x86: consolidate header guards

2008-07-22T19:31:34+00:00

This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.

The format:

1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
   distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
   underscores.

x86: move reserve_setup_data to setup.c

2008-07-08T11:16:14+00:00

Ying Huang would like setup_data to be reserved, but not included in the
no save range.

Here we try to modify the e820 table to reserve that range early.
also add that in early_res in case bootloader messes up with the ramdisk.

other solution would be
1. add early_res_to_highmem...
2. early_res_to_e820...
but they could reserve another type memory wrongly, if early_res has some
resource reserved early, and not needed later, but it is not removed from
early_res in time. Like the RAMDISK (already handled).

x86 boot: pass E820 memory map entries more than 128 via linked list of setup data

2008-07-08T08:37:39+00:00

Because of the size limits of struct boot_params (zero page), the
maximum number of E820 memory map entries can be passed to kernel is
128. As pointed by Paul Jackson, there is some machine produced by SGI
with so many nodes that the number of E820 memory map entries is more
than 128. To enabling Linux kernel on these system, a new setup data
type named SETUP_E820_EXT is defined to pass additional memory map
entries to Linux kernel.

This patch is based on x86/auto-latest branch of git-x86 tree and has
been tested on x86_64 and i386 platform.

x86: Honor 'quiet' command line option in real mode boot decompressor.

2008-05-31T00:00:47+00:00

This patch lets the early real mode code look for the 'quiet' option
on the kernel command line and pass a loadflag to the decompressor.
When this flag is set, we suppress the "Decompressing Linux... Parsing
ELF... done." messages.

x86: fix up bootparam.h for userspace inclusion

commit 8b664aa66e824a0ddf4ec56d41fa0cf7bb374de6 (x86, boot: add linked
list of struct setup_data) put a new struct in bootparam.h, but didn't
use the userspace-safe types.

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.
