17a2a9b57a x86, compress: Force i386 instructions for the decompressor
Recently, some distros have started shipping versions of gcc which
default to -march=i686.  This breaks building kernels for pre-i686
machines, even if they have been selected in Kconfig, due to the
generation of CMOV instructions.

There isn't enough benefit to try to preserve the generation of these
instructions even when selected, so simply force -march=i386 for the
decompressor when building a 32-bit kernel.

873b5271f8 x86: Regex support and known-movable symbols for relocs, fix _end
This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols
which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as
absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script,
which currently applies to _end.

Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty
section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections
completely.

This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions
instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns.

This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the
relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this 	is
basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have
thus been well tested.

350f8f5631 x86: Eliminate redundant/contradicting cache line size config options
Rather than having X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES and X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT
(with inconsistent defaults), just having the latter suffices as
the former can be easily calculated from it.

To be consistent, also change X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES to
X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, and set it to 7 (128 bytes) for NUMA
to account for last level cache line size (which here matters
more than L1 cache line size).

Finally, make sure the default value for X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT,
when X86_GENERIC is selected, is being seen before that for the
individual CPU model options (other than on x86-64, where
GENERIC_CPU is part of the choice construct, X86_GENERIC is a
separate option on ix86).

caa27b66bd kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

  0f8e2d62fa
  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

1dc818c1c5 x86: convert compressed loader to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.
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.

46176b4f6b x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entries
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.

[ Impact: fix build with certain binutils by ignoring R_386_NONE ]

bca23dba76 x86, setup: revert ACPI 3 E820 extended attributes support
Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support.  At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24.  This bug may be present in other BIOSes.

The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence.  Therefore, drop support completely.  We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.

This reverts all or part of the following checkins:

     cd670599b7
     c549e71d07

However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround.  Put in a
comment to explain that part.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some
additional information.

7ed42a28b2 x86, boot: correct sanity checks in boot/compressed/misc.c
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.

5031296c57 x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and version
A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header.  Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version.  This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.

Add extension fields for both type and version.  The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.

Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

37ba7ab5e3 x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields
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.

36d3793c94 x86, boot: use appropriate rep string for move and clear
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.

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.)

5b11f1cee5 x86, boot: straighten out ranges to copy/zero in compressed/head*.S
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.

51b26ada79 x86: unify arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds
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 ;)
