the cases which are triggering the warning. This patch adds those symbols to the list of safe abs symbols. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Cc: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>

Video mode probing for the new x86 setup code. This code breaks down different drivers into modules. This code deliberately drops support for a lot of the vendor-specific mode probing present in the assembly version, since a lot of those probes have been found to be stale in current versions of those chips -- frequently, support for those modes have been dropped from recent video BIOSes due to space constraints, but the video BIOS signatures are still the same.
