On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message. Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda) There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too. This patch is adds an informational message on early boot. CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m) so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays. I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end- user to find out, what`s the issue. For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset. This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

This patch extends the early commandline parser to support boolean options. The current version in mainline only supports parsing "option=arg" value pairs. With this it should be easy making other messages like "Uncompressing kernel" honour the "quiet" parameter, too. Signed-off-by:

Display VESA graphics modes, with their mode IDs, in the vga=ask menu. Most VESA mode numbers are platform-dependent, so it helps to have an easy way to display them. Based in part on a patch by Petr Vandrovec <petr@vandrovec.name>. Cc: Petr Vandrovec <petr@vandrovec.name> Signed-off-by:

Intel VT doesn't like to engage when the protected-mode state isn't fully initialized. Make life easier for it by initializing LDTR (to null) and TR (to a dummy hunk of low memory which will never actually be touched.) Signed-off-by:
-
H. Peter Anvin authored
Make the transition to protected mode more paranoid by having back-to-back near jump (to synchronize the 386/486 prefetch queue) and far jump (to set up the code segment.) While we're at it, zero as many registers as practical (for future expandability of the 32-bit entry interface) and enter 32-bit mode with a valid stack. Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit entrypoint, but it may make debugging hacks easier to write. Signed-off-by:

When the _PAGE_FOO constants are defined as (1ul << _PAGE_BIT_FOO), they become unsigned longs. In 32-bit PAE mode, these end up being implicitly cast to 64-bit types when used to manipulate a pte, and because they're unsigned the top 32-bits are 0, destroying the upper bits of the pte. When _PAGE_FOO constants are given a signed integer type, the cast to 64-bits will sign-extend so that the upper bits are all ones, preserving the upper pte bits in manipulations. Explain this in a prominent place. Signed-off-by:

Put all the defines for mapping pagetable operations to their native versions (for the non-paravirt case) into one place. Make the corresponding changes to paravirt.h. The tricky part here is that when a pagetable entry can't be updated atomically (ie, 32-bit PAE), we need special handlers for pte_clear, set_pte_atomic and set_pte_present. However, the other two modes don't need special handling for these, and can use a common set_pte(_at) path. [ mingo@elte.hu: fixes ] Signed-off-by:

Fix various compilation problems as a result of changing pte_t. Signed-off-by:
-
Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored
Make sure pte_t, whatever its definition, has a pte element with type pteval_t. This allows common code to access it without needing to be specifically parameterised on what pagetable mode we're compiling for. For 32-bit, this means that pte_t becomes a union with "pte" and "{ pte_low, pte_high }" (PAE) or just "pte_low" (non-PAE). Signed-off-by: -
