2009-08-29x86: Fix earlyprintk=dbgp for machines without NXJan Beulich1-0/+10
Since parse_early_param() may (e.g. for earlyprintk=dbgp) involve calls to page table manipulation functions (here set_fixmap_nocache()), NX hardware support must be determined before calling that function (so that __supported_pte_mask gets properly set up). But the call after parse_early_param() can also not go away, as that will honor eventual command line specified disabling of the NX functionality. ( This will then just result in whatever mappings got established during parse_early_param() having the NX bit set despite it being disabled on the command line, but I think that's tolerable).

2009-08-21x86: Fix system crash when loading with "reservetop" parameterXiao Guangrong1-5/+5
The system will die if the kernel is booted with "reservetop" parameter, in present code, parse "reservetop" parameter after early_ioremap_init(), and some function still use early_ioremap() after it. The problem is, "reservetop" parameter can modify 'FIXADDR_TOP', then the virtual address got by early_ioremap() is base on old 'FIXADDR_TOP', but the page mapping is base on new 'FIXADDR_TOP', it will occur page fault, and the IDT is not prepare yet, so, the system is dead. So, put parse_early_param() in the front of early_ioremap_init() in this patch.

2009-07-21x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT boot supportJoseph Cihula1-0/+4
This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT). Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms. Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT). Intel TXT in Brief: o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM) o Data protection in case of improper shutdown o Measurement and verification of launched environment Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems based on the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45 Express chipsets. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/. This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which has been updated for the new released platforms. A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file in this patch. This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality, documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure, and boot detection of a TXT launch. Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes properly.

2009-06-23x86: Move init_gbpages() to setup_arch()Pekka J Enberg1-0/+16
The init_gbpages() function is conditionally called from init_memory_mapping() function. There are two call-sites where this 'after_bootmem' condition can be true: setup_arch() and mem_init() via pci_iommu_alloc(). Therefore, it's safe to move the call to init_gbpages() to setup_arch() as it's always called before mem_init(). This removes an after_bootmem use - paving the way to remove all uses of that state variable.

2009-05-11x86: add extension fields for bootloader type and versionH. Peter Anvin1-2/+8
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.

2009-03-14x86: allow extend_brk users to reserve brk spaceJeremy Fitzhardinge1-0/+2
Impact: new interface; remove hard-coded limit Add RESERVE_BRK(name, size) macro to reserve space in the brk area. This should be a conservative (ie, larger) estimate of how much space might possibly be required from the brk area. Any unused space will be freed, so there's no real downside on making the reservation too large (within limits). The name should be unique within a given file, and somewhat descriptive. The C definition of RESERVE_BRK() ends up being more complex than one would expect to work around a cluster of gcc infelicities: The first attempt was to simply try putting __section(.brk_reservation) on a variable. This doesn't work because it ends up making it a @progbits section, which gets actual space allocated in the vmlinux executable. The second attempt was to emit the space into a section using asm, but gcc doesn't allow arguments to be passed to file-level asm() statements, making it hard to pass in the size. The final attempt is to wrap the asm() in a function to allow it to have arguments, and put the function itself into the .discard section, which vmlinux*.lds drops entirely from the emitted vmlinux.

2009-03-14x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocationsJeremy Fitzhardinge1-5/+34
Impact: new interface Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never get used. The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or something into it. The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area (__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved up to __bss_stop. Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory. Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general kernel memory pool. Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk, there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

2009-03-05x86: pre-initialize boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to avoid system_state testsJeremy Fitzhardinge1-1/+3
Impact: cleanup, micro-optimization Pre-initialize boot_cpu_data.x86_phys_bits to a reasonable default to remove the use of system_state tests in __virt_addr_valid() and __phys_addr(). Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-03-04x86: fix DMI on EFIBrian Maly1-2/+3
Impact: reactivate DMI quirks on EFI hardware DMI tables are loaded by EFI, so the dmi calls must happen after efi_init() and not before. Currently Apple hardware uses DMI to determine the framebuffer mappings for efifb. Without DMI working you also have no video on MacBook Pro. This patch resolves the DMI issue for EFI hardware (DMI is now properly detected at boot), and additionally efifb now loads on Apple hardware (i.e. video works).

2009-02-26x86: don't compile vsmp_64 for 32bitYinghai Lu1-2/+0
Impact: cleanup that is only needed when CONFIG_X86_VSMP is defined with 64bit also remove dead code about PCI, because CONFIG_X86_VSMP depends on PCI Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@scalex86.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-26x86: remove update_apic from x86_quirksYinghai Lu1-13/+1
Impact: cleanup x86_quirks->update_apic() calling looks crazy. so try to remove it: 1. every apic take wakeup_cpu member directly 2. separate es7000_apic to es7000_apic_cluster 3. use uv_wakeup_cpu directly Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-23x86: refactor x86_quirks supportIngo Molnar1-11/+12
Impact: cleanup Make x86_quirks support more transparent. The highlevel methods are now named: extern void x86_quirk_pre_intr_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_intr_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_trap_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_pre_time_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_time_init(void); This makes it clear that if some platform extension has to do something here that it is considered ... weird, and is discouraged. Also remove arch_hooks.h and move it into setup.h (and other header files where appropriate). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-23x86: remove various unused subarch hooksIngo Molnar1-34/+0
