Without this patch the kexec-purgatory.c and purgatory.ro files are not removed after make mrproper. Signed-off-by: Michael Welling Acked-by: Vivek Goyal Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" Cc: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for new syscall

2014-08-29T23:28:16Z

Currently new system call kexec_file_load() and all the associated code compiles if CONFIG_KEXEC=y. But new syscall also compiles purgatory code which currently uses gcc option -mcmodel=large. This option seems to be available only gcc 4.4 onwards. Hiding new functionality behind a new config option will not break existing users of old gcc. Those who wish to enable new functionality will require new gcc. Having said that, I am trying to figure out how can I move away from using -mcmodel=large but that can take a while. I think there are other advantages of introducing this new config option. As this option will be enabled only on x86_64, other arches don't have to compile generic kexec code which will never be used. This new code selects CRYPTO=y and CRYPTO_SHA256=y. And all other arches had to do this for CONFIG_KEXEC. Now with introduction of new config option, we can remove crypto dependency from other arches. Now CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is available only on x86_64. So whereever I had CONFIG_X86_64 defined, I got rid of that. For CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE, instead of doing select CRYPTO=y, I changed it to "depends on CRYPTO=y". This should be safer as "select" is not recursive. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Cc: Eric Biederman Cc: H.

purgatory: core purgatory functionality

2014-08-08T22:57:32Z

Create a stand alone relocatable object purgatory which runs between two kernels. This name, concept and some code has been taken from kexec-tools. Idea is that this code runs after a crash and it runs in minimal environment. So keep it separate from rest of the kernel and in long term we will have to practically do no maintenance of this code. This code also has the logic to do verify sha256 hashes of various segments which have been loaded into memory. So first we verify that the kernel we are jumping to is fine and has not been corrupted and make progress only if checsums are verified. This code also takes care of copying some memory contents to backup region.

x86, build: Change code16gcc.h from a C header to an assembly header

2014-06-04T20:16:48Z

By changing code16gcc.h from a C header to an assembly header and use the -Wa,... option to gcc to force it to be added to the assembly input, we can avoid the problems with gcc reordering code bits on us. If we have -m16, we still use it, of course. Suggested-by: Kevin O'Connor Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-xw8ibgdemucl9fz3i1bymu6w@git.kernel.org

x86-64, build: Fix stack protector Makefile breakage with 32-bit userland

2014-05-07T21:14:44Z

If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces: :1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120. There are several places a fix is possible, but the following seems cleanest. (But it's minimal; it would also be possible to factor out a bunch of stuff from the two branches of the if.)

x86 kbuild: LLVMLinux: More cc-options added for clang

2014-04-09T20:44:35Z

Protect more options for x86 with cc-option so that we don't get errors when using clang instead of gcc. Add more or different options when using clang as well. Also need to enforce that SSE is off for clang and the stack is 8-byte aligned. Signed-off-by: Jan-Simon Möller Signed-off-by: Behan Webster Signed-off-by: Mark Charlebois
