• be274eeaf   [PATCH] i386: extend bzImage protocol for relocatable protected mode kernel ... Browse Code »

  Extend bzImage protocol to enable bootloaders to load a completely relocatable
  bzImage. Now protected mode component of kernel is also relocatable and a
  boot-loader can load the protected mode component at a differnt physical
  address than 1MB. (If kernel was built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE)

  Kexec can make use of it to load this kernel at a different physical address
  to capture kernel crash dumps.

  Claim an ID number for Xen in the LOADER_TYPE field.

  Also, keep the table in zero-page.txt consistent with boot.txt.

  [hpa says: 6 was skipped because I couldn't rule out that it hadn't been
  unofficially used. It seemed easier to skip it for now.]

• f9ba70535   [PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128 ... Browse Code »

  The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
  the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
  With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
  reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.

  The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
  As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
  on bootloader-setup code interface.

  Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.

  Tested on:
  * grub booting bzImage
  * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
  * pxeboot of bzImage

  Side-effect:
  bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
  on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

  Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
  even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
  archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
  3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
  git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
  infrastructure for it.

  Let it rip!
