x86/asm: Always set A (accessed) flag in GDT descriptors We have no known use for having the CPU track whether GDT descriptors have been accessed or not. Simplify the code by adding the flag to the common flags and removing it everywhere else.

x86/asm: Replace magic numbers in GDT descriptors, script-generated change Actually replace the numeric values by the new symbolic values. I used this to find all the existing users of the GDT_ENTRY*() macros: $ git grep -P 'GDT_ENTRY(_INIT)?\(' Some of the lines will exceed 80 characters, but some of them will be shorter again in the next couple of patches.

x86/asm: Replace magic numbers in GDT descriptors, preparations We'd like to replace all the magic numbers in various GDT descriptors with new, semantically meaningful, symbolic values. In order to be able to verify that the change doesn't cause any actual changes to the compiled binary code, I've split the change into two patches: - Part 1 (this commit): everything _but_ actually replacing the numbers - Part 2 (the following commit): _only_ replacing the numbers The reason we need this split for verification is that including new headers causes some spurious changes to the object files, mostly line number changes in the debug info but occasionally other subtle codegen changes.

x86: remove zImage support Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

x86: unify and correct the GDT_ENTRY() macro Impact: None (cleanup only) Merge the GDT_ENTRY() macro between arch/x86/boot/pm.c and arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.c and put the new one in <asm-x86/segment.h>. While we're at it, correct the bitmasks for the limit and flags. The new version relies on using ULL constants in order to cause type promotion rather than explicit casts; this avoids having to include <linux/types.h> in <asm-x86/segments.h>. Signed-off-by: H.

x86 setup: correct the base in the GDT_ENTRY() macro The GDT_ENTRY() macro in pm.c would incorrectly cut the bottom 8 bits off the base. We didn't define any bases with the bottom 8 bits nonzero, so it is a non-manifest bug, but it's still a bug. Pointed out by John Smith <johnsmith9344@gmail.com>.
