2009-09-18x86: convert compressed loader to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.Tim Abbott
This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head code from ".text.head" to ".head.text". Linus suggested that we merge the ".text.head" section with ".text" (presumably while preserving the fact that the head code starts at 0). When I tried this it caused the kernel to not boot.

2009-05-25x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entriesTejun Heo
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.

2009-05-12x86, boot: correct sanity checks in boot/compressed/misc.cH. Peter Anvin
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. - for non-relocatable kernels, test against LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR on both 32 and 64 bits.

2009-05-11x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fieldsH. Peter Anvin
Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention, memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary. Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear memory the kernel will require during initialization.

2009-05-08x86, boot: determine compressed code offset at compile timeH. Peter Anvin
Determine the compressed code offset (from the kernel runtime address) at compile time. This allows some minor optimizations in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_*.S, but more importantly it makes this value available to the build process, which will enable a future patch to export the necessary linear memory footprint into the bzImage header.

2009-05-08x86, boot: use appropriate rep string for move and clearH. Peter Anvin
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. [ Impact: trivial performance enhancement, increase code similarity ] Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2009-05-08x86, boot: zero EFLAGS on 32 bitsH. Peter Anvin

2009-05-08x86, boot: set up the decompression stack as early as possibleH. Peter Anvin
Set up the decompression stack as soon as we know where it needs to go. That way we have a full-service stack as soon as possible, rather than relying on the BP_scratch field. Note that the stack does need to be empty during bss zeroing (or else the stack needs to be moved out of the bss segment, which is also an option.)

2009-05-08x86, boot: straighten out ranges to copy/zero in compressed/head*.SH. Peter Anvin
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. [ Impact: cleanup, trivial performance improvement ] Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2009-05-08x86, boot: align the .bss section in the decompressorH. Peter Anvin

2009-04-27x86: unify arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.ldsLinus Torvalds
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: cleanup, unification ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-07-25inflate: refactor inflate malloc codeThomas Petazzoni
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.
