59f09ba2b6 x86: fix comment in protected mode header
Comments in arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S erroneously refer to the
real mode pointer as the second and the heap area as the third argument
to decompress_kernel(). In fact, these have been the first and second
argument, respectively, since v2.6.20.

This patch corrects the comments. It introduces no code changes.

2d6ffcca62 inflate: refactor inflate malloc code
Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot
process and this is provided with a set of four functions:
malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release.

The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement
free.  This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding
allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena.

This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying
all the malloc/free implementations.

The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses:
 - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which
   allocations should be made
 - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which
   allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on
   the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed

The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog()
function call.  This function will be called several times during the
decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is
still running.  If an architecture provides such a call, then it must
define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls
arch_decomp_wdog().

Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the
kernel and improved by me.

4fdf08b5bf x86: unify and correct the GDT_ENTRY() macro
Merge the GDT_ENTRY() macro between arch/x86/boot/pm.c and
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.c and put the new one in
<asm-x86/segment.h>.

While we're at it, correct the bitmasks for the limit and flags.  The
new version relies on using ULL constants in order to cause type
promotion rather than explicit casts; this avoids having to include
<linux/types.h> in <asm-x86/segments.h>.

908ec7afac x86: remove arbitrary ELF section limit in i386 relocatable kernel
Impact: build failure in maximal configurations

The 32-bit x86 relocatable kernel requires an auxilliary host program
to process the relocations.  This program had a hard-coded arbitrary
limit of a 100 ELF sections.  Instead of a hard-coded limit, allocate
the structures dynamically.

aa60d13fb0 x86: setup: issue a null command after enabling A20 via KBC
Apparently, DOS and possibly other legacy operating systems issued a
null command to the keyboard controller after toggling A20,
specifically "pulse output pins" with no output pins specified.  This
was presumably done for synchronization reasons.  This has made it
into at least the UHCI spec, and it has been found to cause
compatibility problems when "legacy USB" is enabled (which it almost
always is) to not have this byte sent.

It is *NOT* clear if any of these compatibility problems has any
effect on Linux.  However, for maximum compatibility, issue this null
command after togging A20 through the KBC.

c3965bd151 x86 boot: proper use of ARRAY_SIZE instead of repeated E820MAX constant
This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more
memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86
legacy BIOS E820 interface.  The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX ==
128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the
size for several arrays and loops over those arrays.

The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those
arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro
evaluated for the array being looped.  That way, a subsequent patch can
change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code.

This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine,
which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries.
This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array.  Once again,
this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some
calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code.

As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further
combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for
this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration.

This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel
binary.

1722770f13 x86-boot: don't request VBE2 information
The new x86 setup code (4fd06960f1) broke booting on an old P3/500MHz
with an onboard Voodoo3 of mine. After debugging it, it turned out
to be caused by the fact that the vesa probing now asks for VBE2 data.

Disassembing the video BIOS shows that it overflows the vesa_general_info
structure when VBE2 data is requested because the source addresses for the
information strings which get strcpy'ed to the buffer lie outside the 32K
BIOS code (and hence contain long sequences of 0xff's).

E.G.:

(The full BIOS can be found at http://peter.korsgaard.com/vgabios.bin
if interested).

The old setup code didn't ask for VBE2 info, and the new code doesn't
actually do anything with the extra information, so the fix is to simply
not request it. Other BIOS'es might have the same problem.

829157be59 x86: handle BIOSes which terminate e820 with CF=1 and no SMAP
The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the
last legitimate memory block.  However, several BIOSes don't do that
and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of
the list.  For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the
SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code
in this case.

To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820
chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a
plain insane e820 implementation.  However, we need to make the test
for CF = 1 before the SMAP check.

This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the
memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to
spec.

9b706aee7d x86: trivial printk optimizations
In arch/x86/boot/printf.c gets rid of unused tail of digits: const char
*digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; (we are using 0-9a-f
only)

Uses smaller/faster lowercasing (by ORing with 0x20)
if we know that we work on numbers/digits. Makes
strtoul smaller, and also we are getting rid of

  static const char small_digits[] = "0123456789abcdefx";
  static const char large_digits[] = "0123456789ABCDEFX";

since this works equally well:

  static const char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF";

Size savings:

$ size vmlinux.org vmlinux
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 877320  112252   90112 1079684  107984 vmlinux.org
 877048  112252   90112 1079412  107874 vmlinux

It may be also a tiny bit faster because code has less
branches now, but I doubt it is measurable.
