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 <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: H.

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.

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: <stdin>: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.)

We recently had the case where wrongly used floating-constant 'E' caused the generation of traditional x87 instructions in kernel code and wreaking all kinds of havoc. Disable the generation of those too. This will save people a lot of time when trying to debug such issues by erroring out of the build instead of let them manifest themselves in very spectacular and happy-crappy ways at runtime. We're using -mno-fp-ret-in-387 in addition to -mno-80387 (which is == -msoft-float) because, as the gcc manpage says: On machines where a function returns floating-point results in the 80387 register stack, some floating-point opcodes may be emitted even if -msoft-float is used. so we want to turn off *all* non-integer instructions involving any architectural FPU state, unless it is absolutely necessary (and those cases need special handling anyway).

In checkin 5551a34e x86-64, build: Always pass in -mno-sse we unconditionally added -mno-sse to the main build, to keep newer compilers from generating SSE instructions from autovectorization. However, this did not extend to the special environments (arch/x86/boot, arch/x86/boot/compressed, and arch/x86/realmode/rm). Add -mno-sse to the compiler command line for these environments, and add -mno-mmx to all the environments as well, as we don't want a compiler to generate MMX code either. This patch also removes a $(cc-option) call for -m32, since we have long since stopped supporting compilers too old for the -m32 option, and in fact hardcode it in other places in the Makefiles.

It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy to trash an entire build tree that way. This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from 'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64), which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we started so long ago. This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands such as: make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig make ARCH=i386 randconfig ... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation is not desirable. In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values. We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using $KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding CONFIG_64BIT. We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing that though.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes. However, this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack *mis*aligned! gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions. Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant, but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is passed on the same command line.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code.

This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64 and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with the same mechanism. Cc: H. J.

Kbuild allows for us to probe for the existence of specific constructs in the assembler, use them to find out if we can use fxsave64 and permit the compiler to generate better code. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>

The arch/x86/Makefile uses scripts/gcc-x86_$(BITS)-has-stack-protector.sh to check if cc1 supports -fstack-protector. When -fPIE is passed to cc1, these scripts fail causing stack protection to be disabled even when it is available. This fix is similar to commit c47efe55 Reported-by: Kai Dietrich <mail@cleeus.de> Signed-off-by: Magnus Granberg <zorry@gentoo.org> LKML-Reference: <20100913101319.748A1148E216@opensource.dyc.edu> Signed-off-by: Anthony G.

The newer assemblers support the .cfi_sections directive so we can put the CFI from .S files into the .debug_frame section that is preserved in unstripped vmlinux and in separate debuginfo, rather than the .eh_frame section that is now discarded by vmlinux.lds.S.

For some reason the 64-bit tree was doing this differently and I can't see why it would need to. This correct behaviour when you have two GPUs plugged in and 32-bit put the console in one place and 64-bit in another.

STACKPROTECTOR_ALL has a really high overhead (runtime and stack footprint) and is not really worth it protection wise (the normal STACKPROTECTOR is in effect for all functions with buffers already), so lets just remove the option entirely.

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: 0f8e2d62 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.
