[PATCH 01/12] x86_64: Allow fixmaps to be used with the initial page table.

[Eric W. Biederman]

This patch preallocates the intermediate page table entries so that
all that is needed to setup a fixmap is to fill in the appropriate
pte.

By doing this modern hardware that uses memory mapped access can be
talked to early in boot through a fixmap. 

Allowing USB debugging and the like.

[PATCH 02/12] i386 head.S: Remove unnecessary use of %ebx as the boot cpu flag

[Eric W. Biederman]

Currently in head.S there are two ways we test to see if we
are the boot cpu.  By looking at %ebx and by looking at the
static variable ready.  When changing things around I have
found that it gets tricky to preserve %ebx.  So this
patch just switches head.S over to the more reliable
test of always using ready.

Hopefully later we can kill these tests entirely.

[PATCH 03/12] i386 head.S: Always run the full set of paging state

[Eric W. Biederman]

I am preparing to convert the boot time page table to the kernels
native format.  To achieve that I need to enable PAE. Enabling PSE
and the no execute bit would not hurt.  So this patch modifies
the boot cpu path to execute all of the kernels enable code
if and only if we have the proper bits set in mmu_cr4_features.

[PATCH 04/12] i386 voyager: Use modern techniques to setup and teardown low identiy mappings.

[Eric W. Biederman]

This is a trivial and hopefully obviously correct patch to setup
and teardown the identity mappings the way the rest of arch/i386
does.

My new page table setup code will break some assumptions below so
this is my attempt to keep voyager working.

[PATCH 05/12] i386: During page table initialization always set the leaf page table entries.

[Eric W. Biederman]

If we don't set the leaf page table entries it is quite possible that
will inherit and incorrect page table entry from the initial boot
page table setup in head.S.  So we need to redo the effort here,
so we pick up PSE, PGE and the like.

Hypervisors like Xen require that their page tables be read-only,
which is slightly incompatible with our low identity mappings, however
I discussed this with Jeremy he has modified the Xen early set_pte
function to avoid problems in this area.

Andi I sent this once a part of the discussion on this issue so
you may already have this patch in your queue.

[PATCH 06/12] i386: Minimum cpu detection cleanups.

This patch modifies verify_cpu to check for a 486 even when
REQUIRED_MASK1 == 0 

This patch modifies REQUIRED_MASK1 to require  PAE when CONFIG_X86_PAE
is set not when HIGHMEM64G is set, not that there is a functional
difference but it seems an obvious fix.

[PATCH 08/12] i386: Convert the boot time page tables to the kernels native format.

[Eric W. Biederman]

Currently we have a lot of special case code and a lot of limitations
because we cannot count on the initial boot time page tables being in
the format our page table handling routines know how to manipulate.
So this patch rewrites the code that initializes our boot time page
tables.

The error message for running on cpus that don't support PAE mode is
removed from mm/init.c.  We are already checking and printing an error
message to the user in setup.S.

boot_ioreamp is removed and replaced with the already existing and
semantically equivalent bt_ioremap.  The practical difference was that
bt_ioremap used fixmaps where boot_ioremap hacked the boot time page
table.  Since the boot time page table is now in the native format
fixmaps work as soon as we hit C code.

The voyager code is modified to use bt_ioremap, instead of hacking the
page tables in an ugly way.  We now have a good universal replacement
and changing voyager means nothing cares which order we store the
pages in pg0. 

The meat of the change is the introduction of the function
early_pgtable_init written in C to build the initial page tables. By
writing in C, I only have about 6 lines of code that are different
between the PAE and the non-PAE case, and the code is a little more
approachable.  Unfortuantely we still have to contend with the fact
that the code is running in a very weird environment and so can not
use virtual addresses.  Which limits the opportunites for code reuse.

The page table entry flags now use the standard defines from pgtable.h
instead of a hard coded 0x007 which while not wrong was not really
correct either.

The big change is that now the boot time page tables now add an extra
pte page to support the kernel fixmap entries.  In addition to being
very useful this was necessary so that boot_ioremap could be replaced
with something that work in the presence of PAE page tables.

The net result is a simpler and easier to work in, early boot
environment.

[PATCH 09/12] i386/x86_64: EHCI usb debug port early printk support.

[Eric W. Biederman]

With legacy free systems serial ports have stopped being an option
to get early boot traces and other debug information out of a machine.

EHCI USB controllers provide a relatively simple debug interface
that can control port 1 of the root hub.  This interface is limited
to 8 byte packets so it can not be used with most USB devices.  But
with a USB debug device this is sufficient to talk to another machine.

