edd: add default mode CONFIG_EDD_OFF=n, override with edd={on,off}

2008-04-29T15:06:23+00:00

Add a kernel parameter option to 'edd' to enable/disable BIOS Enhanced Disk
Drive Services.  CONFIG_EDD_OFF disables EDD while still compiling EDD into
the kernel.  Default behavior can be forced using 'edd=on' or 'edd=off' as
a kernel parameter.

x86, boot: add linked list of struct setup_data

2008-04-26T19:34:42+00:00

This patch adds a field of 64-bit physical pointer to NULL terminated
single linked list of struct setup_data to real-mode kernel
header. This is used as a more extensible boot parameters passing
mechanism.

x86: cleanup boot-heap usage

2008-04-19T17:19:54+00:00

The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the
end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems,
but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very
least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you
count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch
moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.

x86: move suspend wakeup code to C

2008-04-17T15:41:37+00:00

Move wakeup code to .c, so that video mode setting code can be shared
between boot and wakeup. Remove nasty assembly code in 64-bit case by
re-using trampoline code. Stack setup was fixed to clear high 16bits
of %esp, maybe that fixes some machines.

.c code sharing and morse code was done H. Peter Anvin, Sam Ravnborg
reviewed kbuild related stuff, and it seems okay to him. Rafael did
some cleanups.

[rjw:
* Made the patch stop breaking compilation on x86-32
* Added arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.h
* Got rid of compiler warnings in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.c
* Fixed 32-bit compilation on x86-64 systems
* Added include/asm-x86/trampoline.h and fixed the non-SMP
  compilation on 64-bit x86
* Removed arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep_32.c which was not used
* Fixed some breakage caused by the integration of smpboot.c done
  under us in the meantime]
