 "The biggest changes in this cycle were:

   - reworking of the e820 code: separate in-kernel and boot-ABI data
     structures and apply a whole range of cleanups to the kernel side.

     No change in functionality.

   - enable KASLR by default: it's used by all major distros and it's
     out of the experimental stage as well.

   - ... misc fixes and cleanups"

It is called start_sys_seg elsewhere so rename it to that. It is an
obsolete field so we could just as well directly call it __u16 __pad...

No functional change.

<title>efi: Get and store the secure boot status</title>

Get the firmware's secure-boot status in the kernel boot wrapper and stash
it somewhere that the main kernel image can find.

The efi_get_secureboot() function is extracted from the ARM stub and (a)
generalised so that it can be called from x86 and (b) made to use
efi_call_runtime() so that it can be run in mixed-mode.

For x86, it is stored in boot_params and can be overridden by the boot
loader or kexec.  This allows secure-boot mode to be passed on to a new
kernel.

<title>x86/boot/e820: Separate the E820 ABI structures from the in-kernel structures</title>

Linus pointed out that relying on the compiler to pack structures with
enums is fragile not just for the kernel, but for external tooling as
well which might rely on our UAPI headers.

So separate the two from each other: introduce 'struct boot_e820_entry',
which is the boot protocol entry format.

This actually simplifies the code, as e820__update_table() is now never
called directly with boot protocol table entries - we can rely on
append_e820_table() and do a e820__update_table() call afterwards.

( This will allow further simplifications of __e820__update_table(),
  but that will be done in a separate patch. )

This change also has the side effect of not modifying the bootparams structure
anymore - which might be useful for debugging. In theory we could even constify
the boot_params structure - at least from the E820 code's point of view.

Remove the uapi/asm/e820/types.h file, as it's not used anymore - all
kernel side E820 types are defined in asm/e820/types.h.

<title>x86/boot/e820: Clean up the E820 table size define names</title>

<id>08b46d5dd869ea631d7c1c15535c930c8ea462e0</id>
<content type='text'>
We've got a number of defines related to the E820 table and its size:

	E820MAP
	E820NR
	E820_X_MAX
	E820MAX

The first two denote byte offsets into the zeropage (struct boot_params),
and can are not used in the kernel and can be removed.

The E820_*_MAX values have an inconsistent structure and it's unclear in any
case what they mean. 'X' presuably goes for extended - but it's not very
expressive altogether.

Change these over to:

	E820_MAX_ENTRIES_ZEROPAGE
	E820_MAX_ENTRIES

... which are self-explanatory names.

No change in functionality.

In line with the rename to 'struct e820_array', harmonize the naming of common e820
table variable names as well:

 e820          =&gt;  e820_array
 e820_saved    =&gt;  e820_array_saved
 e820_map      =&gt;  e820_array
 initial_e820  =&gt;  e820_array_init

This makes the variable names more consistent  and easier to grep for.

No change in functionality.

<title>x86/boot/e820: Rename the basic e820 data types to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array'</title>

<content type='text'>
The 'e820entry' and 'e820map' names have various annoyances:

 - the missing underscore departs from the usual kernel style
   and makes the code look weird,

 - in the past I kept confusing the 'map' with the 'entry', because
   a 'map' is ambiguous in that regard,

 - it's not really clear from the 'e820map' that this is a regular
   C array.

Rename them to 'struct e820_entry' and 'struct e820_array' accordingly.

( Leave the legacy UAPI header alone but do the rename in the bootparam.h
  and e820/types.h file - outside tools relying on these defines should
  either adjust their code, or should use the legacy header, or should
  create their private copies for the definitions. )

No change in functionality.

bootparam.h, which defines the legacy 'zeropage' boot parameter area,
requires a small amount of e280 defines in the UAPI space - provide them.

No change in functionality.
