x86/boot: Use common BUILD_BUG_ON

2019-08-16T12:15:50Z

Defining BUILD_BUG_ON causes redefinition warnings when adding includes of include/linux/build_bug.h in files unrelated to x86/boot. For example, adding an include of build_bug.h to include/linux/bits.h shows the following warnings: CC arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.o In file included from ./include/linux/bits.h:22, from ./arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h:5, from arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.c:28: ./include/linux/build_bug.h:49: warning: "BUILD_BUG_ON" redefined 49 | #define BUILD_BUG_ON(condition) \ | In file included from arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.c:22: arch/x86/boot/boot.h:31: note: this is the location of the previous definition 31 | #define BUILD_BUG_ON(condition) ((void)sizeof(char[1 - 2*!!(condition)])) | The macro was added to boot.h in commit 62bd0337d0c4 ("Top header file for new x86 setup code"). At that time, BUILD_BUG_ON was defined in kernel.h. Presumably BUILD_BUG_ON was redefined to avoid pulling in kernel.h. Since then, BUILD_BUG_ON and similar macros have been split to a separate header file.

treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 497

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

2018-10-29T06:13:28Z

"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: Create a separate string.h file to provide standard string functions

2014-03-19T22:43:45Z

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, setup: enable early console output from the decompressor

2010-08-03T03:32:20Z

This enables the decompressor output to be seen on the serial console. Most of the code is shared with the regular boot code. We could add printf to the decompressor if needed, but currently there is no sufficiently compelling user. -v2: define BOOT_BOOT_H to avoid include boot.h -v3: early_serial_base need to be static in misc.c ? -v4: create seperate string.c printf.c cmdline.c early_serial_console.c after hpa's patch that allow global variables in compressed/misc stage -v5: remove printf.c related Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: H.

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

2010-07-12T21:46:00Z

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.

x86: remove the Voyager 32-bit subarch

2009-02-22T23:54:01Z

Impact: remove unused/broken code The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27, v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels. No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage. Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken. In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the build problems already known, needs serious and significant changes and probably a rewrite to support it. CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it. While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme, voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable fashion. So remove this inactive code for now. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
