2013-10-13x86, kaslr: Select random position from e820 mapsKees Cook
Counts available alignment positions across all e820 maps, and chooses one randomly for the new kernel base address, making sure not to collide with unsafe memory areas.

2013-10-13x86, kaslr: Provide randomness functionsKees Cook
Adds potential sources of randomness: RDRAND, RDTSC, or the i8254. This moves the pre-alternatives inline rdrand function into the header so both pieces of code can use it. Availability of RDRAND is then controlled by CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM, if someone wants to disable it even for kASLR.

2013-10-13x86, kaslr: Return location from decompress_kernelKees Cook
This allows decompress_kernel to return a new location for the kernel to be relocated to. Additionally, enforces CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as the minimum relocation position when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. With CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE set, the choose_kernel_location routine will select a new location to decompress the kernel, though here it is presently a no-op. The kernel command line option "nokaslr" is introduced to bypass these routines.

2013-01-29x86, boot: Sanitize boot_params if not zeroed on creationH. Peter Anvin
Use the new sentinel field to detect bootloaders which fail to follow protocol and don't initialize fields in struct boot_params that they do not explicitly initialize to zero. Based on an original patch and research by Yinghai Lu. Changed by hpa to be invoked both in the decompression path and in the kernel proper; the latter for the case where a bootloader takes over decompression.

2012-07-21x86, boot: Exclude cmdline.c if you can't use itGokul Caushik
CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is the only feature that might use command line parsing in the decompression stage. If it is disabled then we can exclude the related code to save space. This can result in an estimated space savings of 2240 bytes from the compressed kernel image.

2012-07-21x86, boot: Exclude early_serial_console.c if can't use it.Joe Millenbach
Removes early_serial_console.c code if we don't have the config option that enables it (EARLY_PRINTK). When disabling this code, make early_serial_base a constant 0 to allow the compiler to optimize away the code that checks for early_serial_base.

2010-08-02x86, setup: move isdigit.h to ctype.h, header files on top.H. Peter Anvin
It is a subset of <ctype.h> functionality, so name it ctype.h. Also, reorganize header files so #include statements are clustered near the top as they should be. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> LKML-Reference: <4C5752F2.8030206@kernel.org>
2010-08-02x86, setup: enable early console output from the decompressorYinghai Lu
This enables the decompressor output to be seen on the serial console. Most of the code is shared with the regular boot code. We could add printf to the decompressor if needed, but currently there is no sufficiently compelling user. -v2: define BOOT_BOOT_H to avoid include boot.h -v3: early_serial_base need to be static in misc.c ? -v4: create seperate string.c printf.c cmdline.c early_serial_console.c after hpa's patch that allow global variables in compressed/misc stage -v5: remove printf.c related Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H.
