Rather than having X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES and X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT
(with inconsistent defaults), just having the latter suffices as
the former can be easily calculated from it.
To be consistent, also change X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES to
X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, and set it to 7 (128 bytes) for NUMA
to account for last level cache line size (which here matters
more than L1 cache line size).
Finally, make sure the default value for X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT,
when X86_GENERIC is selected, is being seen before that for the
individual CPU model options (other than on x86-64, where
GENERIC_CPU is part of the choice construct, X86_GENERIC is a
separate option on ix86).

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
0f8e2d62fa
("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.
When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.
The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
thing to do.
The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

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:
cd670599b7c549e71d07
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.

arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c contains several sanity checks on the

- the alignment test should be MIN_KERNEL_ALIGN on both 32 and 64
bits.
- the 64 bit maximum address was set to 2^40, which was the limit of
one specific x86-64 implementation. Change the test to 2^46, the
current Linux limit, and at least try to test the end rather than
the beginning.

A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.
Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.
Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it
to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention,

force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary.
Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to
the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear
memory the kernel will require during initialization.

In the pre-decompression code, use the appropriate largest possible
rep movs and rep stos to move code and clear bss, respectively. For
reverse copy, do note that the initial values are supposed to be the
address of the first (highest) copy datum, not one byte beyond the end
of the buffer.
rep strings are not necessarily the fastest way to perform these
operations on all current processors, but are likely to be in the
future, and perhaps more importantly, we want to encourage the
architecturally right thing to do here.
This also fixes a couple of trivial inefficiencies on 64 bits.

else the stack needs to be moved out of the bss segment, which is also

Both on 32 and 64 bits, we copy all the way up to the end of bss,
except that on 64 bits there is a hack to avoid copying on top of the
page tables. There is no point in copying bss at all, especially
since we are just about to zero it all anyway.
To clean up and unify the handling, we now do:
- copy from startup_32 to _bss.
- zero from _bss to _ebss.
- the _ebss symbol is aligned to an 8-byte boundary.
- the page tables are moved to a separate section.
Use _bss as the copy endpoint since _edata may be misaligned.

Look at the:
diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds
output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for
trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a
"pgtable" thing.
So unify them.
There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing
rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS
end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but
other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion.
For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64",
and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't
do that.
Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about
"head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was
actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't
new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the
vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;)

Impact: Fixes these modes on at least one system
The rewrite of the setup code into C resequenced the font setting and
register reprogramming phases of configuring nonstandard VGA modes
which use 480 scan lines in text mode. However, there exists at least
one board (Micro-Star MS-7383 version 2.0) on which this resequencing
causes an unusable display.
Revert to the original sequencing: set up 480-line mode, install the
font, and then adjust the vertical end register appropriately.
This failure was masked by the fact that the 480-line setup was broken
until checkin 5f64135612 (therefore this
is not a -stable candidate bug fix.)

Impact: code size reduction (possibly critical)
The x86 boot and decompression code has no use of the branch profiling
constructs, so disable them. This would bloat the setup code by as
much as 14K, eating up a fairly large chunk of the 32K area we are
guaranteed to have.

Impact: BIOS bug safety
For pre-ACPI 3 BIOSes, pre-initialize the end of the e820 buffer just
in case the BIOS returns an unchanged %ecx but without actually
touching the ACPI 3 extended flags field.
Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
Impact: ACPI 3 spec compliance, BIOS bug workaround
The ACPI 3 spec added another field to the E820 buffer -- which is
backwards incompatible, since it contains a validity bit.
Furthermore, there has been at least one report of a BIOS which
assumes that the buffer it is pointed at is the same buffer as for the
previous E820 call. Therefore, read the data into a temporary buffer
and copy the standard part of it if and only if the valid bit is set.

Impact: BIOS bugproofing
Since there are BIOSes known to clobber %ebx and %esi for INT 15 E820,

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.

Impact: obsolete feature removal
The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.
Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.

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.

When probing the keyboard controller to enable A20, if we get FF back
(which is *possible* as a valid status word, but is extremely
unlikely) then bail after much fewer iterations than we otherwise
would, and abort the attempt to access the KBC.
This hopefully should make it work a lot better for embedded platforms
which don't have a KBC and where the BIOS doesn't implement
INT 15h AX=2401h (and doesn't boot with A20 already enabled.)
If this works, it will be the one remaining use of CONFIG_X86_ELAN as
anything other than a processor type optimization option.

The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for

compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster
than bzip2.
It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
compressors.

The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal,
and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it
doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta),
3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we
can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this
allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and
therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.
