2007-10-27x86: Fix boot protocol KEEP_SEGMENTS check.Eric W. Biederman
The kernel only ever supports 1 version of the boot protocol so there is no need to check the boot protocol revision to see if a feature is supported. Both x86 and x86_64 support the same boot protocol so we need to implement the KEEP_SEGMENTS on x86_64 as well. It isn't just paravirt bootloaders that could use this functionality.

2007-10-25x86 setup: sizeof() is unsigned, unbreak comparisonsH. Peter Anvin
We use signed values for limit checking since the values can go negative under certain circumstances. However, sizeof() is unsigned and forces the comparison to be unsigned, so move the comparison into the heap_free() macros so we can ensure it is a signed comparison. Signed-off-by: H.

2007-10-25x86 setup: handle boot loaders which set up the stack incorrectlyH. Peter Anvin
Apparently some specific versions of LILO enter the kernel with a stack pointer that doesn't match the rest of the segments. Make our best attempt at untangling the resulting mess. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-10-23x86: clean up setup.h and the boot codeH. Peter Anvin
Make <asm/setup.h> usable by the boot code. Clean up vestiges of the old command-line protocol from setup.h and head_32.S (it is still supported from the boot loader point of view, since it is converted to the new command-line protocol by the boot code.)

2007-10-22i386: paravirt boot sequenceRusty Russell
This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot. If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things: 1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but inapproprate for others. 2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we simply do the normal boot sequence.

2007-10-16[x86] remove uses of magic macros for boot_params accessH. Peter Anvin
Instead of using magic macros for boot_params access, simply use the boot_params structure. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2007-10-16x86: fix boot error introduced by kbuildSam Ravnborg
x86 uses target specific assignment of EXTRA_AFLAGS, EXTRA_CFLAGS - this caused troubles with introducing asflags-y, ccflags-y. Fixed the target specific assignments in arch/x86/boot/Makefile and auditted the rest of the kernel for similar usage. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2007-10-15kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to ASSam Ravnborg
The variable AFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of AFLAGS with KBUILD_AFLAGS all over the tree. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2007-10-14kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CCSam Ravnborg
The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CFLAGS=... to specify additional gcc commandline options. One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check that nothing got rebuild.
