2013-04-12x86: Fix rebuild with EFI_STUB enabledJan Beulich1-3/+2
commit 918708245e92941df16a634dc201b407d12bcd91 upstream. eboot.o and efi_stub_$(BITS).o didn't get added to "targets", and hence their .cmd files don't get included by the build machinery, leading to the files always getting rebuilt. Rather than adding the two files individually, take the opportunity and add $(VMLINUX_OBJS) to "targets" instead, thus allowing the assignment at the top of the file to be shrunk quite a bit. At the same time, remove a pointless flags override line - the variable assigned to was misspelled anyway, and the options added are meaningless for assembly sources.

2012-12-03x86, efi: Fix processor-specific memcpy() build errorMatt Fleming1-0/+2
commit 0f905a43ce955b638139bd84486194770a6a2c08 upstream. Building for Athlon/Duron/K7 results in the following build error, arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.o: In function `__constant_memcpy3d': eboot.c:(.text+0x385): undefined reference to `_mmx_memcpy' arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.o: In function `efi_main': eboot.c:(.text+0x1a22): undefined reference to `_mmx_memcpy' because the boot stub code doesn't link with the kernel proper, and therefore doesn't have access to the 3DNow version of memcpy. So, follow the example of misc.c and #undef memcpy so that we use the version provided by misc.c.

2012-05-18x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs toolH. Peter Anvin2-683/+4
A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

2012-04-16x86, efi: Add dedicated EFI stub entry pointMatt Fleming3-13/+38
The method used to work out whether we were booted by EFI firmware or via a boot loader is broken. Because efi_main() is always executed when booting from a boot loader we will dereference invalid pointers either on the stack (CONFIG_X86_32) or contained in %rdx (CONFIG_X86_64) when searching for an EFI System Table signature. Instead of dereferencing these invalid system table pointers, add a new entry point that is only used when booting from EFI firmware, when we know the pointer arguments will be valid. With this change legacy boot loaders will no longer execute efi_main(), but will instead skip EFI stub initialisation completely.

2012-03-22x86, boot: Correct CFLAGS for hostprogsH. Peter Anvin1-3/+3
This is a partial revert of commit: d40f833 "Restrict CFLAGS for hostprogs" The endian-manipulation macros in tools/include need <linux/types.h>, but the hostprogs in arch/x86/boot need several headers from the kernel build tree, which means we have to add the kernel headers to the include path. This picks up <linux/types.h> from the kernel tree, which gives a warning. Since this use of <linux/types.h> is intentional, add -D__EXPORTED_HEADERS__ to the command line to silence the warning. A better way to fix this would be to always install the exported kernel headers into $(objtree)/usr/include as a standard part of the kernel build, but that is a lot more involved.

It would appear that we never actually generated a correct CRC when building on a bigendian machine. Depending on the word size, we would either generate an all-zero CRC (64-bit machine) or a byte-swapped CRC (32-bit machine.)

2012-02-28x86, efi: Fix endian issues and unaligned accessesMatt Fleming1-16/+15
We may need to convert the endianness of the data we read from/write to 'buf', so let's use {get,put}_unaligned_le32() to do that. Failure to do so can result in accessing invalid memory, leading to a segfault. Stephen Rothwell noticed this bug while cross-building an x86_64 allmodconfig kernel on PowerPC. We need to read from and write to 'buf' a byte at a time otherwise it's possible we'll perform an unaligned access, which can lead to bus errors when cross-building an x86 kernel on risc architectures.

