x86, efi: Fix processor-specific memcpy() build error

2012-12-03T19:37:55+00:00

commit 0f905a43ce955b638139bd84486194770a6a2c08 upstream.

Building for Athlon/Duron/K7 results in the following build error,

arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.o: In function `__constant_memcpy3d':
eboot.c:(.text+0x385): undefined reference to `_mmx_memcpy'
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.o: In function `efi_main':
eboot.c:(.text+0x1a22): undefined reference to `_mmx_memcpy'

because the boot stub code doesn't link with the kernel proper, and
therefore doesn't have access to the 3DNow version of memcpy. So,
follow the example of misc.c and #undef memcpy so that we use the
version provided by misc.c.

efi: Build EFI stub with EFI-appropriate options

2012-10-12T20:50:32+00:00

commit 9dead5bbb825d7c25c0400e61de83075046322d0 upstream.

We can't assume the presence of the red zone while we're still in a boot
services environment, so we should build with -fno-red-zone to avoid
problems. Change the size of wchar at the same time to make string handling
simpler.

x86, build: Globally set -fno-pic

2012-08-10T23:12:30+00:00

GCC built with nonstandard options can enable -fpic by default.
We never want this for 32-bit kernels and it will break the build.

[ hpa: Notably the Android toolchain apparently does this. ]

Merge branch 'x86-efi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2012-07-26T20:13:25+00:00

Pul x86/efi changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds an EFI bootloader handover protocol, which, once
  supported on the bootloader side, will make bootup faster and might
  result in simpler bootloaders.

  The other change activates the EFI wall clock time accessors on x86-64
  as well, instead of the legacy RTC readout."

x86, boot: Exclude cmdline.c if you can't use it

2012-07-21T18:07:39+00:00

CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is the only feature that might use command line
parsing in the decompression stage.  If it is disabled then we can
exclude the related code to save space. This can result in an estimated
space savings of 2240 bytes from the compressed kernel image.

x86, boot: Exclude early_serial_console.c if can't use it.

2012-07-21T18:07:34+00:00

Removes early_serial_console.c code if we don't have the config option that
enables it (EARLY_PRINTK). When disabling this code, make early_serial_base a
constant 0 to allow the compiler to optimize away the code that checks for
early_serial_base.

x86, boot: Removed unused debug flag and set code

2012-07-21T18:07:29+00:00

As we're no longer using the flag we don't need to extract the value from the
command line and store it. This is a step towards removing command line
parameter code.

x86, boot: Switch output functions from command-line flags to conditional compilation

2012-07-21T18:07:25+00:00

Changed putstr flagging from parameter to conditional compilation for puts,
debug_putstr, and error_putstr. This allows for space savings since most
configurations won't use this feature.
