2008-01-30x86 setup: use X86_CR0_PE macro instead of hard-coded constantH. Peter Anvin
To set CR0.PE, use the X86_CR0_PE macro defined in <asm/processor-flags.h> instead of hardcoding it as a constant (1). Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86 setup: initialize LDTR and TR to make life easier to Intel VTH. Peter Anvin
Intel VT doesn't like to engage when the protected-mode state isn't fully initialized. Make life easier for it by initializing LDTR (to null) and TR (to a dummy hunk of low memory which will never actually be touched.) Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86 setup: make PM transition more paranoid; cleanup 32-bit entryH. Peter Anvin
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.

2007-11-04x86 setup: set %ebx == %ebp == %edi == 0 on protected mode entryH. Peter Anvin
In accordance with the newly formalized 32-bit boot protocol, set %ebx == %ebp == %edi == 0 in order to support future extensions to the protocol. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-11-04x86 setup: add a near jump to serialize %cr0 on 386/486H. Peter Anvin
The 386 and 486 needs a jump immediately after setting %cr0 in order to serialize the pipeline. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
