2008-03-07x86-boot: don't request VBE2 informationPeter Korsgaard
The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f120) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data. Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

2008-02-26x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAPH. Peter Anvin
The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code in this case. To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820 chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test for CF = 1 before the SMAP check. This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to spec. Signed-off-by: H.

In arch/x86/boot/printf.c gets rid of unused tail of digits: const char *digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; (we are using 0-9a-f only) Uses smaller/faster lowercasing (by ORing with 0x20) if we know that we work on numbers/digits. Makes strtoul smaller, and also we are getting rid of static const char small_digits[] = "0123456789abcdefx"; static const char large_digits[] = "0123456789ABCDEFX"; since this works equally well: static const char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF"; Size savings: $ size vmlinux.org vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 877320 112252 90112 1079684 107984 vmlinux.org 877048 112252 90112 1079412 107874 vmlinux It may be also a tiny bit faster because code has less branches now, but I doubt it is measurable.

2008-01-30x86 setup: be more verbose when probing EDDdevzero@web.de
On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message. Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda) There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too. This patch is adds an informational message on early boot. CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m) so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays. I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end- user to find out, what`s the issue. For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset. This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

2008-01-30x86 setup: make PM transition more paranoid; cleanup 32-bit entryH. Peter Anvin
Make the transition to protected mode more paranoid by having back-to-back near jump (to synchronize the 386/486 prefetch queue) and far jump (to set up the code segment.) While we're at it, zero as many registers as practical (for future expandability of the 32-bit entry interface) and enter 32-bit mode with a valid stack. Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit entrypoint, but it may make debugging hacks easier to write. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)H. Peter Anvin
The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot loader. This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time field. Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself. Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override.Rene Herman
x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override. Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these. David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine, with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger. Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the 2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has two problems. First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which would sort of work, but... Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has. It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus locking outb. Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such, this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems to fit that situation. This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override the DMI based choice again: io_delay=<standard|alternate> where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate" port 0xed. This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well. This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot code be. The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z. This patch is partly based on earlier patches from Pavel Machek and David P. Reed.

2007-11-28x86 setup: don't recalculate ss:esp unless really necessaryJens Rottmann
In order to work around old LILO versions providing an invalid ss register, the current setup code always sets up a new stack, immediately following .bss and the heap. But this breaks LOADLIN. This rewrite of the workaround checks for an invalid stack (ss!=ds) first, and leaves ss:sp alone otherwise (apart from aligning esp). [hpa note: LOADLIN has a number of arbitrary hard-coded limits that are being pushed up against. Without some major revision of LOADLIN itself it will not be sustainable keeping it alive. This gives it another brief lease on life, however. This patch also helps the cmdline truncation problem with old versions of SYSLINUX.] Signed-off-by: Jens Rottmann <JRottmann at LiPPERT-AT. de> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
