Subject: [PATCH 02/14] x86, boot: honor CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START when relocatable
Date: Thu,  7 May 2009 15:26:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241735222-6640-3-git-send-email-hpa@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241735222-6640-1-git-send-email-hpa@linux.intel.com>

From: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Currently, when building a relocatable kernel, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
is ignored.  This is undesirable, as we would like to keep the kernel
out of ZONE_DMA and away from the possible memory hole at 15 MB (which
some vendors for some bizarre reason still have.)

With this patch, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is considered the *minimum*
address at which the kernel can be located; a relocating bootloader
can locate it higher, but not lower.  This also restores the
originally intended behavior that CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is functionally a
noop if used with a non-relocating bootloader.

This patch also change movsb and stosb to movsl, stosl and stosq, to
shave a small fraction off the boot time.
