* 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.

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

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

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

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

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: convert compressed loader to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.Tim Abbott2009-09-183-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | 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.
