x86/boot: Simplify the detect_memory*() control flow

2018-11-06T20:05:01+00:00

The return values of these functions are not used - so simplify the functions. No change in functionality.

x86: Clean up 'sizeof x' => 'sizeof(x)'

2018-10-29T06:13:28+00:00

"sizeof(x)" is the canonical coding style used in arch/x86 most of the time. Fix the few places that didn't follow the convention. (Also do some whitespace cleanups in a few places while at it.)

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

2017-01-29T12:39:32+00:00

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.

x86/boot/e820: Rename 'e820_map' variables to 'e820_array'

2017-01-28T08:33:15+00:00

In line with the rename to 'struct e820_array', harmonize the naming of common e820 table variable names as well: e820 => e820_array e820_saved => e820_array_saved e820_map => e820_array initial_e820 => e820_array_init This makes the variable names more consistent and easier to grep for.

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

2017-01-28T08:33:14+00:00

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.

x86, setup: When probing memory with e801, use ax/bx as a pair

2011-04-25T21:52:37+00:00

When we use BIOS function e801 to probe memory, we should use ax/bx (or cx/dx) as a pair, not mix and match. This was a typo during the translation from assembly code, and breaks at least one set of machines in the field (which return cx = dx = 0).

x86, setup: revert ACPI 3 E820 extended attributes support

2009-05-22T18:14:02+00:00

Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at 24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes. The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually needing the flags. This reverts all or part of the following checkins: cd670599b7b00d9263f6f11a05c0edeb9cbedaf3 c549e71d073a6e9a4847497344db28a784061455 However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a comment to explain that part. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499396 for some additional information.