2011-12-12x86, efi: EFI boot stub supportMatt Fleming11-1/+1453
There is currently a large divide between kernel development and the development of EFI boot loaders. The idea behind this patch is to give the kernel developers full control over the EFI boot process. As H. Peter Anvin put it, "The 'kernel carries its own stub' approach been very successful in dealing with BIOS, and would make a lot of sense to me for EFI as well." This patch introduces an EFI boot stub that allows an x86 bzImage to be loaded and executed by EFI firmware. The bzImage appears to the firmware as an EFI application. Luckily there are enough free bits within the bzImage header so that it can masquerade as an EFI application, thereby coercing the EFI firmware into loading it and jumping to its entry point. The beauty of this masquerading approach is that both BIOS and EFI boot loaders can still load and run the same bzImage, thereby allowing a single kernel image to work in any boot environment. The EFI boot stub supports multiple initrds, but they must exist on the same partition as the bzImage. Command-line arguments for the kernel can be appended after the bzImage name when run from the EFI shell, e.g. Shell> bzImage console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sdb initrd=initrd.img v7: - Fix checkpatch warnings. v6: - Try to allocate initrd memory just below hdr->inird_addr_max. v5: - load_options_size is UTF-16, which needs dividing by 2 to convert to the corresponding ASCII size. v4: - Don't read more than image->load_options_size v3: - Fix following warnings when compiling CONFIG_EFI_STUB=n arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c: In function ‘main’: arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:24: warning: unused variable ‘pe_header’ arch/x86/boot/tools/build.c:138:15: warning: unused variable ‘file_sz’ - As reported by Matthew Garrett, some Apple machines have GOPs that don't have hardware attached. We need to weed these out by searching for ones that handle the PCIIO protocol. - Don't allocate memory if no initrds are on cmdline - Don't trust image->load_options_size Maarten Lankhorst noted: - Don't strip first argument when booted from efibootmgr - Don't allocate too much memory for cmdline - Don't update cmdline_size, the kernel considers it read-only - Don't accept '\n' for initrd names v2: - File alignment was too large, was 8192 should be 512.

This enables the decompressor output to be seen on the serial console. Most of the code is shared with the regular boot code. We could add printf to the decompressor if needed, but currently there is no sufficiently compelling user. -v2: define BOOT_BOOT_H to avoid include boot.h -v3: early_serial_base need to be static in misc.c ? -v4: create seperate string.c printf.c cmdline.c early_serial_console.c after hpa's patch that allow global variables in compressed/misc stage -v5: remove printf.c related Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H.

This patch adds serial I/O support to the real-mode setup (very early boot) printf(). It's useful for debugging boot code when running Linux under KVM, for example.

2010-05-26Revert "endian: #define __BYTE_ORDER"Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
This reverts commit b3b77c8caef1750ebeea1054e39e358550ea9f55, which was also totally broken (see commit 0d2daf5cc858 that reverted the crc32 version of it). As reported by Stephen Rothwell, it causes problems on big-endian machines: > In file included from fs/jfs/jfs_types.h:33, > from fs/jfs/jfs_incore.h:26, > from fs/jfs/file.c:22: > fs/jfs/endian24.h:36:101: warning: "__LITTLE_ENDIAN" is not defined The kernel has never had that crazy "__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN" model.

2010-05-25endian: #define __BYTE_ORDERJoakim Tjernlund1-2/+2
Linux does not define __BYTE_ORDER in its endian header files which makes some header files bend backwards to get at the current endian. Lets #define __BYTE_ORDER in big_endian.h/litte_endian.h to make it easier for header files that are used in user space too. In userspace the convention is that 1. _both_ __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined, 2. you have to test for e.g. __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN.

2010-02-19x86, setup: Don't skip mode setting for the standard VGA modesH. Peter Anvin1-8/+1
The code for setting standard VGA modes probes for the current mode, and skips the mode setting if the mode is 3 (color text 80x25) or 7 (mono text 80x25). Unfortunately, there are BIOSes, including the VMware BIOS, which report the previous mode if function 0F is queried while the screen is in a VESA mode, and of course, nothing can help a mode poked directly into the hardware. As such, the safe option is to set the mode anyway, and only query to see if we should be using mode 7 rather than mode 3. People who don't want any mode setting at all should probably use vga=0x0f04 (VIDEO_CURRENT_MODE). It's possible that should be the kernel default.

2010-02-17x86, setup: When restoring the screen, update boot_params.screen_infoH. Peter Anvin1-0/+7
When we restore the screen content after a mode change, we return the cursor to its former position. However, we need to also update boot_params.screen_info accordingly, so that the decompression code knows where on the screen the cursor is. Just in case the video BIOS does something extra screwy, read the cursor position back from the BIOS instead of relying on it doing the right thing. While we're at it, make sure we cap the cursor position to the new screen coordinates.
