This is the code which actually does the switch to protected mode, including all preparation. It is also responsible for invoking the boot loader hooks, if present. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Video mode probing for the new x86 setup code. This code breaks down different drivers into modules. This code deliberately drops support for a lot of the vendor-specific mode probing present in the assembly version, since a lot of those probes have been found to be stale in current versions of those chips -- frequently, support for those modes have been dropped from recent video BIOSes due to space constraints, but the video BIOS signatures are still the same. However, additional drivers should be extremely straightforward to plug in, if desirable. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some Intel features are spread around in different CPUID leafs like 0x5, 0x6 and 0xA. Make this feature detection code common across i386 and x86_64. Display Intel Dynamic Acceleration feature in /proc/cpuinfo. This feature will be enabled automatically by current acpi-cpufreq driver. Refer to Intel Software Developer's Manual for more details about the feature. Thanks to hpa (H Peter Anvin) for the making the actual code detecting the scattered features data-driven.

An ST-506 disk these days is pretty much someone trying to pull ancient data using an auxilliary controller. Pulling data from the BIOS or CMOS is just plain wrong, since it's likely to be the primary OS disk... and would be user-entered data anyway. Instead, require the user enters it on the command line.

Add the termios2 structure ready for enabling on most platforms. One or two like Sparc are plain weird so have been left alone.

Pavel Emelianov authored
Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head. The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth introducing a common helpers. This makes code about 300 lines smaller: The first version of this patch made the helper functions static inline in the seq_file.h header. This patch moves them to the fs/seq_file.c as Andrew proposed. The vmlinux .text section sizes are as follows: 2.6.22-rc1-mm1: 0x001794d5 with the previous version: 0x00179505 with this patch: 0x00179135 The config file used was make allnoconfig with the "y" inclusion of all the possible options to make the files modified by the patch compile plus drivers I have on the test node. This patch: Many places in kernel use seq_file API to iterate over a regular list_head. The code for such iteration is identical in all the places, so it's worth introducing a common helpers.

This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression algorithm to the kernel. Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and are jointly signing off). The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and x86_64 with favourable results. There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4 since its much faster than zlib.
