EFI: Stash ROMs if they're not in the PCI BAR

2012-12-05T21:33:26Z

EFI provides support for providing PCI ROMs via means other than the ROM BAR. This support vanishes after we've exited boot services, so add support for stashing copies of the ROMs in setup_data if they're not otherwise available.

x86, efi: Handover Protocol

2012-07-20T23:18:58Z

As things currently stand, traditional EFI boot loaders and the EFI boot stub are carrying essentially the same initialisation code required to setup an EFI machine for booting a kernel. There's really no need to have this code in two places and the hope is that, with this new protocol, initialisation and booting of the kernel can be left solely to the kernel's EFI boot stub. The responsibilities of the boot loader then become, o Loading the kernel image from boot media File system code still needs to be carried by boot loaders for the scenario where the kernel and initrd files reside on a file system that the EFI firmware doesn't natively understand, such as ext4, etc. o Providing a user interface Boot loaders still need to display any menus/interfaces, for example to allow the user to select from a list of kernels. Bump the boot protocol number because we added the 'handover_offset' field to indicate the location of the handover protocol entry point. Cc: H.

keyboard: Use BIOS Keyboard variable to set Numlock

2012-05-08T21:19:41Z

The PC BIOS does provide a NUMLOCK flag containing the desired state of this LED. This patch sets the current state according to the data in the bios.

x86: Add missing bzImage fields to struct setup_header

2011-12-10T01:35:33Z

commit 37ba7ab5e33c ("x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields") introduced some new fields into the bzImage header but struct setup_header was not updated accordingly. Add the missing 'pref_address' and 'init_size' fields. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1318848017-12301-1-git-send-email-matt@console-pimps.org Signed-off-by: H.

x86: Add device tree support

2011-02-23T21:27:52Z

This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at least boot protocol 2.09. Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the code compile. The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded otherwise. This includes things like - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus? - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC? - where could my hpet be?

x86, olpc: Add support for calling into OpenFirmware

2010-06-18T21:54:36Z

Add support for saving OFW's cif, and later calling into it to run OFW commands. OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range 0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's page table. This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer x86 hardware.
