* x86: support XZ-compressed kernelLasse Collin2011-01-133-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This integrates the XZ decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code. mkpiggy.c is updated to reserve about 32 KiB more buffer safety margin for kernel decompression. It is done unconditionally for all decompressors to keep the code simpler. The XZ decompressor needs around 30 KiB of heap, so the heap size is increased to 32 KiB on both x86-32 and x86-64. Documentation/x86/boot.txt is updated to list the XZ magic number. With the x86 BCJ filter in XZ, XZ-compressed x86 kernel tends to be a few percent smaller than the equivalent LZMA-compressed kernel. Signed-off-by: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@tukaani.org> Cc: "H.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | A relocatable kernel can be anywhere in lowmem -- and in the case of a kdump kernel, is likely to be fairly high. Since the early page tables map everything from address zero up we need to make sure we allocate enough brk that we can map all of lowmem if we need to.

* x86, setup: Use string copy operation to optimze copy in kernel compressionZhao Yakui2010-10-071-6/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel decompression code parses the ELF header and then copies the segment to the corresponding destination. Currently it uses slow byte-copy code. This patch makes it use the string copy operations instead. In the test the copy performance can be improved very significantly after using the string copy operation mechanism. 1. The copy time can be reduced from 150ms to 20ms on one Atom machine 2. The copy time can be reduced about 80% on another machine The time is reduced from 7ms to 1.5ms when using 32-bit kernel. The time is reduced from 10ms to 2ms when using 64-bit kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

While we're at it, make sure we cap the cursor position to the new screen coordinates.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * x86: Eliminate redundant/contradicting cache line size config optionsJan Beulich2009-11-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* | kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel scriptSam Ravnborg2009-09-201-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.
