x86, setup: mark %esi as clobbered in E820 BIOS call

2009-05-02T17:56:40Z

upstream commit: 01522df346f846906eaf6ca57148641476209909 Jordan Hargrave diagnosed a BIOS clobbering %esi in the E820 call. That particular BIOS has been fixed, but there is a possibility that this is responsible for other occasional reports of early boot failure, and it does not hurt to add %esi to the clobbers. -stable candidate patch.

x86: use limited register constraint for setnz

2008-11-25T14:38:03Z

Impact: build fix with certain compilers GCC can decide to use %dil when "r" is used, which is not valid for setnz. This bug was brought out by Stephen Rothwell's merging of the branch tracer into linux-next.

x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards

2008-10-23T05:55:23Z

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

fbdev: ignore VESA modes if framebuffer does not support them

2008-10-16T18:21:45Z

Currently, it is possible to set a graphics VESA mode at boot time via the vga= parameter even when no framebuffer driver supporting this is configured. This could lead to the system booting with a black screen, without a usable console. Fix this problem by only allowing to set graphics modes at boot time if a supporting framebuffer driver is configured. Signed-off-by: Michal Januszewski Acked-by: Krzysztof Helt Cc: "H.
