x86/boot: #undef memcpy() et al in string.c

2017-07-25T09:13:55+00:00

undef memcpy() and friends in boot/string.c so that the functions
defined here will have the correct names, otherwise we end up
up trying to redefine __builtin_memcpy() etc.

Surprisingly, GCC allows this (and, helpfully, discards the
__builtin_ prefix from the function name when compiling it),
but clang does not.

Adding these #undef's appears to preserve what I assume was
the original intent of the code.

x86/KASLR: Parse all 'memmap=' boot option entries

2017-05-24T07:50:27+00:00

In commit:

  f28442497b5c ("x86/boot: Fix KASLR and memmap= collision")

... the memmap= option is parsed so that KASLR can avoid those reserved
regions. It uses cmdline_find_option() to get the value if memmap=
is specified, however the problem is that cmdline_find_option() can only
find the last entry if multiple memmap entries are provided. This
is not correct.

Address this by checking each command line token for a "memmap=" match
and parse each instance instead of using cmdline_find_option().

x86/boot: Fix KASLR and memmap= collision

2017-01-25T11:35:50+00:00

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y relocates the kernel to a random base address.

However it does not take into account the memmap= parameter passed in from
the kernel command line. This results in the kernel sometimes being put in
the middle of memmap.

Teach KASLR to not insert the kernel in memmap defined regions. We support
up to 4 memmap regions: any additional regions will cause KASLR to disable.

The mem_avoid set has been augmented to add up to 4 unusable regions of
memmaps provided by the user to exclude those regions from the set of valid
address range to insert the uncompressed kernel image.

The nn@ss ranges will be skipped by the mem_avoid set since it indicates
that memory is useable.

x86/boot: Add missing declaration of string functions

2017-01-09T10:53:05+00:00

Add the missing declarations of basic string functions to string.h to allow
a clean build.

x86, asm: use bool for bitops and other assembly outputs

2016-06-08T19:41:20+00:00

The gcc people have confirmed that using "bool" when combined with
inline assembly always is treated as a byte-sized operand that can be
assumed to be 0 or 1, which is exactly what the SET instruction
emits.  Change the output types and intermediate variables of as many
operations as practical to "bool".

x86/boot: Standardize strcmp()

2015-03-23T09:24:12+00:00

strcmp() is always expected to return 0 when arguments are equal,
negative when its first argument @str1 is less than its second argument
@str2 and a positive value otherwise. Previously strcmp("a", "b")
returned 1. Now it gives -1, as it is supposed to.

Until now this bug never triggered, because all uses for strcmp() in the
boot code tested for nonzero:

  triton:~/tip> git grep strcmp arch/x86/boot/
  arch/x86/boot/boot.h:int strcmp(const char *str1, const char *str2);
  arch/x86/boot/edd.c:            if (!strcmp(eddarg, "skipmbr") || !strcmp(eddarg, "skip")) {
  arch/x86/boot/edd.c:            else if (!strcmp(eddarg, "off"))
  arch/x86/boot/edd.c:            else if (!strcmp(eddarg, "on"))

should in the future strcmp() be used in a comparative way in the boot
code, it might have led to (not so subtle) bugs.

x86, boot: Remove misc.h inclusion from compressed/string.c

2014-05-08T15:00:06+00:00

Given the fact that we removed inclusion of boot.h from boot/string.c
does not look like we need misc.h inclusion in compressed/string.c. So
remove it.

misc.h was also pulling in string_32.h which in turn had macros for
memcmp and memcpy. So we don't need to #undef memcmp and memcpy anymore.

x86, boot: Do not include boot.h in string.c

2014-05-08T15:00:01+00:00

string.c does not require whole of boot.h. Just inclusion of linux/types.h
and ctypes.h seems to be sufficient.

Keep list of stuff being included in string.c to bare minimal so that
string.c can be included in other places easily.

For example, Currently boot/compressed/string.c includes boot/string.c
but looks like it does not want boot/boot.h. Hence there is a define
in boot/compressed/misc.h "define BOOT_BOOT_H" which prevents inclusion
of boot.h in compressed/string.c. And compressed/string.c is forced to
include misc.h just for that reason.

So by removing inclusion of boot.h, we can also get rid of inclusion of
misch.h in compressed/misc.c.

This also enables including of boot/string.c in purgatory/ code relatively
easily.

x86, boot: Move memcmp() into string.h and string.c

2014-03-19T22:44:04+00:00

Try to treat memcmp() in same way as memcpy() and memset(). Provide a
declaration in boot/string.h and by default user gets a memcmp() which
maps to builtin function.

Move optimized definition of memcmp() in boot/string.c. Now a user can
do #undef memcmp and link against string.c to use optimzied memcmp().

It also simplifies boot/compressed/string.c where we had to redefine
memcmp(). That extra definition is gone now.
