2009-03-11x86, kexec: x86_64: add kexec jump support for x86_64Huang Ying
Impact: New major feature This patch add kexec jump support for x86_64. More information about kexec jump can be found in corresponding x86_32 support patch. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2009-02-04x86: kexec: Use one page table in x86_64 machine_kexecHuang Ying
Impact: reduce kernel BSS size by 7 pages, improve code readability Two page tables are used in current x86_64 kexec implementation. One is used to jump from kernel virtual address to identity map address, the other is used to map all physical memory. In fact, on x86_64, there is no conflict between kernel virtual address space and physical memory space, so just one page table is sufficient. The page table pages used to map control page are dynamically allocated to save memory if kexec image is not loaded. ASM code used to map control page is replaced by C code too.

2008-10-31kexec/i386: setup kexec page table in CHuang Ying
Impact: change the kexec bootstrap code implementation from assembly to C This patch transforms the kexec page tables setup code from assembler code to C code in machine_kexec_prepare. This improves readability and reduces code line number. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-10-31kexec/i386: allocate page table pages dynamicallyHuang Ying
Impact: save .text size when kexec is built in but not loaded This patch adds an architecture specific struct kimage_arch into struct kimage. The pointers to page table pages used by kexec are added to struct kimage_arch. The page tables pages are dynamically allocated in machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS segment. This will save up to 20k memory when kexec image is not loaded. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-10-23x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
