* x86, boot: Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocolH. Peter Anvin2013-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define the 2.12 bzImage boot protocol: add xloadflags and additional fields to allow the command line, initramfs and struct boot_params to live above the 4 GiB mark. The xloadflags now communicates if this is a 64-bit kernel with the legacy 64-bit entry point and which of the EFI handover entry points are supported. Avoid adding new read flags to loadflags because of claimed bootloaders testing the whole byte for == 1 to determine bzImageness at least until the issue can be researched further. This is based on patches by Yinghai Lu and David Woodhouse.

Note that there are several conflicts between "unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline; resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | patch(1) doesn't create zero-length files, so my kernel didn't compile. Put something in these files so patch(1) actually creates them.