When the special feature of the EHCI is not enabled the port
1 of the root hub acts just like any other USB port so machines
with the necessary support are widely available.

This debug device can be used to replace serial ports for
kgdb, kdb, and console support.  And gregkh has a simple usb
serial driver for it so user space applications that control
serial ports should work unmodified.

Currently there only appears to be one manufacturer of debug
devices see:
http://www.plxtech.com/products/NET2000/NET20DC/default.asp

I think simple RS232 serial ports provide a nicer and simpler
interface but the usb debug port looks like a functional alternative
when you don't have that.

My code likely doesn't handle all of the corner cases yet.  But this
is getting it out there so other people can starting using it and help
make clean drivers.  When writing a polling driver you do have to be
careful with your logic, because if you do things like reset a usb
device at the wrong time you can completely confuse various EHCI
controllers.

My driver should be sufficient to work with any EHCI in a realatively
clean state, and needs no special BIOS support just the hardware.
This appears to be different than the way the windows drivers are
using these debug devices.

The big dependency that was holding this code back was the requirement
for early fixmap support and that is now present (early in this patchset)
so things should work relatively cleanly.

There is currently a conflict between the early debug code and
ehci-hcd where if you leave the early debug printk' enabled after the
normal console hand off point "earlyprintk=dbgp,keep" the ehci-hcd
driver will hang the kernel while initializing, despite detecting
that the early debug point is in use.

For users the hard part looks like it will be finding cables and
finding which is usb debug port 1 and realizing that there is
flow control so the kernel boot will not happen if someone is not
reading the serial console data.

[PATCH 10/12] i386: Introduce head32.c

[Eric W. Biederman]

Copy x86_64 and add a head32.c so we can start moving early
architecture initialization out of  assembly.

This slightly delays when we setup the idt.  But by doing it in C

[PATCH 12/12] i386: remove cpuid checking in head.S

[Eric W. Biederman]

This patch augments the existing cpu initialization code in C
with the the few missing pieces that were performed in assembly.
Allowing us to remove cpu initialization from head.S completely.

This should also allow remove the need to call cpu_detect in
the paravirt initialization code paths.

The default PAGE_OFFSET is at 0x7800000 for the 2G/2G split.
All of these options were originally !X86_PAE, I assume
the intention was to be able to have 2G of RAM without
needing high memory.

I don't really care I just saw the problem and decided to prevent
people trying a combination that simply doesn't work.

Sure.  A little aging to gain confidence with it is reasonable.  At
this point I finally have the glitches worked out so these patches
needed to get out of my private queue.

It works for the 586 beasts ... I'll dig out some 486 cards and test
them later.  Thanks,

Re: [PATCH 09/12] i386/x86_64: EHCI usb debug port early printk support.

[Andi Kleen]

Thanks for writing that code. It should be an interesting alternative
on boxes where firescope doesn't work.

I hope I can eventually merge early firewire support code too.

This needs a CONFIG_* at least. And some documentation on how to set it
up on both sides.

But not merged yet, right? I was hoping it could be done from
user space anyways.

That's nasty. Any way to work around that?

Can you put it in a separate file please?
Perhaps with a little abstraction in drivers/usb ?

But you don't?

This should be probably merged into the early quirks loop

usb would seem to be more intuitive

Besides CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK I assume.  It is enough code so there is a
case for it.

Sorry old comment, that piece has been merged for a while.
It is the usb_debug module.  It creates a tty device that you
can just cat to get the usb debug output.

Maybe.  It has been long enough since I wrote the code
I need to go back and look.

Good point.  At least this early I'm not certain there is any
way I can productively do that.  This is before we have calibrated
the tsc's and the like so timeouts are difficult, and as I
recall our default guess isn't.

This lack of a good timeout looks to be the reason ehci_wait_for_port
doesn't timeout in a timely fashion because I don't timeout until
I have wrapped a 32bit number.

Could be.  I was thinking usb debug port. dbgp is at least unique,
and unfortunately it doesn't look like any old usb cable will
do, so a straight usb I expect would be very misleading.

The truth is I don't have a big need for this.  I put it together as
a proof of concept to see how hard it would be, etc.  I can clean
it up a little but I'm really hoping I can get this into one of
the development trees and people who have more use for it then I
do can play with it and improve things.

One persons experience on two machines probably isn't quite enough
of a sample to Document how to use this.  At least beyond what I
did in my changelog.
