* edd: add default mode CONFIG_EDD_OFF=n, override with edd={on,off}Tim Gardner2008-04-291-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive Services. CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into the kernel. Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as a kernel parameter.

* x86: cleanup boot-heap usageAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-193-22/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems, but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.

* x86: remove superfluous initialisation in boot code.Alexander van Heukelum2008-04-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c, the variable vidmem is the only variable that ends up in de data segment. It's also superfluous, because the first thing the code does is: if (RM_SCREEN_INFO.orig_video_mode == 7) { vidmem = (char *) 0xb0000; vidport = 0x3b4; } else { vidmem = (char *) 0xb8000; vidport = 0x3d4; } This patch removes the initialisation.

* x86-boot: don't request VBE2 informationPeter Korsgaard2008-03-072-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

The old setup code didn't ask for VBE2 info, and the new code doesn't actually do anything with the extra information, so the fix is to simply not request it.

* x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAPH. Peter Anvin2008-02-261-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The GDT_ENTRY() macro in pm.c would incorrectly cut the bottom 8 bits off the base. We didn't define any bases with the bottom 8 bits nonzero, so it is a non-manifest bug, but it's still a bug. Pointed out by John Smith <johnsmith9344@gmail.com>.

| | | | | | | | | | | If we use the bootloader-provided stack pointer, we might end up in a situation where the bootloader (incorrectly) pointed the stack in the middle of our heap.

* x86 setup: be more verbose when probing EDDdevzero@web.de2008-01-301-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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