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.

x86, boot: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions

2014-03-19T22:43:45+00:00

Create a separate arch/x86/boot/string.h file to provide declaration of some of the common string functions. By default memcpy, memset and memcmp functions will default to gcc builtin functions. If code wants to use an optimized version of any of these functions, they need to #undef the respective macro and link against a local file providing definition of undefed function. For example, arch/x86/boot/* code links against copy.S to get memcpy() and memcmp() definitions. arch/86/boot/compressed/* links against compressed/string.c. There are quite a few places in arch/x86/ where these functions are used. Idea is to try to consilidate their declaration and possibly definitions so that it can be reused. I am planning to reuse boot/string.h in arch/x86/purgatory/ and use gcc builtin functions for memcpy, memset and memcmp.

x86, boot: Move CPU flags out of cpucheck

2013-10-13T10:12:02+00:00

Refactor the CPU flags handling out of the cpucheck routines so that they can be reused by the future ASLR routines (in order to detect CPU features like RDRAND and RDTSC). This reworks has_eflag() and has_fpu() to be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit, and refactors the calls to cpuid to make them PIC-safe on 32-bit.

x86, boot: Fix warning due to undeclared strlen()

2013-08-13T18:27:39+00:00

Below is a patch that fixes sparse error "arch/x86/boot/string.c:119:8: warning: symbol 'strlen' was not declared." by declaring it in arch/x86/boot/boot.h.

x86, boot: Pass cmd_line_ptr with unsigned long instead

2013-01-29T23:26:09+00:00

boot/compressed/misc.c is used for bzImage in 64bit and 32bit, and cmd_line_ptr could point to buffer that is above 4g, cmd_line_ptr should be 64bit otherwise high 32bit will be capped out. So need to change data type to unsigned long, that will be 64bit get correct address of command line buffer. And it is still ok with 32bit bzImage, because unsigned long on 32bit kernel is still 32bit.

x86, boot: Move checking of cmd_line_ptr out of common path

2013-01-29T23:26:01+00:00

cmdline.c::__cmdline_find_option... are shared between 16-bit setup code and 32/64 bit decompressor code. for 32/64 only path via kexec, we should not check if ptr is less 1M. as those cmdline could be put above 1M, or even 4G. Move out accessible checking out of __cmdline_find_option() So decompressor in misc.c can parse cmdline correctly.

x86, boot: Fix port argument to inl() function

x86, setup: move isdigit.h to ctype.h, header files on top.

2010-08-03T04:07:20+00:00

It is a subset of functionality, so name it ctype.h. Also, reorganize header files so #include statements are clustered near the top as they should be. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin LKML-Reference: <4C5752F2.8030206@kernel.org>

x86, setup: reorganize the early console setup

2010-08-02T22:51:56+00:00

Separate early_serial_console from tty.c This allows for reuse of early_serial_console.c/string.c/printf.c/cmdline.c in boot/compressed/. -v2: according to hpa, don't include string.c etc -v3: compressed/misc.c must have early_serial_base as static, so move it back to tty.c for setup code Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu LKML-Reference: <4C568D2B.205@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H.

x86, setup: Early-boot serial I/O support

2010-07-12T21:46:00+00:00

This patch adds serial I/O support to the real-mode setup (very early boot) printf(). It's useful for debugging boot code when running Linux under KVM, for example. The actual code was lifted from early printk.
